This song came up and I saved it. The AI generated album art was offputting, but I don’t know many people who are putting out this style of music currently, so I went looking for more.

All the covers are AI generated and all of their music is from 2024-2025. I can’t find anything about them online despite their bio saying:
The Smoothies formed in 1973, blending Detroit’s raw soul and Memphis’s bluesy influences. Their unique sound quickly resonated with the vibrant 70s music scene. Throughout the 70s and 80s, The Smoothies recorded prolifically with a small indie label, creating cult classics. Despite not achieving mainstream fame, they amassed a dedicated following. Decades later, they teamed up with producer Paul Martini to restore and remaster their extensive back catalog. This collaboration reintroduced their timeless sound to both old fans and new listeners.
Lately, The Smoothies embraced the motto: “You’ll never know” and so they decided to jump into the music market…“Better late than never.”.
Is it a bot that is stealing real music? Or is the music itself fake? The song sounded slightly off, but I could chalk that up as an intentional artistic choice.
Consider other streaming services than Spotify, like Deezer or Tidal or Qobuz, that pays the artist better and don’t do deceiving garbage like this.
