According to the official blog, Lyria 3.5's improvements focus on four areas: musicality, lyrics, vocals, and creative control. In terms of musicality, the model can create "richer, more complex melodic structures" and outputs sound "more natural." Lyrics generation quality has improved, showing "better prompt adherence and structural awareness." For vocals, the model delivers "more realistic, emotionally nuanced" singing, with improved pronunciation. In creative control, users can now "more easily control the speed and duration of outputs."
These descriptions are all qualitative, without any verifiable benchmarks or user study data. For example, there is no explanation of how "more natural" is defined, nor any metrics for evaluating lyrics quality.
