Gemini gets Lyria 3 in India, lets users create 30-second AI songs in Hindi and English: How to use it

Google has begun rolling out Lyria 3, its latest generative AI music model, inside Gemini. The beta feature is now live on the Gemini web app and will expand to mobile over the coming days. It allows users, including those in India, to generate 30-second music tracks in multiple languages, including Hindi. So, with Lyria 3 within Gemini, you get easy access to a feature for which previously one had to rely on third-party apps like Suno and Udio. Gemini should be able to attract people who want to use this short-form, social-ready music creation tool and stack up as a more feature-rich creative AI platform. Here are more details about who can access it and how to create songs with it.

Lyria 3: How it works and everything else you need to know

• Lyria 3 is developed by Google DeepMind and integrated into the Gemini app. As mentioned in the intro, it is currently available on gemini.google.com in India and other markets. The mobile app will gain support over the next few days.
• It can create music in languages like English, Hindi, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean and Portuguese at launch.
• Users aged 18 and above can access it. Both free and premium subscribers of Gemini can use it. Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers get higher usage limits.
• Lyria converts text or image prompts into 30-second tracks with vocals or instrumentals. Lyrics are auto-generated based on the prompt.
• Tracks also come with AI-generated cover art created by Nano Banana, making them easier to share via link or download.
• Yes, you get the option to download and share them easily.
• In some markets like the US, Lyria 3 also lets creators generate custom soundtracks for YouTube Shorts.
• All generated tracks are embedded with SynthID, Google’s invisible watermark for identifying AI-generated content. Gemini can also check uploaded files for this watermark.

The third generation of Lyria brings automatic lyric generation based on a prompt, lets you specify style, vocal types and tempo, and is said to be able to produce realistic and more complex tracks.

How to use Lyria 3 in the Gemini app

Step 1: Go to gemini.google.com and ensure you are logged in with your Google account.

Step 2: Enter a detailed prompt. Describe the genre, mood, language and theme. For example, ‘Create a Hindi indie pop track about monsoon evenings in Mumbai with soft female vocals.’ You can also remix with existing tracks on the Lyria 3 page within Gemini.

Step 3: Additionally, you can upload a photo. Gemini will analyse visual cues and generate lyrics and music aligned to the mood. This is optional, though.

Step 4: You can tweak creative elements like tempo, instruments or vocal style if you want. Say, the lyrics or the accent, intonation of the words in the lyrics sound off to you, you can give a prompt to refine it.

Step 5: Gemini produces a 30-second track with cover art. You can download or share via link.

For India, Hindi language support at launch is significant. It will be more useful if Indians get access to it within YouTube Shorts. A built-in music generator could appeal to independent creators who cannot afford studio production. This could reduce reliance on copyrighted songs, an ongoing challenge in short-form video. And it could lead to regional growth for YouTube.

Google says Lyria 3 is designed for original expression and not for imitating specific artists. If a user mentions a well-known artist, the system treats it as broad inspiration rather than replication. The company also uses filters to check outputs against existing content.
