Tencent Music Entertainment Group-owned Kugou Music has developed Al singing technology called KUGOU AlK, which is claimed to be the world's first multi-lingual Al singing technology.
According to Tencent Music Entertainment Group, users only need to sing a cappella for 60 seconds, and then AlK can completely "imitate" the user's vocal characteristics to "sing".
This technology enables users to "perform a variety of challenging songs", according to the companies, which claim that "everyone can become a professional singer with Al".
Currently, through KUGOU AlK, users can sing songs in 15 Chinese dialects and 10 languages,including English, Japanese, Korean and more.
Tencent Music Entertainment Group added: 'Since the release of their album Wild Dreams in 2021, Westlife have continued to deepen their connection with China and Tencent Music Entertainment Group.
'In 2022, Westlife took their love for their Chinese fans to new heights by deeply participating in Tencent Music Entertainment Group's annual non-profit programme lf Music Has a Shape, demonstrating their love for their Chinese fans through the campaign.
'This ongoing mutual dedication is why we have chosen Westlife as the first international artist to collaborate with to release Al music.
'We hope to use Al technology to bring Westlife a bit closer to their fans in China.
'This aligns perfectly with Tencent Music Entertainment Group's corporate mission of creating endless possibilities with music and technology.
