Weeknd has more clout than Kendrick sooooo.....
Who that chaser thinking that he's fronting on ? Man Man
Get the fuck out my page I'm the court man

Aleup **children

so u think MBDTF is a 6/10??
Aleup this is a good comment
Holding them sausage
Let’s agree: The Beatles ripped off Lil Xan
*agree*
Disagree. Lil Xan ripped off Corey Feldman, therefore The Beatles did as well.
I.......AGREE
100%
finally someone says it
anthony wtf is a Yeasayer
Probably something vegan
People who dont like MBDTF
People who like Jesus is king but no other ye album
kid detected
The opposite of a Naysayer?
I thought that sound was just like African chants or something you can hear more similar to that throughout the album
It is lol. The sound is a celebratory sound that Africans and Arabs make on special occasions. It's not a sample lol. The Weeknd is Ethiopian and I'm pretty certain he put that in the track as a homage to his African roots. The two songs don't sound anything alike.
Valerie Tesfaye yea definitely fit the aesthetic they were going for with the album and it matched well with the movie
Valerie Tesfaye it’s actually from Ludwig Goranson putting African stuff all over the album, The Weeknd dgaf
@@Dinnerthedaythebanksareopen ululating, my family does it constantly 😂
@@ErikGiovani he speaks Amharic all the time on his albums so i wouldn't say he "dgaf"
I'm not a musician but I'm Ethiopian/Eritrean and that chant is a common chant made by Eritrean/Ethiopian women during celebrations. It sounds a bit like "EL'EL'EL". Given the fact that the Black Panther soundtrack was inspired by African culture and music, I'm pretty sure that's what that sound is. that's sound is also present in other cultures, recently Shakira was being made fun of for doing that celebration chant during the Superbowl. And Able uses references to Ethiopian culture more than people would think. Like in "The Hills" at the end there is a voice that sings "yene konjo" which in Amharic means my love. so I'm pretty sure there is no basis for copyright infringement here.
Shakira isn't of African descent, she's Colombian
sorrowful Satchel shes part Lebanese
@@basketcase3496 still not african
@@wateredown_3651 right before the original comment mentions Shakira, they preface it by saying it's present in OTHER CULTURES
doesn't matter if she's African or not, she was only mentioned as an example of the chant's recent use in pop culture
@@sorrowfulsatchel679 they never said she was, they only said the chant was "present in other cultures," and then gave her as an example
This is absolutely nothing. The intro to sunrise is definitely them singing "oooh" but the Pray For Me bit is "alalalalalalalalalala."
agree

