UPDATE 9:58 PM | Joke’s on us! Alison Wonderland really was just kidding about the new song coming… at least sort of. “This was a joke to do with sans song being called light!” she tweeted at us. “I do not have a song called light coming. But I will have a new song. Soon. Just not LIGHT haha.”
The 36 hours have been newsworthy for San Holo for all the wrong reasons. Yesterday, it was brought to our attention that Chris Lake & Lee Foss’s new song “Lies, Deception and Fantasy” contained a chorus 99% identical to that of San Holo’s mega-hit “Light.” Today, now that the song is out, Lee Foss has commented on the similarity in response to a fan on Instagram.
However, out of the darkness shines a light (pun intended) in the form of San’s friend Alison Wonderland. She backed up his feeling on Twitter, saying, “ANYONE giving you hate for how you feel about those song lyrics doesn’t understand songwriting or publishing. Hopefully it’s just accidental but I COMPLETELY understand why you feel how u do today. Love u.”
It’s a nice and supportive sentiment to be sure. But also, at the end of her tweet, she announces that she too has a song called “Light” and it’s coming out next week! Alison has already dropped two singles in 2019, “Lost My Mind” with Dillon Francis and her solo original “Peace.”
@sanholobeats ANYONE giving you hate for how you feel about those song lyrics doesn’t understand songwriting or publishing. Hopefully it’s just accidental but I COMPLETELY understand why you feel how u do today. Love u. Ps my new song “light” comes out next week
