In March, Sam Smith and Normani made headlines for reports their 2019 megahit ‘Dancing with a Stranger’ sounded real familiar to a group of songwriters – so much so the penmen took legal action against the hitmaking duo for copyright infringement.

Alleging the song was a ripoff of a 2015 tune of the same name, the writers – Jordan Vincent, Christopher Miranda, and Rosco Banlaoi (under the name Sound and Color, LLC) – even suggested Smith and ‘Mani’s Vaughan Arnell-directed music video for their now-4x Platinum tune has ‘extraordinary similarities’ to the clip that accompanies the 2015 composition.

“It is beyond any real doubt that Smith, Normani, and the other defendants copied Plaintiff’s work,” the three previously wrote. “The protected expression in both the Infringing Song and Plaintiff’s preexisting work is nearly identical and is strikingly similar.”

Five months after the accusations were formally brought to light, lawyers for Sam and Normani have fired back against Sound and Color.  Hop inside to read their response to the lawsuit.
