Breakbot shared Bruno's new song on his Facebook wall. Most of his fans said it sounded a lot like 'Baby I'm Yours' and Breakbot even posted the logo of recycling in the post.
Later on: "To those who think that it's just a coincidence, or that "we are both inspired by the same artists", let me just tell you that Bruno asked my label if he could cover "Baby I'm yours" a few months ago and we said no. Then he recorded "treasure". To be perfectly honest, I'm not mad at all, if anything I am rather flattered that someone selling millions of mp3s is interested in my music."
Bruno Mars - Treasure
Breakbot - Baby I'm Yours
oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
ReplyDeleteOh please! Check out Mida's Touch by Midnight Star - came out way earlier than Breakbot's Baby I'm Yours.
ReplyDeletemeh. I don't think the similarities between Mida's Touch and Baby I'm Yours are as strong as the similarities between Baby I'm Yours and Treasure. Also, the latter two were released in the same era, and one group asked the other for permission and proceeded to do what they wanted to anyway after being turned down.
DeleteI would agree, that the similarities are much closer between treasure and baby im yours. If you felt so inclined you may get away with calling Baby Im Yours a style parody of Midas Touch, But I don't hear the same sample like Bruno mars clearly jacked.
DeleteFirst time I heard Treasure I thought it was a breakbot song.
ReplyDeleteI honestly laugh so hard when Bruno fans call it a coincidence, it clearly isn't.
ReplyDeleteWhy wouldn't Breakbot let Bruno cover it in the first place? It would have been great exposure for him and a compliment.
