Have you ever looked at a sunset photo and wished you had the perfect, unique soundtrack to go with it? Or maybe you need a quick 30-second jingle for a social media post but don't have a bone of music theory in your body?

What is Lyria 3?
Lyria 3 is the most advanced music generation model from Google to date. Integrated directly into
What makes this version stand out from earlier AI experiments is its artistic coherence. It doesn’t just mash sounds together; it understands genre, tempo, and even generates its own lyrics.
Coolest Features to Try
Text-to-Track: Just describe the vibe. Whether it's "a 90s rap song about a lost sock" or "an upbeat Arabic fusion track for a dinner party," Gemini handles the melody and the lyrics.
Image-to-Music: This is the real game-changer. You can upload a photo—like your dog hiking or a rainy city street—and Gemini will "analyze" the visual mood to compose a matching soundtrack.
Precision Control: For those who want to get specific, you can adjust the vocals, tempo, and style to get the track exactly where you want it.
Nano Banana Integration: Every track comes with its own custom-generated album art, powered by the Nano Banana model, making it ready to share immediately.
Safety and Ethics
Google is being very intentional about copyright. Lyria 3 is designed for original expression, meaning it won't just mimic existing famous artists. Plus, every track comes embedded with SynthID, an invisible watermark that identifies the audio as AI-generated.
