Ulasan ElevenLabs Music v2: Kinerja Nyata, API, dan Prompt
Chloe Murphy
Terakhir Diperbarui 10 Agustus 2026
AI music is moving fast, and ElevenLabs Music v2 is one of the most ambitious new song-generation models. But can it preserve supplied lyrics, follow a detailed arrangement, and deliver a usable track without heavy editing?
We tested it with three original 90-second briefs: a synth-pop vocal song, a cinematic instrumental, and an eight-part alternative-pop arrangement. This review covers the audio, prompt compliance, generation time, task-reported cost, official controls, and API access.
Quick Answer: How Good Is ElevenLabs Music v2?
OUR SHORT VERDICT
ElevenLabs Music v2 was strongest when the brief demanded explicit lyrics and section control. It produced all three requested 90-second files, kept the supplied words intact in our lyric test, and made the eight requested song sections easy to hear.
It was less exact at the edges: one instrumental impact arrived earlier than requested, one instrumental break ran long, and the structured song ended more like a fade than the clean final chord in the prompt.
Best observed strength: lyrics and audible song structure.
Main limitation: fine timing and ending instructions were not always exact.
Test scope: three controlled API runs, not an industry benchmark.
ElevenLabs Music v2 is also available through GlobalGPT’s audio generator. That route puts multiple audio and AI models in one account, avoids a separate VPN or provider setup, and can reduce the cost of maintaining several standalone subscriptions.
Before looking at our results, it helps to separate the model’s published feature set from what three prompts can actually prove.
Apa itu ElevenLabs Music v2?
ElevenLabs introduced Music v2 on May 26, 2026 as an upgraded music-generation model for songs and instrumentals. The company says the release improves vocals, instrumentation, arrangement, multilingual support, dense lyric delivery, genre transitions, and inpainting.
Music v2 powers ElevenMusic, ElevenAPI, and ElevenCreative. Through the API, developers can generate tracks programmatically, edit a selected region with inpainting, and work with reference matching.

ElevenLabs Music v2 Test Results
We used three controlled API runs with a fixed 90-second target. GPT generated the original lyric sets once on our platform, and we froze them before testing Music v2. Listening notes were cross-checked with Gemini 3.6 Flash audio analysis. Times below are local end-to-end generation time; charges are values reported by the completed tasks.
Test 1: Pop Song With Supplied Lyrics
TEST 01Pop Song With Supplied Lyrics
Target 90 detik112 BPMSeorang anak di bawah umurSuara alto
Pengaturan tugas: Create a contemporary synth-pop song about two people leaving a city late at night, using the supplied words exactly. We listened for lyric preservation, vocal clarity, hook strength, arrangement, and the requested final chord.
Show the full copyable prompt
Buatlah satu lagu synth-pop kontemporer yang sepenuhnya orisinal berdurasi 90 detik dengan vokal utama alto yang hangat dan ekspresif. Gunakan tempo 112 BPM dan kunci A minor. Suasana lagunya penuh harapan, intim, dan sinematik. Mulailah dengan piano elektrik yang diredam dan denyut lembut dari synthesizer analog. Tambahkan bass yang bulat dan drum elektronik yang rapat pada bait pertama, bangun ketegangan di bagian pre-chorus, dan buka ke bagian chorus yang luas dan mudah diingat dengan harmoni latar yang terkendali. Jaga agar vokal utama tetap jelas dan berada di tengah dengan pemisahan instrumen yang bersih. Jangan gunakan intro yang diucapkan, rap, suara kerumunan, peniruan artis sungguhan, atau fade-out. Akhiri dengan akor terakhir yang jelas.
Nyanyikan lirik persis seperti di bawah ini. Jangan menambahkan, menghapus, mengganti, atau mengubah urutan kata atau bagian.
[Bait 1]
Lampu kota memudar di belakang kami
Jalan-jalan sunyi kini menuntun jalan
Bisikan tengah malam, tak menoleh ke belakang
Cakrawala baru memecah kelabu
[Pre-Chorus]
Bergandengan tangan, kita melangkah ke yang tak dikenal
Mengejar mimpi yang kita sebut milik kita
[Chorus]
Kita hidup di malam yang sunyi
Menemukan bintang-bintang di balik cakrawala
Tersesat dalam bayangan, namun begitu terang
Bersama, kita akan mendefinisikan ulang
[Verse 2]
Langkah kaki yang lembut di jalanan sepi
Setiap napas adalah sebuah kisah
Tanpa janji, hanya langit yang tak berujung
Di matamu, masa depan bersemayam
[Reff Akhir]
Kita hidup di malam yang sunyi
Menemukan bintang-bintang di balik cakrawala
Tersesat dalam bayangan, namun begitu bersinar
Bersama, kita akan mendefinisikan ulang

