Finding the perfect, royalty-free soundtrack for your business videos or social media content used to mean hours of scrolling through generic stock libraries or paying hefty licensing fees. This friction often slows down production and dilutes your brand’s unique voice.
At Cloud Sultans, our mission is to help small and large businesses to better collaborate and achieve high productivity with their teams by maximizing the power of Google Workspace (formerly GSuite).
Google has just unveiled a massive update to Gemini with Lyria 3, a sophisticated AI music model designed to turn simple text prompts into high-quality, 30-second music tracks. This isn’t just a gimmick; it’s a professional-grade tool that handles everything from melody and vocals to cover art and watermarking. For businesses looking to scale their content output, understanding how to leverage Cloud Sultans and Google’s AI ecosystem is becoming a competitive necessity.
Generating Music from Text Prompts
The core feature of Lyria 3 is its ability to generate full musical compositions based on a text description. You can specify the genre, mood, tempo, and even the theme of the lyrics. For example, asking for a “nostalgic Afrobeat about childhood memories” results in a track that captures that specific emotional resonance. This allows for hyper-niche content creation that perfectly aligns with your marketing goals without needing a recording studio.

Matching Audio to Visual Media
One of the most innovative features is the ability to upload a photo or video to guide the music generation. Lyria 3 analyzes the visual content—like a sunny beach or a moody urban sunset—and automatically crafts a track that matches the aesthetic. This “multimodal” approach ensures that your audio and video are perfectly synced in tone, saving hours of manual searching in stock libraries.

Advanced Creative Controls for Professionals
Unlike simpler AI generators, Lyria 3 offers deep customization controls over the final output. Users can adjust the style, the type of vocals, the BPM (tempo), and the overall mood after the initial generation. This level of precision means you aren’t just stuck with the first result; you can iterate until the track fits your brand’s specific sonic identity.
Automated Lyrics and Vocal Performance
When you enable the vocal feature, Lyria 3 doesn’t just hum a tune; it writes and performs original lyrics based on your prompt. While it may not replace a professional songwriter for a chart-topping hit, it provides an incredible starting point for jingles, social media ads, and branded content. It’s a powerful way to add a human touch to automated content workflows.

Ensuring Transparency with SynthID Watermarking
To address the ethical and legal concerns of AI-generated content, Google has integrated SynthID into every track. This is an imperceptible watermark that identifies the audio as AI-generated at a signal level humans cannot hear. This transparency is crucial for businesses that want to remain compliant with evolving AI regulations while maintaining a professional reputation.
Instant Cover Art Generation
Every time you generate a track, Lyria 3 also produces matching cover art. This is particularly useful for podcasters or creators who need a visual thumbnail for their audio files on platforms like Spotify or YouTube. It streamlines the design process, ensuring that your audio content is “package-ready” the moment it is created.
Copyright-Safe Audio Production
A major pain point in digital marketing is copyright strikes. Lyria 3 is built to be copyright-safe, meaning it does not mimic specific artists in a way that violates intellectual property laws. The outputs are original, giving businesses the peace of mind to use these tracks across all commercial platforms without fear of legal repercussions.
Building Brand Identity with Custom Soundscapes
Consistent audio branding is a secret weapon for growth on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. By using Lyria 3 to create a signature “brand sound” or a recurring jingle, you can increase your content’s recognizability. In an era of automation, having a unique, AI-generated sonic logo helps your business stand out in a crowded digital landscape.
