The arrival of “RAYmiverse” feels less like the release of a single and more like the unveiling of a new dimension. RAYmi by the Pool, the sunglass-wearing AI cat lounging at the digital poolside, has already turned heads with his viral TikTok dances and surreal visuals, but this track marks his boldest step yet: the creation of an entire metaverse stitched together by sound, story, and satire. Unlike most AI experiments in music, which lean toward either sterile perfection or gimmicky novelty, RAYmi thrives in the in-between. His world is equal parts funk jam and internet fever dream, a place where groove-driven musicianship collides with AI’s unpredictable imagination. With “RAYmiverse,” he gives us a song and drops the key to a playground where music, memes, and cat-fueled chaos become indistinguishable.
Musically, “RAYmiverse” is a genre-bending firework. The track bursts open with live-band energy: crisp drum patterns that slap like the best funk recordings, horn stabs that swagger with attitude, and guitar licks dripping with groove. Just when you think you’ve landed in a vintage funk record, RAYmi pulls the rug with AI-only touches: whistle–meow motifs, glitchy drops, basslines that purr and rumble, and an entire choir of meows layered into a cosmic chant. The result is a track that feels organic and otherworldly. It has the warmth of human performance but keeps slipping sideways into surreal, AI-only moments—reminding you that you’re not just listening to music but stepping into a constructed universe where cats really can sing in harmony.
Thematically, the track functions as an origin story. “RAYmiverse” is not just the beginning of a musical narrative but the foundation of an entire evolving world. Every groove, every glitch, every feline flourish points outward toward something larger: the promise of weekly singles that expand this universe, from the apocalyptic funk of Clawmageddon to the playful meme-pop of Don’t Be Grumpy. The concept recalls how comics or video games build out expansive worlds, but here it’s done through sound. With this track, RAYmi is announcing his existence and laying down the sonic architecture for a universe where absurdity and authenticity coexist. It’s music as worldbuilding, and it works because the song itself is strong enough to carry the weight of that ambition.
What makes “RAYmiverse” so compelling is its balance between humor and craft. It’s easy to laugh at the absurdity of an AI cat dropping funk-driven anthems, but the production is tight, the hooks undeniable, and the sound design surprisingly innovative. RAYmi’s brilliance lies in taking the internet’s short attention span and flipping it into an advantage: the memes draw you in, but the music keeps you there. The AI elements don’t replace musicianship, but extend it, giving rise to textures and arrangements that would be impossible for a traditional band. In that sense, “RAYmiverse” becomes more than a novelty. It’s a statement about what happens when creativity embraces play, when the serious craft of music-making leans unapologetically into silliness without losing its soul.
Ultimately, “RAYmiverse” is a manifesto disguised as a party track. It declares that the future of music might not lie in chasing perfect AI simulations of humans but in embracing the weird, the whimsical, and the wildly imaginative spaces AI can open. RAYmi by the Pool is proof that music doesn’t need to be either/or—either human or machine, either art or meme. It can be all of it at once, a swirling cocktail of funk, glitch, and cat-powered surrealism. With “RAYmiverse,” the world’s first AI cat artist crashes the internet and builds a new one, complete with groove, humor, and infinite possibility. The only real question left is simple: are you ready to live inside the RAYmiverse?
