Liza Minnelli has a message for all the haters out there.
The Broadway legend recently took to social media to announce her first new song in over 10 years, an EDM-infused track that, like her upcoming memoir, is called “Kids Wait Till You Hear This.”
“Hi Kids, I’m happy as a clam, laughing like hell and losing my mind!” Minnelli, 79, began her Facebook post on Wednesday. “It’s all goin’ on at the time.”
“Today, my first EDM single since The Pet Shop Boys era, released on [ElevenLabs], a Six Billion Dollar techno behemoth does amazing things,” she continued. “Matthew McConaughey was an early investor. Smart.”
However, the beloved EGOT winner faced backlash after revealing that she utilized artificial intelligence to help create the new song.
“What I will not allow this great company to do? Create, clone or copy my voice!” she explained. “On this dance track, ‘Kids Wait Till You Hear This’ which is a tease for my book, we used AI arrangements. Not AI vocals.”
“A few trolls didn’t bother to read the truth, check with me or my partners,” Minnelli added. “The shout outs are all mine!”
The “Cabaret” singer went on to encourage her almost 400,000 Facebook followers to “go listen, enjoy, and shake your pretty buns to the music, as we glide down the runway to send my book into the world and your very own hot hands.”
Minnelli’s fans, meanwhile, took to the comments section to express their disappointment that AI was used to craft the new track.
“Yikes, this is all incredibly awkward,” one person wrote.
“Love Liza,” added another. “Detest whoever’s behind this.”
“Wow! I wish Liza knew what is being done to exploit her,” commented a third, while a fourth shared, “Doesn’t matter what you used AI for. AI is absolutely terrible and it’s heartbreaking to see a legendary artist such as yourself have a robot do it for you.”
The Post has reached out to Minnelli’s reps for comment.
ElevenLabs, the leading AI software company behind “The Eleven Album,” announced Minnelli’s participation in a press release on Wednesday.
Described as “a landmark musical release” designed to “explore what’s possible when artists and AI create together,” the project also features Art Garfunkel, songwriter Patrick Patrikios and composer Demitri Leiros alongside AI-generated artists like Kai and King Willonius.
The “New York, New York” star was quoted in the release as being “interested” in the new project because it provided her the opportunity to use her “voice and new tools in service of expression” rather than “instead of it.”
“This project respects the artist’s voice, the artist’s choices, and the artist’s ownership,” she said. “I grew up watching my parents create wonderful dreams that were owned by other people.”
She added, “ElevenLabs makes it possible for anyone to be a creator and owner. That matters.”
Minnelli’s last new song, “A Love Letter from the Times,” was released in 2013 for the NBC musical series “Smash.”
Although the “Arthur” star recorded an intro for Nicolas King’s record “Act One” in 2021, she hasn’t released a full album of her own since “Confessions” in 2010.
Minnelli surprised fans last year when she performed live for the first time in years during a rare appearance on the Season 17 finale of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” in April.
