ESAI & Pure 100% - Nebula (Cyberpunk 2077 89.7 Growl FM)

I might be able to shed some light on why it seems like this song disappeared. I'm not affiliated whatsoever with the artist who made this song but I've been making music for 14 years and I have a pretty good guess as to what happened. The instrumental itself is completely original, it was definitely made from scratch by the artist himself. However the vocals are royalty free vocals from a sample pack (I happen to know because I have the exact same sample pack) There's nothing wrong with doing this, a lot of artists will buy royalty-free vocals to put in their songs because they don't have the money to hire a singer or they're not good singers themselves, and I've used vocals like that for hooks on songs and selling beats to people. However the vocalist on this particular sample pack happens to be a somewhat famous artist. Singers especially will do vocal packs like this with one of the requirements being that they are not credited in the song. From what I can see they did not credit the song to her, however some vocal packs do have restrictions on the way that you can use the vocals even in original productions. I don't feel like digging around my samples to find the exact license for this one, but it could have had a clause where you can only use the vocals if you maintain 100% of the original composition and do not license it to other people, or some packs even have separate clauses for music in TV Shows, Film, and Video Games. So my main guess is that they didn't read the licensing carefully enough and the song was requested from either the distributor or the vocalist themselves to be taken down either permanently or until they could reach a different agreement. Sorry that this was super long but I've seen this before so I figured I would throw in my opinion lol

People seem to think it's samples from 'Moon and Back' by Avilon that are the problem, no idea if it's correct or not.

[@onimushatherapper]

​@@liaminwales that song uses the exact same vocal pack that they used in this song. Since the vocals are royalty free, they would both have the right to use those vocals in their own respective songs. Rights get messier when it comes to being licensed by larger companies, which may have given CDPR problems even if ESAI & Pure 100% purchased the license legally from the sample company.

Great insight, thank you

[@psyedk]

"royalty-free" sample packs are only "royalty-free" until your release gains enough attention true story :(

[@SKYL_raw]

OMG , this might be the answer to the question I had, three month ago, when I saw that this banger dissapeared. Even though it's a guess, and not a proved theory, it makes so much sense, so thank you for this comment !

[@JonnyBoy803]

So upset this song got removed from the game. It was my favorite of all stations😩

[@psyedk]

[@daghaggmark1764]

[@slappy11376cp]

[@fabiodlx]

@@TheXboxData Going to Heaven's still there, bud.

[@Tooreg]

[@Aelzarel]

[@batomano]

sad but its true

[@HolyApplebutter]

Well that sucks, this was one of my favorites from Growl FM.

[@Ralius-sv7nz]

​@@HolyApplebutterseems it was not an origonal song.

[@HolyApplebutter]

@@Ralius-sv7nz Yeah, I've seen. Sampled pretty heavily from "Moon and Back" or whatever, assuming it actually was sampling and not just lifting it wholesale. Still, one of my favs.

[@snobaste]

The reason it might have been removed could be due to it not being an original song. See "Moon & Back" by Avilon.

[@SKYL_raw]

Did they stole the voice or """"just""""" the lyrics ? Thank you for sharing this info, even though it's not 100% sure, that's the reason, but that's an huge possibility

[@Bears5056]

Oooh... oh yeah... I def see why

[@kalinakaze2261]

@@SKYL_raw its not stolen, the lyrics dont belong to avilon. its from a royalty free sample pack, thats also the reason why it got removed. the person who did the samples is MYLK

[@PhilipReeve-f4p]

No idea why this song got removed from Growl FM radio with the most recent patch. This was my fav song after 2.0

[@ciagangstalker]

unreal banger

[@traugaming6411]

Banger

[@SebHollyLight]

It was my favorite song in the game since the 2.0 😢

[@genesishandboards]

Why do i like this and miss it so much? 😂

[@kaygsucks]

cause colorbass is awesome

[@HeyKyle]

Why is there no mod to reintroduce this song back into the game? First time I’ve been disappointed in the modding community 😂

[@DangerDave157]

Someone finally got around to it.
