The release of Karol G’s latest single, ‘Contigo’, which was released on her birthday, February 14, was a double celebration for Valentine’s Day. However, this new song has sparked intense debate among music fans, with accusations of plagiarism directed towards the Colombian artist.
While the song has been praised for its catchy beat and message about love, many have pointed out striking similarities between ‘Contigo’ and Leona Lewis’ hit ‘Bleeding Love’.
Karol G, known for her style of reggaeton and urban music, collaborated with renowned DJ Tiësto and the video starring Young Miko in this new song, which tells the love story of two women who fall in love, by fate, are separated and eventually reunite. Young Miko in the video stars as Karol G’s girlfriend.
However, as the song gained popularity, social networks were flooded with comments from fans who noticed the resemblance between ‘Contigo’ and ‘Bleeding Love’, which was released by Leona Lewis in 2007. This led some to accuse Karol G of plagiarizing the song.
It remains to be seen how this plagiarism controversy will affect the success of ‘Contigo’ and the reputation of Karol G. But one thing is for sure, the song has been a hit on all digital platforms, already has over 12 million views on YouTube and is #1 in music trends.
As the video for “Contigo” continues to cause a sensation and reach new heights, Karol G and young Miko have caught the world’s attention with their exciting collaboration.
