Tips
Using a random genre well
Turn a roll into a real idea.
Mix a genre with an unexpected topic — sea shanty about coffee.
Keep the genre's tempo; change the mood.
Try the same topic in two genres and compare.
Blend two: 'country trap', 'jazz lo-fi'.
Use the song idea generator page to roll mood, topic and voice too.
