A beat that transcend beyond boundaries. Mindanao's beloved singer and "Queen of Bangsamoro Pop," Shaira, is set to reclaim the spotlight as her hit song "Selos" makes its comeback on streaming platforms. The recent takedown of "Selos" sparked discussions surrounding copyright concerns, particularly its resemblance to Australian artist Lenka's 2008 track, "Trouble Is A Friend."
Acknowledging the similarities, Shaira and her agency, AHS Productions, swiftly initiated talks with Lenka's team to secure a cover license for "Selos." These conversations paved the way for the song's imminent return, with no legal repercussions faced by Shaira or her production team.
In a heartfelt video shared on her Facebook account, Shaira expressed gratitude to her supporters and emphasized the significance of this resolution not only for her but also for fellow Bangsamoro artists and the Filipino community at large.
"Selos" enthusiasts can now rejoice as the song prepares to once again grace their playlists. Shaira's journey highlights the importance of legality in acquiring cover licenses, ensuring that artists can share their talents without legal constraints.
Amidst the negotiations, Shaira also took a moment to extend her appreciation to Lenka, whom she regards as an idol. The smooth communication between the two camps underscores the importance of respectful collaboration within the music industry.
As "Selos" returns to the airwaves, fans eagerly anticipate experiencing its captivating beat once more. Through adherence to legal protocols and respectful engagement with fellow artists, Shaira continues to inspire with her music, fostering a community of creativity and collaboration.
Lenka's catalog, which includes hits like "The Show," "Heart Skips A Beat," and "Everything At Once," serves as a testament to the power of musical expression, transcending geographical boundaries to captivate audiences worldwide.
As Shaira's journey unfolds, her resilience and dedication serve as a beacon for aspiring artists navigating the complexities of the music industry. With "Selos" back in action, the stage is set for Shaira to share her unique sound with an even broader audience, spreading joy and inspiration one melody at a time.
