Appreciate your response, thank you.
I had a look at what you provided. The "ai song generator" websites and these models aren't able to genre transfer with the exceptional quality of the linked youtube channel. These have incredibly good alignment to the original songs, but the genre totally transformed. For example, the Nirvana one on that channel. Song structure is entirely preserved, as well as melodic and harmonic content. But the genre is transformed to 80s synth pop. It's the same for any recent upload to that channel.
