FIFTY FIFTY released the OST for the movie “Barbie” amid a contract dispute with their own agency Attrakt.
On July 21st, Warner Music Korea said, “The original soundtrack ‘Barbie The Album’ of the movie ‘Barbie’ was released on the same day as ‘Barbie’ premiere”.
According to Warner Music Korea, pop stars Sam Smith, Lizzo, Ava Max, PinkPantheress, GAYLE, Tame Impala, The Kid Laroi, HAIM, and Khalid also participated in the original soundtrack album.
The album was co-produced by artist & producer Mark Ronson, who has won 7 awards at various awards ceremonies, such as Oscars, Golden Globe, Grammys, etc., and Greta Gerwig, the writer, director, and executive producer of “Barbie”.
FIFTY FIFTY stands out among the names on the performer lineup. Warner Music Korea is currently in charge of FIFTY FIFTY’s overseas distribution.
Earlier, Warner Music Korea was reported to have proposed a 20-billion-won buyout to The Givers during the dispute between FIFTY FIFTY members, Attrakt and The Givers. In this regard, both Warner Music Korea and The Givers refuted it, saying “The rumor is groundless”.
Meanwhile, FIFTY FIFTY filed an injunction against Attrakt to suspend their exclusive contract and the lawsuit is still ongoing. In the process, Attrakt accused The Givers CEO Ahn Sung Il, who produced FIFTY FIFTY’s hit song “Cupid” of being the external force that caused the dispute. However, Ahn Sung Il denied the allegation.
In the end, Attrakt sued three individuals, including CEO Ahn Sung Il, on charges of fraud and breach of duty. In addition, Attrakt later filed an additional complaint for charges of embezzlement and forgery of documents.
