ElevenLabs Launches Music V2: A Major Leap Forward for AI Music Generation
ElevenLabs has officially released Music V2, its next-generation AI music model, significantly raising the bar for quality, control, and creative flexibility in AI-generated music.
- Superior instrumentation and arrangements across every genre
- Much more natural and expressive vocals, including complex, rapid-fire rap and emotionally rich performances
- Seamless mid-track genre transitions — for example, smoothly moving from opera to heavy metal and back while maintaining musical coherence
- Strong multilingual support with lyrics and vocals that sound native in multiple languages
- Advanced inpainting — users can now select any section of a track (a verse, bridge, or specific instrument) and regenerate just that part without affecting the rest of the song
The model also supports audio reference matching, allowing creators to upload their own previous tracks or stems to guide new generations and maintain consistency in their sound. Note that using copyrighted or third-party audio references may trigger content filters or restrictions.
New Home for AI Music
- ElevenMusic — a full streaming and discovery platform where users can listen, remix, create, and publish tracks to build an audience.
- ElevenCreative — a marketplace for licensed, commercially safe music tailored for ads, branded content, video, games, and enterprise use.
API access to Music V2 is coming soon, with full support for generation, inpainting, audio references, and long-form composition.
Big Price Reductions
- ElevenCreative (self-serve): up to 40% cheaper
- ElevenAPI: up to **50% cheaper**
On the web interface, generating 1 minute of music with Music V2 costs 900 credits. Free users receive 10,000 credits per month, which is enough for roughly 11 minutes of high-quality music.
