There's a new feud in the music industry: Singer Lana Del Rey confirmed on Watch The Temptation of Kimono (2009)Saturday that alt-rock giant Radiohead has filed a copyright infringement suit, claiming one of Del Rey's song is too close to the band's breakout early-'90s hit, "Creep."

What started as a tabloid rumor was seemingly confirmed by Del Rey's tweet on Sunday afternoon.

Specifically, it seems the controversy surrounds Del Rey's song "Get Free," which is a cut from her latest album, 2017's Lust for Life.

Give both tracks a listen below and see what you think.

Yeah, those verses sound reeeeeaaaaaally similar. Maybe that's why Del Rey claims to have already offered the band a settlement, one she claims its lawyers have rejected.

Adding a twist to the new suit is the fact that, as noted by Consequence of Sound, Radiohead was originally sued for copyright infringement for "Creep." Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood won a suit against the band for infringing on a song they wrote for The Hollies back in the 1970s.

Yep, that sounds pretty familiar.

Time is a flat circle, etc.

Mashablereached out to Radiohead; the PR firm Murray Chalmers, which claims Radiohead as a client; and Universal Music Group, parent company of Del Rey's label, Interscope, for further comment.
