AI Goes Country

People

The No. 1 song on the Billboard Country Digital Song Sales chart for the week of Nov. 8, 2025 is “Walk My Walk” by Breaking Rust, a seemingly gritty track featuring a raspy vocal performance of lyrics from the perspective of a “rough” and “raw” man who “ain’t selling my soul for a seat at your table.”

Breaking Rust, however, is not a real person at all. “Walk My Walk” is a song created using artificial intelligence by someone named Aubierre Rivaldo Taylor, according to credits listed on Spotify. More

  1. Musical Notes 5 – A through G
    Sharp & Flat
    Some are EXACTLY the same tone: A sharp = B Flat

    MOST SONGS are written by COMITY; A writer, lyricist, Possible some SINGER input, with some residuals going to other artists where (sounds enough like ______’s song) so we give them a bit of a cut $$$ to keep the wheels moving.

    TRAVIS SWIFT’s WIFE, Cough,Cough, Cough … Ahem.

    But, Can AI get caught Driving a Pickup Truck Buck Naked through the backwoods Randy Travis Style?

  2. It isn’t awful but it isn’t country. Obviously a black male voice approximation. Merely an observation not a put down. Perfectly fine but not a sound/tone/style/timbre associated with country. Perhaps it’s a tip of the hat to Chris Stapleton and his appropriation of a singing style associated with black/soul/gospel singers. Anyway, after listening for a minute or so I couldn’t help but hear Eric Cartman singing: “Day is never over, Massa got me workin’, someday Massa set me free.”
    It’s a caricature of a style/genre. Doesn’t mean it’s totally awful and unlistenable, it’s just not genuine but then, little is these days.

    Naked AI will be the new Breaking Rust with “Pimp My Proc”
    BTW, who knows if AI didn’t put its own song at the top of the list too?
