Before I start raving about the hilarity of all this, please note that YouTube tags this music as being created at least in part through artificial means. Relatable Grooves apparently is domiciled in Belgium, and the descriptions on YouTube of these tunes is completely fictional, claiming the 10 tunes here are rare unreleased Motown classics by nonexistent singers. There's no other information available about this 2024 offering, which doesn't surprise me; Spotify is full of "artists" without any biographical information. Anyway, whatever AI they used to create this album must have gorged itself on the entire Motown oeuvre, because these are convincing ripoffs. And the lyrics are hilarious; all songs are credited to one Ben Geudens, who has a LinkedIn profile that states he's from Belgium but no photo, bio or posts, and a fairly active X account that retweets posts in the original Dutch and discusses AI at a professional level, but shares characteristics with fake accounts. But AI or not, you're going to get some laughs out of songs like "Merry Cringemas, Baby," "You're Too Fat (To Dress Up As Santa)," "Can't Afford No Damn Presents," "Fightin' Around the Christmas Tree," "Let's Talk Politics at Christmas Dinner," "Put My Eggnog In Yo' Mouth," "This Christmas Turkey Sucks," "Kissed Grandma On the Mouth (Tastes Like Raisins)," "Fuck These Christmas Lights," and "I Didn't Wanna Be a Christmas Singer." Explicit tags on all per iTunes. Downloads and streaming in all the usual places; Ben or whoever the creator is might want to invest in a vinyl pressing for this.
