ElevenLabs Releases AI-Assisted 'Eleven Album' With Liza Minnelli and Art Garfunkel

ElevenLabs frames the release as a creator-first collaboration that keeps authorship and streaming income with the participating artists.

Liza Minnelli and Art Garfunkel are among the musicians teaming up with ElevenLabs for its latest venture: an AI album.
The cover art for a new song called 'Kids Wait Til You Hear This,' co-created by Liza Minnelli.

Overview

  • The compilation launched Jan. 21 with 13 tracks co-created using the Eleven Music model and is streaming on elevenlabs.io and Spotify.
  • Liza Minnelli clarified that AI was used for the musical arrangement on her new track while the vocals are hers, defending the choice after online pushback.
  • Art Garfunkel contributed a spoken-word piece over an AI-generated piano backing and said the process respected musicianship with the human voice central.
  • ElevenLabs says contributors retain full authorship and receive all streaming revenue by releasing through their own channels under a rights-secure framework.
  • The company touts tools that generate full compositions and allow granular edits to lyrics, timing and instrumentation, as critics question safeguards and note Consumer Reports found voice-cloning checks could be bypassed.
