Eddy Grant Angry Over Gorillaz's "Stylo"
Eddy Grant is not happy after hearing the Gorillaz single "Stylo." The "Electric Avenue" vocalist claims that the track borrows too liberally from his club favorite "Time Warp." He says in an e-mail sent to DrownedInSound.com, quote, "My song sits almost note to note with their release and is a blatant rip off. 'Time Warp' is a very popular song and has been a staple of the DJ scene for many years and I feel total disrespect from Gorillaz and their management company, especially as they are an established act."
Grant says he's also upset with EMI, who handle the publishing rights for both his music and Gorillaz. He adds, quote, "I do not blame my publishers but, the state of the industry at the current time with all labels and publishers folding into one and becoming incestuous. It's such an obvious copy that from day one the band and their management should have taken control of this situation with EMI publishing." Grant says he's hoping for an admission and apology from the group over the similarities and wants credit on the song.
