Dear Robert,

In a study a few years ago, we used an AI algo (https://www.lalal.ai/) to separate vocals and instrumentals from commercial pop songs. Not 100% at the time but the model has improved over the years.

Brown, J. A. & Bidelman, G. M. (2022). Song properties and familiarity affect speech recognition in musical noise. Psychomusicology: Music, Mind, and Brain, 32(1-2), 1-6.

Dear colleagues

We are looking for audio recordings of rap or hip-hop music that contain only the vocalizations, without any instrumental background. Does anybody know of such a database?

Alternatively, any databases of a capella singing in general would also be useful, if you can recommend any.

Thank you for your help and best wishes

Robert
