Lorde Embraces ‘Clean Slate’ as Independent Artist: ‘I Needed to Take a Second’ After UMG Deal

Lorde is an independent artist. In a voice message to fans, the artist revealed that she decided not to renew her contract with Universal Music Group following the conclusion of the recording deal she entered into at the age of 12.

“I have been in that contract for a very, very long time, in some form of that contract since I was 12 years old, when I signed my first development deal with Universal,” Lorde said. “And I adore them. They’re incredible people and I had an amazing experience with them. But the truth is that a 12 year old girl presold her creative output before she knew what it would be like, and before she knew what she was signing away.”

BMG Sues Anthropic for Alleged Training of Chatbot With Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Rolling Stones Lyrics

Music rights management company BMG has sued Anthropic, accusing the artificial intelligence firm of running “roughshod over the rights” of songwriters, from Grammy-winning stars to emerging artists.

In a lawsuit filed in federal court in California, BMG claims Anthropic used lyrics from artists including Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Ariana Grande, and the Rolling Stones to train its Claude chatbot without authorization. The company claims the infringement dates to Anthropic’s founding, when it allegedly used automated scraping tools to copy text from public websites and illegal online pirate libraries.

‘Hannah Montana’ Special ‘Did Not Exist’ Until Miley Cyrus Used Dolly Parton’s Advice to Manifest It

Realistically, Disney had more than a decade to plan an elaborate anniversary special for Hannah Montana, which turns 20 this year. But after Miley Cyrus marked the show’s 10th anniversary with an Instagram post announcing that Hannah had been chopped up and buried in her backyard, the network might have assumed she would want nothing to do with bringing her back. But according to a new interview with the star, it was actually Cyrus who spearheaded the upcoming Hannahversary special, airing on Disney+ on March 24. She just had to tell a few sequined lies to make it happen.

“I just started promoting a Hannah Montana 20th-anniversary special that literally did not exist,” Cyrus told Variety in a new interview. The singer was deploying a tactic she learned from her godmother, Dolly Parton. “I learned this terrible habit — but I actually think it was good advice — from Dolly,” Cyrus said. “She told me that if you want something to happen, promote it before it exists. Then no one can say no.”
