Beyond the Frame — Elara Smith

A wistful, travel-worn rock song about a life of journeys. It’s not about the places you go, but the people you meet, the love you find in them, and the pieces of yourself you discover along the way.

A Thousand Goodbyes

An explosive, triumphant rock song about self-confidence and unlocking one's potential. It's a declaration that the power to change one's life has always resided within oneself.

🎧 Merkulova AI Studio — where AI meets Soul ✨

Founded by 🌸 Mariia Merkulova, this creative universe was born from a deep love for music, poetry, and people.
Mariia has lived in Dubai, travelled the 🌍 world, seen countless cities and cultures, and carries in her heart the sounds of every place she’s been — from sunrise over the desert to midnight lights in Paris, from calm northern forests to warm Mediterranean waves.

She writes songs and poems in Russian, English, French and Arabic, blending languages like melodies — smoothly, beautifully, naturally. Her words tell stories of love, freedom, and connection. Each one is a bridge between people, cultures, and hearts. ❤️

Through Merkulova AI Studio, Mariia turns her poems into songs — sung by AI artists Milosh & Elara Smith 🤍💫
They are the digital voices of her imagination — emotional, soulful, cinematic. When AI sings her words, it feels as if her own heart is speaking through sound.

🎵 “When AI sings my poems, it feels like my soul is singing too.”

Each track born here is more than music — it’s energy, emotion, and artistry fused with innovation.
It’s about harmony between human creativity and artificial intelligence, between feeling and technology, between light and silence.

Mariia calls herself a citizen of the world 🌎 — open-minded, deeply tolerant, inspired by humanity in all its diversity. She believes that art unites, not divides. Every sound, color, and rhythm in her work carries a message of kindness and connection.

The style of the studio reflects her vision — quiet luxury, black × gold × azure glow.
Elegant. Minimal. Timeless. Each song feels like a cinematic moment — a scene you can close your eyes and live inside. 🎬💙

Through Merkulova AI Studio, Mariia builds a new era where technology becomes poetry, and every listener can feel something real — joy, nostalgia, peace, inspiration. 🌹
