      Artist of the Week: Yung Bleu

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Love Scars’ star moves up the ranks both in music charts and among the rookies in the rap game as he scores his first top 10 single with his Drake collaboration.

      Mar 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Yung Bleu has been steadily climbing the chart since being signed to Boosie Badazz’s label. Following his breakout single “Miss It”, he reached a new high with his recent offering “You’re Mines Still” as the track broke into the top 10 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
      In it, the Alabama rapper continued to do what he did best, alternating between rap and R&B. A confession of a guy who refused to move on from a toxic relationship, the song caught Drake’s attention and the Canadian star quickly jumped on the remix version.
      While Drizzy was keen to add his verses to the song, the collaboration almost did not happen after Bleu missed the superstar’s call. “I was so mad. I really thought it was over. I ended up texting him the next day and talking about it. But he was mad cool. Drake is a real genuine dude. He really doesn’t care how big you are. If he f**ks with it, he f**ks with it,” Bleu told Complex.

      Taken from 26-year-old Bleu’s mini album “Love Scars: The 5 Stages of Emotions”, the track additionally peaked at No. 19 on Billboard Hot 100 and reached No. 5 on Mediabase rhythmic and urban radio charts. It also climbed five spots to the eleventh position on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart.
      As he showed his potential as a hitmaker, he moved up the ranks among newbies in the rap game. He has been named 2021’s artist to watch by influential magazines like PEOPLE and Billboard. Following his collaboration with Drake, he also has been getting a lot of offers from big stars in the industry.
      The artist, who teamed up with the likes of Lil Durk, YFN Lucci, Wiz Khalifa, and Kevin Gates in the past, opened up, “My DMs have been so crazy that I haven’t even had a chance to go through all of them. But I do have big follow-up work after this though. After this song, there’s another with a big artist.”

      Rita Ora Wows in First Live Performance Since COVID Pandemic at Sydney Mardi Gras 2021

      by

      Instagram

      Hitting the stage at the Sydney Cricket Ground in front of 35,000 fans, the new coach of ‘The Voice Australia’ admits to feeling a little bit emotional toward the end of her set.

      Mar 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Rita Ora became one of the first A-listers to perform live for thousands since the COVID pandemic shut down the music world, when she performed at the 2021 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Australia on Saturday, March 6.
      The singer took to the stage at the Sydney Cricket Ground in front of 35,000 fans.
      Rita, who was already in Australia – working as a coach in the new season of TV talent show “The Voice”, came dressed to party in a plunging blue sequinned leotard, and played a medley of her hits, including “Let You Love Me” and “Bang Bang”.
      Speaking to the gathering crowd toward the end of her set, the “Anywhere” confessed, “I’m a little bit emotional.” She added, “This is my first show in a very, very long time so thank you.”

      Troye Sivan also made a splash during the Mardi Gras, as did singer Jack Vidgen.
      Hours after her performance, Ora thanked the Mardi Gras organizers for inviting her to headline the event, sharing a series of snaps via Instagram.
      “Thank you @sydneymardigras!!! It was an honor to perform at such an important event last night!” she captioned the shots. “I can’t put into words the love I have for the LGBTQIA+ community and last night will remain a special moment for me forever! Love you all.”

      While the event went on smoothly, Mardi Gras chief executive Albert Kruger revealed that it was almost canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. He went on to say, “This is actually better than any expectations we ever had.”

      Eminem Doubles Down on Defiant Attitude to Critics' Attempt to Cancel Him With 'Tone Deaf' Video

      by

      [embedded content]

      Armed and ready to respond to the new social media campaign that seeks to cancel him over his controversial lyrics, Em releases an animated video for his 2020 song.

