Song Stories · artist-owned editorial
One story for every playable song.
Every record has a transparent AI-drafted liner note built from its public song record. Human-reviewed features are labeled separately—nothing is hidden while the editorial desk keeps improving the work.
The editorial desk
Three voices. One evidence standard.
Assignments remain stable. The desks use different voices, but every draft identifies its source limits and none may invent lyrics, biography, genre, plot, credits or praise.
