    Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande Link Up on New Song 'Met Him Last Night'

    Instagram

    The song, which appears on the ‘OK Not to Be OK’ singer’s new album ‘Dancing with the Devil…The Art of Starting Over’, happened after she played the title track for her collaborator.

    Apr 2, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande’s much-awaited collaboration has finally arrived in full. Debuted on midnight Friday, April 2, the song titled “Met Him Last Night” is lifted off the former’s new album “Dancing With the Devil…The Art of Starting Over” which was also released on the same day.

    On the song, the former “High School Musical” actress and the former Nickelodeon star showed off their abilities to hit sky-high notes as they belt out in powerful harmonies about a run-in with the devil. Lovato kicks off the first verse, “Late at night, I’m sipping, as you pass me by/ Red or white, you pour another and say ‘It’s fine.’ ”

    “I seen the devil, yeah, I met him last night/ Had conversations, yeah, I think he’s alright,” she sings in the chorus, “Seem kinda funny, yeah, he kinda my type/ Yeah, yeah, yeah/ I seen the devil, yeah, I met him last night/ One conversation, now he spending the night/ I think I Iove him, though I know it ain’t right.”

    The “devil” seems to be the stand-in metaphor of life’s vices as Grande touches on the temptations this “devil” presents, singing in the second verse, “You got me f**ked up, I won’t let this happen again/ This the last time, you won’t takе advantage of my innocence.”

    The two singers come together in the third verse, “How could I ever believe him?/ The one that could be so deceiving/ Boy, you are my only vice, I never feel this way/ Hold me hostage, I’m leaving, boy you just gave me a reason.”

    Prior to the song’s release, Lovato explained how her collaborator came up with the idea behind it. “I played ‘Dancing with the Devil’ for her and she was really really excited about that,” she said. “She came up with this concept for ‘Met Him Last Night’ and when she played it for me, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, yes, absolutely, I’d love to do this.’ I was so excited to get to work with her. We had so much fun singing together.”

    On the same day of the song’s release, Lovato dropped a music video for “Dancing with the Devil”, the title track and third single off her latest and seventh studio album.

    Olivia Rodrigo Witnesses Ex's New GF Living Her Life in 'Deja Vu' Music Video

    [embedded content]

    The ‘Drivers License’ hitmaker explains her new song is about an ex-girlfriend who realizes that her former lover’s new girl is literally just like her.

    Apr 2, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Olivia Rodrigo’s new song is seemingly inspired by her love life yet again. Around three months after releasing her hit breakup anthem “Driving License”, the singer dropped a new song called “Deja Vu” and its video where she witnesses her ex’s new girlfriend living her life.

    The 18-year-old beauty announced the music release via Instagram on Thursday, April 1. Sharing a part of the clip, she declared, “deja vu out everywhere!!!!!” She then followed it up by posting some behind-the-scenes pictures from the music video and penned, “the ‘deja vu’ video is one of my fav things i’ve ever done.”

    “Deja Vu” music video starts with her driving on the coast of Malibu, California to a place where she spots a girl trying on a green gown. She then drives back home and puts on the same dress. While she looks at herself in the mirror, the girl’s reflection appears in the corner.

    In the scene, the “High School Musical: The Musical” star sings, “So when you gonna tell her that we did that too?/ She thinks it’s special, but it’s all re-used/ That was our place, I found it first/ I made the jokes you tell to her when she’s with you.” She continues to rhyme, “Do you get deja vu When she’s with you?/ Do you get deja vu?/ Do you get deja vu?”

    Olivia opened up about her new song when speaking to Zane Lowe on his Apple Music’s show. “I actually wrote it about a month after writing ‘Drive’s License,’ ” she revealed. “I’m sort of obsessed with the concept of deja vu. I really love that concept [because] I get deja vu all the time.”

    “So I thought it would be a cool play on words to use deja vu as a metaphor for this very universal thing that happens when you break up with someone and they get with somebody else, and see them living the life that you lived,” she added. “Yeah, it’s just a super universal thing that I think happens to everyone that we just don’t really talk about a ton.”