Pengaturan tugas: Build a science-fiction cue around a recognizable felt-piano motif, with gradual orchestral growth, brass only in the final third, no human voice texture, and a resolved ending.
Show the full copyable prompt
Buatlah satu komposisi instrumental sinematik berdurasi 90 detik yang sepenuhnya orisinal untuk adegan eksplorasi fiksi ilmiah yang dramatis. Gunakan tempo 82 BPM dan kunci D minor. Jangan gunakan vokal, dialog, bisikan, paduan suara, atau suara yang menyerupai suara manusia. Mulailah dengan tenang menggunakan motif piano yang sederhana dan senar yang dimainkan rendah dan berkelanjutan. Perkenalkan denyut analog yang halus setelah bagian pembuka, lalu bangun secara bertahap dengan lapisan senar dan perkusi rendah yang terkendali. Tambahkan alat musik tiup logam hanya pada sepertiga terakhir. Capai satu klimaks emosional yang jelas menjelang akhir tanpa volume yang berlebihan atau distorsi. Jaga agar motif piano tetap mudah dikenali dan pertahankan pemisahan yang jelas antara piano, senar, perkusi, denyut synth, dan alat musik tiup logam. Gunakan timbre orkestra yang realistis dengan campuran yang lapang namun terkendali. Hindari efek dentuman khas trailer pada paruh pertama. Jangan meniru skor, komposer, atau waralaba yang sudah ada. Akhiri dengan akord yang diselesaikan dan dipertahankan daripada fade-out.

Pengaturan tugas: Create an alternative-pop song with eight audible sections in a fixed order: Intro, Verse, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Instrumental Break, Bridge, Final Chorus, and Outro.
Show the full copyable prompt
Buatlah satu lagu pop alternatif berdurasi 90 detik yang sepenuhnya orisinal dengan vokal utama tenor yang jernih dan ekspresif. Gunakan tempo 104 BPM dan kunci D mayor dengan gaya produksi pop alternatif modern, pengucapan yang alami, serta efek vokal yang minim. Tidak boleh ada narasi lisan, rap, peniruan artis sungguhan, atau fade-out. Pertahankan urutan bagian ini persis seperti yang disebutkan dan pastikan setiap perubahan produksi terdengar jelas: Intro—sekitar 6 detik, hanya gitar listrik yang difilter dan synth yang terdengar jauh; Verse—tambahkan bass tanpa efek dan perkusi rim-click; Pre-Chorus—tambahkan pad yang naik tanpa drum lengkap; Chorus—masukkan drum lengkap, synth yang lebih luas, dan hook melodi yang jelas; Instrumental Break—sekitar 8 detik, ulangi melodi chorus tanpa vokal; Bridge—kurangi menjadi piano dan vokal yang intim dan dekat; Final Chorus—kembalikan formasi band lengkap, tambahkan harmoni latar dan garis gitar oktaf, serta buat suaranya lebih megah daripada chorus pertama; Outro—hilangkan drum, kembali ke gitar yang difilter, dan akhiri dengan akord akhir yang bersih.
Nyanyikan lirik persis seperti di bawah ini. Jangan menambahkan, menghapus, mengganti, mengubah urutan, atau menyanyikan petunjuk instrumental dalam tanda kurung sebagai lirik.
[Intro]
(Instrumental)
[Verse]
Tombol-tombol retak mendengung melodi yang patah
Jari-jari menelusuri garis-garis yang pudar
Bisikan statis memenuhi ruangan
Mencari di antara tanda-tanda yang kusut
[Pre-Chorus]
Sinyal berkedip, suara tak jelas
Menanti suara yang mendalam
[Chorus]
Bisakah kau mendengarku di tengah kebisingan?
Panggilan dari kejauhan, pilihan yang rapuh
Gangguan radio memudar, suara yang lebih jelas
Pegang erat-erat, kita akan menemukan kebisingan itu
[Instrumental Break]
(Instrumental)
[Bridge]
Harapan rapuh dalam cahaya yang retak
Gema lembut, menarikku mendekat
Dalam keheningan, kau muncul
[Reff Akhir]
Bisakah kau mendengarku di tengah kebisingan?
Panggilan dari kejauhan, pilihan yang rapuh
Gangguan radio memudar, suara yang lebih jelas
Pegang erat-erat, kita akan menemukan kebisingan itu

