Ed Sheeran’s hit song “Shape of you” was created “from scratch” at ‘extraordinary speed’ this has been claimed by the producer Steve Mac in the dispute of the High Court over the copyright of the “Shape of you”. This news is breathtaking that such a song that hit on the next level was made from scratch. Steve McCutcheon who is the record maker, made a joke of “Shape of you” and also said that he was only left with a massive headache in the session in which the song was written back in 2016.
Sami Chokri and Ross O’Donoghue have claimed in the High Court that “Shape of you” has been copied and had ripped the parts of their song “Oh why”. And locked, Mr. McCutcheon, Ed Sheeran, and John McDaid who is a co-author of the song, in a legal battle. Which has been denied by them later in the High Court dispute.
Mr. Chokri and Mr. O’Donoghue also claimed that “Oh why” and “Shape of you” both the songs are strikingly the same. They have rejected the claim above the “Shape of you” saying that “Shape of you” was not made from a scratch over about two to three hours at Mr. McCutcheon’s wet London Rockstone Studios. The argument has arrived that Ed Sheeran arrived with preconceived ideas.
The High Court in London took the witness in the witness box who was Mr. McChuteon. He said that the case is not about the money but about clearing my name, on Thursday. Also claimed that working with Ed Sheeran on “Shape of you” was an extraordinary experience for him. Also, he has cleared the narrative or expression of him that he left with “a massive headache at the end of the day” as like “It was the first time I had written with anyone like this. This was an extraordinary and incredible experience for me”.
The producers of the song “Shape of you” also claimed that they didn’t even hear the name of the song “Oh why” before such litigation. Also claimed that the makers or producers of such song “Oh why” have no reason to find both these songs similar and has been copied its elements in “Shape of you”. Mr. McCutcheon said, “He always creates totally original songs, unless he feels, in a particular case, that it would enhance a song to use a reference to another work”.
