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.

Meta Bets On AI To Strengthen Facebook’s Appeal Among Creators

Meta is expanding its use of artificial intelligence to strengthen Facebook’s appeal among creators, unveiling plans to transform Creator Studio into a standalone AI-powered companion app designed to simplify content management and audience growth.

An AI Assistant Built Around Creator Workflows

Announced on Wednesday, the new app is currently being tested with a select group of creators and incorporates Facebook’s recently launched AI creator assistant. According to Meta, the tool provides personalised recommendations based on a creator’s content, audience engagement, performance metrics and growth objectives.

Rather than navigating multiple dashboards and analytics reports, creators will be able to ask questions directly in a conversational format. Queries such as when to post, how content is performing or what audiences are discussing in the comments can be answered through the assistant, with follow-up prompts offering deeper insights into engagement trends.

From Analytics To Action

Beyond reporting performance data, the platform is designed to help creators act on those insights. A new AI-powered comment management tool will identify priority interactions and suggest responses tailored to the creator’s tone and style. Suggested replies can be reviewed and edited before publication, allowing creators to maintain control over their communication while reducing the time spent managing engagement.

Daily recommendations will also be integrated into the app, highlighting key tasks such as reviewing recent content performance, tracking progress toward audience goals and responding to important comments. The aim is to turn Creator Studio into a more comprehensive productivity tool rather than a traditional analytics platform.

Why Meta Is Pushing Harder For Creators

The initiative comes as competition for creators intensifies across social media platforms. Facebook continues to compete with TikTok and YouTube for audience attention, making creator retention an increasingly important priority. By embedding AI more deeply into creator workflows, Meta is seeking to make content planning, performance analysis and community management easier without requiring users to rely on external tools.

Keeping more of those activities within Facebook’s ecosystem could help strengthen creator engagement while reducing dependence on third-party AI platforms for brainstorming, analytics and audience insights.

Part Of A Broader App Expansion Strategy

Wednesday’s announcement fits into a broader pattern of product launches from Meta. Last month, the company introduced Forum, a stand-alone app for Facebook Groups that functions similarly to Reddit. In April, it launched Instants, an app for sharing disappearing photos with Instagram friends.

The pipeline appears to be growing. The New York Times reported this week that Meta is also building a prediction-market app internally known as Arena, though it has not yet launched. Taken together, these products suggest a company that is increasingly comfortable spinning up focused apps around specific use cases instead of relying solely on its flagship platforms.

That approach aligns with comments CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly made to employees earlier this year, when he pointed to AI-driven efficiencies as a way for Meta to build more apps than it historically has. The message is clear: Meta is not just adding AI features. It is reorganizing product strategy around them.
