Beatles Release 'New' John Lennon Song 'Now and Then' Using AI Isolation of His Vocals

The Beatles released a "new" song "Now and Then" using AI to isolate John Lennon's vocals from old recordings.

The song was originally recorded by Lennon in the 1970s but not released. The surviving Beatles added new instrumentation.

This follows previous Beatles songs "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love" which also used Lennon's isolated vocals.

The technology raises questions about using AI to create new songs from deceased artists' recordings.

AI is being used in other ways in the music industry like pitch correction, background noise removal, and potentially synthetic voices.
