MMGenre
Benchmarking Singing Voice Synthesis across Multiple Musical Genres
MMGenre is a diagnostic benchmark for studying how singing voice synthesis systems behave across diverse musical genres. It combines genre-aligned music scores with broad genre coverage to expose limited genre discrimination in current systems.
A broad musical taxonomy
MMGenre spans ten major genres and twenty-seven subgenres, enabling controlled analysis at multiple levels of musical specificity.

Genre-Aligned Examples
Each example pairs a vocal segment with its genre label, subgenre label, lyrics, and a compact pitch-duration score.
Selected sample
A key finding
Genre Collapse in SVS
Current SVS systems often produce vocals with highly similar acoustic characteristics across genres, resulting in weak genre separability.
Different scores.
Similar voices.
Despite receiving genre-aligned scores, synthesized vocals tend to converge toward a shared acoustic profile. Listen below to compare Suno ground truth with VISinger2 across all ten genres.
Zero-shot adaptation offers only marginal gains, while lightweight genre-specific continued training is substantially more effective.
