The revelation of Carpenter and Leray’s collab comes around a week after Carpenter’s interview with Billboard on March 10, 2023. During the interview, she confirmed she was working on a remix of ‘Nonsense’ with another artist but didn’t reveal the artist’s name.

Sabrina Carpenter almost scrapped ‘Nonsense’

During the same interview with Billboard, Carpenter revealed that she had hit a mental wall during one of her sessions for her 2022 album Emails I Can’t Send. She had to get outside of her head.

Around two hours later, she and co-writer Steph Jones created ‘Nonsense.’ However, she didn’t believe it was important as she wasn’t sure if the sumptuous rhythmic-pop track fit with the tone of her album. Besides, she almost left the song out of the album.

She stated, “That laid-back approach is what I think actually made it special.” But thankfully, she released ‘Nonsense,’ which initially didn’t receive the response it went on to get later on. The song eventually latched on, and Carpenter was prompted to release multiple versions.

Speaking about the sped-up version of ‘Nonsense’ she released, she said, “There’s something addictive about hearing a song sped up. It gives it new life and more energy.”

Likewise, Carpenter later released a holiday version of the song on streaming platforms which also became a hit. On January 4, 2023, she delivered a highly choreographed performance during Jimmy Kimmel Live! and performed a TikTok dance routine.

Besides Emails I Can’t Send, Carpenter has already released four studio albums. They are Eyes Wide Open (2015), Evolution (2016), Singular: Act I (2018), and Singular: Act II (2019).

Despite her pleas to law enforcement, citing her son was involved in car break-ins, a prevalent form of street crime in Atlanta, she received little assistance.

Deerica said, “I tried, y’all. I called the police office almost 30 times in the last two years, and they told me they can’t do nothing. I said he’s out and breaking into these folks’ cars, can you please get him off the street.”

On the other hand, Cameron’s family remembered him as a teenager with a passion for science, animals, cooking, and dirt bike riding. He had also been practicing boxing since the age of nine.

Additionally, according to 11Alive News, the shootout occurred on the 17th Street Bridge originated from two groups initially escorted off the Atlantic Station property due to unruly behavior and curfew violations.

Atlanta Police later confirmed their belief that the shooting was gang-related. However, Zyion’s family denied his involvement in any gang activity.

Indie artist Noelle Sucks has voiced serious concerns over potential plagiarism, asserting that Olivia Rodrigo‘s recent Saturday Night Live (SNL) performance has striking similarities to her own previous work.

Sucks took to Instagram to share her perspective, stating, “I am pretty sure my art got stolen and put on Saturday Night Live for Olivia Rodrigo’s most recent SNL performance. I just want to know what you guys think after I show you some facts.”

The base of her argument lies in a side-by-side comparison of her music video called ‘YOUR MOM CALLS ME’ from a few years ago with Rodrigo’s SNL performance, both centered around a “tea party gone wrong” concept that transitions from calm and pretty to angsty.

Sucks meticulously pointed out resemblances, emphasizing identical dance moves, such as cake smashing, sugar pouring, and hand gestures, performed by both herself and Rodrigo and their respective dance crews.

Notably, she also underscored the similarities in camerawork between the two videos, suggesting a potential replication or inspiration.

Furthermore, Sucks realized both she and Rodrigo’s creative director, Tarik Mikou, have a mutual friend who had publicly shared Sucks’ music on social media.

Sucks’ friend commented, “@noellesucks!!! This guy stole the Your Mom Calls Me music video concept from u.”

Additionally, her other friends, suspecting plagiarism, commented on Mikou’s Instagram accusing him of wrongdoing, which was later swiftly deleted.

Upon messaging her concerns on Mikou’s Instagram, Sucks faced no reply. Moreover, Mikou unfollowed their mutual connection and remained unresponsive to Sucks’s direct message on Instagram.

The controversy’s curiosity grew as fans joined the discussion and voiced their dissatisfaction over the alleged plagiarism. A fan remarked, “the unfollowing and limiting of the comments told me everything I needed to know.”

Another fan added, “the unfollowing and limiting of the comments told me everything I needed to know lmao.” “Wowww. I’ve seen other artist I know get ripped off by her team before. So messed up,” another comment read.

Brief bio on Noelle Sucks

Noelle Sucks emerges as a distinctive force in the music scene, defying easy categorization with a unique blend of indie, shoegaze, pop, and rock that creates an emotional soundscape, as per herofficial website.

Born into a musically talented family, Noelle’s artistic journey took a pivotal turn after a life-altering brush with death at the age of 13 during a major surgery.

Raised with deeply spiritual views by her parents, the absence of any heavenly visions during this near-death experience challenged and reshaped her long-held beliefs, prompting a profound transformation in her perspective on life.

The recovery period from her surgery, though sidelining her from traditional schooling, became a catalyst for Sucks’ creativity. During this time, she began conceptualizing music videos for existing songs and discovered her passion for editing homemade videos.

The newfound interest propelled her towards film school, and eventually, a return to music was sparked by a significant breakup at the age of 23, inspiring her to create her first song.

Describing her early musical endeavors as a process of “catching up,” the artist filled in the gaps from the years she spent immersed in film and other pursuits.

Her musical career took a significant turn with the release of her ‘Out of Orbit’ EP in 2022. Her ability to traverse difficult emotions through her music was demonstrated in the EP, which delved into the complexities of emotions resulting from a breakup with her friend group.

Notably, her connections nurtured at Emo Nite, an event central to her personal and artistic growth, have come full circle with her signing to Emo Nite’s new label, Graveboy Records.

The debut single ‘Ugly Ugly,’ released on September 22, 2023, stands as a significant milestone.
