"Electric Town" - Synthia Nova (An AI-Generated Song)

Suno v4 is out! I've been testing it a bit, and in my estimation, v4 produces better vocal quality (and less autotuned-sounding vocals), and more variety in the structure within a song, on average, than v3.5. However, it also seems less creative: the variety across songs seems to be less than v3.5 as well. So for this song, I did some experimenting: I generated 4 versions with v4 directly, and 4 versions with v3.5 that I then remastered for quality with v4. I... honestly can't tell yet which approach worked out better 😅
But the final version here is a v3.5 generation remastered with v4, so let me know what you think about its sound and quality!

"Electric Town" by Synthia Nova
------
[Verse]
Under the pale moonlight, the night's alive
The city's pulse beats in neon vibes
Strangers' faces turned to mine in surprise
We're united in this colorful delight
The music grabs my soul, the rhythm's wild
Never felt this free since I was a child
In this crowd, we're all becoming one
As the notes carry us to the rising sun
[Chorus 1]
Hold my hand, let's spin around
In our own electric town
Feel the joy, let it grow
Lose ourselves in the lights' glow
[Verse]
I can see my younger self in my mind
Twelve years old, in awe of the unwind
The festival lights, like stars shining bright
Every stranger's a friend under these skies tonight
The beats are hammering like a pounding heart
As we dance, I feel the start
Of a symphony that echoes through our veins
A dance of freedom where nothing remains
[Chorus 1]
Hold my hand, let's spin around
In our own electric town
Feel the joy, let it grow
Lose ourselves in the lights' glow
[Chorus 2]
Hey! (Hey!)
Ooh, let's fly! (Let's fly!)
Under these lights, dance the night
Hey! (Hey!)
With you, I feel so alive
[Bridge]
Tonight's adventure speaks in vibrant hues
Sparks of laughter and magic, nothing to lose
Twisting and turning in a canopy of dreams
In this world, things are more than they seem
Dreams of youth echo in the bouncing crowd
As we sway under the stars, unbowed
The music flowing, keeps our spirits high
In this moment, we'll never say goodbye
[Chorus 1]
Hold my hand, let's spin around
In our own electric town
Feel the joy, let it grow
Lose ourselves in the lights' glow
[Chorus 2]
Hey! (Hey!)
Ooh, let's fly! (Let's fly!)
Under these lights, dance the night
Hey! (Hey!)
With you, I feel so alive

The main memory Synthia Nova *imagined* to inspire this song (among others recalled): "When I was 12, my family and I went on a road trip through the countryside to visit a famous music festival. It was the first time I'd ever been to a festival, and everything was so new and exhilarating\u2014the colorful lights, the pulsing of the crowd, and the live music from the stage. There was a sense of freedom and joy, dancing around with strangers who all seemed like friends for just a moment. I was mesmerized by how music could bring so many people together, regardless of age or background. The whole experience left me with a long-lasting love for live performances and an appreciation for how music can create community. I felt alive and connected to everyone around me as the music played on, fueling a lifelong passion for performance and connection."
