      Celeste Fills Debut Album With Lots of Romance as She Experiences 'Real Love'

      by

      Instagram

      The 26-year-old singer/songwriter talks about her debut studio album ‘Not Your Muse’ and how her experience in the last year has influenced her music.

      Feb 14, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Celeste has explored herself “coming into womanhood” on her new album.
      The British singer-songwriter, full name Celeste Epiphany Waite, embarked on a relationship with poet Sonny Hall before the U.K. went into lockdown amid the coronavirus pandemic and she admitted finding “real love” and growing up has proven to be a huge influence on “Not Your Muse”.
      She explained to Grazia magazine, “I think only now, in the last year or so, have I experienced what I can understand as real love.”
      “All the things I’ve written up until then were confused in a way.”
      “There’s a lot of love and romance on the album and it’s a picture of me evolving as a person.”
      “I’m not completely grown up yet, but I guess I would like to describe it as like coming into womanhood.”
      “I think it’s only in the last two years that I’ve sort of stopped feeling like I’m 21.”

      The “Hear My Voice” singer admitted she was “probably more relaxed” about the shutdown triggered by the global health crisis than she should have been.
      “At the time, I took it in my stride,” she said. “I thought, ‘I’m going to have a bit more time to work on my album!’ ”
      “And then, all of a sudden, something hit me: all this opportunity, all the momentum, could just all go away.”
      “I didn’t know what to do to adapt.”
      Meanwhile, although Celeste has been tipped for an Oscar nomination for “Hear My Voice”, which she wrote for Netflix movie “The Trial of the Chicago 7”, she isn’t paying attention to the speculation.
      She said, “I really don’t know how tangible it is or what those rumours really mean.”
      “I recorded the vocals in my bedroom and, as the process went on, I learned more about Aaron Sorkin and how he’s in ‘that league.’ ”
      “But I am not somebody who thinks of myself in that position like Adele or [Lady Gaga]. I just go with the flow.”

      Kelly Rowland Celebrates Love With Her Family in 'Black Magic' Music Video

      by

      The Destiny’s Child star makes her latest music video a family affair as she enlists her first son and newborn baby boy as special guests to promote her new single ahead of EP release.

      Feb 14, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Kelly Rowland’s newborn son has made his music video debut in the promo for his mum’s new single, “Black Magic”.
      The R&B star gave birth to Noah Jon, her second child with husband Tim Weatherspoon, on 21 January (21), and now he has joined his big brother Titan, six, in the visuals for the singer’s latest track, which dropped on Friday (12Feb21).
      In the footage, a laughing Kelly wears a “Mom” necklace and holds the tot close to her chest as Titan leans in to kiss his new sibling.
      The Destiny’s Child beauty also shares clips from the final days of her pregnancy, with her bulging belly turned into a work of art as it’s painted like a globe, with the word, “Love”, spelt out over Africa.

      Discussing the song, Kelly says, “Black Magic expresses everything there is to feel confident, feel proud of, feel encouraged by being Black.”
      “I am really excited that it’s coming now, which is in the thick of Black History Month. To me, I feel like we should be celebrating 365 days a year from what we’ve been through to what we continue to fight for when it comes to equal rights, and justice.”
      “To me this is a fight song,” she adds. “We’re continuing to put our magic forth so that we can put it on display for others to continue to see, even when they don’t want to see it. But I think they can’t help but see it because Black magic is effortless.”

      Jessie Ware Confirms Collaboration With Kylie Minogue: It's Happening

      by

      Instagram

      Aside from teasing about her plan to hit the studio with the ‘Spinning Around’ singer, the ‘Spotlight’ hitmaker explains why she is working on a deluxe edition of ‘What’s Your Pleasure?’

      Feb 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Jessie Ware is working with Kylie Minogue after the pair “hit it off” over a fish dinner during a recording of the singer’s podcast.
      The “Spotlight” hitmaker and the Australian pop queen were both a part of the disco revival with their records “What’s Your Pleasure?” and “DISCO”, respectively, and now, Jessie, 36, has confirmed she and Kylie, 52, have started collaborating.
      Speaking to OfficialCharts.com, she teased, “I’m working with her. It’s happening. Maybe we wouldn’t have thought to work together if we hadn’t had made similar albums? We hit it off over a halibut. Christmas cards and everything!”
      Kylie let slip she was planning to hit the studio with the “Remember Where You Are” hitmaker in December.

      She spilled, “I’ve got to get in the studio with Jessie. That’s happening which I am wildly excited about.”
      Meanwhile, after “What’s Your Pleasure?” started riding up the Official U.K. chart again, Jessie is working on a deluxe edition of the record.

