From Text to Track: Instant Song Creation for Everyone
ElevenLabs is stepping into the spotlight with Eleven Music, a new AI tool that can make songs from just a text prompt. This tool is not for amateurs only—it can create professional, high-quality tracks in minutes. You type what you want (like “soft piano ballad” or “energetic pop song with vocals”), and the AI builds a custom song to match.
Copyright Peace of Mind: Deals with Industry Heavyweights
What makes Eleven Music different? The company says it has worked out legal deals from the start. Its partnerships with Merlin and Kobalt, two big names in digital music rights, mean ElevenLabs can offer music that is cleared for commercial use. That’s a big deal. Other AI music companies have faced legal trouble because they trained their models on copyrighted songs without permission. ElevenLabs says it’s avoiding that.
Behind the Beat: Flexible, Multi-Lingual Music Generation
The tool is simple to use. You write a short description, pick a few options, and the tool creates an entire track based on your input. You can swap out parts like the chorus or change instruments to make it fit your needs. The AI can generate music and vocals in different languages, like English, Spanish, Japanese, and more. An API is coming soon, so developers will be able to add this music tool to their own apps and services.
Who Stands to Benefit: Creators, Campaigns, and Content Makers
Eleven Music has many uses. Creators can make music for ads, podcasts, games, and online videos, even for big brands. Most paid plans give you full commercial rights, but some basic plans may have limits. ElevenLabs says it wants to build trust with musicians and give fair compensation by working with rights holders from day one.
Will Audiences Jam to AI-Generated Tunes?
For anyone who needs music—but doesn’t have a band or a studio—this could be the next big thing. Now the big question is: Will people want to hear songs written by AI, not humans?
