The company said that the model is designed to handle both complexity in vocals and composition. The new release comes nearly 10 months after the startup <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/08\/05\/elevenlabs-launches-an-ai-music-generator-which-it-claims-is-cleared-for-commercial-use\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">launched the first version of its music-generation model<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ElevenLabs noted that the model can go from opera to heavy metal and back, deliver fast rap without losing coherence, and add non-musical sound effects to a track. With the new model, artists can pick a part of a song and re-create it using prompts without touching other parts of the track.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, instead of generating short clips, artists can build a song by sections, including the intro, verse, and chorus, then stitch them together. ElevenLabs added that the model performs more reliably across languages, lyrics, vocals, and arrangements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the last few months, AI labs have been racing to release models that can generate professional-grade music. <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/03\/25\/google-launches-lyria-3-pro-music-generation-model\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Google<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/05\/20\/stability-ai-release-a-new-audio-model-that-can-create-six-minute-songs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Stability AI<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/suno.com\/blog\/v5-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Suno<\/a> have also released new music-generation models with capabilities to generate longer and more complex tracks. At the Google I\/O developer conference, Google added the ability to easily create covers, edit songs by sections, and generate music videos <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/innovation-and-ai\/models-and-research\/google-labs\/flow-updates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">using its Flow Music<\/a> tool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ElevenLabs emphasized that the new model is built on licensed data and cleared for commercial use, so users can freely use the tracks. <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/05\/26\/universal-music-group-and-tiktok-renew-agreement-to-combat-unauthorized-ai-music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Striking<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.spotify.com\/2026-05-21\/universal-music-group-spotify-licensing-agreements-fan-made-covers-remixes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">deals<\/a> with labels is key, given that other AI music startups, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicbusinessworldwide.com\/umg-and-sony-seek-to-add-61000-copyrighted-works-to-suno-lawsuit-after-discovery-reveals-suno-trained-on-millions-of-their-recordings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Suno<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicbusinessworldwide.com\/sony-music-moves-to-add-more-than-30000-copyrighted-recordings-to-its-lawsuit-against-udio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Udio<\/a>, faced court cases over copyright issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new model is available on ElevenLabs\u2019 ElevenCreative tool for marketing and branding teams, along with its newly launched <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/04\/02\/elevenlabs-releases-a-new-ai-powered-music-generation-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ElevenMusic platform for creating AI-generated songs<\/a>, with availability on ElevenAPI coming soon.<\/p>\n<p>When you purchase through links in our articles, <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/techcrunch-affiliate-monetization-standards\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">we may earn a small commission<\/a>.
