Liza Minnelli and Art Garfunkel are collaborating with ElevenLabs to create a groundbreaking album that combines human creativity and artificial intelligence. “The Eleven Album” brings together artists from different generations, presenting musical works with varying degrees of AI involvement, giving a new dimension to the collaboration between humans and technology in modern music.
Liza Minnelli and Art Garfunkel are at the center of a bold musical collaboration that aims to bring together human inspiration with the power of artificial intelligence. The renowned voice technology company ElevenLabs has unveiled “The Eleven Album,” a collaborative project that brings together iconic artists and AI creators in a unique musical experience.
The album features songs in which artificial intelligence participates at different levels. In some tracks, the music was created entirely by the ElevenMusic system, while in others the artists composed or sang on ideas that came from the technology. The goal is to highlight how AI can function as a tool for inspiration, without replacing human creation.
ElevenLabs emphasized that all participants in the album retain full ownership and rights to their works, as well as revenue from streams. Among the artists participating is King Willonius, known for the viral track “BBL Drizzy,” who represents the new generation of creators who combine voice, AI, and art into a single result.
The Eleven Album is set to be released on Spotify, through an unprecedented partnership between the platform and an artificial intelligence company — the first official direct AI music distribution deal. With this move, ElevenLabs and Spotify are paving the way for a new era where technology coexists with music creation, but with respect for creators.

Mati Staniszewski, CEO of ElevenLabs, called the album’s release “a milestone for modern music.” He explained that the project unites artists with huge careers and millions of streams, proving that “AI can amplify human imagination and inspiration.” At the same time, he emphasized that the company’s ultimate goal is to “redefine the relationship between technology and people.”
Liza Minnelli, known for her emotional voice and long career in theater and music, said that what interested her in the project was the idea of collaboration while respecting artistic truth. As she noted, the project honors the voice, choices, and rights of the artist. Minnelli explained that she grew up seeing her parents’ creativity belong to others, which is now changing, as ElevenLabs allows artists to have control and ownership of their work.
Art Garfunkel, for his part, spoke about music's long relationship with technological advancement. He reminded us that progress in music is nothing new — from the first microphones to multi-channel studios — and added that "technology is yet another tool that can open new creative doors." But he pointed out that "the focus must always be on the human."

ElevenLabs has developed the Iconic Marketplace, a platform where artists can license their voices for use by AI, without losing control of their rights. Through this process, well-known artists allow their voices to be used for new projects, while maintaining full control and compensation.
Liza Minnelli's collaboration with ElevenLabs adds a historical dimension to the project. With her experience and the weight of her name, she shows confidence in the new era, declaring herself ready to experiment creatively without losing the personality of her art. Her participation is also confirmed on her official website Liza Minnelli, which highlights the importance of technology as a means that enhances, but does not replace, human expression.
