ElevenLabs and Universal Music Partner for AI Song Remixing
Universal Music Group (UMG) and AI audio company ElevenLabs announced a multi-year licensing partnership to develop a platform enabling fans to create remixes, mashups, and reinterpretations of songs from Universal's catalog. The platform will feature music only from artists who actively opt in. Financial terms and a launch date were not disclosed. ElevenLabs, known for voice cloning, has faced legal challenges over voice cloning without consent, settling one case in August 2025 but still facing a class action. This is ElevenLabs' first major music label deal, while Universal has previously partnered with Udio, Klay, Spotify, and Nvidia. The initiative combines ElevenLabs' AI models with Universal's rights management and artist community, aiming to provide fair compensation to artists and songwriters.
