Lion Heart 15,041 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Adele's 25 shattered album sales records, topping the charts immediately after the British vocal powerhouse released it on Nov. 20. However, as the world revels in what fans consider an emotional candidness from the 27-year-old songwriter, some Kurdish listeners are saying Adele's "Million Years Ago" is actually a work of plagiarism. Twitter didn't seem to know how to react when a flood of tweets came pouring in earlier this week from Turkey and the surrounding region, using the hashtag #AhmetKaya to shed light on the allegations. Critics say "Million Years Ago," a slow-paced melody off 25 in which Adele sings about returning to her hometown and feeling out of place and touch with those she once lived with, sounds all too similar to Kurdish singer Ahmet Kaya's "Acilara Tutunmak," which translates to "Clinging to Pain," according to the Independent. "I condemn Adele for stealing a song sung by Ahmet Kaya," one response from a Twitter user in Istanbul, loosely translated Wednesday, read. "What would happen if a singer from our country stole Adele's song? Let's think about it." http://mic.com/articles/130063/did-adele-plagiarize-on-new-song-million-years-ago-some-kurdish-listeners-believe-it#.KKTmuT8vx ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
