ElevenLabs Unveils Music V2: A New Era For AI-Driven Music Composition

ElevenLabs introduced Music V2, an updated version of its AI music-generation model designed to support more advanced genre transitions, song structure editing and multilingual audio generation. The release expands the company’s capabilities in AI-generated music production as competition intensifies across the broader generative audio market.

Advanced Genre-Switching Capabilities

According to ElevenLabs, Music V2 can transition between multiple music genres within a single track, including combinations involving opera, heavy metal and rap. Music V2 also supports both vocal and instrumental composition while allowing users to incorporate sound effects and more complex audio arrangements. The updated model replaces the company’s earlier music-generation system, launched approximately 10 months ago.

Enhanced Composition And Customization

Users can create longer-form compositions by generating separate sections, including intros, verses and choruses. Individual parts of a track can also be regenerated through text prompts without modifying the entire composition. ElevenLabs said the model includes improvements involving multilingual generation, vocal flexibility and more detailed arrangement control.

Driving Innovation In The AI Music Landscape

The launch comes as major technology companies continue expanding their presence in AI-generated music and audio tools. Companies including Google, Stability AI and Suno have also introduced systems capable of producing longer and more complex music tracks. Recent developments across the sector have included AI-generated cover songs, section-based editing tools and music video generation features.

Commercial Licensing And Strategic Partnerships

ElevenLabs said Music V2 was trained using licensed data and is approved for commercial use. The company positioned licensing agreements as an important component of its strategy, as legal disputes surrounding copyright and training data continue affecting parts of the AI music industry. Music V2 is currently available through the company’s ElevenCreative platform, while additional music production tools are expected to be integrated into ElevenMusic and the upcoming ElevenAPI service.

Cyprus Expects More French Visitors In 2027 As Air Capacity Expands

by THEFUTURE.TEAM

September 18, 2026

Cyprus expects more French visitors in 2027 as airlines increase capacity between the two countries, Tourism Deputy Minister Kostas Koumis said after meetings with tour operators in Paris.

France, one of Cyprus’ key tourism markets, has had a difficult 2026. French arrivals fell 46% year over year to 8,453 in August, from 15,663 a year earlier, according to the Statistical Service of Cyprus (Cystat). August arrivals were also nearly 50% below the 16,798 recorded in the same month of 2024.

Overall, Cyprus received 2.82 million tourist arrivals between January and August, down 7% from the same period in 2025.

Air Connectivity Supports 2027 Outlook

Koumis discussed the 2027 outlook with senior executives from tour operators offering Cyprus holidays during the IFTM Top Resa travel trade fair in Paris.

Higher air capacity between France and Cyprus was a key focus of the talks. Participants also discussed the impact of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East on the French market and Cyprus’ efforts to adapt its tourism offering to French travelers.

“The French market is undoubtedly an extremely important market for our country’s tourism,” Koumis said, adding that France had regained importance only a few years ago and still had room to grow.

Improved air connectivity will be an important factor in that expansion, according to Koumis. “It is now clear that air connectivity between France and Cyprus is improving significantly, which is a basic prerequisite for the further growth of the market,” he said.

Cyprus Promotes Tourism And Regional Cooperation

Koumis attended the opening of IFTM Top Resa at the invitation of French Tourism Minister Serge Papin, who later visited the Cyprus stand. Held from Sept. 15 to 17 at Paris Porte de Versailles, the event brought together more than 32,000 tourism professionals representing 177 destinations and 1,650 brands, according to organizers.

During his visit, Koumis also met Egyptian Tourism Minister Sherif Fathy. Cyprus and Egypt reaffirmed their tourism cooperation and discussed opportunities to strengthen ties further.

French media interviews covered Cyprus’ tourism offering, infrastructure and services, along with efforts to develop specialized tourism products. Regional instability weighed on arrivals in 2026, particularly during the spring, although the decline narrowed over the summer.
