Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff have completed their next studio installment but they wait until next year to release it because they want to be able to promote it properly.
Dec 25, 2020
AceShowbiz – Migos will release their new album “at the top of the year.”
The trio – comprising Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff – had been expected to release the follow-up to 2018’s “Culture II” early in 2020 but the record was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, and now they have confirmed that work on the LP is complete and fans shouldn’t have to wait too much longer for it.
Quavo explained the group had taken the decision to delay the record because they want the “commotion” of being able to promote it properly and to perform in front of their fans.
Speaking on The ETCs podcast, he said, “We done with the album, we just waiting on 2021, man, so everything can crank up. We don’t wanna drop it right now. We want the commotion, we want to move, we want to be outside. We want to drop it and go on tour. We want to have an album listening and have people in the thang and really hearing the album.”See also…
“I can’t drop no album and let the internet judge my album. It just don’t make sense. I just want to be with the people. I want to touch the people and that’s what we gon’ do at the top of the year.”
And the rapper admitted he’s ready for social distancing measures to end so he can perform and get close to fans.
“I’m ready to crowd surf. I’m ready to go crazy again… moshpit,” he grinned.
Although the “Bad and Boujee” hitmakers previously insisted the album wouldn’t be called “Culture III” as expected, Quavo referred to it by that title throughout the new interview.
“Culture II” featured guest appearances from the likes of Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Post Malone, and Travis Scott, but it’s not yet been revealed who will feature on the new record.You can share this post!

Patty Griffin did not intend to embarrass her mother on her debut album.In the early ’90s, Griffin recorded a series of simple demos to get gigs within Boston’s songwriter circuit. She had written “Sweet Lorraine” — a biographical snapshot of her mother’s rough-and-tumble upbringing — in a flash. But as hubbub grew about the diminutive redhead with the enormous voice, every label interested in Griffin demanded that “Sweet Lorraine” appear on her 1996 debut, “Living With Ghosts.” She’d never thought Lorraine would hear it.“She was so angry, and now that I’m older, I don’t blame her,” Griffin said recently during a video interview from her home in Austin, as her dog, Buster, nuzzled her. “That was stepping across a line.”On her 10 albums since that debut, Griffin has pinballed between post-grunge rock and graceful folk, between Spanish balladry and sizzling blues, even duetting with Mavis Staples before cutting a country-gospel wonder in Nashville. As she wrote about civil rights and bigotry, adventure and lust, she continued to examine her difficult childhood and relationship with Lorraine in many of her most tender but tough songs.Those family tunes culminate on her new album, “Crown of Roses,” out July 25, with the arresting “Way Up to the Sky.” On “Sweet Lorraine,” she blamed her mother’s problems on her past. But on “Way Up to the Sky,” Griffin shoulders some of the blame, singing about being the youngest of seven children who rarely made their mother feel valued amid a collapsing marriage in a cash-strapped household held together by Catholicism and convenience. Lorraine never heard “Way Up to the Sky.” She died in February at 93.“I wanted to know all the secret stuff in her heart, what those days were like when she was sad and lost and broke and unappreciated,” Griffin, 61, said with a rueful chuckle. “It was hard to get that close to it, because she had been so angry with us for so long — especially me.”On the 10 albums since her debut, Patty Griffin has pinballed between post-grunge rock and graceful folk, between Spanish balladry and sizzling blues, even duetting with Mavis Staples before cutting a country-gospel wonder in Nashville.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

