Hotel Minibar Playlist Performer

Hotel Minibar Playlist Performer started as an experiment. Would I be able to create the usual "piano lounge bar" music with AI-music generators? The answer is YES. The song was created in a matter of an afternoon with suno.com. On Spotify, a small marketing campaign yielded around 7000 streams in four months. After the marketing campaign ran out, the song disappeared behind in the nebula of thousands and thousands of new issues of similar music each week.

To make this kind of music stick, you have to secure the placement of your track on a specialized playlist that already has hundreds of thousands of followers. Mostly, these playlists are curated by Spotify itself.

But now Spotify goes even further. They launched a "Perfect Fit Content" program. As of now, songs created under this umbrella are mostly bought from contracted musicians and composers. They create the songs to the specific sound of the playlists. Spotify owns the copyrights, and off they go. In my estimate, they will basically switch to AI generation very soon. An AI music generator like suno.com can compose and record this kind of material on autopilot.

For me, the real fun was to come up with a cover art that says it all. The "in the Minibar" pianist did a fantastic job. I received more acclaim for the image than for the music.

And now it even comes with a video! Enjoy.
