Same key

On Sonalize’s other-version check (a cover-song model), this pair is no closer than chance (distance 2.14; other versions of a song in these comparisons have a median of 0.31, different songs that sound alike 1.27, random pairs 2.95).

Why this pair

This is a pair from a copyright dispute that was decided or settled. Public background: groove / feel and signature phrases (composition only; no sample); Jury for Gaye estate 2015; 9th Cir. affirmed 2018 (Williams v. Gaye). Sonalize's scores are measurements, not a view on any dispute.

How this was measured

Compared from the full recordings; Sonalize's fingerprint lookup confirmed both songs. The same engine runs in the Sonalize app on your own device. A score measures how alike two recordings are; it isn't a finding about copying, legal advice, or a rights clearance.
