IBM's Watson usually does big data boring stuff. We used it to help Grammy-winning producer Alex Da Kid write a hit song. To inspire Alex, Watson analyzed music to find insights in lyrics and tempo, and read a bunch of news and social media to find cultural themes likely to resonate with a wide audience. The result of the collaboration was "Not Easy", featuring X Ambassadors, Whiz Kalifa, and Elle King, which hit #6 on Billboard.
