Metallica James Hetfield's AI voice recently covered a song by Seal, and fans could not help but feel awe while listening to it.
The invention of AI allows fans to do several things, including making a song cover using a musician's AI voice. The Metallica member became the most recent artist whose voice has been used to cover a song, and fans approved it.
Metallica James Hetfield's AI Covers a Seal Hit Song
On YouTube, a fan account named AI Playgrounds posted an AI cover of Hetfield singing Seal's "Kiss from a Rose," which was part of the latter's self-titled sophomore album in 1994. The same track was featured in the "Batman Forever" film as a soundtrack, pushing its popularity to peak even more.
The 4-minute and 48-second video, which now has nearly 20,000 views, earned praise from fans who found Hetfield's voice a perfect one for the song.
"This is beautiful! I love how seriously you take these!" one said. "I don't know what the process is but this is amazing! I'm serious, I hope you do James Hetfield singing every song out there!"
"haha, very good. I'll never get bored of these AI covers. Never thought I'd hear James singing Kiss from a rose," one wrote, while another added, "This is the cover I most often come back to to re-listen."
Previously, Hetfield's AI voice was also used to sing the Nickelback classic "How You Remind Me" through AI software. It followed the previously published remixes like Chester Bennington singing a Slipknot song and Kurt Cobain covering a track by Radiohead.
Metallica In-Demand in Music Industry
Prior to the creation of the AI song, Hetfield's band also received the spotlight after NASA chose Metallica's song to promote its ongoing Artemis lunar missions.
NASA selected Metallica's "Fuel" as the background track of its 46-second clip, saying the band and its Artemis missions have something in common: "Fuel" and fire.
"Fuel," which was written by Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, and Lars Ulrich, was part of the band's album, "Reload," in 1997. It scored multiple accolades since its release, including a nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1999.
