We’re launching Lyria 3.5 in Google Flow Music, with advances across musicality, lyrics, vocals, and creative control
July 29, 2026
Google today announced the launch of Lyria 3.5, its newest music generation model. The model is now rolling out in Google Flow Music, delivering meaningful improvements designed to help users create songs they genuinely love.
The update focuses on four core areas: musicality, lyrics, vocals, and creative control. These advancements aim to produce richer tracks while giving creators more precise tools to shape their music.
Improved Musicality
Lyria 3.5 introduces significantly improved musicality. Users can now generate richer and more complex melodic structures that sound far more natural than previous versions.
This enhancement allows for better flow, more sophisticated melodic development, and overall musical coherence. The generated music feels less artificial and more emotionally engaging, providing a stronger foundation for complete tracks.
Enhanced Lyrics
Lyrics generation has been notably upgraded. The model now produces higher quality lyrics with substantially improved prompt adherence and stronger structural awareness.
When given creative direction, Lyria 3.5 better understands user intent and generates lyrics that align more closely with requested themes, styles, and emotional tones. It also demonstrates improved understanding of song structure, including verses, choruses, and narrative flow, reducing the need for extensive manual editing.
Improved Vocals
Vocal quality sees some of the most noticeable gains. Lyria 3.5 can bring more expression and emotion to songs, delivering realistic and emotionally nuanced vocal performances.
The vocals sound more human-like, with better dynamic expression and significantly improved pronunciation. These changes help generated songs connect with listeners on a deeper level and feel more authentic and professional.
Greater Creative Control
The new model also enhances creative control. Users can now more easily adjust the tempo and duration of their generated outputs.
This improvement provides greater flexibility in shaping tracks to fit specific artistic visions or practical requirements, whether creating full songs or shorter pieces. The simplified controls make the creative process more intuitive and efficient.
Available Today
Lyria 3.5 is available immediately in Google Flow Music. Google hopes these combined advances in musicality, lyrics, vocals, and control will empower a new generation of creators to produce high-quality music with greater ease and artistic satisfaction.
Users are invited to try the updated model today and explore the creative possibilities it unlocks.
