Unbelievable: Kanye West’s Latest Album ‘Vultures 1’ Pulled From Apple Music – Find Out Why!
Welcome to Music Nation 365, where we bring you the latest updates in the music industry! Today, we dive into the tumultuous journey of Kanye West’s new album, “Vultures 1,” as it faces challenges in remaining on streaming services.
Shortly after the release of his collaborative album with Ty Dolla Sign, Kanye West found himself in a sticky situation as the album was removed from Apple Music and iTunes. However, thanks to Label Engine stepping in, the album made a swift return to the platforms, with the company reportedly taking charge of distribution.
According to FUGA, the distribution service initially involved in the album’s release, West uploaded “Vultures 1” to DSPs through an automated process, despite FUGA declining to distribute the record previously. Now, FUGA claims to be actively working with streaming platforms to have the album removed from their databases, with it already being taken down from the iTunes Store and Apple Music.
In a statement to Variety, FUGA explained their stance on the situation and shared that they are working to remove “Vultures 1” from their systems in collaboration with their DSP partners and the client involved.
While FUGA was managing distribution, challenges arose with sample clearances in the album. A track that interpolates Donna Summer’s 1977 song “I Feel Love” without permission was pulled from Spotify, bringing attention to copyright infringement issues. It was also noted that other artists like Ozzy Osbourne raised concerns over unauthorized sampling in the album.
With distribution now reportedly shifting to Label Engine, the album’s journey continues to be marked by controversy and challenges. West, now an independent artist, faced difficulties in finding distributors due to his controversial remarks, leading to delays in the album’s release.
As fans and critics alike observe the developments surrounding “Vultures 1,” it remains to be seen how West will navigate the obstacles and controversies surrounding his latest musical endeavor.
