UK singer Eddy Grant is consulting his lawyers to consider filing a lawsuit against the Gorillaz for substantial damages over allegedly plagiarizing a song. The singer insists that the band?s new single ?Stylo? has the same keyboard riff from his 1983 track ?Time Warp?. Eddy even suggests that the group?s leader Damon Albarn is completely aware of the theft. Eddy said ?Damon Albarn knows in his heart of hearts – it’s unfortunate that we can?t get into people’s hearts – he knows that this is a song that he’s loved, in his club days? I don’t know the guy? but he knows this is a song he loves.? It?s not too far of a stretch, considering that both artists are under the same publishing company.

Executives at Universal have just about had it with Amy Winehouse. The label threw away lots of money so the singer could return to St. Lucia and finally record her promised follow up to ?Back to Black?, an album that the label has been waiting years for Wino to record. They had about enough of her antics when they found out that instead of dedicating time to the new record, Wino has been in the studio with Damon Albarn?s virtual rock project Gorillaz. A source said ?Imagine how they felt when they realized she had agreed to work with Gorillaz? They couldn’t believe it. It’s an unnecessary distraction. They think she should invest all her energy in her own music. She should be knuckling down and delivering the goods.?
