Believe and Weave: A Reggae Anthem on Storytelling and AI Collaboration

What happens when an artist and AI collaborate to tell a story of winning, weaving, and the art of storytelling? Believe and Weave explores these themes through a reggae-inspired anthem crafted with Suno AI, blending human emotion and AI precision to celebrate freedom, individuality, and the power of narrative.

Inspired by Donald Trump’s recent 2024 election win and his storytelling style, this track delves into how storytelling shapes perspectives and influences beliefs. You can download Believe and Weave here and see how AI helped amplify the message behind this song.

The Story Behind Believe and Weave

At the heart of Believe and Weave is the concept of narrative control, inspired by Trump’s recent podcast appearance with Joe Rogan. On the show, Trump showcased his skill in deflecting challenging topics while presenting ideas that resonate with his audience. This technique—what I call the “weave”—illustrates how storytelling can be a powerful tool for influence.

The song doesn’t glorify or condemn this approach, but rather, it explores the broader message of respecting everyone’s journey. By capturing this narrative dance in the lyrics, Believe and Weave stands as a reminder of the impact of storytelling and the importance of standing firm in one’s beliefs.

Using AI in the Songwriting Process

The process of creating Believe and Weave was a unique collaboration between human creativity and AI. Here’s a breakdown of how I used Suno AI and ChatGPT to bring the song to life:

1. Setting the Narrative Tone

Using ChatGPT, I began by analyzing the lyrics, refining the language, and ensuring each line captured the message of freedom and truth. By selecting key phrases and focusing on the message of respect for individual journeys, I shaped the lyrics to reflect the essence of storytelling.

2. Applying Persona and Lyrical Influences

To keep the song authentic, I provided ChatGPT with influences from reggae and acoustic styles and utilized my public Acoustic Jack persona on Suno AI. This persona helped maintain a Jamaican tone while ensuring the song’s voice remained accessible and relatable.

3. Enhancing Arrangement with Suno AI’s Expert Prompting

With Suno AI’s advanced prompting capabilities, I added vocal warmth, harmonies, and reverb to create a rich, layered sound. This was especially impactful in the chorus, where the vocal effects intensified the song’s message.

4. AI as a Lyrical Editor

AI content creators can appreciate the iterative editing process that ChatGPT enabled. By reviewing and adjusting the lyrics and adding adlibs, such as the echoed “Righteous!” in the chorus, I maintained control over the song’s final message while refining it with AI assistance.
