US EditionLiza Minnelli Defends Using AI to Release First New Song in 13 Years
Liza Minnelli confirms her new single uses AI only for musical arrangements and not to replicate her voice, pushing back against false claims amid her artistic expression and memoir promotion.
- On Thursday, Liza Minnelli released the single Kids Wait Till You Hear This, clarifying AI supplied arrangements while her own voice was used and she would not allow ElevenLabs to copy her voice.
- Minnelli said she agreed to the project because she wanted to use her voice with new tools for artistic expression, not replacement, and the track teases her memoir due in March, marking her first new music since 2013.
- The Eleven Album, a 13-track compilation, features contributions from Art Garfunkel and Michael Feinstein, while ElevenLabs, described by Minnelli as a six billion dollar techno behemoth, says its AI helps artists spark ideas and accelerate workflows.
- On Jan. 22, Liza Minnelli responded on Facebook that trolls wrongly claimed ElevenLabs copied her voice, urging fans to listen and support the project and her memoir.
- Last week, Matthew McConaughey filed to trademark his catchphrase amid AI likeness concerns, following April last year’s backlash against Australian Radio Network's CADA using ElevenLabs, which says it respects artists' voices.
