Popboi. Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Does it matter what we think? Their respective teams agreed to this for a reason (so despite some claiming the two songs sound nothing alike, clearly they do as Olivia/Taylor’s teams both think otherwise). Also it’s not black and white that whoever writes more, earns more. Olivia’s publishing deal must be horrendous as she also gets next to nothing of the revenue of the other 2 sampled songs. Since she might be pissed at the situation and recently talked about knowing more about the legalities of songwriting and publishing, she probably thought saying Cruel Summer inspiring the bridge of deja vu was enough to justify not giving a credit. But it doesn’t work like that, which might’ve came as a shock to her. Edited September 3, 2023 by Popboi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted September 4, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted September 4, 2023 I don't hear a similarity between the two songs, so I cannot understand why Taylor and her team need 50% of the royalties. It's a shame some artists in the music industry have become as shady and greedy as they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superben Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Olivia should have just removed that part. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAg Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 NO!!! it doesn't sound ANYTHING like Cruel Summer! the vocal melody has a rhythm for like 3 seconds that occurs 4 (?) times in the song that has a very passing resemblance to something for a second in Cruel Summer, so that's 12 seconds out of the song (at most, I haven't counted and don't feel like it). it is absolutely ridiculous to imply that that song copies Cruel Summer in any way as a songwriter this has always bothered me so f*cking much. songs have overlapping qualities and that doesn't mean they all need to be co-written by writers of other songs 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I54X Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Taylor should actually get 65% of all of the album royalties tbh. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letemtalk Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Even if Olivia's team made the initial offer, it seems very unlikely it would have been for 50% for such a minor similarity. Perhaps 10% might have been a more reasonable amount, which is what Taylor and Jack gave to Annie for her influence/inspiration/interpolation from "Cruel" that contributed to "Cruel Summer".

Richie.Valdez Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 All I can say is that Lana Del Rey is really the standard of class and grace when it comes to be the bigger person in such situations. A true supporter of fellow female musicians 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a Gay on ATRL Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 The Marvin Gaye case set an annoying precedent in popular music. This is what we get as a result. No, she didn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
