The primary descendant of Herman Mellville, Moby, has said he has turned down all requests to license tracks from his 18 album for advertisments. The dance star attracted criticism when every track from his multi-million selling album Play was licensed out to advertisers to soundtrack adverts promoting, amongst other things, cars and credit cards. However, according to the Reuters, Moby said that despite numerous requests, he has turned down "everything" this time around. He commented: "The reason we licensed stuff from 'Play' was that was the only avenue we had available to us to get people to hear the music. We've had requests (to license songs from 18), but we've said no to everything." Yes, but will Moby still lend his skinny physique to Calvin Klein billboards? And will other artists whose music isn't being played enough to their liking also choose the so-called "only avenue"? Tune in for updates.
