Disclosure est au centre d’une poursuite de 364 000$. Une chanteuse du nom de Katie Farrah Sopher affirme que le duo électro lui a volé Latch, White Noise et You & Me. Trois chansons qui se retrouvent sur Settle, le premier disque en carrière de Disclosure.
La femme qui poursuit le groupe raconte qu’elle s’est fait voler un cahier rempli de chansons par son ex-copain et que Disclosure a par la suite utilisé ses chansons sans son autorisation et sans qu’elle reçoive un montant pour cela.
Disclosure a commenté les allégations sur leurs réseaux sociaux. Les deux frères Guy et Howard Lawrence nient tout ce qui est avancé contre eux. Ils avancent qu’ils prennent leur travail au sérieux et qu’ils ont toujours bien séparé les royautés des chansons qu’ils ont faites avec les artistes avec lesquels ils travaillaient, comme Sam Smith sur Latch et Aluna George sur White Noise.
Le duo confirme aussi que leur 2e album est nicely underway. On devrait donc avoir du nouveau Disclosure très bientôt.
Le message complet :
Hi all,
Just wanted to post a little something for our fans who may have read the blogs in the last couple of days and help clear up some speculation that has been circulating, to do with whether or not we wrote the lyrics to some of our songs.
Firstly we want to make it very clear that every Disclosure song we have put our names to has been written by us. We sometimes write lyrics and melodies along-side whoever the featured singer may be (i.e. Sam, Eliza etc) and the great Mr. Jimmy Napes, but that is it. When we do, we always make sure everyone gets proper credit. We take great pride in our self sufficiency, our work and the way we work, and it’s incredibly frustrating when someone tries to take that away from us, by claiming we stole even one word or one note of our music from anyone.
We’d much rather be working on more music than commenting on these type of things, but it felt like we had no choice…
So, just to be clear, all allegations made against us to do with this subject are completely false, as anyone we have ever worked with will back up. We didn’t get into this industry to steal other people’s ideas and we haven’t – we are musicians, artists and producers.In better news… Album 2 is niiiiicely underway! :)
