Ok I understand the rage and Corinne’s version is absolutely stellar and iconic and definitely deserves the recognition, but at the same time how many covers have had success that matched or eclipsed their originals? Its not like its his fault for wanting to cover a song and then it becomes a hit...

I mean the description of his video is literally: 

[ This is a cover of Corinne Bailey Rae's 2006 smash hit!!!!! Please go listen to that first, here's the link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjOhZ... ]

so idk where this claiming it as his own is coming from. 

In the interview quoted in one of the tweets too:

What is it about “Put Your Records On” that made you want to cover it?

You know the songs that you just have memorized your whole life? It was totally one of those songs for me. My mom really loves that song — around when it came out, she’d play it all the time. It reminded me of writing in the back of my mom’s minivan and a much simpler time. It has always been the epitome of a joyful, hopeful song for me.

Blame tik tok i guess, not everyone can be expected to know every song that is not from their generation of music

That's why I'm glad people are pointing it out, f*ck TikTok
