Gemini can now generate a 30-second approximation of what real music sounds like

Google Unleashes Lyria 3: AI Music Generation Just Got Real

In a move that’s sending shockwaves through the music and tech industries, Google has just announced the rollout of Lyria 3, its most advanced AI music generation model yet, now integrated directly into Gemini. This isn’t just another incremental update—it’s a full-blown revolution in how we create and experience music.

Starting today, Gemini users can generate 30-second music tracks with nothing more than a simple text prompt. Want a “comical R&B slow jam about a sock finding their match”? Done. Prefer something more intricate? You can fine-tune individual elements like tempo, drum style, and instrumentation to craft your perfect sound. And if you’re feeling visual, Lyria 3 can even generate music based on a photo or video, pairing your audio with album art created by Google’s Nano Banana image model.

But Lyria 3 isn’t just about convenience—it’s about quality. Google claims this new model produces more “realistic and musically complex” tracks than ever before, with improved control over song components and automatic lyric generation. The results are impressive: instrumental sections sound polished and professional, though the AI-generated lyrics can sometimes veer into the realm of the delightfully bizarre.

For YouTube creators, Lyria 3 is also making its debut in YouTube Shorts’ “Dream Track” feature, allowing for the creation of detailed backing tracks that could transform short-form content creation.

Of course, with great power comes great responsibility. All tracks generated with Lyria 3 are watermarked with Google’s SynthID technology, making it easy to identify AI-generated content and preventing misuse. Google has also rolled out its SynthID Detector tool to help users verify the origin of media.

The feature is rolling out now to Gemini users aged 18 and over, with support for English, Spanish, German, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese. While currently limited to 30-second clips, the potential for expansion is enormous—imagine Lyria 3 integrated into Google Messages or other Google apps.

This announcement marks a significant milestone in AI’s creative capabilities, blurring the lines between human and machine-made music. As Lyria 3 hits Gemini, we’re witnessing the dawn of a new era in music creation—one where anyone with a prompt can become a composer.
