LANA DEL REY LEAVING RADIOHEAD “HIGH AND DRY”

For the last few months, there has been a heated lawsuit that was affecting the music world. Radiohead sued Lana Del Rey over writing credits on her Lust for Life track “Get Free.” The songs were pretty similar so it was a case that took a few weeks to fully work out.

Listen to the similarities here if you haven’t already:

This Sunday at the Lollapalooza event in Brazil, which Lana was performing at she announced that her lawsuit was over. During her encore, while performing, “Get Free” Lana lit a cigarette and stated,

“Now that my lawsuit’s over, I guess I can sing that song anytime I want, right?”

Watch her performance here:

Radiohead’s publishers stated:

“As Radiohead’s music publisher, it’s true that we’ve been in discussions since August of last year with Lana Del Rey’s representatives. It’s clear that the verses of ‘Get Free’ use musical elements found in the verses of ‘Creep’ and we’ve requested that this be acknowledged in favor of all writers of ‘Creep.’ To set the record straight, no lawsuit has been issued and Radiohead have not said they ‘will only accept 100 percent’ of the publishing of ‘Get Free.'”

Overall this lawsuit has been so confusing and attracted bad publicity for both the artists. I don’t get why they keep releasing different statements because I thought that Radiohead was pursuing the lawsuit. There is so much drama in Hollywood. I am glad that Lana gets to sing her song again because it was one of the highlights of her album. We can’t really un-hear the similarities in both their songs, so I wish that Radiohead would have won this lawsuit. I don’t think anything can take down Lana Del Rey that this point in her career.