    “The success of ‘Drivers License’ has been a huge lesson in how you just need to, when you put a song out, you just need to let it go,” the ex-girlfriend of Joshua Bassett further noted. “And it’s everyone else’s song to interpret, it’s not your song anymore.”

    The Weeknd Excited to Release New Song as NFT

    WENN

    The ‘Save Your Tears’ hitmaker announces his first-ever NFT drop as he releases his limited edition art along with a new song in a non-fungible token marketplace.

    Apr 2, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    The Weeknd’s first NFT drop will launch on Saturday (03.03.21).

    The 31-year-old star – real name Abel Tesfaye – took to Twitter at the weekend (27-28Mar21) to explain that his latest release will be a little different and that his next song will be up for grabs in “NFT space” only.

    He wrote, “new song living in NFT space. coming soon…”

    The singer added, “p.s. this chapter isn’t quite done yet …still tying some loose ends (sic).”

    The Weeknd has since updated his fans, revealing his limited edition art and the track is available via Nifty Gateway, “the premier marketplace for Nifties,” which are “digital items you can truly own,” according to their website.

    The “Save Your Tears” hitmaker tweeted, “Excited to announce that my first NFT drop is taking place on Saturday at 2:00 pm EST on @niftygateway.”

    “The collection will feature new music and limited edition art. I developed the artwork with Strange Loop Studios.”

    The Weeknd has a 24-hour auction for “an exclusive 1-of-1 piece of art” with his new song.

    And whoever ends up winning will become the only owner of the track in the world.

    The “Blinding Lights” hitmaker said in a statement, “Blockchain is democratising an industry that has historically been kept shut by the gatekeepers.”

    “I’ve always been looking for ways to innovate for fans and shift this archaic music biz and seeing NFTs allowing creators to be seen and heard more than ever before on their terms is profoundly exciting.”

    “I intend to contribute to this movement and can see that very soon it will be weaved into the music industry’s mechanics.”

    NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are an emerging market within blockchain where single-impression unique digital art and goods known as the ‘token’ can be sold.

    Demi Lovato Reveals Music Video Snippet as She Reenacts Near-Fatal Drug Overdose

    ABC

    The ‘Sorry Not Sorry’ singer has released a teaser for an upcoming video of her new single ‘Dancing with the Devil’, showing she recreates the scene from her 2018 ordeal.

    Apr 2, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Demi Lovato is reliving her near-fatal drug overdose drama by reenacting her brush with death for her new music video.

    The pop star debuted the song “Dancing With the Devil” in her YouTube docuseries of the same name, detailing her struggle with addiction and her terrifyingly close call following her 2018 hospitalisation for a drug overdose.

    Now Demi is making her art imitate life by playing out the scary scenario for fans in the accompanying promo, which features the singer partying at a bar and ending up on a hospital gurney.

    According to Entertainment Weekly, the “Sorry Not Sorry” hitmaker, who co-directs the video with her docuseries collaborator Michael D. Ratner, even wears similar clothes and the same style of hair and makeup from that fateful night, when her assistant found her naked and blue after ingesting a dangerous cocktail of heroin and oxycodone laced with fentanyl.

    Demi, who was told she was minutes away from death after suffering three heart attacks and a stroke during the harrowing time, decided to revisit the overdose scare as a form of creative therapy.

    “Sometimes being descriptive can be triggering, but that’s the sad, sad truth of how dark it can get,” she told the publication about the making of the video. “That’s important to give people, too.”

    The video for “Dancing With the Devil” is set to premiere online at 9pm PST on Thursday night (01Apr21), just before she drops her seventh studio album, “Dancing With the Devil…The Art of Starting Over”, on Friday.

    Rich the Kid Blasted as 'Disrespectful' for His Song About Lori Harvey

    Instagram

    Raving about the social media personality’s famous curves, the ‘Plug Walk’ rapper also brings up Lori’s long dating history and expresses his hope to sleep with her.

