Google’s new music AI here to steal more jobs; you can drop an album with a few clicks

Expanding on last month’s Lyria 3 release, Google is now giving us Lyra 3 Pro, a pro-grade version of the Lyra 3 music generation AI, which can make a full songs (or even an album) from scratch. Lyra 3 Pro seems to bring a massive leap in how you’re able to “build” a new song. Users can now generate tracks up to three minutes long with control over different components of the track.

The new Lyria 3 Pro understands the difference between an intro, a verse, a chorus, and a bridge, allowing you to make more complex transitions that previously required a human touch (from a composer, songwriter, or music producer).

As mentioned, the key upgrade here is that unlike Lyria 3, which is limited to 30-second music ideas, Lyria 3 Pro enables full 3-minute compositions. To put this into perspective, three minutes is long enough to be the new Eurovision Song Contest winner.

Artists and music producers might protest Lyra 3 Pro, but corporations might love it

Lyria 3 Pro significantly reduces the required creative input, and while Google frames this as a tool for "creative expression," it might be a dream scenario for corporate clients.

By integrating Lyria 3 Pro into Vertex AI and Google Vids, organizations can now generate original soundtracks for marketing and gaming - potentially bypassing the need to pay artists to make jingles or background tracks.

Lyra 3 Pro is rolling out across the Google ecosystem:

• Gemini App: Available for Pro and Ultra subscribers to create vlogs and podcasts.
• ProducerAI: A collaborative agentic tool for songwriters.
• Vertex AI: Public preview for enterprise-scale production.

To address copyright concerns, Google says Lyria 3 Pro is trained on licensed data and includes SynthID watermarking. While it avoids mimicking specific artists, its efficiency in producing high-fidelity audio may redefine the value of "stock" music forever.

It’s worth noting that while the rise of AI-generated audio feels like an overnight sensation, professional Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) like FL Studio have been using AI for things like stem separation and chord progressions for a few years now. For artists, Google’s new Lyra 3 Pro music generator marks a huge shift from "helper" to "architect".

Just hours ago, OpenAI decided to shut down Sora, its AI video generation tool. Could Lyra 3 Pro have a similar faith? It remains to be seen.
