VTV 12,842 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Rina Sawayama Says She Received ABBA’s Blessing for Interpolation on “This Hell” Sawayama reached out to Elton John, who sent her song to the band, along with a handwritten letter from the SAWAYAMA vocalist. “I love your music. I’m happy to split the publishing,” Sawayama’s note read. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean [for] this to happen.” Just a few days after sending the letter, Sawayama received a response from ABBA’s Benny Andersson. “No problem,” the letter read. “Absolutely fine. All the best.” https://pitchfork.com/news/rina-sawayama-says-she-received-abbas-blessing-for-interpolation-on-this-hell/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahYuko 1,002 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 It's only mildly similar but I understand taking the safe route of asking them; I suppose they didn't see much of an issue either. Love ABBA, and been kind of relieved they've been protective of their music all these years, but this is far different from, say, Madonna's sampling that one time.
