What's Happening?
Sky Ferreira has claimed that elements of Charli XCX's album 'Wuthering Heights' are based on her old songs. Ferreira, who was credited as a guest feature on the track 'Eyes Of The World,' suggested through Instagram comments that some music on the album was derived
from her original work. An industry insider alleged that parts of the songs 'Chains Of Love' and 'Altars' were taken from Ferreira's demos dating back to 2018 and 2015. Ferreira responded to these claims by stating she has proof of her assertions but chose not to pursue the matter further, citing her understanding of industry dynamics. Charli XCX has not publicly addressed these allegations.
