Lady Gaga's Hold My Hand, one of the theme songs from the movie Top Gun Maverick. The song would have been great but it was ruined instantly because the first ten seconds of that song had one of the worst intro hooks I've ever heard in music. The production of the voice, reverb and autotuning were unnecessary. Tell what you think.

Maybe their only song of this century, The Beatles' Now and Then is their very last track single in their discography using the AI of John Lennon's singing voice. Tell what you think.

Johnny Cash's Hurt is a cover based on the 90s original by Nine Inch Nails. It's his last hurrah before his untimely passing a year later. Tell what you think.

Last but not least is the last great hurrah by the Queen of Soul herself, Aretha Franklin's Rolling in the Deep. Although a cover released in 2014, this song sounds much better than Adele's original version due to added electronic instruments rather than going full acoustic pop and it also included a round variation of Ain't No Mountain High Enough. Tell what you think.
