French singer Amanda Lear publicly accused American pop star Miley Cyrus on Monday of copying one of her songs from the 1970s. The model-turned-singer, known for her association with artist Salvador Dali and her relationship with Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones, took issue with the apparent similarities between her song "The Sphinx" and Cyrus's new track "Redlights."
Cyrus's tenth album, "Bass Persuades," was released last Friday, containing the ballad "Redlights" which bears a striking resemblance to Lear's 1978 composition. In a social media post on Sunday, Lear expressed her gratitude to Cyrus for acknowledging the similarity, while urging the public to recognize it as a case of plagiarism.
She stated that she never threatened legal action or retaliation over the matter. The singer, who has produced over 20 albums, emphasized that her actions were simply to bring attention to the issue by thanking Cyrus and highlighting her flattered response.
