Harry Styles is facing accusations of ripping off a â70s band on one of his solo songs.
Music fans have claimed the former One Direction starâs new track âEver Since New Yorkâ bears more than a passing resemblance to Badfingerâs 1971 hit âBaby Blueâ.
Harry debuted his song during an appearance on âSaturday Night Liveâ over the weekend, which caused some chatter on Twitter.
Specifically, some pointed out a specific guitar riff that they claim sounds the same as one in âBaby Blueâ:
Badfingerâs âBaby Blueâ was also used during the final scene of âBreaking Badâ in 2013, spiking interest in it again, after its original 1971 release.
HuffPost UK has contacted a spokesperson for Harry for comment.
Harry isnât the first artist to face copying accusations, as last week $20 million (ÂŁ16 million) copyright infringement court case made against Ed Sheeran reached a settlement.
Songwriters Thomas Leonard and Martin Harrington had filed a lawsuit against Ed, claiming his song âPhotographâ directly copied former âX Factorâ winner Matt Cardleâs track, âAmazingâ.
Last month, several co-writers of the TLC hit âNo Scrubsâ were added also to the credits of Edâs chart-topping single, âShape Of Youâ, after fans pointed out similarities between the two songs.