Nigel Chinclucker that “alalala” chant is a VERY common Ethiopian Chant. The Weeknd is Ethiopian. Simple as that. He didn’t rip anything from that band.
'ain't nobody praying for me' - Kendrick Lamar on the 7/10 Score album, DAMN.
A video by Anthony Fantano around 20 minutes long about Kendrick Lamar’s album called damn with songs by Kendrick Lamar which Anthony Fantano gave a score of 7/10 which made many people very angry and mad at Anthony Fantano. Anthony Fantano
I think he sees it as more of a 5/10 now lol
It’s atleast a darn/damn
@@joedorben3504 He changed the score to 6/10 a while ago so maybe now it's 5/10.
@@lunaleonem3378 6/10 is fair for Damn now
the weeknd is ethiopian and so am i. the “elelelele” was a homage to a chant that north or east africans/arabs do in celebration, similar to a clap. this dude is just down on cash and need some $$ lmfaooo.
Canadian- yes. Ethiopian- kinda, but not really.
mraaronhd lmao The Weeknd is definitely Habesha. I don’t know what your talking about
Jonas Helling he wasn’t born in Ethiopia. His parents are Ethiopian, not him. He was born in Canada. He is Canadian.
@@mraaronhd he was born and lived in Canada does not mean he has actual Canadian blood in him. But I guess you can say he is both
Even Egyptians do it I’m Egypt that’s our chant
It doesn't sound the same to me. The Pray for Me version sounds like it has a clear L pronunciation in it: more like an alalalalalala. You don't hear that L being pronounced in the Yaesayer version. It doesn't sound like a sample. It just seems like the tone is similar, but doesnt mean the vocalization was stolen.
a huge L.
Yeah actually, think your right
James W. olololololo vs alalalalalala
Exactly. You can't manipulate a sample to sound like they're singing an "aah" sound instead of an "ooh". These two songs only share the same key and that's it.
@@mishmashmush Not even that. Yaesayers sounds like an ooooo or an aaaaaa, but with variation of "stresses" (at least from a writers' pov. I'm not sure what you call that from a musical standpoint. Maybe pitch. I'm not sure) It sounds softer. Whereas the Pray for Me seems harder because the consonant is present.
Isn't that sound directly from the Ludwig Göransson score on "Black Panther"?
The album incorporates parts of the score very directly.
DaOmega95 right? That’s what I thought too. The album is actually really creative and inspired in how elements from the score were incorporated and sampled in all of the songs
Yeah but Abel and Kendrick have more money
Well they're not gonna sue Marvel directly lol
@@Blueissuperior So Ludwig Goransson copied Yaesayer if I'm understanding your logic correctly?
@@TheSammlung23 nah I think they're doing this for money/attention they don't have a case
That... Isn't that just a stereotypical "tribal war-cry"? That's what I always interpretted it as. I've heard that sound used in movies, videogames, everything and never thought it sounded like the intro to a Yeasayer track
Spongebob has used that war-cry several times
@@masonshipton2344 VICTORY SCREECH
It’s not a war cry it’s a celebration chant, usually used in churches in Ethiopian/Eritrean culture. Hence the title pray for me. And the Weeknd is Ethiopian. YEASAYER ARE SMOKING CRACK.
they are called ululation
@@malarkeyhere so basically it is a victory screech
The Weeknd has been sued for copyright infringement like 3 times in the past year. Cut the man a break
@Ossarian Thank You
ayaan bazaz it can be changed more, whether you believe it or nottt
@@Y0utubeIsFuckingHomo Quit replying to every comment, thrashing people.
It's not even the first lawsuit for this album. Kendrick's also having a hard time.
Ossarian r u in the studio w him? Lol he writes majority of his work man. Has someone maybe helped him on a hook or a verse here and there probably but he is too gifted to not do majority of it on his own. Hell, he’s wrote amazing songs for others; love me harder Ariana grande, shot for me drake, marvins room drake, practice drake and 6 inch by Beyoncé.
I'm beginning to think lawsuits like this aren't being made with the expectation of winning, they're just publicity grabs for the accuser to get their name in headlines somehow. That's the most frustrating thing.
The sad part is that these cases actually do get taken seriously.
@@GriffinWelch They should people make stuff and someone steals it. This is serious but I'm not saying there is A case here in saying that stealing people's work is bad
It cost money to do this so its pretty expensive advertisements
They used their sample, alright, which isn't even that big of a deal. It's just, that you as an artist, should feel obliged, to contact the original owner of said recordings you are using to publish your recording, on which you make money, since it's totally dependent on their choice. It's a business, as much as it's a craft and an art. Just like every other thing you can do heartfelt.
I'm with you on this one. If you purposefully file in lawsuits like this you should be fined. Not only do you drag the name of the accused people in the mud , you also waste the time of the lawyers and judges.
I would laugh if the producer showed up in court, bought out their macbook and opened a synthesiser and recreated that sound. Slam dunk
*Thanks for creating printing and all that shit in Europe Mr.Gutenburg, really helps me out...*
Loved U in police academy mr guttenberg
Johannes Gutenburg lol Skrillex did that for Sorry. Shit was hilarious
good luck creating those vocal harmonies with a synthesizer id love to see it.
whyz are you challenging me bro?
I wonder when Kendrick will get sued for ripping his entire discography off from the musical genius that is Corey Feldman
?
Feldog is god
Well, Fieldman copied Playboi carti so there will be a kawsuit for him too.
Masa no because carti and kendrick are dog shit. corey is the real deal and deserves a veteran discount
YSM Mac Carti >>>>>>>>>>> whoever tf Corey’s irrelevant ass is
There’s a distinct difference between both sounds
Yeasayers sound says: OOOOOO
And The Weeknd song says: Ahhhhhh
Trey Smith it’s more like The Weekend is ululating as in the “lulululululu” or “lalalalala” sound is being made but the point still stands
You can change the vowel characteristic by shifting the formants. The effects of ululating can be simulated with a fast sidechain.
@@TheDGomezzi It certainly sounds like an auto pan or some other kind of stereo modulation effect. And yea, shifting the formants would mangle the vowel noise.
That's the thing about re pitching vocals. The process pretty well transforms a lot of the characteristics of the original sound, but if it's the same audio clip it's the same audio clip.
Anthony, you know how that tiger shirt makes me feel. Replace it or I’m calling the FBI again.
Oh ffs. We’re going to get to a point where no one can make any more music since everyone will end up getting sued. Depressing really. And really stupid.
This happens alot more than people realise
I mean you act like this will effect Kendrick or the Weeknd in any way at all

