    Ariana Grande Originally Just Wanted to Be Backing Vocalist for Demi Lovato on New Album

    by

    Instagram

    The ‘7 Rings’ singer initially suggested to be a background artist for Demi on the new song ‘Met Him Last Night’ but the Disney alum insisted the former Nickelodeon star appeared on the track.

    Apr 4, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Demi Lovato was so impressed with the song Ariana Grande wrote for her, she insisted she appear on the track.

    The “Cool for the Summer” star gave Grande an early preview of songs she was working on for what has become her new album, “Dancing With the Devil… The Art of Starting Over”, and Ariana offered to go away and write a new tune for her pal.

    The result was “Met Him Last Night”.

    Ariana agreed to sing on the track, but suggested she should just be a background artist.

    “She was like…, ‘I’ll be like mystery, harmony lady,’ ” Lovato tells Sirius XM’s “The Morning Mashup”, “and I was like, ‘I feel like the world would love to hear us together, like we should do that.’ And she was like, ‘Are you sure?’ And I was like, ‘Yes.’ And so she added her vocals and, she’s just so talented, so great. I’m so grateful to have a friend like her.”

    Grande isn’t the only guest on the new album, which dropped on Friday (02Apr21) – Saweetie, Sam Fischer, and Noah Cyrus also feature.

    The album was released following the premiere of a new documentary where Demi got candid about her personal journey including her struggles with drugs.

    She dropped bombshells about being raped when she was a teen and sexually assaulted by her drug dealer the night she suffered the near-fatal overdose.

    She has since pulled herself out of addiction, but she admitted she’s not completely sober. She still drinking and smoking weed in moderation and gets monthly injections of Vivitrol to prevent from relapsing.

    “I haven’t been by-the-book sober since the summer of 2019,” she explained. “I realised if I don’t allow myself some wiggle room, I go to the hard (expletive). And that will be the death of me.”

      AceShowbiz –
      Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande are to receive around $10 million (£7.2 million) each as a result of their manager Scooter Braun’s new deal with HYBE.

      It was revealed on Friday (02Apr21) that mogul Braun’s Ithaca Holdings has merged with HYBE – formerly Big Hit Entertainment, meaning that HYBE will acquire a 100 per cent stake in Ithaca Holdings and its properties, including SB Projects and its clients as well as Taylor Swift’s former record company Big Machine Label Group.

      As part of the merger, a total of 863,209 new shares were issued for a total of $160.5 million (£116 million). Each share is $186 (£134), and Bieber and Grande received 53,557 each – totalling $9,961,602 (£7,202,631) each – according to a Korean regulatory filing obtained by Variety.

      Braun’s other clients include J Balvin and Demi Lovato, who received 21,423 and 5,355 shares respectively, giving them a payday of $3.9 million (£2.8 million) and $996,030 (£720,169) each. Carly Rae Jepsen and Asther Roth each received 535 shares, while Migos star Quavo and the members of country band Florida Georgia Line were among the other clients to receive smaller cuts of the total.

      As a result of the merger, HYBE will become one of the world’s biggest entertainment companies.

      “This will be the first time HYBE’s groundbreaking systems and curation will be integrated in the U.S. market at the onset of an artist’s career,” Braun said in a statement. “Plus, it will help us to continue to further the careers of the artists we already work with.”

      “Global opportunities for artists become exponential with this partnership. This is an opportunity for us to make history and further innovate the music industry and revolutionise the game itself. Its implications for the business will be monumental for a long time to come.”

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

      by

      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.”

        See also…

      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.

      “Kelly Clarkson got about $15 million when she joined ‘The Voice’,” Rob further spilled out, before detailing how much other coaches received. “John Legend and Blake Shelton get around $13 million a season, which means the women on the show are making the most,” he exclaimed.

      The ‘Thank U, Next’ songstress unveils the remixed version of her ‘Positions’ single featuring the ‘Juicy’ raptress and the ‘Savage’ hitmaker along with its official lyrics video.

      Jan 15, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Ariana Grande has dropped a remix of her latest single “34+35” featuring Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion. After teasing it hours earlier, the former Nickelodeon star debuted the new song on midnight Friday, January 15.
      The playful sexual track opens with Ariana’s original verse, before Doja follows in the second verse. The “Mooo!” raptress references the song’s mathematical title while dropping a reference to Brooklyn rapper 6ix9ine in her own part.
      “Add up the numbers or get behind that/ Play and rewind that, listen, you’ll find that,” she raps. “I want that 69 without Tekashi/ And I want your body and I make it obvious.”
      Megan comes midway through the song. “Rock you like a baby/ But you know I’m bout to keep you up,” she spits her equally raunchy lyrics, dropping an expletive. “Welcome to my channel/ And today I’m bout to teach you sum/ I can make it pop legs up like a can can/ Wake the neighbors up/ Make it sound like the band playing/ B***h, let me get cute.”

        See also…

      “34+35” is the second single of Ariana’s sixth studio album “Positions”, which hit the stores on October 30, 2020. Preceded by lead single and title track “Positions”, “34+35” arrived on the same day of the album’s release along with its official music video.

      On Thursday, January 14, the “7 Rings” songstress teased the remix with a 16-second clip featuring a vintage TV which displays her vague silhouette with two mystery individuals on either side of her on the screen. She later confirmed Megan and Doja’s guest appearances on the song, posting on Instagram, “tonight @dojacat @theestallion,” along with the song’s cover art.

      “34+35” sits at No. 13 on Billboard Hot 100 chart this week after previously peaking at No. 8 and is poised to return to the top 10 with the nice boost from the Megan and Doja collaboration. The album itself debuted at No. 1 on Billboard 200 chart.
