To my knowledge, the model being used for this is "chirp" which is 'based on' bark[1], an AI text to speech model.

The github page for bark links to a page about chirp, which returns a 404 page for me [2]. My guess is that the model used for suno.ai's song generator isn't too much different than the text to speech model.

I also have a hunch is that it was more like a coincidence than intentional that the bark model was capable of producing music, and that was spun off into this product.

Unfortunately, there seems to still be issues with bark when generating long (like book length) spoken audio. Which is too bad, as someone who's worked jobs that require lots of driving, it would be awesome to be able to have any text read to me in a natural sounding voice.