Preach
The choir sound in Pray for Me is an inital "ah," quickly followed by a sustained "lalala..." This "lalala..." has a clear initial rhythm that smears over time to create a smooth timbre (a kind of sustained "ah"). It should also be noted the "ah" and "lala..." are in time with the beat. Contrast this with the choir sound in Sunrise, which is a chorused "oooo" with an upwards pitch bent attack. The perceived timbral rhythm is mostly just chorusing motion (basically: an erratic beating effect produced by combining sounds with slight variations in pitch, i.e. lots of singers trying to sing the same note).
Hardly a sample. I don't even need to use my subjective experience to justify this. Look at both songs in a spectrogram and the differences are so fucking obvious it's absurd. Either whoever behind the lawsuit is utterly incompetent, or they're knowingly wrong and malicious money grubbers.
"Me and Top Dawg playing rock paper scissor in court"

If anyone needs to be sued for infringement, it's the Black Eyed Peas for their new song "RITMO". It has an uncredited sample of DJ Snake & AlunaGeorge's song "You Know You Like It". And it's not a just a sample, it's the "drop" in "RITMO"!
Just because it's uncredited doesn't mean they didn't clear it and pay for it.

The pray for me song sounds more like an *Oulalalalalala* while the sound from Yeasayers sounds more like an *ouhuhuhuhuhu*
Eahuhuhuhu
HOLD ON. THEY'RE TRYING TO CLAIM COPYRIGHT OVER SUNG CHORD CHANGES?
C'mon now lol
nope. they're trying to say that they were sampled without permission.
I agree, suing over the existence of a sample rather than how the sample was implemented is wild. It would be like if Vanilla ice got sued for using a guitar in his song as opposed to what he played on the guitar.
It sounds similar, but so does Megalovania and Complicated by Avril Lavigne.
You can’t turn “ooooooh” with lots of vibrato into “ALALALALA” this lawsuit is absolute trash, it’s not a sample. Been making music and engineering for over a decade and I can tell there’s no case here, just a shameless money grab.
Adam Winter weird because other audio engineers are in here explaining exactly how you could alter the oooooooh to sound like there are the l sounds in Pray for Me
@@elijahgavin6706 okay so vowels don't mean shit anymore
Is that legally defendable?
Hell no
@@elijahgavin6706 okay but why? like why would anyone go through the trouble of sampling some obscure song for a few seconds for the sole purpose of imitating an african chant when its not an african chant to begin with? it reasonably doesn't make sense
@@elijahgavin6706 Yes technically you can use a formant shifting plugin to do it but at that point how far removed does it need to be to not be considered the same? It's a slippery slope and when it goes to trial the argument is nuanced enough that jurors tend to pick who they felt had the best argument, it's no longer based on facts.
Adam Winter I don’t recall making any comment about whether they have a case or not, only that it could be done
Imagine Yeasayer being able to convince the court that the audio clip came from their song, and not a clip of chanting from the movie this album is from
I honestly don’t think Kendrick Lamar (and his producers) have ever heard a Yeasayer song in their lives.
Ud be suprised
Luke Berrie Hip hop producers are notoriously known for sampling just about everything , wtf are you talking about?
Andy Yeasayer are irrelevant af. Nobody wants to sample that shit.
@@lukeberrie3942 nah, logic is exactly opposite. It's much cooler to sample some obscure stuff that nobody heard.
Oh they absolutely have - dude sampled Beach House for god’s sake!
Nobody will sue “Peanut Man” by Tim Buckley because nobody could copy Tim’s genius.
Weyes Noir fun fact: fantano has not listened to Tim Buckley. Granted “peanut man” is his worst (yet still complex) song, if he did a classic review it should be over Starsailor or Happy Sad
Weyes Noir true
I'm pretty sure The alalalala comes from Ethiopian orthodox churches. Whenever a priest says something uplifting or powerful the females in the church produce that sound. The weeknd is a very strong supporter of the Ethiopian orthodox community here in Toronto he's donated thousands of dollars to the saint mary's Orthodox Church. The religious origin of the alalalala sound ties back to the title of the track "Pray for me".
The "Woolalalala" African chant sample is all throughout the BP OST. Off rip, It pops up on "X" towards the end as it's transitioning into "The Ways" but it's a pitch lower than it's appearance on "Pray For Me" & way more isolated so it comes across a lot clearer. You can tell it's not a sample of the Yeasayer song by listening to that. Plus, I remember MixedByAli saying they got a shit ton of sound bites from the movie & they incorporated those in the album. Either way, if Yeasayer comes away winning this court case, they'd be wrong on this one.
From listening to it I don't think that it is the same sound or a sample, in the Yeasayer song the vocals seem to be a consistent breath out, if that makes any sense whereas in Pray for me it's more of a tribal sounding Alehlehleleh sound, if that also makes any sense, and I think that fits more with the theme of Black panther
anthony i am suing you and the weeknd.
*weeknd
Oof. Went and listened and I'm scared they may lose this case. Lawsuits about music never go well lmao
TheSickGman09 no one owns the note D. Especially when it’s done in the style of an African chant. It’s a morally and artistically bankrupt court case.
@@Andioop69420 yes. I agree. But I think they may win.
TheSickGman09 it might be naive to hope common sense can prevail. Hope they get a good lawyer and maybe Adam Neely as a music consultant.
I feel like The Weeknd and Kendrick will get pretty good lawyers, researchers, and financial backing from their record label, right? I would imagine that they have interest in yeasayer not winning too? Idk of course but it looks good for them from this article
@@saintt9044 Katy Perry got money but she lost so...Here's hoping

