      Kane Brown Debuts Inspiring Single 'Worldwide Beautiful' Amid BLM Protests

      by

      Kane Brown has decided to release his new song early in hopes to ‘bring people together’ amid the nationwide protests against racial injustice in the United States.
      Jun 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Kane Brown brought forward the release of his new single “Worldwide Beautiful” to “bring people together” amid ongoing protests against racial injustice worldwide.
      The country music star took to Instagram to reveal he had been holding on to the song for a year, but decided to release it early in a bid to unite people during the continued unrest. “I’m hoping it will bring us together during this time and proceeds are being funded to the boys and girls club. I love you guys,” he wrote.
      The song, which was written by the 26-year-old along with Shy Carter, Ryan Hurd, and Jordan Schmidt, urges fans to come together and celebrate life, with lyrics including, “White churches, black churches/ Different people, same hearses/ It’s kinda hard to fight with each other/ Laying down in the ground, six under.”
      “At every show I see my people/ They ain’t the same, but they’re all equal/ One love, one God, one family,” the star sings.

      Earlier this week, Brown weighed in on the killing of African-American man George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis cops, lending his support to the Black Lives Matter movement.
      “I honestly think it’s ignorant as hell to kill a human being in cold blood without them doing anything especially handcuffed,” he wrote on Twitter.
      “If everyone was seen as people, if everyone was treated the same, if everyone was charged with the same sentence, this s**t wouldn’t be happening.”

      Lewis Capaldi Writes Love Letter to New Girlfriend in Next Album

      Instagram

      The ‘Someone You Loved’ singer reportedly addresses his relationship and has one song dedicated to girlfriend Catherine Halliday in his upcoming studio album.
      Jun 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lewis Capaldi’s relationship with student Catherine Halliday is going so well that he’s reportedly penned a song about their romance for his upcoming album.
      The Scottish singer was first linked to the redhead back in February 2020 and confirmed the fledgling relationship during a Zoom Q&A with fans last month. And now Lewis is preparing to reveal even more about his personal life after writing a tune about Catherine for his new record. According to Britain’s The Sun newspaper, the 23-year-old played the song for bosses at his record label last month.
      “Lewis’s tracks are mostly about love again but this time finding it, not losing it,” a source told the publication. “He’s smitten with Catherine and although it’s early days, she has a nod on one of the tracks he has written. Lewis mentions her hair and it’s really quite special. She’s made him realise how to be happy again.”
      “Lewis jokes a lot but as a songwriter he’s a huge talent. The songs are catchy and upbeat. It’s the same brilliant vocals and emotional lyrics but this time it’s got a lighter feel to it. Catherine was obviously made up there is a nod to her. She has something very special with Lewis.”
      Lewis first spoke about his new romance during the Zoom chat when he was asked if he prefers being in a relationship or single.
      “I’m in a relationship so if I said the other one, my girlfriend would kill me,” he laughed at the time. “I’ve never told anybody I’m in a relationship, so there you go. She’s got red hair, she’s got quite a posh voice. And that’s that, that’s all you’re getting.”
      The “Someone You Loved” star previously dated Paige Turley, who was crowned the winner of the last series of Britain’s “Love Island” alongside boyfriend Finn Tapp.

      Leigh-Anne Pinnock Told to 'Work Ten Times Harder' in Little Mix Because She's Black

      by

      Instagram

      The newly-engaged singer shares her experience with racism as she recalls her early days in Little Mix when she was warned she’s had to work harder because she’s not white.
      Jun 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Leigh-Anne Pinnock was warned she’d have to “work ten times harder” because she’s Black on the set of Little Mix’s first-ever music video shoot.
      The 28-year-old chart-topping star shared an emotional video on Instagram in which she described the inequality she has experienced despite her fame.
      Recalling a time when the group first appeared on the music scene after winning “The X Factor U.K.” in 2011, the singer said she was told by a music video director that she would endure more struggles than the rest of the group. Something she came to realise was true.
      “There comes a point in every black human’s life, no matter how much money you have or what you have achieved, you realise racism does not exclude you,” she shared. “Nine years ago, after joining Little Mix, I had the biggest awakening of my life. When we were filming Wings, we worked with Frank Gatson. He said to me, ‘You are the black girl, you have to work ten times harder.’ ”
      “Later on, what Frank Gatson said made sense. I learned that being in the biggest girl band in the world came with its flaws and consequences.”
      The tearful star continued, “My reality was feeling lonely while touring predominantly white countries. I sing to fans who don’t see me or hear me or cheer me on.”
      Leigh-Anne also shared that she “constantly” feels like the “least favoured” at fan signings and that her “talent alone isn’t enough.”
      “My reality is all the times I felt invisible within my group. Part of me is fully aware that my experience would have been ever harder to cope with had I been dark-skinned,” the “Black Magic” star concluded. “Our reality is no matter how far you think you’ve come, racism exists. So let’s all continue to speak up on racism and keep this movement going. Thank you.”

