New Music from Bengt Isaksson – My Westcoast Songs

With this release, Bengt returns to his musical roots. Drawing inspiration from the golden era of Westcoast – the smooth, soulful pop-rock sound made famous by artists like Toto, Pages, and Steely Dan – My Westcoast Songs is both a nostalgic journey and a bold experiment.

“The Westcoast genre has been with me for most of my life,” Bengt says. “It’s the music I grew up with and always come back to. This album is my way of honoring that legacy, while also exploring new creative tools.”

What makes My Westcoast Songs unique is its fusion of classic songwriting sensibilities with cutting-edge AI-generated production. Lyrics have been crafted in collaboration with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, while the music was brought to life using the AI music platform Suno. The result is a collection of songs that feel both familiar and fresh – rich in melody, harmony, and that unmistakable California vibe.

Whether you’re a long-time Westcoast aficionado or simply curious about the possibilities of AI in music creation, My Westcoast Songs offers a unique and soulful listening experience.
