Unyielding Pinky - Shadows (Digital Extended Play - La Chaussure de Clown)
In the realm of music, the EP Darkness by the duo Diana Jr. and Jackie Jr. has sparked intrigue and speculation, with some questioning whether it could be an AI-generated creation. However, a detailed review by Side-Line Magazine's veteran reviewer, who has been with the publication for over 30 years, suggests otherwise.
The EP, named after a poem by Lord Byron, showcases a clear willingness to experiment with harsh, unpolished elements. It is the second release from Diana Jr. and Jackie Jr., and features four brief tracks in an Electro-Pop style that leans into a menacing atmosphere, occasionally brushing up against Industrial textures.
What sets Darkness apart is the nuanced delivery of the vocals, particularly a spoken poem by Lord Byron. This human touch casts doubt on the idea that the EP is purely AI-generated. The singer's performance suggests experience and artistry, a quality that is hard to replicate by AI.
