On Saturday, August 12, SoundCloud removed Guyanese Singer/Songwriter and Record Producer Simeon Browne’s new single “Fall For You” from its website, sighting copyright infringement as probable cause.

According to an informant close to Browne, SoundCloud removed the single and stated that it was owned Wondamang Productions.
“He received a mail stating that the single he uploaded to his personal SoundCloud page was owned by Wondamang Productions”. Wondamang Productions is actually the label Browne is signed to and which worked with acts such as C4, Franale and Ruqayyah Boyer in recent times.
Browne seems unphased by the noise this has produced, saying “it’s a matter of miscommunication”, where he uploaded the single to his personal page as opposed to it being uploaded by the company’s SoundCloud page and failing to state credits and rights of the said song.
In April of this year, the label/production house Wondamang Productions signed a major deal with Digital Distribution Giant Zojak Worldwide, a company which is also responsible for the digital distribution of music from recording artists such as Vybez Kartel.
“Fall For You” is the second single from an upcoming album; it’s a breezy pop-house fusion with dance hall influences, generic to Browne’s style of music. The song was written, composed and performed by Browne and produced by his brother Abraham-JashBeats-Browne at Wondamang Productions.
