Lyria 3 is a free AI music generator, officially said to be powered by the Google Music Model, with its core model from Google DeepMind, called Lyria 3. It is aimed at a broad audience ranging from ordinary users to professional creators, and its main focus is turning text or lyrics into complete songs without any musical experience.
Main capabilities Text-to-music: Enter text describing a mood, genre, or instrument, such as "upbeat pop with acoustic guitar," and Lyria 3 will generate a complete track including vocals and instrumentation. Lyrics-to-music: Enter lyrics or poetry you have written yourself, choose a musical style, and the AI will sing and compose music using the lyrics you provide. AI cover generation: It can change vocal timbre, change gender, or reinterpret a song while preserving the original melody. Music extension and stems: It supports extending existing tracks and can separate stems for use in mixing. Export and sharing: It supports downloading in MP3 or WAV format, and the Pro version can also export WAV and stems; the platform has a built-in community where you can publish works and browse others' creations.
