Robbie Williams reacts to Olivia Rodrigo song comparisons
Robbie shared a statement on Instagram, revealing that he loved Olivia and thinks it was a small accident.
He wrote: “I love Olivia Rodrigo. It seems to me that she may have stumbled upon one of my musical echoes in one of her new songs. And you know what? I don’t care.”
“I don’t know if there’s technically a publishing issue, a copyright issue, or no issue at all. And I don’t want to know. I’m not picking on her. Because I think at some point some damn reason has to prevail,” he continued.
Robbie Williams explained there are only so many musical notes and chords
He added that there are only a “limited number” of chords and musical notes, and that artists “inevitably end up somewhere where someone else has been.”
Robbie shared: “Real theft is real theft. Artists deserve to be protected. But there’s a difference between protecting your work and treating every vaguely familiar sequence of notes like a winning lottery ticket.”
“We all stand on the shoulders of those who came before us. Sometimes consciously. Sometimes without even knowing it. If we continue to punish people for accidentally arriving in a place where someone else has already been, we will eventually scare off everyone’s creativity,” he added.
Robbie Williams then revealed a message for Olivia Rodrigo directly
“Olivia, if you’re reading this, I think you’re really awesome,” he wrote.
He then jokingly asked her to stop swearing so much on stage, saying, “It makes me feel like I have to keep up. And frankly, I already swear way more than I have to. Much love and Merry Christmas.”
