SELECT songview.*, songartistview.* FROM songview JOIN songartistview ON songartistview.idsong = songview.idsong WHERE (songview.idAlbum = 11255) AND (songview.idSong IN (SELECT song_artist.idSong FROM song_artist WHERE song_artist.idArtist = 87 AND song_artist.idRole = 1 ) OR songview.idSong IN (SELECT song.idSong FROM song JOIN album_artist ON song.idAlbum=album_artist.idAlbum WHERE album_artist.idArtist = 87))
