I like Arika Kane because she has not only a beautiful voice, but also her passion for music, unique personality and individuality are worth getting to know her better. I can relate to Arika because she sings what she feels from her soul and I feel that way every-time I write with a purpose. I can only have respect for the Connecticut native.
Arika music also comes with great life lessons, including her 2nd studio album Substance, which goes through the stages of removing unnecessary distractions from everyday life and honing in on whats truly important and meaningful. I absolutely love that her music focuses on women approaching life in a positive light.
Music is the bedrock of my existence. – Arika Kane

The music industry today is all about making money and not creating original music. The lawsuit case music has its eye on is Marvin Gaye Estate vs. Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke for the song Blurred Lines.
Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke made over 5 million dollars each from the 2013 hit pop song Blurred Lines, but now they are dealing with an ongoing copyright infringement lawsuit because Marvin Gaye’s family claims the song is very similar to Marvin Gaye’s Got to Give It Up. The stakes are high for Robin Thicke in this lawsuit – including taking money from his touring salary ( Robin Thicke made nearly $12 million dollars from tour earnings while publishers made $8 million) and any money he makes off the song.
Marvin Gaye’s family believes they deserve 50% of the music royalties for Blurred Lines, including mechanical royalties (the profit publishers make for record sales and performance rights).
How profitable was Blurred Lines? Numbers don’t lie and those numbers were magnificent for a single.
Here is the break down:
As of year to date, Blurred Lines has earned $16,675,690. Out of that figure Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams earned over $5 million dollars each. As for rapper T.I, he earned over $700,000. The rest of the earnings were split between Williams’ label Star Trak , Interscope Records and Universal Music Group.
The average profitable lifespan of any music record is 18 months.
What is Fromgirtogirl’s stand on the Blurred Lines lawsuit?
I have a great deal of respect for Marvin Gaye and Pharrell Williams. I enjoy the music of both artists. Marvin Gaye’s music is timeless. Pharrell Williams music is usually catchy but I wouldn’t say its timeless. There is a good chance Pharrell did take some inspiration from Marvin Gaye. I don’t believe in originals. There is nothing new under the sun. Most people make a business profit not because they reinvent the wheel, but they give it a different twist and make it easier for people to relate to that twist off of an original.
I believe some if not all the lawsuit will drop in court because the structure of the song differs a bit from Marvin Gaye’s Got to Give It Up: the harmony patterns are different, the lyrics have no similarities, and the melody and rhythm are not mirrors of Got to Give It Up. Not to mention, common music patterns are on both songs – that doesn’t mean a copy right infringement.
The final decision will take place in a federal courtroom in downtown Los Angeles.
You be the judge. Listen to both songs below, let us know your thoughts:

Max started composing and recording at the age of 10 using instruments such as the flute, harmonica and a drum set made of plastic and cardboard boxes. From there Max took up music lessons for instruments such as the drums, piano, guitar, bass and voice. Creating original songs and instrumentals became a way of life for Max.
By the year 1998, he created the website maxsongsclub.com where he started recording 1 new original song or piece every 2 weeks and made his musical art available for download.
The years 1999 he became a percussionist for the West-Island Youth Symphony Orchestra performing in the Montreal area in Quebec ( Canada), in the province of Ontario and in France. 2001, Max arranged and played the synth on Philish’s song “ Grilled Cheese” which got into the CIBL’s French Top 40 in Montreal.
As a drummer, Max formed a band with the Philish called “ Philish et Ses Pantoufles” performing in many clubs and festivals. A CD recorded in 2003 for which many tracks played on the CIBL and CISM FM radio stations in Montreal.