@Nathan I think this might be the worst comment I've ever read.
I hate this comment section sometimes
Nooo he deleted his comment, I was being sarcastic, I actually liked it.
There's a few samples in the song sunrise that they didn't get permission for lol
They are just jealous that their song never took off. Sounds nothing like pray for me in ny opinion. So nothing will really happen
They're desperate for fame because their band is dead. This is almost becoming a trend with popular songs
@@leonidas8513 exactly
they're not jealous nor desperate for fame. They just want a piece of the pie after a big artist used an unlicensed sample. Copyright law is fun.
@@justfetus I don't think it sounds the same
justfetus now hears a thought I’m sure if they don’t own their publishing they don’t need to be asked for permission of sampling the label or whoever owns it does.
Listening to both parts: the sound in Yeasayer has a long "oh" sound while in Kendrick & The Weeknd's song you can clearly hear the "eL-L-L" vibration as if the tongue is moving up and down giving the vibration effect. Two very different sounds, its noticeable right away.
Just waiting for your Royce album review!!!
This one might be the dumbest lawsuit yet. It's just a vocal technique lmao
The legal precedent behind this gaggle of no-name fuckwits winning would be disastrous for so many artists. These Yeasayer shitheads have no idea what they’re doing to anyone who tries to carry a fucking tune with their voice.
Yeah but if it is sampled, they might have a case? Idk really, i agree that if it isn't sampled, just reproduced, they don't have a case, but it sounds to me just like it was sampled and altered to sound the way it does in "Pray for me". It's all in the courts' hands.
ＩｍｐｅｎｄｉｎｇＲｉｏｔ８３ It’s not just a vocal technique the claim is he sampled their music without asking and without giving any credit. That’s not fair to any artist. Why couldn’t Kendrick just fucking write in the liner notes of the album “samples” and list them?
Fucking ridiculous man it’s literally stealing
@@Moneyman-33 ...but they're audibly different.
@@Moneyman-33 plus Kendrick doesn't produce, dumbass. He wouldn't know what samples were used in an instrumental unless he oversaw production from start to finish
i always thought it was just the weeknd going "walalalalalala" in the mic it doesn't sound like a sample at all
I think they might actually be referring to the vocal sample around the 1:30 in Pray for Me. Sounds somewhat similar.
Thank you. I didnt get it from the article. They sorta have a point.
(In reference to 2:10 on Pray for Me) The Weeknd is Ethiopian lol that sound is something that women make in our culture during celebrations
R u ever going to review stitches. He deserves it
Come on melon
The thing is the samples pitch isn't necessarily been changed, what they did was change the formants to a higher frequency. Pitch just changes the notes in this case being sung. Formant shifting changes the characteristics of the voices, that's why it sounds similar but not exactly the same. Any producer with Melodyne (or any other similar plugin) could do this real easily. I agree the wording of this case is weird but there's no way they didn't sample it. Not to mention that as easy give away is that they sampled the very start of a song, talk to any producer that samples and they'll tell you that 90% of all the chops they make are from the beginnings of a track.
Plus The Weeknd already did this sort of thing with Portishead.
As soon as I checked Pray For Me at 2:10 I bursted out laughing for sure 😂 your impression of it was spot on lol
Damn, Anthony do be wearing the panther shirt to rub it in tho. Nice.
Jake Wheldon lol I hope you’re just making a joke. I don’t want to get whoooshed so imma leave it at that
Black Panther, Orange Tiger, right
WATCH OUT MELON THERE IS A TIGER ON YOUR CHEST 😱😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯
Anthony you can't just sue the artists who made a song for the Black Panther soundtrack just because the word "Black" offends you.
KAZUO hahahah so funny get it because he didnt actually say that hahah so original and hilarious
i haven’t thought about this song in an extremely long time
The sound is kind of similar but the one in Pray for Me is clearly like a tribal/primitive call because of the Black Panther movie. The movie setting is in Africa with heavy tribal themes at the core of the characters and the sound supposed to be a warrior call or something to that effect.
Why is he suing Kendrick on the weekend everyone vibing in the weekend bro 😔
Can't wait for this to be on Kendrick's new album.
The first 45 seconds of that Yeasayer song is amazing. I'll probably just loop that on my playlist.
YaySayer was sick back in the day. Yeah I hear it
This is so disappointing. I've actually really enjoyed a lot of Yeasayer's stuff in the past, their work on the GTA V soundtrack in particular was incredible, but I've lost a lot of respect for them as a band after this.

