UK band Slave Labour push AI tech to the limits to revive the voice that could have been their big break
break.
(Isstories Editorial):- Uckfield, East Sussex May 2, 2025 (Issuewire.com) – After over three decades of making music without the inconvenience of commercial success, cult UK band Slave Labour are back with a revolutionary twist–an AI-generated vocalist. Their latest track, ‘On A Train’, releasing on 2nd May 2025, features their new ‘singer’ Mollie Maid, a completely AI-generated voice modelled on a former much-loved vocalist they worked with in the early 1990s.

While Slave Labour have never been ones to follow trends (which may explain their impressive lack of fame), this latest move positions them at the forefront of AI-driven music production. The band spent two years refining the AI model to accurately replicate the vocals of their former demo singer, who, instead of pursuing pop stardom, went on to form a successful career in travel and tourism. With her blessing, Slave Labour have finally brought her voice back into the mix–just 30 years later than originally planned.
“We’ve always believed her voice was the missing piece to our breakout success,” says band member Syd. “So naturally, the logical step was to use cutting-edge artificial intelligence to resurrect it decades later. What could possibly go wrong?”
Produced by Slave Labour with AI programming from Jezz Wright for True Blockhouse, On A Train marks a bold new chapter for the band. Despite genre-hopping over the years–from electronic indie to trip-hop, punk, and electro-punk–Slave Labour have always remained true to their pop sensibilities. Now, with AI in the mix, they’re hoping to bridge the generational gap and engage younger audiences who are growing up in an era of AI- generated creativity.
“Look, we’ve never been good at self-promotion,” admits Luke. “But this time, we’re expecting nothing less than the
first AI-fronted band to reach number one–possibly in Estonia.” Life-long band members Syd, Gos, Luke, and Thommo are already back in the studio working on their fourth, as-yet-untitled album, which they optimistically expect to release before the next millennium. Meanwhile, ‘On A Train’ by Slave Labour featuring Mollie Maid is out on 2nd May 2025 on Spotify, Amazon, Apple Music, and wherever else you get your tunes.
