Your lyrics become the song’s shape
Mark sections with tags like [Verse] and [Chorus] and the arrangement follows them: verses sit back, choruses lift, the bridge breathes before the final chorus. Leave the lyrics empty and Sonvela writes them from your description.
Streetlights hum a song I almost know
Every window holds a light I used to own
So take me where the city never sleeps
I’ll be the voice that carries through the streets
Paper tickets, coffee in the rain
I wrote your name on every passing train
So take me where the city never sleeps
And if the morning finds me here alone
Bar height shows how full the arrangement gets. Choruses lift; the bridge pulls back before the last one.
What you can make
Songs with vocals
Pop, hip hop, R&B, rock, country and more, sung from your lyrics or from lyrics written for you. Pick a female, male or duet voice.
Instrumentals
Background beds, trailer cues, game loops and study beats. Flip the Instrumental switch and the vocals are left out.
Intros, stings and jingles
Short pieces timed to the second for podcasts, ads and brand moments, with a clear ending on the last beat.
Start from a genre
Each genre page explains the tempo, instruments and structure that define the style, with prompts written for it.
Or start from where it will play
Music for a podcast intro has a different job from music for a workout. Use-case pages cover length, loudness and licensing for each.
