The new single, Herlaþing is out now worldwide on all digital media stores!

The title, Herlaþing (pronounced Herlathing) is the Old English name for The Wild Hunt which is present in thefolklore of various northern European cultures. Wild Hunts are led by a mythological figure escorted by a ghostly group of hunters engaged in a pursuit. The leader of the hunt is often a named figure such as Odinin Norse legends, Woden in Anglo Saxon legends, but could also be a historical or legendary figure like Theodoric the Great, the Danish king Valdemar Atterdag, the Welsh mythological king Gwyn ap Nudd, or even the Devil. One Northumbrian local legend speaks of the Wild Hunt appearing at Haltwhistle and over Hadrian’s Wall. Herlaþing is the 1st single from the upcoming studio album, Se Scriðe of Þæs Tinan (The Course of the Tyne)

The lyric video is available here👇👇👇

#Repost from @amirarasool using @nextgrabit .. This morning, it came to my attention that musician @TaylorSwift is selling merchandise to go along with her new album #Folklore. She is currently selling merchandise with the words #TheFolklore printed on them. Based on the similarities of the design, #Amirarasool believes the designer of the merch allegedly ripped off her company's logo. She shared her story NOT to bring light to the trend of large companies/celebrities copying the work of small minority-owned business owners but to get free pity advertising in the wake of all the systemic racism movement, forgetting all the passes blacks got under a decades long program meant to advantage them called #AffirmativeAction. Under this program, even tho I scored #1 on a promotional civil service exam, I would have to wait several years to gét my much deserved promotions while BLACK MEN who did not have the intelligence to score in the top 10 got promoted ahead of me because they were BLACK, so donnez moi a break. AND, I am sick & tired of the misappropriation of African heritage because we have light skin because we are from No Africa (Malawi, Morocco, Algeria, Mauratania, etc), & the only Africans that seem to count are from central Africa. In researching loudmouth @amirrasool's claims, while I found several holders of trademarks of some form of #Folklore, none come back to the big mouth trouser, least of all #TheFolkloreAlbum, so she should really StepOff & #STFU I am not going to let her nasty ass go unchecked. plundering & théft appears to be a black african art form at the expense of white Africans. .. #insta_grabit #nextgrabit @nextgrabit https://www.instagram.com/p/CDUoeYpnUTN/?igshid=uhmla5wm1ils

i think they are changing from 'the folklore' to folklore on merch because a black owned business TheFolklore already exists and posted about this, clearly angered and disappointed in the resemblance ( @amirarasool on ig)

thank you, anon!!! this is super helpful :)

Z, I am struggle posting a link here so, on insta I read a comment about swiffer. And it seems her and her team stole the logo of the company @ thefolklore own by Amira Rasool @ amirarasool And it's pretty much the same logo.

Yes. I also read her fans are attacking a critic for not drooling all over the album and crawling up her ass and pitching a tent. They’re sending death threats and trying to doxx her posting at her address and phone number. They really are the worst people.

Caption: Our second #TFObservations subject is 32-year old, Nigerian-Canadian artist, restauranter, and influencer, Folasade Adeoso (@lovefola). Her page is a collage in its own right--a mix of her artwork, which tackles religion, human interaction, pop culture, ethnography, motherhood and childhood using complex graphics and images of black and brown bodies both famous and not. The New York City-based resident owns and operates #Teranga, one of the city’s few conceptual West African(-esque) fast-casual eateries, and maintains a successful career as a collage artist and muse. Both her culinary pursuits and artistry draw from her textured interpretation of what it means to be #WestAfrican and her observations about the global #Africandiaspora.

Alongside new album folklore, Taylor Swift recently released an array of coinciding merch items. One of which, a nod to album track ‘cardigan’, was an officially branded cardigan with a logo that read ‘the Folklore album’.

However, it’s since been raised that the logo on the cardigan bears a similarity to the logo of online clothing store The Folklore, which specialises in “exclusive styles from Africa and the diaspora’s top luxury and emerging fashion brands.”

//

Late last month, the company’s founder Amira Rasool took to Instagram to point out the resemblance.

“Based on the similarities of the design, I believe the designer of the merch ripped off my company’s logo. I am sharing my story to bring light to the trend of large companies/celebrities copying the work of small minority-owned business owners. I am not going to let this blatant theft go unchecked.”

In response, the cardigan in question has since been updated to no longer include the word “the” on its logo, and Swift’s team has since issued a statement to Good Morning America.

//

“Yesterday, we were made aware of a complaint that the specific use of the word ‘the’ before ‘folklore album’ on some of the folklore album merchandise was of concern. Absolutely no merchandise using ‘the’ before the words ‘folklore album’ has been manufactured or sent out.

“In good faith, we honored her request and immediately notified everyone who had ordered merchandise with the word ‘the’ preceding ‘folklore album’ that they will now receive their order with the design change.”

Rasool has since responded, saying she commends Swift’s team for “recognizing the damage the merchandise caused” to her company.

“I recognize that she has been a strong advocate for women protecting their creative rights, so it was good to see her team is on the same page.”

“It was a great first step and we are in conversation right now with Taylor’s team about the next steps to make this situation right,” Rasool added in a follow-up tweet.

Swift has since responded to that tweet personally, saying she admires the work Rasool is doing and is happy to make a contribution to her company.

It was a great first step and we are in conversation right now with Taylor’s team about the next steps to make this situation right.
