The album "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke, featuring T.I. and Pharrell Williams, was released in 2013. The album was a commercial success, but it also received criticism for its lyrics and perceived objectification of women.
In 2013, the estate of Marvin Gaye, the legendary musician and songwriter, filed a lawsuit against Thicke and Pharrell Williams, alleging that "Blurred Lines" infringed on the copyright of Gaye's 1977 hit "Got to Give It Up." The lawsuit claimed that the melody, harmony, and rhythm of "Blurred Lines" were strikingly similar to those of "Got to Give It Up." robin thicke blurred lines ep flac link
