Zara Larsson criticises White House for using her song in deportation video
Zara Larsson's put her foot down over the White House using her track without permission, and honestly, you've got to respect an artist standing up for what they believe in. The whole thing highlights something we bang on about here at Cledvibes Radio: your music carries meaning, and where it gets used matters. When a song ends up soundtracking something the artist finds genuinely troubling, that's a conversation worth having, and it's good to see creators having a voice in how their work gets deployed.
From BBC Entertainment & Arts: The White House removed Larsson's Midnight Sun from one of its reels after the artist called the clip "dehumanising".
