"New single Collide accused of plagiarism" reads this article on STV Entertainment.
According to the piece her new single 'Collide' produced by Sandy "all my songs must have the word 'Girl' in them" Vee, sounds like the new Ministry of Sound track 'Penguin' by Avicii.
Already this last month we've seen Cher Lloyd taking Gwen Stefani's 'Hollaback Girl' and adding 'My Darling Clementine' to it (see my previous post) and in the past year even Coldplay have been accussed of stealing tunes for 'Viva La Vida' (unfairly in my opinion in this case). So, is there any truth in this accusation that she's copied 'Penguin' - begging the questions, is it a flap over nothing or will she be getting a large bill...
... Sorry for the penguin jokes... if you can call them jokes!
Leona Lewis - Collide
[On a separate note it's a weird song for her to sing and I'm not entirely sure it's that good, but I digress!]
Avicii - Penguin
Well in my opinion they do sound very similar and I think there well may be a case, though whether it's intentional is another question entirely as it could be coincidence. Again, though, the riff is a very simple one and it wouldn't surprise me if something else appears soon that sounds similar.
Yes, they are very close - whether it's intentional or plagiarised, not sure...
But, whatever, that Penguin track is annoying... talk about the same thing over... and over... again...