      She said, “I had so many songs that didn’t make the record… but that doesn’t mean they’re not good! I wrote maybe 40 or 50 songs. I know that my next record is not going to be the same as ‘What’s Your Pleasure?’ so when I listened to them, it felt maddening that I had all these brilliant songs that I couldn’t (originally) put on the record. They fit so well in this ‘What’s Your Pleasure?’ world so it made sense to keep them for this rather than to make another record.”
      She continued, “So there’s some songs that didn’t make the record because I needed to tell the right story with ‘What’s Your Pleasure?’ and now actually, weirdly, the deluxe has created this new story and the new songs work really well together which is exciting. I think that if my fans liked ‘What’s Your Pleasure?’, this will keep them dancing a bit longer.”

      by

      Choreographer Todrick Hall shares his excitement to have been able to work with the ‘Have You Ever?’ singer for the project that also features Whoopi Goldberg, Victor Garber and Bernadette Peters.

      Feb 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Brandy has teamed up with her “Cinderella” co-stars including Whoopi Goldberg, Victor Garber and Bernadette Peters on a music video for a medley of songs taken from the TV movie.
      “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella”, which starred Brandy in the titular role and the late Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother, is set for release on Disney+ on Friday (February 12). And, ahead of its streaming premiere, Brandy and choreographer/singer Todrick Hall dropped the new video, which begins with them singing Impossible in his house, before Brandy has her princess moment in an iconic blue ballgown.

      “In 1997 I saw ‘Cinderella’ starring Brandy and it changed my life! It is THE REASON why I started singing and dancing and pursuing Broadway, so when @brandy agreed to sing with me, my fairy tale dream came true. I am living proof that dreams really do come true!” Todrick tweeted alongside the video.

      The video, which also starred Paolo Montalban, Jason Alexander and Veanne Cox, came as Brandy told Vulture magazine she’s “working on” bringing a soundtrack for “Cinderella” – which never happened upon its original release – to life.
      “I am working on that. I am definitely working on that. I keep hearing the talks about it,” she smiled.
      She also reflected on having the opportunity to sing alongside Whitney, who died in 2012, saying, “Oh my God, the singing in the studio was unbelievable. Like, we just have so many beautiful moments and it’s actually captured. You can find it – our chemistry, us trying different melodies, trying different notes. We just were very open with each other and it was a collaborative effort. And then performing it in the actual film, like shooting with her – it was just so fun. I never could have believed that if you told me that when I was a kid.”

      Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd Discuss Their Creative Partnership After Release of First Duet

      by

      During their joint appearance on ‘Today’s Country Radio’, the ‘Chasing After You’ singers open up about why they initially were ‘scared’ about making music together.

      Feb 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Maren Morris and her husband Ryan Hurd have released their first-ever duet together.
      The country music pair – who welcomed their first child, son Hayes, into the world last March (20) – have teamed up on “Chasing After You” and the pair admitted working together creatively has always come “natural” to them.
      [embedded content]
      Ryan, 34, said, “It’s been really natural. And I think that that’s the best part about it, is that it’s been such a seamless … There’s moments that are hard to be a creative partnership and actually have a life together. That’s it, there are moments where that Venn diagram is awkward, but I think for the most part we do this together, we always have. And then I do Maren’s career with her, just as much as she does mine with me. And so I think if you have that perspective, the timing stuff sort of figures itself out.”

        See also…

      “Middle” hitmaker Maren, 30, admitted she and her spouse were “scared” about making music together at first in case they ended up in a “serious relationship,” however, it ended up improving their “dynamic” as writers.
      She added during their joint appearance on Apple Music Country’s “Today’s Country Radio” with Kelleigh Bannen, “I mean, we still write together. I think that’s always going to be a part of our relationship, is being creative. There was a time that we wrote so many songs together in the beginning that we were scared. Like if we did get into a serious relationship, that we wouldn’t be able to write as honestly to and about each other in the room, but I don’t feel like that’s been the case. I think it’s only strengthened our dynamic in the writing room over the years.”
      [embedded content]
      Elsewhere, Ryan, who tied the knot with Maren in 2018, teased his wife’s upcoming new album, which will be her follow-up to 2019’s “Girl”, and hailed his other half’s “world-class voice.”
      He gushed, “Obviously, we’re all excited about her next album, whenever that is. I’m the only one who’s heard all the songs, so I’m proud of that. I don’t know, I am constantly, don’t listen too closely, I am always amazed at how good Maren is. She’s my favorite songwriter and honestly, has just a world-class voice.”

      Taylor Swift Feels 'Great Amount of Gratitude' as She Looks Back at Her Musical Evolution

      by

      Apple Music

      The ‘Willow’ singer is filled with gratitude for ‘people giving [her] the ability to grow up creatively’ as she reflects on her musical growth over the years.

