Written as a nostalgic ballad (comme d'hab!), paying homage to the golden era of Hollywood and classic films. Hopefully it evokes the glamour and grace of movie stars from the black-and-white film era; a bygone time when cinema was a magical escape to old Hollywood, iconic scenes and actors who were synonymous with the silver screen. Ya know. Cinema and shit. Now spicingly topped of with a bit of AI Fred!

In Hollywood (Freddie Mercury)

Taking a groovy spin with some other AI vocal models on an old disco show tune I wrote - this time Beyoncé and Jay Kay from Jamiroquai (with a couple of guest appearances thrown in for good measure).

I Will Dance (Beyoncé & Jay Kay)

A Woman Like You, as sung by A.I. Matt Bellamy from Muse. One of the first songs I wrote and one of my favourites. #aimusic #aivocals #aivoice #aivoices #lovesong #lovesongs #easylistening #easylisteningmusic #MattBellamy #Muse #RockMusic #Rock #Anthem #AIinMusic #VirtualVocals #Ballads #MusicInnovation #RetroModern #DigitalArtists #ArtificialIntelligence

A Woman Like You (Matt Bellamy)

i've been looking for a girl like you
i've been searching for a girl like you
suffocate me won't you take me to your room
six months later say i'm not enough for you

life's a crazy ride, but i'm chillin'
lost in the rhythm, time keeps spillin
love's in the air, can you feel the heat?
heart on my sleeve
that's my beat, that's my beat
blood on the leaves
plant those seeds, plant those seeds

in the silence i find my peace
in the city where no one sleeps
life's a puzzle and i need my piece
echoes reap on moonlight's streets
i can never fall asleep
lost inside this melody

my style's got her inna trance
take me where the shadows dance
grab my hand, just take a chance
i can be your only man
she want all my rubber bands
i'm not a fan

i've been looking for a girl like you
i've been searching for a girl like you
suffocate me won't you take me to your room
six months later say i'm not enough for you

lost in the music, caught in a trance
i told little baby let our love advance
i need a good girl and some loving friends
living in this cruel world, the story never ends
but you're my partner, you're my queen
through the thick and thinest scenes
i can't go back now, no please

i got plans for overseas
we'll get there eventually
or maybe not, nothing's guaranteed
i'm really not who i'm meant to be
nothing's really as it really seems
i really need what's best for me i really need to invest in me
i simply need to find the rest of me

i've been looking for a girl like you
i've been searching for a girl like you
suffocate me won't you take me to your room
six months later say i'm not enough for you

I made this track using inspiration from old-school Industrial and Industrial Metal from the late 90s and early 2000s. The idea was to incorporate elements of that style with modern bass heaviness and mastering as well as several other modern sensibilities. To envision what 90s Industrial Metal might sound like if that style was invented today instead of back then. I took a lot of inspiration from the Quake 2 soundtrack more than anything else though. I then also took the liberty to see what more I could do with that sound by incorporating influence from 90s hip-hop for the beat structure in the latter 3rd section of the song which actually just so happens to now be one of my favorite things I've ever done with music. Making this song taught me that my favorite genres actually CAN be combined in the way I've always wanted them to be.

"Old Soul" waltzes through time with a mischievous wink and a vintage hat tip. This jazzy piano-driven track tells the tale of a young heart beating to an antique rhythm – like grandfather clocks in a smartphone world. Taking a playful bow to Yael Naim's "New Soul," but spinning the concept on its head, the song captures that delightful disconnect of feeling like you've borrowed memories from another era. With vocals channeling Michael Bublé's smooth sophistication and a bouncing piano line that could've escaped from a 1920s speakeasy, "Old Soul" invites you to slow dance between centuries. For anyone who's ever felt like they were born in the wrong era, found more charm in vinyl than playlists, or just loves the timeless art of storytelling through song. So dust off your bowler hat, wind up the phonograph, and let's get delightfully old-fashioned together!

Xak Stahl: Alchemist of Sound, Architect of Emotion

Xak Stahl is a genre-blurring music artist, sonic storyteller, and relentless experimenter. Every track he creates is a new world—a kaleidoscope of indie folk, alt-pop, electronica, and global flavors—infused with raw emotion and boundless curiosity. Xak’s music isn’t just heard; it’s felt.

From Shadow to Spotlight

For Xak, music is metamorphosis. His journey began in the shadows, transmuting heartbreak and struggle into songs that glow with hope. Early anthems like “Neon Dreams” and “Rising Through the Darkness” invite listeners to find their own light. His newest project, Major Arcana, channels the mysteries of the Tarot—each song an archetype, each lyric a step along the path from the Fool’s first leap to the wisdom of The World.

More Than Music: A Multisensory Universe

But Xak isn’t confined to sound. As a visual artist and writer, he crafts immersive stories that spill across genres and languages—sometimes haunting, sometimes playful, always honest. Whether he’s conjuring lush soundscapes, weaving bilingual lyrics, or creating striking visuals, Xak’s art dares you to feel deeper and dream wilder.

An Invitation to Transformation

Join Xak Stahl on a sonic odyssey that blurs borders—between genres, between artforms, between you and the music. Each release is an invitation to explore, to heal, to become. For Xak, every song is a spell, every album a universe. The only question is: are you ready to step inside?

My two favorite genres, including all the subgenres under their umbrellas, have always been Industrial and HipHop. I just want to create music that honors my love for them and share it with the world before I die. I also love poetry and philosophy so I figured, "why not fuse everything I love together?"

I’m a songwriter first and last - not a performer. My focus is on the craft of the song itself, which is why my music has such a wide range. I don’t have one sound; I write for other voices and a vast variety of genres.

You won't find my face on a stage or my voice on a mic. My tracks aren't about building my own brand; they’re about creating a mood or a story that comes fully to life through the right singer.
