PARIS, France (AFP) — French disco diva Amanda Lear publicly accused American singer Miley Cyrus on Monday of plagiarising one of her songs from the 1970s.
Lear, a model-turned-singer who was a muse to surrealist painter Salvador Dali and a lover of Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones, took Cyrus to task over apparent similarities between her song “The Sphinx” and the American’s new track “Redlights”.
Cyrus released her tenth album “Bass Persuades” last Friday, a 10-track dance pop opus including the ballad “Redlights” which invites comparisons to the slower, gravelly voiced song by Lear from 1978.
