In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses the controversy surrounding Timbaland’s newly launched AI record label, Stage Zero, and the debut of AI artist TaTa. The video explores how AI-generated music—dubbed "A-Pop"—is rapidly evolving and what that means for traditional artistry, creativity, and ownership. From public backlash and critique to comparisons with animated acts like Gorillaz, Miss Krystle unpacks the heated debates around authenticity, ethics, and innovation in the age of artificial music.

Also discussed the growing divide between pro-AI and anti-AI camps, the legal gray areas of AI training, and why major labels are suing companies like Suno and Udio. As AI continues to blur the line between human and machine-made content, raising the important questions: Is music becoming just a product? Can AI truly replicate human emotion? And what does all of this mean for independent artists navigating a tech-driven future?
