Videos : The Weeknd : Belong To The World


Videos : The Weeknd : Belong To The World

Portishead must have gotten some kind of response from the Weeknd's camp on the issue of his new song "Belong to the World", which sounds a whole lot like Portishead's "Machine Gun".

"Seems The Weekend have said there is no sample used or enough likeness to Machine Gun to warrant any infringement....or credit," Geoff Barrow wrote on Twitter this morning. Which means the Weeknd, after being denied permission to sample the song, might have just recorded a very similar-sounding beat.

The Weeknd's camp has not responded to our request for comment. Watch the new video for "Belong to the World", the song in question:
