Genius Lyrics Toolkit

[AntonioFerreras]

Checked

• I searched existing ideas and did not find a similar one
• I added a very descriptive title
• I've clearly described the feature request and motivation for it

Feature request

This new tool will:

• Retrieve accurate info on a particular artist, an album, or a song (ie. Katy Perry, …, …)
• Search songs based on a prompt or themes or genre (ie. give me a song about sunflowers and sunlight)
• Search song by specific lyrics (ie. Drake song)
• See what artists have said about their own songs, to get insight into what went into the creation of a particular song
• See and participate in discussions of the lyrics of a song on the Genius website

Motivation

Genius's lyrics data can improve sentiment and emotion analysis models. By analyzing the emotions behind lyrics, LangChain applications can gain insights into the feelings expressed in music, enabling better user engagement and recommendations to provide more meaningful responses related to music and lyrics, including explaining song meanings, interpreting artist intent, or answering questions about a song’s background.

Currently, Langchain doesn’t have any tools that allow agents to access the specific meanings, discussions, and insights found on platforms like Genius. While language models can analyze lyrics on their own to some extent, they don’t have direct access to the detailed interpretations and conversations about songs available on Genius. These discussions often provide valuable insights from fans, experts, and even the artists themselves.

By integrating the Genius API, agents will be able to get real-time, accurate information about songs, artists, albums, and lyrics. This makes it easier to understand songs beyond just the words, as it allows users to explore deeper meanings, see what artists have said about their own work, and engage in lyric discussions. Instead of relying only on the LLM’s knowledge, this tool brings in the latest context from Genius, making it more interactive and insightful for users.

Note: there exists a discussion on a Spotify integration, however, it is geared toward song recommendations and audio analysis. This tool is focused on current lyrical analysis by listeners and artists.

Proposal (If applicable)

We will be making use of the lyricsgenius python package, which provides functionality in python to use the Genius API.
