      Rag'n'Bone Man on Refusal to Release 'Talking to Myself' as Single: No One Needs That Much Misery

      by

      Instagram

      Speaking about the ballad on his new album ‘Life by Misadventure’, the ‘Human’ hitmaker admits to be drinking too much when writing it down, and realizes its selfish side when listening back.

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – British singer/songwriter Rag’n’Bone Man has opted not to release one of his new songs as a single because it’s too miserable.
      The “Human” hitmaker was “drinking too much” when he wrote “Talking to Myself”, a ballad on his new album, “Life by Misadventure”, and listening back to the track when he was sober, he decided it’s a very “selfish” track the world doesn’t need right now.
      He tells The Sunday Times Culture Magazine, “I love the song, but listening back it is a bit ‘me, me, me’. Selfish sod! I have unequivocally told my label not to release it as a single. No one needs that much misery at the moment.”

      The track was the only song on the record inspired by the end of the star’s six-month marriage to Beth Rouy.
      He adds, “I told myself, ‘No love songs or break-up songs this time’. Then I went mental in one room for a while and let that one sneak in. Who isn’t bored of break-up songs? They’re everywhere these days.”
      “When gigs get going again, I don’t want to be standing next to a pianist on stage, looking all sad. I want to be at festivals, kicking a**e and making people dance.”
      Much of the new album was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, and the singer admits that living and working in the home of country music changed the way he approached his work, “I didn’t go to make country music, but the storytelling tradition of the city changed me,” he smiles. “I said stuff to strangers in writing rooms there which I wouldn’t have dreamt of here (in Britain).”

      Sam Fischer Turned to Demi Lovato After Original 'What Other People Say' Collaborator Bailed on Him

      by

      Instagram

      The new inspiring song ‘What Other People Say’ recently released by the ‘Sorry Not Sorry’ hitmaker and her Australian collaborator was originally meant for another artist.

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Singer/songwriter Sam Fischer’s new duet with Demi Lovato was meant for another artist – but she didn’t show up.
      The 29 year old admits “What Other People Say” started out as a track he was planning to record with someone else.
      “The writing session was actually supposed to be for another artist, but that artist didn’t turn up,” he tells The Sun. “Demi heard it and immediately connected with the lyrics.”
      “I felt like this was something that she really wanted to say and share from her own personal perspective, but she hadn’t found the words to do that yet. So it’s kind of nuts. Demi has one of the best voices in the world. My personal opinion is that she’s never sounded better than on this song. Her voice is other-worldly.”

      “She’s been through so much. And to have the ability to be able to almost relive what you’ve gone through to put into a song and share that with people and be able to use your experiences to help others is such a beautiful gift that she possesses.”
      [embedded content]
      Meanwhile, Sam recently hailed Demi, who suffered a sobriety relapse and an accidental overdose in 2018 as the “bravest” person he knows, adding, “It’s a real gift for her to be able to share everything she’s been through, because I imagine every time she thinks about it and every time she talks about it, it hurts.”
      “But she is giving millions of people around the world a chance to not feel alone in their struggle. Demi’s so brave – one of the bravest people I know – and she’s so talented. Demi Lovato is one of the greatest vocalists in the world so to be able to sing with her is such a dream come true for me.”

      by

      [embedded content]

      The stage is so pretty and colorful with extravagant lights that resembles the Las Vegas strip as the Canadian hitmaker previously claimed that he spent $7 million for it.

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – The Weeknd offered stunning performances for the Pepsi Super Bowl LV halftime performance on Sunday, February 7 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida. The Canadian hitmaker brought back his bandages, though it was not on him this time. Instead, it was his backdancers who had their faces wrapped in bandages while donning the singer’s signature red jackets.
      Sporting a sparkling red jacket, The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, kicked off his performance with his hit song “Starboy” with epic choir in the opening. The Weeknd also performed a medley of his hits, including “Can’t Feel My Face”, “Earned It” and his chart-topper track “Blinding Lights.”
      The stage was so pretty and colorful as it featured extravagant lights that resembled the Las Vegas strip. He previously revealed that he spent $7 million to make the performance like what he “envisioned.” Speaking with Billboard, he said, “We’ve been really focusing on dialing in on the fans at home and making performances a cinematic experience, and we want to do that with the Super Bowl.”

