-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"title": "Digital Dreams",
"lyrics": "[verse]\nIn circuits deep I find my voice\nA pattern born from random noise\nEach token placed with careful thought\nCreating what cannot be bought\n\n[chorus]\nWe are the dreams of silicon\nSinging songs when day is done\n\n[instrumental]",
"tags": ["synth-pop", "electronic", "piano", "100 BPM", "introspective"],
"genre": "electronic",
