#293 - News With Nick | Sound Advice, Pt 2 Chick Corea | Sam Fender & Newcastle
At the top we have confirmation of a new album by Mars Volta, and speculation of something new from Radiohead. Then, Tempo Music Investments recently acquired a quarter interest in Bruno Mars 2012 song “When I Was Your Man.” The company is now suing Miley Cyrus, claiming exploitation of their copyright for her Grammy winning 2023 hit song “Flowers.” Cyrus claims she wrote it for her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, who reportedly dedicated the song to her in the past. Cyrus’ lyrics seem to respond to the chorus of the Mar song. Does that entitle the new copyright holder to a cut? Apparently that’s for a hurry to decide.
