Pitchfork • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Charli XCX’s management clarified that only a small number of tracks on her album Wuthering Heights contain fragments from earlier sessions, and all such use was formally approved and credited in writing before release.
- The clarification responds to Sky Ferreira’s recent social media comments suggesting her old demos feature more prominently on the album than credited, though Ferreira did not fully dispute the management’s explanation.
- Ferreira revealed she signed a new label deal in 2025 after a restrictive Capitol contract that hindered her career for over a decade, and she is re-recording some of her previous songs since she does not own the original recordings.
- Charli XCX’s management emphasized her extensive songwriting career and fair crediting practices, highlighting a thorough review process involving all relevant parties before finalizing Wuthering Heights credits.
- Pitchfork has reached out to representatives of both artists for additional comments amid ongoing discussions about the album’s songwriting credits.
