Google's Lyria 3.5 music generation AI went live on July 29, 2026, and is free to try on Google Flow Music. The model can generate songs with vocals up to three minutes long and also accepts an image as input to guide the music. New users get 500 credits after logging in with a Google account.
In a hands-on test, a prompt for a cheerful summer song by a female idol group produced two tracks titled 'Zenryoku Hydration.' The audio download worked in M4A, MP3, or WAV formats, but the video download repeatedly failed. The generated song sounded close to a real idol group track, though some pronunciation was off.
