Mureka AI

Can you describe a song in words? If yes, Mureka can build that song in a few minutes.

That’s the core proposition. You bring the idea, even if it’s vague, and Mureka AI composes, arranges, records, and mixes it.

Mureka is developed by Skywork AI, a Singapore-based AI research company. The consumer product launched in 2024 and has since grown to nearly 10 million users across 190+ countries.

The platform’s latest release is V8, launched January 28, 2026 and nicknamed the “Supermodel” update, delivering professional-level sound quality that Mureka describes as truly “publishable.”

Earlier in its iteration cycle, V7.5 launched in July 2025, and the platform unveiled a Music Agent Studio in October 2025.

Let’s break down what the platform actually does.

Key Features

1. Core Technology: MusiCoT

Most AI music tools work like a simple prompt-to-audio pipeline, you ask, they generate.

Mureka goes deeper with its proprietary MusiCoT (Music Chain-of-Thought) technology.

Rather than generating a song as one undifferentiated output, MusiCoT breaks the creation process into logical steps: it first thinks through the musical structure (intro, verse, chorus, bridge, outro), then develops the arrangement, then layers in vocals and instrumentation with coherence across the full track.

The result is songs that feel complete and intentional rather than repetitive or structurally weak.

The latest models (V8 and earlier V-series iterations) build on this with improved transformer architecture.

2. Music Generation Modes

Mureka gives you multiple ways to kick off a song, which matters more than it sounds. Different inputs unlock different creative directions.

Text-to-Song is the most common starting point. Describe the mood, genre, instrumentation, and tempo in plain language. The more specific you are, the better the output. That said, even vague prompts produce listenable results.

Lyrics-to-Song lets you write your own words and have Mureka set them to music.

You paste in your lyrics – verse, chorus, bridge – and the AI composes a melody, arrangement, and vocal performance around them.

This is the mode that songwriters find most compelling, because you’re contributing the creative core while the AI handles the production.

Melody-to-Song lets you hum, sing, or record a melodic idea and upload it as the seed.

Mureka builds the full arrangement around your melody.

You don’t have to be a trained musician. Literally singing into your phone’s microphone is enough input for the AI to build something structured around your idea.

Reference Track Upload (Pro plan) lets you upload an existing song as a style reference. Mureka analyzes the vibe, energy, and production style of the reference and generates something in the same spirit without copying it.

Useful when you know exactly what aesthetic you’re going for but want a clean, original, rights-clear version.

3. Voice and Vocal Features

Mureka’s vocal system is one of its stronger differentiators from cheaper AI music tools.

You can choose from pre-built AI vocalists organized by gender, vocal tone, and character. The library covers a range of styles useful for different genres and moods.

Voice cloning (Premier plan) takes it further. Record a short clip of your own voice, and Mureka builds a vocal model from it. Your Digital Twin voice can then sing any lyrics you generate through the platform.

The practical use case: artists who want their own voice on their tracks without recording every take. Mureka’s terms require that you use only your own voice or voices you have rights to – no cloning famous artists.

4. AI Text-to-Speech

Mureka isn’t just a music generator.

The platform includes a dedicated AI speech tool that converts written text into natural-sounding spoken audio, completely separate from the music vocals system.

The Pro plan includes professional TTS, and Mureka has benchmarked it against ElevenLabs, OpenAI, and Microsoft, claiming superior performance on pronunciation accuracy and voice naturalness.

You can choose from a curated library of premium AI voices suited for different use cases.

It means Mureka covers two production needs in one subscription. Need a custom background track for your video? Use the music generator. Need a voiceover for the same video? Use the TTS tool. You’re not bouncing between separate platforms or paying twice.

5. Stem Exports and DAW Integration

Stem separation lets you download individual audio tracks as separate files. You import these into your DAW (Ableton, Logic Pro, FL Studio, etc.) and use them as the foundation for your own production work.

The AI handles the composition and initial recording; you handle the final mix, effects, and arrangement decisions.

For producers who use AI as a starting point rather than a finished product, this is the workflow that actually works. Generate a track that captures the right energy, pull the stems, rebuild it with your own sound design on top.

6. Music Agent Studio

Launched in October 2025, Music Agent Studio is Mureka’s newest and most ambitious workflow feature.

Instead of the standard prompt-and-generate interface, Agent Studio lets you build a track conversationally – directing the AI through a back-and-forth process where you refine structure, adjust sections, and iterate on specific parts without regenerating the whole song.

This kind of granular, section-level control is a significant step forward for anyone producing serious music rather than quick background tracks.

You can only use this on a paid plan though.
