Listen below: ❤️🕵️ The unusual sequence (of facts) of ‘Lovezinho’: 📝 In July 2022, WK created an arrocha with the melody of “Say it right”, by Nelly Furtado, in the chorus. 🎤 He called Treyce to finish and record “Lovezinho”. But it didn’t break out right away. 🕺 In early 2023, the track became a phenomenon, thanks to a video by the dancer Xurrasco. 👱‍♀️ 👱🏽‍♂️ Treyce and Xurrasco appeared at the carnival (and even discovered that studied at the same high school in Bangu, in Rio, but had never spoken). 📧 🚨 After the carnival, Nelly Furtado received a notification from Treyce and WK. Now the musicians are negotiating a division of copyrights. Nelly Furtada? Treyce is 17 years had already been successful in Rio with the songs “Vai malvadin” and “Me chama de amor”.

WK tells g1 he heard that the idea started with an arrochadeira base, a more danceable variation of the Bahian arrocha. They were looking for a reference to the melody. “We found the chorus of Nelly Furtado’s song, and I modeled it”, says WK, owner of the studio Barulhando Tudo, in SP. And how did he start with an arrochadeira in 2022 and end up in a Nelly Furtado song from 2006? “I looked for references in songs that were important and touched people’s feelings and emotions, and I was able to identify this one by Nelly”, says the composer. “Say It Right” was released on the album “Loose”, a successful career turning point. She threw herself into R&B and danceable rhythms, with the signature beat of Timbaland. On this disc are the only two songs of her career that were No. 1 on “Billboard”: “Say it right” and “Promiscuous”. Compare ‘Lovezinho’ and ‘Say it right’ ‘Lovezinho’ open WK doesn’t get upset with the need for agreement. “For me it’s essential that it has. I’m open to negotiations. And it’s good for me to know that the music has already reached her and Timbaland. It means that my work has spread”, says the 43-year-old composer, also co-author of ” Faith”, by Iza. “There has already been a first contact from Nelly’s editor”, he told the podcast g1 heard. “Warner will do the negotiating for me,” says WK. “Like other remixes that were made, these agreements are always made for the amount of 20%. It would be fair, because I only took the modeling of the chorus. And if you were to translate her song and take what I did, there is nothing to see one song with another,” he argues. The percentage cited by him is the same as another famous case in which Brazilians used a foreign melody without authorization and then left 20% of the authorship of the forró “Coração Dog” to the Englishman James Blunt. Who manages Treyce’s part in the composition is the publisher M13. g1 spoke with Mailson Ribeiro, owner of the company. He confirmed that the deal is being done, and he also sees no problem in leaving a part of the rights to the authors of “Say it right” for the melody of the chorus. WK, main composer of ‘Lovezinho’ Disclosure / Instagram of the artist Long sequence… As each song has several authors and companies that represent them, negotiation is not simple. According to the publisher Sony, the company takes care of 50% of the copyright of “Say it right”. The rest is managed by Warner and Peermusic. The shares that each composer has of the rights for the music are negotiated by them when the work is registered. The split ratio between Nelly, Timbaland and Danja for “Say it right” was not reported. In the initial recording of “Lovezinho”, WK stayed with 80% of the copyright, and Treyce, with 20%. g1 also tried to contact Nelly Furtado through her agency in Canada, but had no response.