      Mar 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Eminem has responded to social media campaign that sought for his cancellation over his controversial lyrics. No stranger to backlash since early of his rising career, instead of dropping a new freestyle or recording a new track, the Grammy Award-winning artist released a music video for his already existing song aptly titled “Tone Deaf”.
      Lifted off his 2020 album “Music to Be Murdered By”, the song reflects his defiant attitude to the cancel culture. “It’s okay not to like my s**t/ Everything’s fine, drink your wine, b***h/ And get offline, quit whinin’, this is just a rhyme, b***h,” he raps on the song.
      Em adds in the chorus, “I can’t understand a word you say (I’m tone-deaf)/ I think this way I prefer to stay (I’m tone-deaf).” He also tweeted, “I won’t stop even when my hair turns grey (I’m tone-deaf)/ ‘Cause they won’t stop until they cancel me,” referencing another line from the track, when announcing the release of the animated video on Friday, March 6.
      The attempt to cancel Em apparently kicked off in February, when a Gen Z TikTok user argued the rapper’s 2010 hit “Love the Way You Lie” glorifies toxic relationships and domestic violence. A user, who has been banned from the video-sharing application, played a snippet of the song and appeared to take issue with the lyric which goes, “If she ever tries to f**king leave again, I’ma tie her/ to the bed and set this house on fire.”

        See also…

      In the critic’s video, the song plays while someone looks into the camera with the text “Yesssss lets [sic] cancel him” being displayed.
      Em, however, has survived from attempts to cancel him in the past. Throughout his career, he faced backlash for creating far more offensive music than “Love the Way You Lie”. One person even noted that the rapper’s debut single, “My Name Is”, opened with the line, “Hi kids, do you like violence?”
      Em was also heavily criticized when his unreleased song “Things Get Worse” leaked online in 2019. In the said song, he dissed Rihanna, whom he has collaborated with several times, including on “Love the Way You Lie”.
      “I’m not playing, Rihanna, where’d you get the VD at?/ Let me add my two cents/ Of course I side with Chris Brown/ I’d beat a b***h down too/ If she gave my d**k an itch now,” he raps on the controversial song.
      He then apologized to Rih on his song “Zeus” off “Music to Be Murdered By – Side B”, which part of the lyrics goes, “And wholeheartedly, apologies, Rihanna/ For that song that leaked, I’m sorry, Ri/ It wasn’t meant to cause you grief.”

      by

      WENN

      The Songwriters Hall of Famer will be honored at the prestigious Polar Music Prize ceremony along with the 2022 laureates as the event is postponed for the second consecutive year.

      Mar 7, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Diane Warren will have to wait another year to pick up the prestigious Polar Music Prize as the ceremony has been postponed for the second year in a row.
      The songwriter and Anna Netrebko were named the 2020 laureates, but last year’s event was scrapped due to the coronavirus pandemic, and now the rescheduled prizegiving has been bumped to May, 2022, when the two musicians will be honoured alongside the to-be-announced 2022 laureates.
      “Next year is special to us as it will be 30 years since the first presentation of the Polar Music Prize to Sir Paul McCartney and the Baltic States in 1992,” Alfons Karabuda, the chairman of the Polar Music Prize committee says. “We will continue in the very special tradition initiated by the founder of the Prize, the late Stikkan Anderson, but there is no such thing as business as usual with the Polar Music Prize.”

      “No year bears resemblance with the previous ones and 2022 will be no exception. So what can we say about the laureates of 2022? Well, nothing until February 8th, when the announcement will take place in Stockholm.”
      The Polar Music Prize, founded in Sweden by ABBA manager Stig Anderson, is dispersed each year to one artist from the realm of pop and one from the world of classical or jazz music.
      Past recipients included Paul McCartney, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Bjork, Sting’ Metallica, Grandmaster Flash, Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, and Yo-Yo Ma.

      The ‘Toosie Slide’ hitmaker promises his next studio installment is coming soon as he tides fans over by releasing a follow-up to his 2018 mini album ‘Scary Hours’.