Bisikan berubah menjadi lagu
Kita berada di tempat yang seharusnya

What the Three Tests Show
Performance Findings
3/3Usable outputs
Every run returned a playable 90-second file that fit the broad musical task.
1Clear lyric pass
The supplied pop lyrics showed no clear deviation in our listening checks.
8Audible sections
The fixed-structure song made all requested sections easy to identify.
Vocals: clear, centered, and separated well from the electronic backing in Test 1.
Instrumental writing: the piano motif and controlled build in Test 2 showed that the model can handle more than vocal pop.
Prompt control: broad structure was stronger than frame-level timing; intros, breaks, impacts, and endings still deserve manual review.
Editing burden: none of the three outputs was unusable, but Tests 2 and 3 would need small arrangement edits for strict production delivery.
Efficiency Findings
Generation Time Across Three 90-Second Runs
Pop vocals
42,0 detik
Instrumental
20,9 detik
Eight-part song

Average local end-to-end generation time: 27.9 seconds. Local time includes request handling, polling, and network delay; it is not provider-side latency.
Total output: 270 seconds across three files.
Total task-reported charge: $0.675.
Charge per run: $0.225 for 90 seconds, which equals 1.5 minutes × the official $0.15-per-minute API rate.
No reruns: all three completed tasks produced usable audio on the first recorded attempt.
How to Access ElevenLabs Music v2
Access Through ElevenLabs
Use ElevenMusic for browser-based composition.
Use ElevenAPI for programmatic generation and editing.
The official SDK exposes the model through elevenlabs.music.compose dengan model_id="music_v2". A basic request can set a natural-language perintah dan music_length_ms. Composition plans add more precise section structure, lyric timing, and arrangement control.
Generation: create a complete song or instrumental from a prompt.
Detailed response: request more information about the generated composition.
Streaming: begin receiving audio without waiting for the complete file.
Inpainting: regenerate a selected region instead of replacing the whole track.
Reference matching: guide a generation with reference material where supported.
Prompts that name copyrighted artists, songs, or protected lyrics can trigger a bad_prompt atau bad_composition_plan response. Describe musical attributes instead of asking for a living artist’s exact style.
Example API Request
Python SDKModel: music_v2
import os
from elevenlabs import ElevenLabs, save
client = ElevenLabs(api_key=os.environ["ELEVENLABS_API_KEY"])
audio = client.music.compose(
model_id="music_v2",
prompt=(
"Create an original cinematic instrumental with felt piano, "
"low strings, a gradual build, and a resolved final chord."
),
music_length_ms=90_000,
)
save(audio, "music-v2-test.mp3")
Keep the API key in an environment variable, not inside the script. For a production app, add request logging, retry limits, and a clear cost cap before generating long tracks.
Maximum published output length for one music request.
Our 90-second task charge
