Nice!
Why didn't they make Alessia Cara's song sound like this originally?!
I suspect the lyrics may have originally been written to the Portishead song but recording comes with a LOT of politics - even if the artists are both nested in companies owned by the same top level (UMG) there must be many layers that could either block that from happening or just decide it's best not to release it that way due to either creative or financial reasons.
I think artists can't sample another song AT ALL without permission, so they must have had permission to use that sample anyway
both songs sample Ike's Rap II by Isaac Hayes, so it's possible that the production wasn't even really inspired by Glory Box that much if at all. It could have also been inspired by Hell Is Round The Corner by Tricky, which ALSO sampled the Isaac Hayes song shortly after Glory Box came out. None of the three songs manipulate the sample very much.
That's awesome, I did not know this!
It's a very complicated legal environment as you are probably well aware