Everytime I jump in to the comments section i hope that somebody might be expressing their opinions over the video's topic but I'm disappointed each and every time.
This has become the worst comments section.

Good afternoon Melon!
The 2:10 mark in Pray for Me I always imagined was an African call of sorts. I wouldn't say its reminiscent of Sunrise
My music gonna blow soon
Weird way to spell Car Seat Headrest track review
Get on it Melon boy
i liked it. dunno how mellone will enjoy it. the instrumentals were a bit weak
I think the lawsuit is more about the background choirs you can hear on The Weeknd's song at 1:36. They do kinda sound like the same choirs, sampled and pitch-modulated. Or it could be any other choir, or any Kontakt library really
I thought it sounded pretty close and that it'd be as easy as transposing, reverb, and some warping. I threw it into my DAW and worked with it but it doesn't achieve that lalala sound over the oooh sound, but then again, there are a lot of VSTs out there that do a lot of different things. Keeping it as is without transposing actually sounds a lot closer than pitching it up an octave. I tried a few plugins to add a more la la la type of vibrato but I couldn't achieve it (via Autotune, frequency shifter, or automation). I think Abel or the producer and Yeasayer simply crossed paths artistically speaking.
Melon lookin THICCCCC
Always
Imagine being white and thinking that you invented a tribal cry.
Sounds more like a pitched down, slightly slowed sample of the intro to Dead Prez - Radio Freq
quesion if Kendrick and the weekend can prove in the raw recording that they were the one who recorded that part especially since it's a reference to the vocal chants in the blank panther, wouldnt the case be closed at shut? when i heard that i noticed it was the weeknd doing the vocal chants from the movie
Vocals in pray for me sound more like an “Ah” while Sunrise sounds more like an “Ooh”. If you’re not hearing that somethings wrong. This is a bogus suit.
“Sunrise” was kinda ass compared to “Pray For Me”
don’t see the similarity. 🤷🏾♂️
Where the pitchfork link melon ffs
I think it's a sample. If you listen to pray for me right at the end of Kendrick's verse, you can hear it most clearly. I don't know if the "elelele" part is a warbled version of the original (it sounds like it could be.) However, the "ooh" is quiet and layered over in the background, but it's unmistakably the same pitch, tonality, and even the same key. If you switch back and forth between the two tracks and tune your ear to the "ooh" sound right at the beginning of sunrise, you can hear it throughout the second half of pray for me. It's subtle, but I'm pretty sure it's the same.
Don't Pray For Me
the death of copyright would be the greatest thing to happen to music creatively
Neslope And it would also allow much larger artists with bigger social media presence to blatantly steal other artists music from them and those artists would just be told “get fucked bro”
There’s a line between the two that can be drawn but 0 copyright laws just allows thieves to get away with it and then profit.
@@Moneyman-33 meh. all that really happens with these laws in place is erroneous lawsuits like this. music should be shared, not owned.
Imetral That’s absurd. That’s like saying if you form a business and make a product you should be forced to just share it with everyone. That’s not how life works nor is it should be how life works. If you make something and work hard on it. You own that. It’s not your duty to hand it out for free. That’s such a childish way of thinking it’s incredible you actually think that.
My guess is you’ve never created a song yourself and understood how hard that is. And then can’t empathize with someone whose done that work but gets that work stolen by a more well known group and then all your hard work gets used to increase the fame of someone else who didn’t earn it. That’s called theft, ya know, stealing? It’s kind of illegal. For a reason?
@@Moneyman-33 that's some nice false equivalence and assumptions you've got there. not that i need to prove myself to you, but i am a musician and i have created some songs that i've poured time and effort into.
