‘Hello’ Trouble: Adele Faces Copycat Claims

Over 1 million U.S. music lovers picked up a copy of Adele‘s new single ‘Hello.’

Unfortunately, the singer has been accused of copying another number to create it.

Copycat claims below…

Fans of the artist Tom Waits have slammed the singer because they believe her song is dangerously similar to the number ‘Martha’, released in 1973.

The singer’s fans claim that the ’21’ singer may have borrowed ‘Martha’s theme to build ‘Hello‘ sees Ms. Adkins call a former loved one to reconnect and discuss the past.

‘Martha’s story? A man who calls a former lover with hopes that she’ll agree to meet him following their split.

The comparisons have proved to be problematic for the singer because ‘Hello’s producer recently revealed that Waits had inspired the material on her new album ’25.’

He told ‘EW‘:

We talked about Tom Waits, and different storytellers like that. I think that was the idea, that we wanted to do something that was very honest about where she was at right now, and she wanted to do something that was real and believable.
