Album 7
Scroll to below the player for short descriptions of each song and style.
My first experiments with AI music... it’s great you can be a boyband, a narrative singer, an indie-pop girl or an eigthties duo, a rockband in a stadium - or even Johnny Bravo. All lyrics are mine and all music (melody, voices, arrangements) on this album is made by Suno. Matching the intent of a song would take me 2-5 days to record it. Suno does that in minutes - and with better results than I can do by myself, I hate to say... But it helps to get my lyrics out there. Enjoy!

The beauty of the strandbeests I saw a documentary about Theo Jansen and his Strandbeests. Very impressive, the artist as well as his work. I’m honored he made a video with it. Singer-songwriter, folky song.
Love, laugh, live! Uptempo joyful song, with some extra message: be yourself and respect others. Boyband pop.
Queen of hearts How well do you know someone if only half of her is shown? Exploring emotional distance and relationship dynamics through the metaphor of a playing card. Jazz-soul, bigband
Lorie & Layla Lorie was known as the porn-star Layla - subtitled ‘the lay of LA’. After a short stardom, her particular audience - into extremely large women - lost interest. Sad story. Indie / pop.
Make that dollar count We are alle made of elements, that are worth about a dollar... Stadium rock song - a bit out of place here.
Music can hit you hard Lyrics based on quotes by Ravel, Victor Hugo, Plato and Bob Marley about music. This is the R&B-version.
Perfect pair About a perfect couple that lived only for each other, breaking up after noticing that the world is larger and more interesting with more people. Duet, 80’s pop.
RIP In the mid-90’s I saw a documentary series about odd people. This song is about a caretaker who fell in love with her deceased customers. True story (Lorie & Layla is from this series too). Indie / pop.
Meet Johnny Bravo I was in a coverband called Johnny and the Bravo’s. In 2002 I wrote a few songs in the style of the cartoon series. They didn’t make it to the set list ;-). Rockabilly.
Secrets of seduction Johnny Bravo sharing his knowledge: as always cockey, arrogant, ignorant. He would probably be canceled now - like an early Andrew Tata. Lyrics by JosH, music by Suno.
Back on track About getting a love back after a dark period of time. Needs work on the lyrics - but here as a reminder to finish it :-). Pop/rock.
Let’s skip this Christmas Obvious Chrismas song. In two versions: 80’s pop with a female singer and the other with a 90’s boyband. Pop.
Pretty good... is what SUNO does to the songs. And every song is presented in two versions. Since AI costs a forest, I can’t throw them away...
In these alternate versions is much worth saving. For the first picks I first and foremost looked at the interpretation of the lyrics and variation in the chords. I would never write a four chord song - let alone a two chord song, as in the first song - but it works pretty well if the main melody and singing have enough varying depth and intensity.
Most songs are variations in the same style - except for song 8: Music can hit you hard is in R&B here (complete with an excessive ad-libbing singer ;-) .
B-side 7
Suno creates multiple versions. My first pick is above, here are ‘the B-sides’ of the same songs.
