_.Kanye West's unreleased track, tentatively titled "Highs and Lows," has stirred controversy for its unauthorized use of a sample from Pomme’s 2019 song "Soleil Soleil." The French singer-songwriter expressed her disapproval on social media, revealing that she did not grant permission for her work to be used in the song. Pomme has been vocal about her objections, citing major political and ideological differences with Kanye West. She specifically mentioned her discomfort with West’s political stances, which she views as fundamentally incompatible with her own values. This incident has sparked conversations about the ethical and legal aspects of sampling, particularly when an artist’s work is tied to someone whose views they oppose. For Pomme, the issue is not just about intellectual property rights but also about protecting her artistic integrity and the broader message her music conveys. The controversy underscores the importance of consent in sampling and the challenges artists face when their work is used in ways that clash with their personal or political beliefs.
