HeyBlueBaby 3,330 Posted April 21, 2023 I don't care for Halsey at all but she's obviously in a way better spot than Sky and has actually been consistent and built a fanbase plus her last album was well received by the critics so she definitely has options I'm sure. And coming for her for using songwriters material is a bit eeeek when outside of Manic their credits are largely the same...and hasn't Sky been called out for her involvement in her own music before... 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She’s not putting out the chart friendly songs anymore. Sky probably could make better use of 25 million if she doesn’t blow it all on crack. you know who else's music has become pretentious garbage... when was the last time someone streamed downhill lullaby ?? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, someone has to SO But Sky basically pretended to have written Everything is Embarrasing. Dev Hynes (who really wrote it) shaded her by playing the demo at a show, basically exposing her lie. In her old videos she definitely played up her song writing until that happened. I guess she learned to not say too much. I only kind of forgive her because she was super young and naive, and it seems she and Dev made up anyway. I dont doubt that songwriters and producers do most of the work for like 90% of our popstars, either. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm waiting for the late night TV ad where they've pooled their weekly allowances and hired Sally Struthers to come out and hit us with a "For just 2$ a week, you can help feed this elusive underfunded artist, who is being held captive by an awfully oppressive record label. Every night, they bring her to an underground room, where she's forced to witness the masters she recorded that day thrown into a wrestling cage with 18 screaming macaques. When they're done ripping the tapes and shattering the hard drives, she's made to sweep up the pieces. If she does it quickly, her manager lets her have 18 minutes of screen time on her phone. She uses it to cryptically tweet old photos, hoping it will drum up enough noise to appease label execs. When she's done, she sleeps on a concrete slab. A small bottle of Jimmy Choo "Illicit" sits next to the air vent, reminding her of a branding partnership from a different time. While she sleeps, a goblin bleaches her roots." ....I don't know where this creative writing exercise came from but I hope I took you all to a place. 13 Quote 🎶 Art decorates space, but music decorates time 🎶 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evalionisameme 13,888 Posted April 22, 2023 There’s no tea on the writing end- no co-writers have stated she’s ever taken credit without due process except Blood orange stating it was annoying for her to act like she wrote the entire song when if you listen to the demo I think there’s one or two slight line rewrites by her. Eclipse found writers melody demos which is a typical thing for people who may consider themselves lyricists or have a half completed melody like sky and need it fine tuning by a professional for release. In other cases these are made for people who demo their songs but can’t give a good stylistic vocal take and so someone will reference it for them so they can copy the singing style which works. Even writing professionals like Mariah Carey have done this 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was she pulling a Halsey ~I wrote this song by myself~ ? Sure. But it doesn't matter. Dev got his credit and he gets royalties from the song at the end of the day. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
