Suno released version 5.5 of its music generator on March 27, 2026, with three features it says are aimed at both first-time users and professionals. The headline one, Voices, lets Pro and Premier subscribers record or upload their own singing and have Suno use that voice in generated songs.
To stop people capturing someone else's voice, Suno asks the user to speak a random phrase and checks it against the recording. Captured voices are private to the account for now; sharing is planned but has no date. A second feature, Custom Models, lets the same paying tiers upload their own tracks and build up to three personalised versions of the model, while My Taste, open to every tier, learns a user's preferred genres and moods. Suno summed up its pitch with the line "the best music starts with a human".
The launch landed amid continuing legal trouble. Universal and Sony are still suing Suno, as are Denmark's Koda and Germany's GEMA, although Warner settled in November and promised licensed models in 2026. MBW notes that, days earlier, its founder had pointed out that no Warner-licensed model had appeared 114 days after that deal, and v5.5 is presumably still built on the earlier foundation. A coalition of artist representatives launched a "Say No to Suno" campaign in February, and Suno has also had a public dispute with Universal over walled gardens.
Suno reported in February that it had 2 million paying subscribers and $300 million in annual recurring revenue, after a $250 million round in November 2025 valued it at $2.45 billion, and says more than 100 million people have used the service. It has hired industry veterans, including former Warner executive Paul Sinclair, former Merlin chief Jeremy Sirota and ex-Spotify manager Sam Berger, to build relationships with the business.
