Lyria 3.5 is Google DeepMind's music model for full songs. Google introduced it in Flow Music on July 29, 2026, and it is also available in the Gemini app and through the Gemini API under the model id lyria-3.5. Google's pitch is songs that sound finished: more realistic vocals, better pronunciation, closer adherence to your lyrics and a clearer sense of song structure. On MagicShot it runs inside the Music Generator.
What Lyria 3.5 does
You write lyrics, describe the sound you want, and the model returns a track with vocals. Google's developer documentation describes Lyria 3.5 as optimized for full-length songs with verses, choruses and bridges, taking text and image inputs and returning MP3 audio with text lyrics at 44.1 kHz stereo. Google's launch notes also mention richer melodic structure and easier control of tempo and duration. These are Google's descriptions, so judge the results by listening.
How the MagicShot Music Generator works with it
When we checked on November 9, 2026, the Music Generator asked for your lyrics (required, up to 2,000 characters) and a sound description, with genre presets including Electronic/EDM, Synth-Pop, Hip-Hop/Rap, Country/Folk, Rock/Alternative, R&B/Soul and Pop Ballad. A length control ran from 30 seconds to 3 minutes in 30 second steps, with 60 seconds as the default.
What it costs on MagicShot
At the default settings, Lyria 3.5 showed 229 credits in the model list. The Magic Plus model showed 33, so Lyria 3.5 costs roughly seven times as much. That is the premium-model trade: you spend more credits for Google's full-song approach and vocals. We could not confirm whether the price changes with track length, so read the number shown in the tool before you generate.
Who should try it
It suits anyone who already has words: a poem, a birthday message, a chorus for a video, or a draft for a demo. If you only have a mood and no lyrics, you will need to write something first, because the MagicShot tool requires the lyrics field.
What we could not confirm
Google's pages we read do not state a maximum track length, the supported languages, or whether Lyria 3.5 audio carries SynthID. We have not verified the download format in MagicShot either. Test a short track before you commit credits to a full one.
