I feel like there's too much effect/filter on Lana's voice, which is probably why some people said it sounds like AI. 

Regardless, it's a cute song.

What in the mass psychosis is going on with all these people saying she sounds AI generatedddddd 😫😫

[fishtails 13,794]

I like this version so much better lol it really should have been like this from the start 

[summer bummer 1,936]

The choruses of Lana sound great but idk about the verses yet… still so happy we got this version tho

what are you guys on? It doesn't sound AI generated

[Elias943 401]

The mixing on this one is really bad.

Sounds kinda messy. It’s giving Blue Banisters. There’s so much hissing.

 

Listening to Yes To Heaven and then this. Yes To Heaven is so much cleaner and better produced.

now I know y'all fuckin lying lmao when the only reason people are saying ai generated is because there's 50% less reverb on her vocals here than the average lana track 

 

say what you want about Taylor Swift Jack Antonoff and Laura Sisk but messy production is truly not the brand when it comes to their wheelhouse lmao just saying stuff to say stuff at this point

I think it sounds great and it's refreshing to finally hear Lana fully in this. 

I don't think her voice is Ai generated. It sounds as if it was prooly recorded, heavily compressed and processed to better the quality.

The instrumental sounds a bit less ethereal with the piano added but I can deal with that. I guess they wanted to make it sound more a Lana track.

The processed vocals plus the fact that the Lana version has been existing as an AI generated song for weeks or months.

it's actually the opposite - it's a clear vocal that sounds like it was recorded in an iso booth (whereas Lana prefers to record in a room) and there's a lot less reverb than she usually treats her vocals with (clear, forward, dry vocal that highlights the melody more than tone = "ai") - listen to DRY Lana vocal stems and the way her vocals got mixed in this version will sound very familiar

same story different day whether it's UV conspiracy theory or opinions on Lana vocals LB sees one (hateful) comment and runs with it tomorrow it'll be something new like always

My favorite part is Lana’s humming. I’m a slut for that 

[Whitemustang 462]

I really don’t do well with Taylor’s music in general. I find her lyrics really basic and Snow on the beach feels no different. Except that it sounds a bit like a LDR wannabe song. And Lana’s on it. Which is cute. But I don’t think it’s very good.y

People not being used to actual studio recordings from Lana anymore (since LFL) and saying it sounds AI generated  

[summer bummer 1,936]

I think that in some parts Lana’s singing in a different register to the song so it sounds a little odd,

 

i feel kinda bad for taylor because people demanded more lana but i do have to say i wish both her and lana’s voices were on the last chorus together, lana’s sounds a little weird on its own

 

still sm better than the og tho

exactly this but also LFL was the album she was recording in an open room in Rick's studio with a sheet of a paper for that muffled effect though lmao

 

iirc the only track she got in the actual iso booth for was BPBP but that doesn't really matter since Lana drenches every vocal and instrument track in reverb for that *chef's kiss* retro lush feel

[Stoned Mary in the Garden 6,786]

I cringe at the line “weird but fucking beautiful” like I genuinely HATE that 

i just can’t get into this song but it does have a really sweet melody 

[sadness is a butterfly 5,795]

Absolutely over the moon with this. SOTB went from bottom tier to top tier on Midnights for me. 
 

And to everyone who says Lana’s vocals were annoyingly unclear on OB, I’ll agree now because when she’s recorded clearly like she was on this, she sounds next level AMAZING.

Maybe they should add more reverb to Lana’s vocals. They also seem to reduced the reverb on Taylor’s voice as well it seems esp at the beginning. It sounds rougher compared to the original recording. Idk it just sounds messy. There are a lot of sharp hissing sounds to my ears.
 

Also the “Like Snow” at the end sounds so phoned in from Lana . Anyway, Yes To Heaven just sounds so much nicer vocally.