Testifying under a pseudonym, the mogul’s former assistant is expected to describe allegations of sexual assault that prosecutors say amounted to forced labor. Mr. Combs denies coercing anyone into sex.A former personal assistant of Sean Combs who, prosecutors say, was sexually assaulted by her boss, is set to take the stand on Thursday at the music mogul’s sex trafficking and racketeering trial.Throughout the trial, the woman has been referred to by the pseudonym “Mia.” Prosecutors have previewed her testimony for jurors by saying that she would “tell you about the times that the defendant forced himself on her sexually, putting his hand up her dress, unzipping his pants and forcing her to perform oral sex, and sneaking into her bed to penetrate her against her will.”Previous witnesses have described Mia as part of Mr. Combs’s entourage and a friend of Casandra Ventura, the music mogul’s on-and-off girlfriend of 11 years whom he is charged with sex trafficking.Mr. Combs is not accused of sex trafficking Mia but of subjecting her to forced labor — including sexual activity — through violence and threats of serious harm. The forced labor allegation is part of a broader racketeering conspiracy charge that accuses Mr. Combs of directing a criminal enterprise that helped him commit crimes and cover them up over two decades.Mr. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges against him. His lawyers have acknowledged that he was responsible for domestic violence, but they vehemently denied the existence of a criminal conspiracy, asserting that he was the head of entirely lawful businesses that had nothing to do with his private sex life. They have argued that the sex at issue in the case was entirely consensual.In the defense’s opening statement, Teny Geragos, a lawyer for Mr. Combs, previewed the upcoming cross-examination of Mia, which will surface messages she wrote to Mr. Combs throughout her employment in which Ms. Geragos said she expressed “unbelievable love” for him.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

The British singer will not be joining her bandmates Jade Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Perrie Edwards until further notice amid unknown health battle.
Nov 18, 2020
AceShowbiz – British singer Jesy Nelson will be taking an “extended” break from Little Mix to deal with undisclosed health issues.
The pop star had to pull out of appearing in the final episode of the girl group’s TV talent show, “Little Mix: The Search”, earlier this month (07Nov20) due to a mystery illness, while she was also absent from the MTV Europe Music Awards on Sunday, when her bandmates Jade Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Perrie Edwards served as the event’s hosts.
Now a spokesperson for the Shout out to “My Ex” hitmakers has revealed Nelson will be sitting out band activities until further notice.See also…
“Jesy is having extended time off from Little Mix for private medical reasons,” the representative shared in a statement.
“We will not be issuing any further comment currently and ask media to please respect her privacy at this time.”
Before Jesy Nelson’s health issues, the group’s talent show was forced to take a break last month after crew members tested positive for Covid-19. The girls along with the host Chris Ramsey subsequently tested for the virus and the results came back negative.
While he was “absolutely gutted” by the delay, Ramsey said back then, “Let’s be honest, I think if it was me they would just find another presenter and do the show anyway. See you all next week. Crossed fingers.”You can share this post!

Calling the ‘Pillowtalk’ hitmaker a perfect fit for ‘To Begin Again’, the ‘Girls Chase Boys’ singer reveals that she worked on the track the night Joe Biden won the U.S. presidential election.
Mar 18, 2021
AceShowbiz –
Zayn Malik has teamed up with “Girls Chase Boys” singer Ingrid Michaelson on a surprise and hopeful new duet. The stars dropped “To Begin Again”, in which they sing about picking up the pieces following a near-apocalypse, on Wednesday, March 17.Ingrid started work on the track she completed with Sarah Aarons, who co-wrote Zedd’s hits “Stay” and “The Middle”, the night Joe Biden won the U.S. presidential election in November 2020.
“There was so much joy in my neighborhood,” Michaelson says. “Pots and pans being banged out of windows. Horns and whistles. Clapping. Singing! The collective sigh of relief resonated with me in such a way that I had to get it out musically. I sat at the piano and wrote most of the song right there in 15 minutes.”

After linking up with Aarons, the singer realized the song was a duet and set about recruiting new dad Zayn. “I love Zayn’s voice, especially when he goes high and sweet and sad,” she adds. “It was the perfect fit. The song is a song of hope and of release… So, we reached out to him, and they immediately were like, ‘Yeah. He loves it. He wants to do it.’ ”
Weeks later, without even speaking to Ingrid, he had recorded his vocals and the song was complete. “I think he’s a private guy,” Michaelson told Zane Lowe in a new Apple Music interview. “I think he does what he believes in and he doesn’t do what he doesn’t believe in. And the fact that he chose to sing on my song is, like, extremely amazing.”
