AI recreates Beatles songs from solo works by McCartney and Lennon

YouTube user Dae Lims used artificial intelligence to create two new Beatles songs by reworking solo tracks by Paul McCartney and John Lennon. McCartney's "New" (2013) and Lennon's "Grow Old With Me" (1980, posthumously released on "Milk and Honey") were transformed to sound like authentic Beatles recordings. The AI version of "New" adds vocal harmonies, rejuvenates McCartney's voice, and inserts melodies reminiscent of Lennon's harmonies on songs like "Please Please Me" and "Let It Be." "Grow Old With Me" was given a distinctly Beatles-era sound, as if composed during the band's heyday. The experiment has sparked debate on AI's role in music, with artists like Drake and The Weeknd opposing unauthorized use of their voices for such mashups.
