Finn Keane Talks Retiring EasyFun Name After Legal Issues, His New Compilation Album and Working With Ariana Grande on Charli XCX’s ‘Brat’ Remix: ‘It’s Unreal’


Finn Keane -- the artist formerly known as EasyFun -- talks about the legal battle that led to his name change and the success of Charli XCX's 'Brat.'

Over tea a few days before the event, Keane tells Variety that though he’d been “toying with the idea” of ditching EasyFun for a while, the change was also spurred on by a legal battle with EasyGroup, the owner of airline EasyJet. The company alleged Keane had copied their logo, using the same orange color and font, and took particular issue with the artwork for his 2015 EP “Deep Trouble,” which depicted an “EasyFun” plane in the ocean that EasyGroup said looked like the aftermath of a crash. Ushering in this new era is the aptly named “Finn Keane Album,” out on Friday, a vinyl compilation of his work as EasyFun alongside remixes that showcase how he has evolved as an artist and producer.
