Defense attorneys argued that it was impossible to believe that 27-year-old Lipa heard “Wiggle” before writing “Levitating”.
Faella agreed, but said that the plaintiffs alleged “just enough facts” to argue that the songs were so “stunningly similar”, including sharing a “repetitive rhythm” and “signature melody”, That Lipa must have copied him.
“The Court cannot preclude the possibility of the plaintiff proving a striking resemblance to meet the undoubtedly high threshold,” Faila wrote.
Jason Brown, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said in a statement, “They have the utmost respect for today’s artists but if their material is used there must be proper attribution and compensation. We look forward to finding and bringing this case to trial.” Ready to take it.” ,