also, your entire premise is formed from the perspective of music as a business rather then music as an art form. i know it's hard to open your mind to alternative perspectives but you might want to try it.
it's funny bc i got these ideas from John Frusciante. y'know, one of the most successful and well respected musicians of the modern day.
its behind the alalalala guys, you can hear it at the very end of the song a little if you listen very close. still a dumb case of copyright infringement for a texture sample lol
i just wanted the car seat headrest track review
Why do people get angry when their art is sampled, I’d be honored if Kendrick Lamar got inspiration from something I made
They get angry cuz the song makes money and they dont even though their art contributed, which makes sense they should have splits but a lot of artists stretch way too much
ud be a starving pride dude walkin round man😂u gotta get that fettucini
Gero, The Pharaoh Usually you get payed if your stuff gets sampled. Thats how it works. I love Kendrick and all but thats just stealing. If someone made something CREDIT IT. Don’t just take their shit and make profit off of it, thats scummy. I don’t believe Kendrick would intentionally do something like this tho. He probably wasn’t even aware. Thats my guess tho
demifolk I don’t even think he stole it tho. Isn’t the noise literally a part of like tribal African culture or something?
demifolk its not even similar, and its not even Kendrick performing it, its the weeknd, i doubt either of them new. Its not even similar.
Anthony has CORONAVIRUS.
You know it's just my opinion right.
Melon the composer who recorded the soundtrack for Black Panther actually went to Africa to record local artist. Pieces of the soundtrack are sprinkled troughout the Black Panther collaboration album. The sound you hear therefore cant be sampled from the Sunset song.
Funny how the beginning of Sunrise sounds like the beginning of Like a Prayer.

"some of the allegations here seem quite silly, a little preposterous"
- Anthony Fantano in court for his sexual abuse case
Sexual abuse is a legitimately painful topic for some people. Why would you joke about this?
The only common thread that's evident to me is the timbre and the minor seventh chord-- seemingly voiced in root position, but the vowel being stressed in both respective tracks are different. Hopefully they aren't trying to do something as headassy as trying to copyright a chord or texture.
hey now melon thought you could edit out you hitting that marijuana cigarette vaporizer pen at 3:14 did'ya?!

It sounds like it was edited and remixed to sound like the hiyahiyahhiyah sound on Pray for Me which starts at 1:54 and then really noticeable at 2:12. Thats so crazy they picked that up. 👀 lowkey deserve some money from whoever sampled them without notice. Ok I actually watched the rest of the video and yes I do believe its close enough for them to win. That vocal edit is one of the distinguishing characteristics of the song and is why i really like the song so the Yeasayers do deserve money if they can prove audio engineer wise that the vocals are in essence identical.
Irrelevant rock bands will due anything for clout. First, they continue to sue a man that just died in juice wrld, and now they are suing two of the biggest artist in the world for a song that is on the soundtrack of possibly the biggest movie in 2017
Its funny because you can hear Lyn Collins (Think) drums in Yeasayers Sunrise song.
I sometimes think these lawsuits are ridiculous we're in an age with so much art with music you have big music companies helping artist make music most of its gonna sound similar it's very hard to make things sound completely unique.
Cover the new car seat headrest song
It is the same chord being sung using harmonized male voices. And there is certainly a tremolo type effect on the whole sound in Pray for Me that could be used to make the sample sound different from it's original source. To me however, it doesn't sound like the same voice singing both parts. In Pray for Me it sounds like the Weeknd's voice and the vowel is different.
