The Weeknd has been accused of ripping off an electro house duo for his track “Call Out My Name” off the 2018 EP 'My Dear Melancholy.'
According to the lawsuit -- which was filed Sept. 17 -- the two tracks have the same time signature and similar tempos. The “Vibeking” writing duo also claims that even though the songs have different key signatures, they have otherwise identical hook melodies based on their scale degrees. The rhythm of these hooks are also identical, the lawsuit claims, and are played or sung over top the minor first and minor fourth chords of their respective key signatures.
By April 29, 2015, PNDA told one of the “Vibeking” writers that Tesfaye had replied “shits fiiiire” to emails containing the track. Again, on May 15, 2015, PNDA told one of the writers that The Weeknd did listen to “Vibeking” and commented “it’s fire,” reconfirming his note from a few weeks before.Next, PNDA wrote to Strange, saying “Just gonna tell [The Weeknd] that our production team wrote the track.
