With the Beatles competing against today\u2019s top artists like Kendrick Lamar and Billie Eilish, this nomination speaks to the timeless appeal of their music, as well as the growing role of AI in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The journey of <em>\u201cNow and Then\u201d<\/em> began when Paul McCartney revisited a 1978 John Lennon demo. Inspired by Peter Jackson\u2019s acclaimed documentary series <em>The Beatles: Get Back<\/em>, McCartney employed AI-powered audio restoration software similar to what was used to remix the Beatles\u2019 Revolver. The AI system helped isolate and improve the quality of Lennon\u2019s vocals from old, low-fidelity demo tapes. This groundbreaking technology functions in a similar way to noise-reduction software, which is often used in video calls on platforms like Zoom or Discord. By applying these principles to music, McCartney was able to separate and elevate Lennon\u2019s voice, adding new contributions from both himself and Ringo Starr to produce what he calls \u201cthe last Beatles record.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Beatles - Now And Then (Official Music Video)\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Opxhh9Oh3rg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While <em>\u201cNow and Then\u201d<\/em> has fewer streams than some of its Grammy competitors (78 million streams), the fact that it has achieved such recognition highlights the enduring influence of the Beatles.
