Blurred Lines este copiat dupa cantecul lui Marvin Gaye dar nu aceasta este stirea.
In depozitiile procesului devenite publice, Robin Thicke admite ca a mintit asupra rolului sau in crearea celui mai popular cantec din 2013 si ca era drogat in timpul interviurilor:
“When I give interviews, I tell whatever I want to say to help sell records.”
“Were you drunk and on Vicodin when you did the Oprah show?” Thicke was asked by Richard Busch, attorney for the Marvin Gaye side, during the deposition. His quick reply: “Yes.”
“With all due respect, I was high and drunk every time I did an interview last year.”
“I didn’t do a single interview last year without being high on both,” Thicke admitted in the above video about being under the influence of alcohol and Vicodin during all interviews in 2014.
“Do you consider yourself an honest person?” Thicke was asked during his deposition. “No,” he replied.
In martie 2015 un tribunal din SUA a decis ca acest cantec este copiat dupa “Got To Give It Up” a lui Marvin Gaye si a dispus ca urmasii lui Marvin Gaye sa primesca suma de 5.4 milioane de dolari in daune totale.
Mai jos este un mash-up cu cele doua cantece :
Ce cred eu? Inceputul are acorduri similare dar in rest nu as confunda cele doua melodii pentru nimic in lume. Eu iubesc melodia Got To Give It Up a lui Marvin Gaye si in nici un moment in care televiziunile ma intoxicau cu Blurred Lines, nu mi s-a parut ca o aud.
Nu ma intereseaza procesul dintre cele doua parti, dar ma supara faptul ca din cauza acestui proces si drepturilor de autor, eu nu mai pot gasi si asculta melodia originala Got To Give It Up -Marvin Gaye pe youtube.
Bine totusi ca Emily Ratajkowski s-a ales cu ceva din scandalul Blurred Lines si a devenit foarte cunoscuta. Merita sa o cunoastem si noi.
