"So insane"
Sheryl Crow against song release after her death
Whether it's Prince, Freddie Mercury or, most recently, the Beatles: songs and albums by deceased artists are being released posthumously time and time again - now also with the help of artificial intelligence. US rock singer Sheryl Crow (62) is already resisting this during her lifetime.
"I have paid lawyers to ensure that my art, my voice and my likeness remain in my grave and are not dug up," Crow told the German press agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur.
"If I didn't release songs, it was for a reason"
"It's so crazy what you have to think about today to protect your life's work after your death," said the singer. She had also taken precautions in case unreleased songs were discovered in her estate.
"I have stipulated in my will that no demo recording of mine may be released after my death so that others can make money from it." There is also a simple reason for this. "It's like this with my music catalog: if I didn't release songs, it was for a reason. I wasn't happy with it or wasn't completely behind it."
The multiple Grammy winner ("All I Wanna Do", "Soak Up The Sun") is releasing her eleventh album "Evolution" this Friday, the single of the same name deals with the effects of artificial intelligence.