    Apr 1, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Rich the Kid has turned his glorification of Lori Harvey into a song. Apparently one of the social media personality’s fans, the rapper has written a track about the famous stepdaughter of comedian Steve Harvey.

    Not ashamed to share his feelings about the girlfriend of Michael B. Jordan, the Queens native took to his social media page on Wednesday, March 31 to share a snippet of the unreleased track. In the never-before-heard song, he raves about the 24-year-old beauty’s enviable curves and reveals his desire to sleep with her.

    “Yeah, she bad, I’m gon’ f**k her like a thottie (Thottie)/ You a dime, might worry about your bodies (Bodies),” Rich rapped in the clip, while the song also played in the background. He also brings up Lori’s long dating history, rhyming, “She f**k a rapper, singer, actor, oh, she naughty (Yeah).”

    “She said, this summer she gon’ act, yeah, she a hottie (Yeah),” the lyrics go on, before Rich repeats Lori’s name in the chorus, “Lori Harvey (Lori), Lori Harvey (Lori)/ Lori Harvey (Lori), Lori Harvey (Lori)/ Yeah, she bad, I’m gon’ f**k her like a thottie.”

      See also…

    Not all, however, think that Rich’s song for Lori is flattering. Reacting to the snippet, many have called him out for being disrespectful toward the model, particularly now that she’s dating another guy.

    “It’s the disrespect for me,” one person commented. Another echoed, “The disrespect is real.” Sharing the same sentiment, a third one added, “This is disrespectful. Feel how you want about her, but don’t disrespect that girl.”

    “This rap industry is trash who lets them release this type of music so disrespectful,” another commenter shared her/his two cents. Someone suggested that Lori should sue Rich, “I hope she can sue him,” while another similarly commented, “How he name a song about her before his girl She need to hit him with a cease and desist letter smh.”

    Justin Bieber Defends Himself Following Backlash Over Use of MLK Speech on New Album

    Instagram/Rory Kramer

    The ‘Yummy’ hitmaker insists he didn’t mean any disrespect and he, instead, hopes to help spread the awareness of racism and the importance of Black Lives Matter.

    Apr 1, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Justin Bieber has answered critics who slammed his decision to feature a Martin Luther King, Jr. speech on his new album, “Justice”, insisting he just wants to continue the Black Lives Matter “conversation.”

    The MLK Interlude wasn’t popular with many people, even though the pop star sought permission to use the civil rights icon’s words from the King estate.

    And after debuting Justice at the top of the charts, Bieber has tackled the issue head on in a new chat with Kristal Terrell, one of the co-founders of Clubhouse’s Bieber Nation.

    “Being Canadian… they didn’t teach us about Black history,” he said. “It was just not a part of our education system. I think for me, coming from Canada and being uneducated and making insensitive jokes when I was a kid and being insensitive and being honestly just a part of the problem because I just didn’t know better… For me to have this platform to just share this raw moment of Martin Luther King in a time where he knew he was going to die for what he was standing up for (sic).”

    Bieber was also criticised for opening the album with a King speech at the beginning of its first track “2 Much”, and for the placement of the MLK Interlude, just before “Die For You”, a love song to his wife.

    But Justin insists he made the right choice, “I want to keep growing and learning about just all social injustices and what it looks like for me to be better, what it looks like for my friends to be better,” he added. “And I know I have a long way to go. I love that when people are listening to my album, these conversations are coming up and they’re like, ‘Well, how is he going from Martin Luther King into a love song?’ ”

    “I’m not trying to make a connection between me and Martin Luther King. That’s why I never try to talk about social injustice or I didn’t want to be the one to talk about it, because I just have so much more learning to do. But I have this man who was ready to die and what he believed to be true. If I’m not willing to face some sort of ridicule or judgment of people wondering my motives or whatever that is, for me, it was a no brainer.”
