sipthistea 21,099 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Last week, Iggy Azalea released a new single called “Savior,” a bubbly track featuring Quavo that interpolates Lisa Stansfield’s 1989 hit “All Around the World.” The song received a Super Bowl ad placement and was met with a relatively warm reception—surely a relief for Azalea, who saw her 2017 singles (“Switch” and “Mo Bounce”) flop so badly that her sophomore album Digital Distortion was called off altogether. Azalea needs a savior herself, but the story of her new single is far from simple. Ahead of the song’s release, fans noticed an unexpected name listed in the songwriting credits: Lukasz Gottwald, a.k.a. Dr. Luke, who’s become a public pariah in the years since since Kesha accused him of rape and abuse in 2014. Once the most celebrated songwriter and producer in the world, Luke has essentially been exiled from pop music, logging only a few minor credits in 2017 on songs by artists like Ne-Yo, Trey Songz, and Big Boi. When questioned by a fan who first spotted Luke’s name in the “Savior” credits available on Tidal, Azalea distanced herself and her new song from the disgraced producer. “It’s produced by [Cirkut] and another kid MHL who have production agreements with Luke,” she wrote in a now-deleted February 1 tweet, which was captured by the blog That Grape Juice. “Their deals and who they are tied in business wise in no way make ME ‘working’ with Dr Luke. Try again.” Azalea’s clarification amplified news of the alleged mistake, which subsequently found its way to outlets including Pitchforkand Idolator.

TheJoanneJoker 3,866 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 As I've read, she didn't interact with him at all and didn't work with him, he's credited because he has some ties with the label or some sh*t like that, I dunno stop dragging people for no reason at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOPS22 4,202 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 We all know Savior is an old song. She could have produced it before Kesha's scandal and is legally required to include him in the credits. She doesn't support him. If you follow her on Twitter, you'd know she's a huge activist of women's rights. "The only prisons that exist are ones we put each other in."

Arturo 40,746 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I mean if she’s saying the truth then its no different than Dr Luke still getting money from Kesha’s new stuff right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTCRAWLER 6,985 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Drag me I don't care, it'd be foolish to disagree that he's an amazing and really talented producer. I know what he did as a person is disgusting and I'm against all of this. But he already was convicted for what he did (I guess?) so we shouldn't be hateful. he's just doing his work I repeat dont get me wrong, I'm totally against everything he did toward Kesha and he won't be forgiven for this, but that doesn't change the fact that he's a hell of a songwriter.

River 117,090 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 lol excuses, even if she didn't actually sit next to him and worked on this song.. he's getting money every time you stream it.. so you either boycott this song and don't give Luke royalties, or you give up on what you believe in and listen to this song.. simple.. So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
