As reported on Nme.com, musician Eddy Grant has stated he is going to consult lawyers after he claimed there are similarities between his song "Time Warp" and one of the latest tracks on Gorillaz' recent album Plastic Beach.
Grant said the keyboard section on his 1983 track is the same from "Stylo" which was recently released by Damon Albarn's group as a single. The musician continued on about the matter, stating that even the creators were aware of the similarities.
"Damon Albarn knows in his heart of hearts that this is a song that he's loved, in his club days," said Grant. "I don't know the guy, but he knows this is a song he loves."
Grant revealed he didn't know Albarn was behind Gorillaz until just recently and is upset that EMI, who handles both artists, did not contact him leading up to the release of "Stylo".
"It has to go back to the beginning, where it should have started with a phone call from Damon to my publisher," he said. "My publisher would have contacted me – the publisher being of course the same EMI that looks after his music."
When EMI was questioned about the matter, a spokesperson only issued the following statement.
"This is a private matter between Eddy Grant and Gorillaz, and we're not intending to make any further comment."
Noodle is a girlHokay, here's a question for you:
You know that little cartoon character that dances around in the 'Dare' video clip? Is that a boy or girl?
I say girl, but people disagree.