      The ‘Shape of You’ hitmaker has cut short his hiatus following his latest ‘Divide Tour’ to help up-and-coming artist Jeremy Loops work on a new studio album.
      Jun 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ed Sheeran has been in the studio helping up-and-coming music star Jeremy Loops work on a new album.
      The “Shape of You” hitmaker told fans back in December 2019 he was taking time out from music after wrapping his mammoth two-year “Divide Tour” – but, according to Jeremy, he broke his hiatus to help the rising star out on his record.
      The South African singer told Britain’s The Sun newspaper, “I arrived early in the morning and we worked all day on a few different songs.”
      “He’s known to be a very fast writer. He’s very fluid and moves quickly,” the hitmaker continued. “He can work with whoever he wants, so there’s something beautiful about the fact that he wanted to work with me.”
      He added, “I couldn’t have called him and been like, ‘Yeah, I want to work together, like, get ready.’ ”
      The new record will be Jeremy’s third – he’s already released 2014 debut “Trading Change” and the 2018 follow-up, “Critical as Water”.
      Meanwhile, Ed has finally got some rest during the coronavirus lockdown, with reports suggesting he’s been taking up numerous new hobbies, including gardening, beekeeping, and brewing beer for his pub in Suffolk, England.

      Pet Shop Boys' Classic Hit 'West End Girls' Crowned as Greatest No. 1 Single in U.K.

      by

      The single released in 1984 by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe has been named the greatest number one song in the United Kingdom, beating the classic tracks by The Beatles and Donna Summer.
      Jun 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Pet Shop Boys’ debut single “West End Girls” has been named the greatest U.K. number one single by The Guardian.
      The classic track topped the publication’s run-down of 100 classic hits, beating out Dead or Alive’s “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)”, Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love”, The Beatles’ “She Loves You”, and The Specials’ “Ghost Town”, which ranked from fifth to second place, respectively.
      Reflecting on bagging the top spot, singer Neil Tennant confessed he never would have predicted the end result, admitting, “I would have chosen Good Vibrations. It’s obviously intensely subjective.”
      “I can see that West End Girls is quite a lot of records in one record,” he explained. “It’s a dance record. It was actually written to be a rap record, back in the day. It’s a moody soundscape. It’s about the city at night. It’s about boys and girls meeting to have fun and presumably to bond.”
      The “Go West” singer continued, “It’s about sex. It’s paranoid. At the same time, its message is sort of like Dancing in the Streets – it’s about escape into the city at night, which is emblematic of pleasure.”
      The full top 100 from The Guardian is available to view here.

      The ‘Rain on Me’ singer has entered the U.K. albums chart at the top spot with her sixth studio album, marking the fourth time she tops the weekly album rankings across the pond.
      Jun 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa has landed her fourth U.K. number one with the fastest-selling album of the year so far.
      “Chromatica” has debuted at the top with 53,000 equivalent sales units, outperforming the rest of the top 10 combined.
      The project, Gaga’s first solo album since “Joanne” in 2016, forces KSI to hold steady at two with “Dissimulation” ahead of Lewis Capaldi’s “Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent” at three.
      Meanwhile, three tracks from “Chromatica” have also charted in the U.K. singles countdown, with last week’s May 29, 2020 number one, “Rain on Me” with Ariana Grande, slipping to two, while “Sour Candy”, featuring K-pop stars Blackpink, and “Alice” enter at number 17 and 29, respectively.
      Rapper DaBaby takes “Rockstar” back to first place for a third non-consecutive week as “Rover” by S1mba featuring DTG is a non-mover at three.
