Generated using AI (artificial intelligence), a cover version of the hit "Gray Night" (1995) by the band "Tender May" topped the world's top track recognition service Shazam. This is evidenced by the data of the top Shazam Global Top 200.

The track is called Silver Night and is stylized to the performance of the scandalous American rapper and producer Kanye West (Ye). The creators of the track took a real video recording from the concert on April 3, and the generated voice, supported by fans, performed a slow version of the song "Gray Night" in English. The effect turned out to be as if Ye himself sang a cover of "Grey Night" with the powerful support of 80 thousand spectators of his concert, while the rapper is standing on the moon.

The real author of the video is a user with the nickname August Septemberov.

"At first glance, it seems that the creation of using AI is done at the touch of a button, but that's not really the case. It is necessary to rework a huge number of unsuccessful results, make adjustments and improvements. This is done at the translation stage, at the cover stage and at the video stage. We hope it worked out," said the author of the viral video in a comment to the Podmoskovye Segodnya portal.

As EADaily reported, in April last year, the Bashkir group Ay Yola with its composition Homay took fifth place in the world top Shazam.

Prior to that, the song "Pyala" by the Russian electronic hip-hop duo "Aigel", which is the title track of the TV series "The Word of a Kid. Blood on the asphalt."
