This is a stupid precedent. Lots of pop songs sound alike!

i feel like the record label realized some of the huge influences in her album and panicked, and decided to cover their asses

[mayjailer]

had hayley or anyone else in paramore even commented on this?

[stewie_e]

I don’t think so.

lol olivia's label ain't shit if that's the case, giving in to pressure from... fan comparisons on the internet?

[euraylie]

Maybe the Paramore team reached out to them behind the scenes

[mathkills]

I... don't know if this is necessary. And at the same time, if they're going to be setting this precedent, they should probably credit Brutal for sounding like a knock off of Pump It Up

Almost every song on Sour sounds like another song.

[mathkills]

ITA, and I really don't think it's necessary to credit them all for sounding like something else. It's okay to be inspired by other music!

i was gonna say this album reminds me of just about everything sleigh bells puts out.

Never realized that song writing meant instrumental too