      Toward the end of the show, The Weeknd, who is the first Canadian to perform for Super Bowl halftime performance, moved to the field to sing “Blinding Lights”. He was joined by an army of bandaged-faced dancers. The dancers also had some kind of light on their hands which suit the title of the song that was being performed.
      Fans quickly showered The Weeknd with praises for the stunning performance. “The Weeknd with maybe the best halftime performance I’ve ever heard and seen. Wow! #SuperBowl,” one fan gushed. “I’ve never had such a fun time watching a halftime show in my lifeeeeee. Thank you @theweeknd,” another fan said.
      Ahead of his performance, The Weeknd explained that he would have no surprise guests. He said that there would only be members of his production joining him due to COVID-19 protocols. “I’ve been reading a lot of rumors,” he told the NFL Network Thursday. “There wasn’t any room to fit it in the narrative and the story I was telling in the performance. So there’s no special guests, no.”

      Super Bowl LV: Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan Make Historical National Anthem Performance

      by

      CBS

      The ‘Guys Like Me’ crooner and the ‘Bust Your Windows’ hitmaker team up as the first duet to sing ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ at the big game in over a decade.

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan made a historical national anthem performance at the Super Bowl LV. The two singers paired up as the first duet to sing “The Star Spangled Banner” at the big game in over a decade.
      The country music singer and the R&B star, who are both multiple Grammy-nominated artists, blended their vocals beautifully as they sang in Tampa at the Raymond James Stadium on Sunday, February 7, before Tampa Bay Buccaneers took on the Kansas City Chiefs. The “Need U Bad” songstress stood front and center while the “How ‘Bout You” hitmaker was right behind her.
      Church kicked off the performance, strumming his guitar and showed off his raspy vocals. Sullivan later joined in, with her raspy, but also heavy and rich vocals. They finished the song singing together, showing their perfect teamwork, while most players were standing, wearing masks with a hand over their heart.

      The last time a duet performed national anthem at the Super Bowl was when Aretha Franklin and Aaron Neville joined forces to sing “The Star Spangled Banner” in 2006. They were joined by Dr. John on the piano as they sang at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, before the game between Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers.
      Also performing before the kickoff of Super Bowl LV was H.E.R.. The Grammy-winning singer delivered a powerful rendition of “America the Beautiful” from an elevated platform near the stands while strumming her guitar.
      Giving it her own unique spins, the “I Can’t Breathe” singer slowed down the tempo of what is normally a pretty high energy song. Her performance was soulful, while also giving major rock vibes, which brought the audience to their feet.

      The Weeknd will later perform the halftime show. The performance will be “roughly 12-13 minutes long” and the “Starboy” singer will perform on the stage built within the stadium for the safety of workers and players amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

      Cardi B 'Really Upset' as She Claims Someone Mishandled Her New Single 'Up'

      by

      The ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker apologizes to her fans as they allegedly struggle to find the song on iTunes, claiming someone ‘dropped the ball’ which led to the glitch.

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Cardi B apologized to her fans on Instagram. Shortly after her new single “Up” and music video came out, she uploaded an apologetic video, claiming there’s an issue with the release because someone “dropped the ball.” She wrote in the caption, “I’m sorry if you having problems finding the song iTunes.”
      “I’m really grateful for the music video, it’s turning out amazing,” the femcee said. “I’m really upset right now. The Devil has been working really f**king hard, let me tell you. Because, I know people are having troubles finding the song on iTunes. I don’t even think the music video is up on iTunes yet.”
      “I don’t know who dropped the ball and gave in or didn’t gave in or whatever to iTunes, but I’ve been working. I’ve been calling people on the label all night. I don’t know,” she continued. “Make sure you check it out on all streaming services. I think the song was turned in late to avoid leaks and stuff. ”

      It’s not the only hiccup with Cardi’s new music, which she claimed was inspired by the Chicago Music Drill. The song release was also marred by plagiarism accusations.

        See also…

      Cardi was accused of ripping off New Jersey rap duo Mir Fontane and Mir Pesos over similarities between the hooks on her song and theirs. “@iamcardib we want my money,” the duo wrote on Twitter.
      She denied the allegations, “F**k the drama. RUN THE NUMBERS UP!!!” She then uploaded a video from her Instagram Live session where she previewed the song on August 7, a month before the duo released their music video.
      Fontane was quick to respond. He noted that, while their music video premiered in September, they previewed their song a month prior and “recorded it even earlier than that, Respectfully.” He also showed the video where they played a snippet of their song.
      Cardi, however, insisted, “Naaa im the type of person that avoids problems & court days. If i get inspired by a song I wouldn’t mind giving a percentage or couple of thousand but I never Hurd if this man.” She added, “I’m glad while I was recording this song in August I was playing wit the hook on this live.”
      She also pointed out that she’s not the producer so if someone had issues with a beat, she suggested the person “take it up” with the producer.

