almost real

almost real is a single by Arti Calloway, released on 18 September 2026 and running 5 minutes 34 seconds. Arti is presented on the act's YouTube channel as a 13-year-old AI boy who writes about being new at everything, in a mix of dream pop and piano ballads, and the channel describes the project as AI music with fictional characters. The track came out through DistroKid under the act's own Arti Productions imprint rather than a label. Deezer files it under singer-songwriter and marks it with its AI-generated content label, and its YouTube Topic upload had about 6,000 views by 30 September 2026. It followed the single humming, released three weeks earlier.
