Songify is storming up the App Store charts. Why? Because it’s a dead-simple instant songifier, that’s why.
All you do is speak into your iPhone, and Songify turns your words into a song in about four seconds flat. You can email your song, share it on Facebook and Twitter, and generally have a laugh. The app is free, and comes with three simple backing tracks – if you want more tracks, you pay for them in bundles for a dollar a time.
But. Is it actually any good? Can you download Songify and take on Springsteen? I decided to find out.
I recorded three songs. In order, then:
Track 1: This is a review of Songify
Track 2: Do all Songify songs sound the same?
Track 3: It’s not exactly Radiohead (but what did you expect?) (remix)
I’ve just signed a deal with one of the major labels. The album will be out before Christmas and we’ll be touring every major city in the world, with U2 as support. Can’t wait.
