Services: ElevenLabs Suno
UMG and ElevenLabs unveiled a multi-year licensing and product deal, starting with a fan-facing platform for AI remixes and mashups plus joint tools for artists and songwriters.
Suno's new v6, v6-wild, and v6-mini models add natural-language song editing, mashups, sampling, and multi-input generation from text, audio, images, and video, developed with major music-industry partners.
After previously declining to distribute Suno's output, Believe and TuneCore reversed course, agreeing to a distribution pathway for tracks made under Suno's industry partner model, built on watermarking and download limits.
ElevenLabs' September 7 update gives ElevenAgents workspace-wide conversation tickets, dynamic conversation filters, and Twilio answering machine detection for outbound calls, alongside SDK and CLI updates.
ElevenLabs has introduced Composer, a new ElevenMusic tool that lets creators build songs section by section โ editing lyrics, style, and structure independently and auditioning multiple takes before committing to a final version.
Suno shipped a major playlist upgrade โ shuffle, creator filters, drag-to-reorder, in-playlist search, custom cover art, and library pinning โ followed a day later by offline playlist downloads for iOS and Android.
Independent music publisher Round Hill Music filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Suno in federal court, alleging DMCA circumvention via scraping firm Bright Data and seeking statutory damages that could reach $1 billion. A parallel suit was filed against Anthropic the same day.
Suno's browser-based DAW gets a major upgrade: full MIDI import/record/edit, a beta AI chat bar for building instruments and plugins, advanced stem separation, automation curves, and unlimited high-resolution export for Premier subscribers.
Suno and BMG announced a global strategic alliance covering BMG's recorded and publishing repertoire, with participating artists and songwriters compensated for their music. The deal precedes Suno's launch of its first music model developed in partnership with the music industry, following a similar agreement with Warner Music Group.
