Some fun facts about the
8Bit Heart album.
Several references in four songs on the album;
●in "Diablo" the beginning line mirrors
Kelly Clarkson's
"Since U Been Gone" but followed by "but this is not a Kelly Clarkson song and not how it ends".
in the same song, a line from
"If U Seek Amy" by
Britney Spears is copied before Curtis realizes "oh wait, this song isn't mine".
●in "Beat Drop" a clip from
Lady Gaga's
"Bad Romance" is used as backing vocals on the last line of the second verse.
●the operatic singing comes from the second aria of the Der Hölle Rache from the Magic Flute. Extracts from an interview with former KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov in 1985 are used as an intro and outro for "Brainwash".

"The Dark Crystal Overture" is also heavily sampled on the track "The Dark".
