ElevenLabs launches AI music model that switches genres mid-track

ElevenLabs has unveiled a new AI music generation model capable of changing musical genres within a single track. The tool also allows users to regenerate specific sections of a song without altering the rest. The release marks another step forward in AI-powered creative audio tools.

ElevenLabs, the AI audio technology company, has introduced a new music generation model that brings a notable new capability to AI-assisted music creation: the ability to shift genres seamlessly within a single track.

The model stands out from existing AI music tools by giving users granular control over individual segments of a composition. Rather than regenerating an entire piece from scratch, creators can isolate a specific section and alter it independently, leaving the rest of the track untouched. This kind of surgical editing has long been a workflow challenge in AI-generated audio.

The genre-switching feature opens up creative possibilities for producers and hobbyists alike, allowing a track to transition, for example, from ambient electronica into jazz or from pop into orchestral arrangements without the seams typically associated with AI composition tools.

ElevenLabs has built its reputation primarily on voice cloning and text-to-speech technology, but the company has been steadily expanding into broader audio generation. The new music model signals a more ambitious push into the creative tools space, where competitors such as Suno and Udio have already gained significant traction.

No pricing details or a specific global release date have been announced at the time of writing, but the model is expected to be made available through ElevenLabs' existing platform.
