      Billie, who sings mostly in Spanish on the track, revealed during her appearance on Apple Music’s Zane Lowe on Thursday, January 21 that she involved her entire family when she worked on the English lyrics. In addition to her brother and collaborator Finneas, the Grammy-winning artist sat down with her mother and father in the studio after their Friday tradition of dinner for the final English lyrics.
      “So my mom, my dad, Finneas, me, Finneas’ girlfriend Claudia, we all came down to the studio, and we listened, and me and Finneas were like, ‘Should we just write this line right now?’ ” the Grammy-winning artist shared. “So I was sitting in the room with my entire family. We both, all of us, including my dad and my mom, they were like, ‘What if it was like….’ We were all giving ideas. So technically they should have a writing credit, because we all wrote that line right at the end.”
      Billie added that she managed to convince Rosalia to let her sing in Spanish. “I remember when we were writing the song, I remember her saying something about, ‘It should be in English.’ And I was like, ‘No, no, no. It should be in Spanish. It’s so beautiful.’ And I’ve always loved music that isn’t in English,” the “Bad Guy” singer told Zane. “I like tons of music from languages I don’t even speak. … I’ve been really intrigued by it pretty much my whole life. There’s so many Russian songs I like, and Spanish and French.”

      Instagram

      Looking back at the hit song that launched the ‘American Idol’ alum into stardom, the ‘Need You Now’ singer reveals it was pitched to her before she teamed up with Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood.

      Jan 22, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Carrie Underwood’s breakthrough hit “Jesus, Take the Wheel” was almost recorded by Lady A’s Hillary Scott.
      The “Need You Now” singer tells Taste of Country the track was pitched to her when she had a solo development deal with a Nashville, Tennessee record label before she became a member of what was then Lady Antebellum.
      “It was one of my favourites, and then that was all right in the time she (Underwood) was on American Idol,” Scott recalls. “She was a country artist on American Idol, which was amazing, and that song really spoke to her.”
      Carrie went on to win the talent show and released “Jesus, Take the Wheel” as the first single from her debut album, “Some Hearts”, in 2005. It went to number one the following January (06) and helped Carrie pick up the Academy of Country Music Award for Single of the Year and Grammys for Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance.

      “She goes on to take it and it’s a huge hit and the message of the song is so beautiful,” Scott notes. “It’s neat to have watched the journey of that song.”
      Scott went on to form Lady A with Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood in 2006.

      That aside, Lady A was surprised to find out that they were invited to Grand Ole Opry. “An invitation into the @opry makes country artists like us feel like we will always have a home—a place to celebrate country music, play our songs, visit with our friends and fans…a place to belong. Thank you @opry and thank you @dariusrucker for sharing the good news with us.

      Bob Dylan Hit With Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuit by Late Co-Songwriter's Wife

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ hitmaker and Universal Music Group have been named defendants in a lawsuit launched by the wife of his late co-songwriter over alleged unpaid royalties.

      Jan 22, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Bob Dylan and Universal Music Group are being sued for $7.25 million (£5.3 million).
      The legendary singer/songwriter sold the rights to his entire song catalogue – which includes tunes that span his 60-year career – to the label in December for over $300 million (£219 million), but Claudia Levy, the wife of the late Jacques Levy, has claimed her spouse’s estate have not received any money from the deal.
      Levy – who died in 2004 – co-wrote seven of the nine songs on Dylan’s 1976 album “Desire”, and Claudia insisted in a claim made to Manhattan’s Supreme Court that his estate is owed 35 per cent “of any and all income earned by the compositions” including “35 per cent of the purchase price paid to the Dylan defendants.”
      The suit highlighted the fact “Desire” topped the Billboard Pop Album chart for five weeks and the double platinum-selling record was ranked 174th on Rolling Stone Magazine’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
      Levy’s company and his wife asked for their “rightful share” of the sale to UMG around a week after it was completed last month (Dec20), but the “Like a Rolling Stone” hitmaker and his companies have refused to pay out, the court documents allege.

