The record company that released the controversial party hit "Layla" is trying to generate even more support for the song and against song bans by means of an online petition. In less than 24 hours, tens of thousands show solidarity.
An online petition under the motto
In his role as hip gold, the music producer promoted the petition on "change.org" together with other artists on social media. The accompanying text says: "Against censorship! For a life after Corona! For artistic freedom!"
The song "Layla" by DJ Robin, which critics have declared to be sexist
The sexism debate about the party song "Layla" has been getting bigger and bigger for days. Even Federal Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann, a passionate amateur musician, spoke up in the "Layla" debate. "You don't have to like hit lyrics. You can even find them stupid or tasteless. But to ban them officially, I think, is one too much," wrote the FDP politician via Twitter.
According to "change.org", the initiative was on its way to becoming the most signed petition on the website on Thursday. An online petition is only symbolic. But she could bring the record company more attention to her song.
