Producers Suniel Fox and Henry Strange, who perform as electro-house duo Epikker, claim the 2018 track is &#8220;strikingly and\/or substantially similar, if not identical\u201d to their track &#8220;Vibeking,&#8221; created in 2015 and as-yet publically unreleased. The suit goes on to highlight the similarities between the songs, including &#8220;respective lead guitar and vocal hooks, including melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic elements,&#8221; used without their consent.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            &#8220;Both works are in a 6\/8 meter that is less common in popular music. Both works are played at a similar tempo. And both works use features of electronica, ambience, pop, hip-hop, rock, and R&amp;B to achieve a particularly atmospheric and melancholic sound,&#8221; the suit reads in part.<\/p>\n<p>            The pair claim they sent the song to The Weeknd&#8217;s DJ and engineer PNDA back in 2015, who reportedly passed on positive feedback from the Toronto star. Fox and Strange are seeking the song&#8217;s profits, their legal fees, and to prevent the Weeknd from performing or distributing the song until a verdict is reached. The lawsuit also names The Weeknd&#8217;s label Universal Music, stakeholding publishers, performance-rights organizations, and streaming services with the song in their catalog as defendants.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            &#8220;Call Out My Name\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared on The Weeknd&#8217;s chart-topping mini-album <i>My Dear Melancholy<\/i> and peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Sajae Elder<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