        See also…

      And the court papers claimed the refusal followed a pattern of Dylan not giving Levy songwriting credit throughout the years, including in 2019’s Martin Scorsese film “Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story”.
      The suit said, “The Dylan defendants have engaged in a civilly wrong pattern and history of intentionally and maliciously ignoring and disregarding plaintiff’s rights, including those to income and any and all revenue generated by the compositions, including the subject buy-out of the catalogue sale.”
      And Claudia’s lawyer, Richard Golub, told the New York Post newspaper, “There is a great creative history between Jacques and Bob.”
      A lawyer acting on behalf of the “Blowin’ in the Wind” singer insisted there was no money owed to the estate.
      Orin Snyder said in a statement, “This lawsuit is a sad attempt to unfairly profit off of the recent catalog sale. The plaintiffs have been paid everything they are owed. We are confident that we will prevail. And when we do, we will hold plaintiffs and their counsel responsible for bringing this meritless case.”
      A spokesperson for Universal Music Group declined to comment.

      The NSYNC star and Clemons have made their collaboration available for download after the duo performed the song at the TV special celebrating Joe Biden’s inauguration.

      Jan 22, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Justin Timberlake and Ant Clemons have released their powerful new version of “Better Days”, which they performed for the “Celebrating America” special on Wednesday night (20Jan21), as a new single.
      The track, featuring gospel great Kirk Franklin and students and alumni from the Stax Music Academy in Timberlake’s native Memphis, Tennessee, was made available as a download as soon as it aired on the TV event, hosted by Tom Hanks, which took place after Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were sworn in as America’s 46th President and the nation’s first female Vice-President in Washington, D.C.

      Timberlake and Clemons performed the track at the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, which is housed on the site of Stax Records, where soul legends like Otis Redding, Booker T & the MGS, Carla Thomas, Isaac Hayes, and William Bell recorded their hits.
      “The fact that the Stax Museum and Stax Music Academy were chosen by Justin Timberlake, Ant Clemons and the Presidential Inaugural Committee to represent Memphis, Tennessee in the 2021 presidential inauguration, speaks not only volumes about the power, magic, and timelessness of soul music, but also casts a bright light on the work we have been doing here at the Soulsville Foundation for more than 20 years now,” said Soulsville Foundation President and CEO Richard Greenwald.
      “We are grateful to our friend Justin Timberlake for embracing our mission and genuinely caring about the young people with whom we work every day.”
      Timberlake and Clemons premiered “Better Days” for Rock the Runoff, a virtual fundraiser for Stacy Abrams’ organisation, Fair Fight in December (20). Clemons first conceived the idea of the song months before the presidential election in November and invited Timberlake to feature on the track. Justin laid down his vocals on election night as he watched the returns.

      Lil Wayne Celebrates Presidential Pardon With New Song

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Lollipop’ hitmaker has dropped a new song called ‘Ain’t Got Time’, only one day after he was granted clemency by Donald Trump in his last hours as president.

      Jan 22, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Lil Wayne has released his first new music since being pardoned by Donald Trump.
      The former U.S. President pardoned over 100 people during his last day in office on Tuesday (19Jan21), including the 38-year-old rap star, who had pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a loaded weapon on a private jet.
      Days later, the “Lollipop” hitmaker, real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., has shared his new track on Twitter, “Ain’t Got Time”, featuring Foushee, which appears to reference the incident in December 2019, when he was a passenger on a plane searched by federal agents in Miami.
      He raps, “The feds they hot on us … they raided my private plane.”

      As a convicted felon, following a gun charge in 2007, Wayne could have faced the possibility of a 10-year spell in prison.

      However, he received the pardon from the billionaire businessman, having previously endorsed Trump for reelection.
      Last year, he wrote on Twitter, “Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump @potus besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done. (sic)”
      Wayne’s tweet included a picture of the two of them together and prompted a backlash from some of his followers.
      Prior to being pardoned, the “Sucker for Pain” star released his rendition of NFL anthem “Green and Yellow”.
      The lifelong Green Bay Packers supporter was asked by the American football team to put his own spin on the song.
      He said, “I did a song before and we had a good turnout. It was successful. We had good results, and we’re going to try to do it again this time … I put a lot of time into it. I worked on it for three days, too. I don’t do that.”
