Melbourne, Australia – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have found themselves at the center of a plagiarism controversy surrounding their latest album, “Wild God”.

Music critics and fans have taken to social media to point out the similarities between the two songs, with many calling for Cave and his band to address the issue.
