Artist Profile: Mercy Motel
Artist Introduction:
Mercy Motel An AI-Fronted Band with a Human Heart
Hollowtone Records is proud to introduce Mercy Motel, Mercy is an artist of rupture and revival. Her music fuses raw rock energy with emotionally charged storytelling, creating anthems for those clawing their way out of silence. With haunting vocals and lyrics that cut with precision, she explores the messy terrain of toxic love, gaslit memories, and the long road to reclaiming your voice.
Mercy Motel is not just a band. It’s a story told through sound, voiced by Mercy, a younger version of the songwriter imagined through AI.
Every lyric, every melody begins with emotion. crafted by hand, shaped by experience. The music is then brought to life using AI tools that we trained and tuned to reflect the sound she hears in her soul.
This isn’t automation. It’s creation. Each song takes weeks to build, refine, and master. The process is intricate, demanding, and deeply personal.
Mercy’s voice is AI. But the pain, the joy, the truth — that’s all human.
We believe in transparency at Hollowtone Records, because openness matters. Mercy Motel is not here to pretend. They are here to connect.
This is what AI music can be when it’s made with care, honesty, and heart.
Welcome to Mercy Motel.
Her debut album Finally Free is a cathartic descent into heartbreak and a slow, searing rise into selfhood. Each track is a mirror shard: glittering, jagged, honest. From whispered grief to rage-drenched choruses, Mercy doesn’t flinch. She writes for the ones who’ve been called “too much,” for the ones still pulling threads of themselves out from someone else’s grip.
Blending alt-rock, emo, and cinematic grit, Mercy’s sound is as unfiltered as her truth. She isn’t here to be palatable, she’s here to be heard.

Musical Style
Mercy’s music is a voice for the unheard moments, the second-guessing, the silent screams, the fight to reclaim yourself.
She writes for anyone who’s ever felt like a prop in someone else’s story, torn between the illusion of love and the reality of control. Every song is built from truth: the ache of toxic patterns, the pull of emotional manipulation, and the messy, brave journey back to her own voice.
Drawing from rock, alt-pop, and raw lyrical storytelling, my sound isn’t about perfection—it’s about power in vulnerability. Whether she is writing about the dizzying highs of denial or the quiet wreckage of letting go, She aims to make music that cracks open the armour and reminds you you’re not alone.
MERCY’s songs don’t just tell stories. They excavate them.