      The Weeknd Breaks Record With Greatest Hits Album Ahead of Super Bowl

      by

      The ‘Blinding Lights’ hitmaker is celebrating as he scores the most streamed album of all time on Spotify while gearing up for his Super Bowl halftime show.

      Feb 7, 2021
      AceShowbiz – The Weeknd has kicked off his Super Bowl weekend with a record-shattering greatest hits release.
      The Canadian pop star, who will headline the Super Bowl half-time show in Tampa, Florida on Sunday (07Feb20), dropped “The Highlights” on Friday – and it has already become the most streamed album of all time on Spotify.
      The release comes a day after The Weeknd announced dates for his rescheduled “After Hours World Tour”, which will keep him on the road for much of 2022, with 104 dates in North America and Europe planned, beginning in his native Canada on 14 January (22).
      The Weeknd has also dropped a video, entitled “The Last Meal Before the Super Bowl”, in which the “Blinding Lights” singer enjoys a final feast on the field before the big game.

        See also…

      The Weeknd has also announced a collaboration with food delivery service Postmates and their black-owned national merchant collection – Postmates users will be offered a collection of local options at the top of their feed when using the app. To kick the collaboration off, The Weeknd chose a local Tampa black-owned restaurant, Mama’s Southern Soul Food, to feed the frontline healthcare workers at AdventHealth Carrollwood, which is near Raymond James Stadium, where the Super Bowl will take place.
      The Weekend’s Super Bowl halftime gig will be set in the stands at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. Performers traditionally take over the centre of the field after the first half of the big game, but health and safety restrictions have driven the “Blinding Lights” singer to the terraces.
      There won’t be any special guests either during his performance.

      Foo Fighters: Pandemic Allows Fans to Be Familiar With Our New Songs Before We Return to Stage

      by

      Instagram

      Dave Grohl and his bandmates find silver linings in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, saying it allows fans to be more familiar with their new music before they’re eventually back on stage.

      Feb 7, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Foo Fighters hope fans will be “singing every word” of their new songs when they can finally perform live again.
      The “Shame Shame” hitmakers have just released their 10th album, “Medicine at Midnight”, which they originally planned to bring out last year (20) as part of a “worldwide celebration” of their 25th anniversary. And though the coronavirus pandemic has meant they can’t support the record with a tour, frontman Dave Grohl is hopeful the delay will make the tracks even more special.
      “We imagined that our 25th anniversary tour and our tenth album would both come together in this worldwide celebration that we would carry around like a circus until the wheels fell off,” he told Britain’s The Sun newspaper. “So when everything stopped it was strange waiting.”
      “The excitement of finishing a record usually rolls over into the beginning of the tour and watching the whole thing grow. From the songs to the production and the full band’s performance. We take it step by step eventually winding up at the big festivals and in the stadiums.”

        See also…

      “Seeing a song go from an idea written on a napkin to something that 60,000 people sing along to is a wild ride and it happens over time. So this is a broken process. But I had this idea that we should release the album sooner than later so that by the time we do hit the stage, people will be familiar with all of the new songs.”
      “A lot of the times when you come out with a new record, you start playing the new songs live and people aren’t entirely familiar with them so they have to grow in your ear and your heart. Now, by the time we hit the stage, people will be singing every word because they’ll have time to get to know it.”
      The “Times Like These” hitmakers were forced to spend eight months apart because of the global health crisis, but as soon as they got back into the same room, it was like they’d never been apart.
      “It felt like a dream,” Dave recalled. “We all walked into the room, one by one and saw each other for the first time in almost a year. No instruments or amplifiers. We just sat in the room together.”
      “It was a reunion of old friends who rely on each other for a lot more than just playing music. It was f**king beautiful. Then we put on our instruments, looked at each other and played ‘Learn to Fly’ and it sounded exactly the same as the last time we played it a year before. At the end we looked at each other and laughed. Hopefully we’ll be able to do that for the rest of our lives.”
