DecemEarlier in August, Frank Ocean s third studio album Blonde dropped online and accompanied by the physical Boys Dont Cry zine, which was available for free in select cities. Ocean is seeking a “judicial determination” that the defendants don’t own any portion of the copyrights to the songs, and an injunction preventing them “from any further misrepresentation that they co-wrote Plaintiff’s music.” Defendants did not contribute any lyrics, melodies, or music that would give rise to any claim of authorship by Defendants in the Compositions or the ASCAP Compositions.”Īlso Read: Frank Ocean Scolded by Judge During Legal Battle With His Father “Plaintiff has never written any compositions with Defendants,” the suit states, adding that the songs “were written well before Defendants, or any of them, rendered any services whatsoever in connection with any of the masters. Christopher Breaux (born October 28, 1987), known professionally as Frank Ocean, is an American singer, songwriter, and rapper.He has been described as one of the greatest songwriters of his generation, and is recognized for his idiosyncratic musical style, introspective and elliptical lyrics, and wide vocal range. However, the suit says, Keith and Analog Genius refused to sign an agreement containing a provision acknowledging that they hadn’t written any of the songs, and later instructed their publisher to file registrations with ASCAP, “falsely claiming that they had co-written” 11 of the songs. The agreement covered a dozen songs, including the “Blonde” tracks “Godspeed” and “White Ferrari,” none of which the defendants wrote or co-wrote, according to the suit.Īlso Read: Frank Ocean Wins Libel Lawsuit Filed by His Father Singer Frank Ocean has filed a lawsuit alleging that producers on his “Blonde” album are wrongfully claiming co-authorship of songs from the 2016 collection.Īccording to the suit filed Tuesday in federal court in California, Ocean entered into an oral agreement with Om’ Mas Keith and the Analog Genius Corporation in 2014, stating that they would produce tracks for the album in exchange for a flat fee per master recording. ![]()
