Turn a song into a ready-to-hang poster, by using Musixmatch and AI

This n8n workflow turns a song title and artist name into a gallery-ready poster by combining Musixmatch lyric intelligence with a tightly controlled AI art direction pipeline.

At its core, Musixmatch is used to identify the correct song and retrieve official lyrics, which then drive a highly curated image-generation prompt and final poster artwork.

What this workflow does

1. Trigger via chat

   • The workflow starts when a chat message is received.
   • The user provides a song title and artist name.

2. Identify the correct track with Musixmatch

   • The Musixmatch “Match track by metadata” node is used to:
     • Resolve ambiguities in song titles
     • Confirm the correct track
     • Retrieve a stable commontrack_id
   • This ensures all downstream steps reference the correct song.

3. Retrieve full lyrics from Musixmatch

   • Using the confirmed commontrack_id, the Musixmatch lyrics endpoint fetches the official song lyrics.
   • Lyrics are treated as authoritative source material for creative interpretation.

4. AI Agent selects and interprets a lyric

   • A dedicated AI Agent:
     • Selects one single-line lyric (strictly enforced constraints)
     • Analyzes its emotional and thematic meaning
     • Interprets mood, tension, and implied narrative
   • The lyric becomes the conceptual anchor of the poster.

5. AI Agent constructs a high-fidelity image prompt

   • The agent outputs a fully structured, production-ready image-generation prompt including:
     • Song metadata (reference only)
     • Emotional interpretation
     • Visual style choice
     • Composition and layout rules
     • Typography and legibility constraints
     • Quality and design guardrails
   • No drafts, explanations, or partial output are allowed.

6. Generate the final poster image

   • The completed prompt is passed directly to the image generation node.
   • The result is a high-resolution, A4 portrait poster designed to feel intentional, modern, and gallery-ready.

Output

• A single poster image (1024×1536, A4 portrait ratio)
• Features:
  • One carefully chosen lyric line
  • Clean, modern typography
  • High-end contemporary poster design
  • Subtle film grain
  • Fully legible text and metadata