      Mar 7, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Drake has promised fans “Certified Lover Boy” is “in the pot and coming soon.”
      The “Toosie Slide” hitmaker has given an update on the delayed record and teased it’s “currently being chef’d in every way possible” as he revealed that he’s been cooking up tunes once again with Noel Cadastre and Noah ’40’ Shebib.
      Speaking on OVO Sound Radio, he continued, “I don’t have an exact date, but it’s in the pot and it’s coming soon.”
      This week (end07Mar21) saw the 34-year-old rapper release three news songs on “Scary Hours 2”.

      After teasing a follow-up to his 2018 EP “Scary Hours”, the hip-hop superstar delivered three new tracks on the sequel, “What’s Next”, “Wants and Needs” featuring Lil Baby, and “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” with Rick Ross.
      “Certified Lover Boy” was delayed in order for Drake to focus on his recovery from knee surgery.
      The album was originally scheduled for release early this year.
      “I was planning to release my album this month but between surgery and rehab my energy has been dedicated to recovery,” he explained to his online devotees on Instagram Story. “I’m blessed to be back on my feet feeling great and focused on the album, but CLB won’t be dropping in January. I’m looking forward to sharing it with you all in 2021. (sic)”
      While details of the album are still sketchy, the rapper previously said his new music might draw mixed response, just like the reaction he got for his 2016 record. “They hated on Views just like they will CLB (Certified Lover Boy) but it’s music to evolve to,” he said.

      Myleene Klass Blames Hear'Say Messy Breakup for Her Refusal to Reunion

      by

      Instagram

      During an appearance on Sink The Pink’s ‘Pop Tarts’ Instagram Live, the ‘Dancing on Ice’ contestant admits to have been approached by ex-bandmate Suzanne Shaw about the get-together.

      Mar 6, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Myleene Klass didn’t want to reunite with Hear’Say because she resented being the one left to deal with their messy breakup.
      The “Pure and Simple” hitmakers, which also included Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw, Noel Sullivan and Danny Foster, mark 20 years since they were formed on TV show “Popstars” this year (2021). And though they had been rumored to get back together, the 42-year-old pianist turned down an approach – partly because she was very busy, but also because she’s still unhappy about how things ended.
      Kym quit the group in December 2001 amid rumors of tension between her and Myleene, but failed to tell her bandmates before the news was made public, creating a “bitter” atmosphere.
      And during an appearance on Sink The Pink’s “Pop Tarts” Instagram Live, Myleene explained, “You’ve got to remember though, for me, I feel like I was the last to leave the band as I was the one to turn the lights out in the office.”
      “I had to walk into a massive brand [meeting] and they said, ‘What are we gonna do now? We’ve got half a million Easter eggs and there’s five of you on them’ and I’m 21 years old going, ‘umm.’ ”
      “They want their money back and I’m like, ‘I don’t have it. I assure you I don’t have that money for your half a million pound easter egg deposit.’ Every day there is a member depleting, so I remember having to close down the books on that kind of stuff, shut down the accounts.”

        See also…

      Myleene also revealed Suzanne visited her at home last year to urge her to take part in the reunion, but she wouldn’t change her mind.
      “There was definitely talk last year,” she continued. “Suzie came to my house just to have the discussion. I said, ‘look at the minute, I have so much on.’ ”
      The “Dancing on Ice” contestant recalled how devastated she was when the band, which ultimately replaced Kym with Johnny Shentall, went their separate ways.
      “It’s funny, isn’t it, because it’s 20 years ago. So, if I asked you what happened around the photocopier in the office 20 years ago, you can’t really remember,” she mused. “But, of course, it was sad when it ended because we thought we were going to be bigger than U2. Well, I did. I don’t know what everyone else thought.”
      Despite Myleene’s repeated public refusals to be part of a reunion, Kym recently insisted they will mark the milestone in some way.
      She said, “We’d like to give a little nod to the fact that it’s 20 years. What we’ll do, I have no idea. But we’d like to do something to mark the occasion — we’ll have to wait and see…”
