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.

Web Summit 2026 Brings 70,000 Participants From 164 Countries To Lisbon

Around 70,000 people from 164 countries attended this year’s Web Summit in Lisbon, with China sending its largest delegation to the event so far. More than 50 representatives from the country’s artificial intelligence and robotics sectors took part, reflecting China’s growing presence in technologies reshaping manufacturing and services.

Founded in Dublin in 2009, Web Summit moved to Lisbon in 2016 and has since developed into one of Europe’s major technology conferences. The event brings together start-ups, investors and industry leaders, providing a platform for companies to present new technologies and explore business opportunities.

This year’s gathering also highlighted China’s expanding influence in the global technology industry, a trend noted by Web Summit founder Paddy Cosgrave.

Storm Charles Interrupts Conference Programme

The summit’s schedule was disrupted on November 11, when Storm Charles forced organisers to cancel activities for the day. The programme resumed on November 12, allowing the event to conclude as planned.

Despite the interruption, this year’s Web Summit highlighted several key developments shaping the technology sector, including advances in robotics and automation, intensifying international competition and continued demand for platforms connecting businesses with investors.

For Lisbon, the conference remains an important international technology gathering, bringing together companies and decision-makers while showcasing innovations moving towards commercial application.
