Just randomly found this artist on Spotify. I thought she was relatively popular because her songs aren't bad at all, but I was surprised when I saw that she's only got a few thousand views. Definately recommend it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UFb_PkEBmE

Yeah she is pretty cool. She had an album out last year and it's not bad. Her first EP is still the best, though. Also features the best headgear.

I've had this on repeat for several hours. It's not even a single.

I LOVE Tove. Her songs "Borderline" and "If I'm Loud it Doesn't Mean I'm talking to You" and ... tons of others are on repeat for me too.

I'm on mobile so I can't link the video, but look up Comeback Queen by Ruby Frost. Very similar vibe to Tove Stryke and Queen of Hearts.

Yeah that seems like a dick move. It's a pretty common chord progression and I didn't really hear the similarities until someone pointed it out.

"New Romantics" sounds like an indie rock song from last year that's escaping me at the moment.

edit: I think it was the chorus of Echosmith "Cool Kids".

I don't know, there surely are *some* similarities, but the melodies certainly aren't "almost exactly the same". Some fragments where the vocal line ascends are, but even there the variations in speed and rhythm make this whole lawsuit laughable. The fact that both songs are so different in feeling and arrangement adds to that. It's not a Oasis/Neil Innes situation where it seems that both songs start out exactly the same.

Sorry, if your shocking comparison video starts with "well, if we speed this one up and pitch it up a whole lot, and then slow this one down and pitch it down", I'm already sighing. But point taken, Petty's verse and Smith's chorus are similar. I still think it's not enough for a credit, but I guess that's not for me to decide.

1989 seems like she's trying out different singers' styles to see what fits. Bad Blood is Katy Perry, Blank Space sounds kinda like Lorde, Out of the Woods is obviously Bleachers/Fun., Style is no one in particular, but it's super synthy, and I'm sure there are more.

She even popped up a signature T-Swift song in How You Get the Girl.

Even if they are similar, I still don't understand how that should mean Smith owes Petty money. There's no loss of earnings, it's not like teenage Sam Smith fans would have been buying Tom Petty records were it not for this 'rip off'.

I guess intellectual property law is just fundamentally hosed up

Exactly! I can only imagine how many people could have sued Tom Petty if they were shitheads. I liked Tom Petty before this, but his music is greatly indebted to the people who did everything he did before he did it.

It's a piece of JUNK!
It's a very strong similarity, not just the chords but most of the melody. Anyone who can't hear it needs their ears checked. Still, I think a lawsuit is completely unnecessary. Or at the very least, completely uncool.

Taylor Swift's music video for Style was released today (or yesterday?)

She rly is killing it with this album - apparently its sales have far surpassed that of her previous album Red, and that's been out for a bit over two years now. Crazy stuff.

I like Style a lot, and Taylor's videos are usually pretty good even if I don't like the songs themselves, but yeah, this feels a bit weak. It kind of reminds me of a watered-down Teenage Dream, which is not the direction I expected her to go in.

Also I don't know if she counts as pop (especially with this album) but Florence + the Machine released a new song as well, with a video that's more than a little :nws::