      Feb 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Taylor Swift is “really proud” of how her music has developed over the years.
      The “Evermore” star reflected on her songs to date since she first released “Fearless”, admitting it was really special to be recording her new album at the same time she was working on re-recording her 2008 record.
      “I was allowed to start rerecording my music in November. By then we had a great deal of Evermore done. I had shot a music video for Willow, but I was still writing and I was still recording,” she explained during an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music.

      “So there would be days where I’d be recording You Belong With Me and then I’d be recording a song like Happiness, which is on Evermore. And it made me feel really proud of sort of the scope of things.”
      And the 31-year-old singer – who is dating Joe Alwyn – feels a “great amount of gratitude” that she can re-record her teenage music again.
      “And looking back when I was a teenager and I would write about my troubles in high school and the drama and the pining away and all that stuff, that was all so valid to me at that time in my life,” she mused. “Just as much as Evermore is so valid to my happiness at this time in my life. So I’ve really felt very grateful lately for people giving me the ability to grow up creatively. And I know there have been snags and there’ve been times where people have been like, ‘I don’t like her.’ ”
      “Several times, but for the most part, I feel a great amount of gratitude that I was able to make music from the time I was a teenager to the time that I’m 31.”

      Cardi B Stuns Jimmy Fallon With Real Meaning Behind 'Up' Lyrics

      by

      NBC

      The ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker has left the ‘Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ host speechless during TV interview as she explains the real meaning behind her new song lyrics.

      Feb 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Cardi B left U.S. talk show host Jimmy Fallon lost for words after explaining the unexpected meaning behind a line in her new single “Up”.
      The “WAP” hitmaker is known for her raunchy lyrics, but she caught comedian Fallon off-guard on Thursday (11Feb21) as she revealed one part of the song originally referred to an uncomfortable constipation situation.
      The line in question, which she had actually borrowed from her husband, Migos rapper Offset, is, “If it’s up, then it’s stuck.”
      During “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” interview, Cardi admitted she initially thought it was a “Georgia thing” as Offset, who is from the state, says it “a lot,” but she soon learned fans from other Southern U.S. states are also familiar with the phrase, so she was inspired to use it too.
      “Um, so have you ever taken a poop, right, and it don’t come out?” Cardi began to explain as the stunned funnyman looked down at his desk. “It’s just up and it’s stuck. Yeah (sic).”

        See also…

      After an awkward silence, Fallon uttered, “Wow,” while Cardi simply nodded.
      “I mean, I guess you can take from it whatever you want. There’s other ways to look at it, I guess,” Fallon reasoned, as Cardi agreed, “It’s a metaphorical quote.”
      [embedded content]
      The release of “Up” which she claimed was inspired by the Chicago Drill music scene was marred by plagiarism accusations.
      The femcee was accused of ripping off New Jersey rap duo Mir Fontane and Mir Pesos over similarities between the hooks on her song and theirs.
      She, however, vehemently denied the allegations.

      Robin Thicke Insists He Had 'No Negative Intentions' When Making 'Rapey' Song 'Blurred Lines'

      by

      WENN

      While insisting his 2013 hit single was made with ‘no negative intentions,’ the ‘Sex Therapy’ singer understands the controversy surrounding the lyrics and racy music video.

      Feb 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Robin Thicke would never make a video like “Blurred Lines” again.
      The singer and his collaborator Pharrell Williams enjoyed huge success with the 2013 single but it also attracted controversy, with its lyrics branded “rapey” and its accompanying video – which featured Emily Ratajkowski dancing topless – branded degrading to women.
      And while Robin insisted there were “no negative intentions” around the track, he understands the backlash.
      “We had no negative intentions when we made the record, when we made the video,” he told the New York Post newspaper. “But then it did open up a conversation that needed to be had. And it doesn’t matter what your intentions were when you wrote the song … the people were being negatively affected by it.”

        See also…

      “And I think now, obviously, culture, society has moved into a completely different place. You won’t see me making any videos like that ever again!”
      The “Lost Without U” singer admitted he lost “perspective” on what was “appropriate” at that point in his career.
      “I had lost perspective on my personal life and my music and what was appropriate… and why I was doing it,” he added. “I’d lost the intention, you know what I mean? I needed to regain my perspective and my positive intention of what my music was for – and what my life was for.”
      Robin has now released a new album “On Earth, and in Heaven”, and hopes the record will offer fans some positivity.
      “I wanted to put out something that was very healing and loving and helped people get through their hard times and see the light at the end of the tunnel,” he smiled.
