Following my post earlier today, I got a reply from a reader who pointed this out to me:

Three tracks, three artists, one producer, same song.

All three tracks produced by the same producer and they line up perfectly. Of course this is nothing new, Linkin Park has gotten spanked for making the same song over and over again. Can you call it a clone song if it’s the same artist?

My father’s father often commented on my dad’s music that it was all ‘the same beat’. My dad has commented today’s music is all the same beat. Maybe it’s a sign I’m getting old that I’m noticing this too. But then again, when had pop music ever not been about recycling the same ideas over and over again? Right, Warhol?
