Sleigh Bells sued Demi Lovato for copyright infringement

The group claims that their track title “Stars” is similar to their song “Infinity Guitars”. “Indeed, they failed to even notify Sleigh Bells that they meant to exploit Sleigh Bells material to create a Demi Lovato song”.

When Demi Lovato’s album Confident came out previous year, Sleigh Bells accused the pop singer of sampling their songs “Infinity Guitars” and “Riot Rhythm” on the bonus track “Stars”. Do you think their similarities warrant a lawsuit?

Demi Lovato has been touring the country with Nick Jonas and reaching new heights with her motivational role model status and singing a hit after hit.

“The sonic qualities of portions of “Infinity Guitars” and “Stars” are at least substantially similar”, the complaint reads.

Miller and Krauss are the guitarist and singer of Sleigh Bells and claim to have written “Infinity Guitars” as part of the debut album “Treats”, released in 2010.

At the time, the song’s producers – Falk and Yacoub – released a statement to Billboard, denying they’d sampled Sleigh Bells. The lawsuit adds that the two songs are “virtually identical content” and that they surpass the reason of coincidence.

‘Demi was also not involved with the production, she only wrote top line’. In Demi Lovato’s case it may have come to bite her on the butt.

Sleigh Bells first accused the former Disney starlet of swiping their tunes previous year after Lovato’s song was released, but didn’t file the lawsuit until now.
