Nekidan se vijest o tužbi protiv braće Disclosure proširila internetom kao virus, a danas je dan za širenje njihovog odgovora na optužbe, kao i vijesti o njihovom novom albumu.
Katie Farrah Sopher optužila ih je da su stihovi njihovih pjesama ‘Latch’, ‘White Noise’ i ‘You & Me’ ukradeni i da su njezini, te ih traži novčanu odštetu. Krivi bivšeg dečka tvrdeći da joj je ukrao bilježnicu s pjesmama i prodao ju putem svojih kontakata u glazbenoj industriji. Disclosure su putem vlastitih kanala na društvenim mrežama odgovorili na optužbe negiranjem uz uvjeravanje javnosti da pjesme pišu sami. Za kraj su najavili da je njihov novi album na putu, a izjavu u cijelosti pročitajte ovdje:
‘Just wanted to post a little something for our fans who may have read the blogs in the last couple of days and help clear up some speculation that has been circulating, to do with whether or not we wrote the lyrics to some of our songs.
Firstly we want to make it very clear that every Disclosure song we have put our names to has been written by us. We sometimes write lyrics and melodies along-side whoever the featured singer may be (i.e. Sam, Eliza etc) and the great Mr. Jimmy Napes, but that is it. When we do, we always make sure everyone gets proper credit. We take great pride in our self sufficiency, our work and the way we work, and it’s incredibly frustrating when someone tries to take that away from us, by claiming we stole even one word or one note of our music from anyone.
We’d much rather be working on more music than commenting on these type of things, but it felt like we had no choice…
So, just to be clear, all allegations made against us to do with this subject are completely false, as anyone we have ever worked with will back up. We didn’t get into this industry to steal other people’s ideas and we haven’t – we are musicians, artists and producers.
In better news… Album 2 is niiiiicely underway!’
