JOTA

About five months late, but sure 😄

At first it sounds like a DnB track like Disconnect, I’m curious to know who is behind the production.

I prefer Poppy Baskcomb’s voice without so many effects or heavy pitching, because it makes her sound almost unrecognizable. I much prefer how her voice sounds on tracks like So Many Colours by Sub Focus or “Can't Wait” with Tiësto. Her natural tone and emotion come through much better there.

Not even on Beatport does there exist an extended version longer than 2:17

I hope “Hands On Me” was just a teaser for Becky Hill’s return to the music scene, and that some kind of top-tier collaboration is about to drop. 🤣

The new track from Jax Jones dropped this week, with a clear UKG sound, and it appears to be a self-release.

Looks like the title wasn’t updated and the file name was left on YouTube becky_hill_hands_on_me_final.mov 🤣

Honestly, the record doesn’t bring anything distinctive and comes across as an outtake from previous material. ☹️

His latest track with Illyus Barrientos deserved more attention.

@danG Well, I hope everything is OK. They likely don’t need Sybil’s direct permission, as long as the master rights were properly licensed by the CircoLoco label. I used ChatGPT for the full explanation, also applies to similar cases in the music industry. 🎧 The Free Your Mind caseIn “Free Your Mind” by Prospa, vocals from Sybil are used, taken from one of her earlier recordings. What you noticed: The songwriters are credited ✔️ Sybil does not appear publicly on platforms ❗ And yes — that can be legal. 🔑 Why isn’t Sybil credited publicly?1. It’s likely a licensed master sampleIf Prospa obtained: A master license (for the recording) A publishing license (for the composition) 👉 Then they are legally allowed to use the vocal. But: Listing Sybil as “feat.” is not mandatory It depends on the agreement with the master owner 2. Sybil may not control the masterVery common with older recordings: The record label owns the master The singer doesn’t control reuse She may still get paid, but not visible credit 3. “Legal credits” vs “display credits”Full legal credits (metadata, rights societies, etc.) may include her Streaming platforms only show selected credits 👉 So: Her name might exist in backend metadata But not as a visible featured artist 4. This is not interpolationThis appears to be: The original audio (a sample), not a re-recording So: Master rights are required Songwriters are credited Performer credit is optional publicly ⚠️ Is it legal?✔️ Yes — if the sample is properly cleared ❌ No — if the vocal was used without permission In a commercial release like this: 👉 It’s almost certainly fully cleared 🎧 Can master rights be seen in the credits?✔️ 1. In full industry creditsIn professional databases (such as: PRS for Music ASCAP Discogs 👉 Yes, you can usually find: Who owns the master Licensing information Technical details (ISRC, etc.) ❌ 2. On Spotify / Apple Music (what the public sees)Usually you only see: Main artist Sometimes songwriters Producers 👉 But: ❌ The master owner is usually not clearly shown ❌ Sample licensing details are not displayed 🧾 3. What you can sometimes seeIn some cases you may see: “℗ 2024 [Label Name]” 👉 That ℗ symbol indicates: Who controls the master recording rights ⚠️ ImportantEven if you don’t see: The original singer Or sample clearance details 👉 It doesn’t mean it hasn’t been licensed It just means that information is not public or is simplified on streaming platforms.

Probably this Friday, or at the latest the following one. Why the hell has the title been changed and those >>><<< added?

credits according youtube preview clip (available at midnight) Producer, Programmer: Neave Applebaum Mixing Engineer: Geoff Swan Mastering Engineer: Matt Colton Vocalist: Becky Hill Composer Lyricist: Becky Hill Composer Lyricist: Neave Applebaum Composer Lyricist: Karen Poole Composer Lyricist: James Hurr Composer Lyricist: Kanata Okajima

It’s a bit odd seeing him as the only one credited on production, especially since most of his previous tracks hits had other producers and well-known collaborators involved, which helped give them a more polished sound. And like I said before, there’s no sign of any mainstream labels anymore. credits: Joel Corry, MainArtist, Producer, Programming - Rahh, MainArtist, Vocals, Lyricist, Composer 2026 Joel Corry under exclusive license to SoundOn
