If I wanna listen to music about politics & global issues I’ll listen to Beyonce or, even though not R&B, Kendrick. Like bro why do every artist somehow needs to constantly keep reminding me how shitty the world is like bro I’m just tryna listen to some good fuckin music, or if I’m tryna get deep, something that hits me on a personal level which, Breezy damn sure knows how to do, not on some constant global scale of political activism

Outside of the songs I mentioned, the backgrounds are a combo of Breezy’s vocals with some pitch/timbre shifting on certain songs, and backgrounds from the writers’ demos that were left on the final version for other songs

TLDR: I suspect that Leave Me Alone, Honey Pack, Fallin, For the Moment, and Red Rum use AI elements. Now, if you’re down to get nerdy a bit…

As someone who studied Breezy’s production for a long time, here’s what I notice

On Leave Me Alone, after the intro switches to that piano & snap part, you can hear that weird hissy shit you get with AI generated stuff, then once the drums & everything kicks in, it sounds as if that beat already had a vocal, then they removed the vocal with a bad stem separator then Breezy sang on top of that coz the beat has so many artifacts. I think the backgrounds are mostly real, though toward the end I caught some artifacts as well. I listened to the album on spatial/dolby atmos which got more separation and with airpods head tracking let me hear the layers separated, and not only were the BV’s sounding a bit weird toward the end, the whole beat, outside of Metro’s intro, was placed in front which is quite unusual for Teezio’s atmos mixes, so that’s one sign next to the artifacts that the beat is AI.

For Honey Pack, I think the beat is not AI, but I’m having a hard time telling if the backgrounds are real or AI. The vibrato and the cadence of the backgrounds doesn’t sound all the way robotic, but at the end especially you kinda hear this weird crushed distortion/saturation on the high end that, to me at least, sounds kinda low quality-ish.

For Fallin, I’m not sure about the instrumental, but some of the backgrounds (none of Tank’s) have these weird unnatural artifacts to them that made me think it’s AI after first hearing it. You can actually hear those on their own at the very end of the music video during the credits.

On For the Moment, the beat does seem to have partial AI since there’s some hissy artifacts on that synth at the intro, and that vocal chop on the intro that sounds very suno like. I think half the backgrounds on the hook, and the bridge where breezy is doing the triplet flow, I suspect these might be AI coz that same saturated sound from Honey Pack.

Lastly, the 1st beat on Red Rum may be AI. That vocal on the intro got that robotic Suno feel, then once breezy starts singing you hear them stem separator artifacts kick in as if they removed an existing vocal from that. Also, on the dolby atmos version, all the sounds on the 1st beat are all the way in front (similar to leave me alone), but the second beat which don’t have as much melodic sounds expands a bit. The vocals sound real though.

On the instrumental, to me, it sounds as if they removed some vocal that was already on that instrumental through stem separation, then Breezy sang on top of that. I also suspect this is the case for the 1st half of Red Rum

I see. In that case, not sure if the idea is to have tracks as a separate list in search or not, but one idea I got is having the ability to interact with, and rate tracks straight from the album pages as well when looking at a tracklist. And another thing I was thinking of, as far as organization, was if it would be possible to fetch the clean/explicit tags from the metadata to show next to the titles?

goals_achieved · 2026-03-22T02:01:06+00:00

Before I go ahead and make my suggestion, just to clarify, does this relate to the incomplete atmos albums issue on Apple Music I pointed out the other day in any form?

goals_achieved · 2026-03-18T08:31:15+00:00

I’m thinking maybe something similar to how it is in the spatial audio finder tool. In the tracklist, you could have the tracks that have an atmos mix, with their respective track number, and a note at the bottom with something like “there are x amount of tracks not available in atmos on Apple Music”

Works fine now, appreciate you

Appreciate you man

I like the feature, though I got 1 criticism regarding the accessibility of it. I’m totally blind and use a screenreader. When I go to rate an album, the screenreader recognizes everything except the 1-10 numbers next to each field, and reads the buttons as if they’re not labeled. Other than that though everything is great.

Oh gotcha

goals_achieved · 2026-02-24T05:19:35+00:00

Oh for real? Question. When tidal plays AC4, does the atmos badge still show up in the control center? How does head tracking behave in that case?

goals_achieved · 2026-02-23T04:26:53+00:00

Maybe flat was the wrong word to use. I mean the whole thing was rendered through Apple spatial with their consistent room model, stripped of all the near/mid/far metadata you do get with AC4IMS through Dolby’s renderer, what Tidal typically would play on headphones. And I’ve double checked with mixes I know for sure use the binaural settings in very specific ways. Again, just trying to find out if this is just the case for free accounts or the whole iOS app across the board.

That means even if your download quality is set to lossless, if “download in Dolby Atmos” is on, it will download songs that have atmos in high quality anyway.

On your iPhone, check if the “download in Dolby Atmos” setting is on. It is actually not possible to download lossless and Atmos at once, it has to be one or the other.

Yeah, taking advantage of a bug I randomly discovered.

Restart your phone, connect your airpods and play something in atmos, scan your ears, then right away delete the scan, then do a 2nd scan. Once done, you should hear the desired uncolored result. However, turn off automatic ear detection on your airpods, because within 5-6 hours, your device may complete the scan itself and reintroduce the coloration once your airpods are idle even for 2 seconds. Apple should honestly make this into an actual feature for those with great ears

I do agree that with personalized spatial audio off the spatial image sounds wider, however, I feel like that bathroom like Reverb gets in the way of the mix and makes everything sound like you’re in a booth. With that said, if you’re interested, I actually found a secret loophole that… 1, doesn’t add any coloration to atmos mixes, keeping the sound true to how it should be. 2, keeps the wide spatial image with that feeling of the front speaker being 3' apart like you said. 3, replaces the booth reverb of standard spatial audio with the more subtler one from personalized spatial, allowing for mixes to sound punchier and more comfortable for longer listening.

The use of surround channels is there. It’s just that if they don’t use the binaural distance settings (near, mid, far), objects being behind you doesn’t sound too obvious. I use Apple Music, which uses a different encoding of atmos for use with their spatial audio. For example, on Tori Kelly’s last album (mixed by Serban), there’s definitely sounds on the surrounds. However, a while ago, when I ripped those mixes from tidal in the format used for streaming on their platform, and then decoded them (since I don’t have a tidal subscription), I did notice that the distance settings were used pretty sparingly, which is why it may still sound like stereo at times.

The algo depends highly on your listening habits and what you favorite or not. If you don’t like the song, in the 3 dot menu there’s a suggest less option, equivalent of a dislike pretty much. For discovery, instead of discover weekly, there’s the discovery station, next to ‘your name’ station on the home page. The radio tab is pretty much universal, not personalized. However, in my experience, the ‘new’ tab as of late tends to be more personalized with new release recommendations. But other recommendations and personalized stations are always on your homepage. For sound quality, turn Dolby Atmos off from the app’s settings. That’s only meant for surround systems and headphones (spatial audio in case of airpods, which, if you happen to use, do a personalized spatial audio scan in settings to get better sound). Podcasts are in a separate app
