Introduction:
Randy Travis’ “Where That Came From” is a remarkable testament to the power of human ingenuity and the enduring spirit of music. Released in 2024, the song marked a significant milestone for the country music legend, who had suffered a debilitating stroke in 2013. The song’s creation was a collaborative effort between Travis, his longtime producer Kyle Lehning, and a team of AI engineers.
The concept behind “Where That Came From” was to utilize AI technology to recreate Travis’s distinctive vocals, allowing him to continue making music despite his physical limitations. The process involved training an AI model on a vast amount of Travis’s previous recordings, enabling it to learn and replicate his unique vocal style. The AI-generated vocals were then combined with a previously recorded vocal track from Travis’s collaborator, James Dupré, to create the final version of the song.
