Teletubby 65,110 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Robin S. found out about Beyoncé sampling 'Show Me Love' via social media. The house music legend has claimed she wasn't contacted by the megastar's team to clear the sample of her 90s' megahit on 'Break My Soul'. Speaking on 'Good Morning Britain', she said: “It doesn’t have to be confirmed. A singer knows her songs. “My son called me and he’s like, ‘Mom, mom, you’re trending all over the place! Beyoncé put her song out and it’s ‘Show Me Love’ and you’re trending everywhere!” However, she is honoured to be featured on a track with the former Destiny's Child star. Asked if she'd like to collaborate with Beyoncé, she replied: “That’s always [the] dream.” Robin added: “This message goes out to the Queen Bey - herself - Beyoncé, to Jay-Z, to the entire team. Thank you so much for giving me my flowers while I’m still alive. “I am honoured and I’m excited to see what else can happen.” source Reveals when?? Results when?? Do we have all submissions??

Bat 3,640 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Doesn't surprise me at all, would've been a small kind gesture picking up your phone and notifying someone if your sampling their iconic hit 7 9 Link to post Share on other sites

PawsUpJago 1,699 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) Wow she was so gracious about this. What an ignorant thing to do from Bey and her team. This doesn't sit right with me at all, I guess I'm not sure if she's missing out on royalties from the instrumental sample (I'm a bit clueless on the technicalities?)

Robin is not credited as a songwriter. Beyoncé's record label reaches out to the writers of the song and they get the check and clear the sample. She is not using her voice. She is using the beat. 14 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Helxig 32,239 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 They think because she's Beyonce and everyone loves her that they can take whatever they want Robin better at least be getting her royalties I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Gaga2645 606 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 The Beyonce hate is so ick and trying to mask it by implying she’s unkind is even bigger cringe lol 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites

McFarlane died a few years ago so the credit was probably cleared with his family. Robin S didn't write the song so there was nothing to clear with her. 13 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Reginald 11,098 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) This gives me conflicted emotions, I'm glad she's happy, though. Show Me Love is one of the genre's timeless classics Edit: and I hope she's getting her fair share of royalties Edited June 23 by Reginald 1 Link to post Share on other sites
NATAH 8,062 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) kinda shady, you'd for sure want to let the main arist know regardless of their credits just from a moral point of view. she may have no legal power but it's also her song she worked on and would appreciate knowing Edited June 23 by NATAH mother, what must i do? 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I didn't realise that. The way the article is written it sounds like it was her song that they used without letting her know prior. 34 minutes ago, Teletubby said: claimed she wasn't contacted by the megastar's team to clear the sample of her 90s' megahit on 'Break My Soul'. 34 minutes ago, Teletubby said: A singer knows her songs. Unless we already knew off the top of our heads exactly who had what credits and blah blah blah then how were we to know I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.
