    Little Mix Hosting Their Own Show in 'Break Up Song' Music Video

    Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jade Thirlwall are hosting a show called ‘Good Morning Break Up’ in a music video for their latest single.
    May 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Little Mix have premiered the official video for their new single, “Break Up Song”.
    The group released the track in March 2020 but, due to nationwide lockdown measures across the U.K., the stars were left “gutted” after they were unable to record a high-budget video for the tune.
    Taking matters into their own hands, singers Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jade Thirlwall, came up with a creative, 1980s inspired alternative.
    In the clip, each girl has their own felt alter-ego and role in a fictional Little Mix TV show, titled “Good Morning Break Up”. It kicks off with Leigh-Anne running a phone-in for brokenhearted viewers before Jesy takes centre stage to do the weather report.
    Later, Perrie’s alter-ego leads an aerobic dance routine in the second verse while Jade has her moment in the spotlight, turning into a fortune teller looking into a crystal ball.
    During the chorus, the girls come into shot, each dancing around and singing in front of identical pink, shimmering backdrops with a high energy routine, proving they wouldn’t let the unfavourable situation get them down.

    The new video comes after Little Mix cancelled their summer U.K. tour due to the Covid-19 crisis. Their TV talent show, “Little Mix: The Search”, has also been delayed due to the pandemic.

    May 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Bob Dylan has announced his first album of original songwriting in eight years.
    “Rough and Rowdy Ways” will be released on June 19, 2020, following three albums of cover versions, reported The Guardian.
    Two songs from the new album have been released in recent weeks. “Murder Most Foul”, his longest song ever at 17 minutes, a mystical reflection on the JFK assassination that also recalls decades of American pop culture, and “I Contain Multitudes”.

    On Friday, May 8, 2020, Dylan dropped a third song from the album, the guitar-heavy “False Prophet”.
    [embedded content]
    “I ain’t no false prophet,” Dylan riffs in his trademark growl. “I just know what I know.” As he quotes Martin Luther’s phrase “enemy of strife” and tells a “poor devil” to look up at a “city of God” before ending the song by singing, “I can’t remember when I was born/ and I forgot when I died.”
    [embedded content]
    The new album has ten tracks; on the CD version, the 17-minute-long “Murder Most Foul” gets its own disc.
    Dylan’s last album of new songs was 2012’s “Tempest”, which he followed with three collections of standards: “Shadows in the Night”, “Fallen Angels”, and “Triplicate”.
    “Rough and Rowdy Ways”, which takes inspiration from the 1929 Jimmie Rodgers classic “My Rough and Rowdy Ways”, will be his 39th studio album. The “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” singer released his self-titled debut album in 1962.
    The 78-year-old was due to tour Japan in April, but was forced to cancel the concerts due to the coronavirus outbreak.

    JoJo Assigns Mother to Lighting Duty When Shooting Sensual Music Video for 'Comeback'

    Instagram

    Aside from sharing the behind-the-scenes story, the ‘Leave (Get Out)’ singer promotes her new song featuring Tory Lanez and 30 Roc as one that oozes the ‘sexy time playlist’ vibe.
    May 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – JoJo has apparently made the filming of her music video for “Comeback” a family affair. On Thursday, May 7, the “Too Little Too Late” hitmaker released the “very sexy” visual for the latest single off her “Good to Know” album, and revealed in an interview that her mother did lend a hand during its production.
    Speaking about the sensual music video, the 29-year-old singer told E!’s Scott Tweedie for HappE! Hour that it was shot at her home in Los Angeles. “This table that I’m talking to you on, we turned it into a surface for me to kind of crawl on and dance on and do all these things,” she dished. “And my mom was, like, helping hold up the lighting and stuff.”
    Though admitting that having her mother around during the sensual shoot “was weird,” the “Leave (Get Out)” singer still found the process “fun.” On the reason why, she explained, “My mom, she’s no prude. So it’s not like she was like ‘oh my!’ clutching pearls or anything.” She additionally noted that a friend, “who’s a director, come through – wearing a mask and everything” to do the shoot.
    When discussing the single featuring Tory Lanez and 30 Roc, JoJo acknowledged its steamy elements. “I guess some people are surprised to hear me talkin’ that way,” she weighed in before pointing out, “But yeah, it’s a fun song. You definitely need to add it to your sexy time playlist type of vibe.”

    Upon releasing the promo video, JoJo announced in an Instagram post, “this is dedicated to everyone who’s looking forward to that post-quarantine comeback with bae.” She continued spilling, “made this video IN MY CRIB !!! #quarantinestyle @torylanez and I shot our parts in separate states (f*kin ‘rona…) but AYE. we made it WERK. Ps- we accept no liability for any babies made as a result of your post covid comeback sex.”

    “Comeback” comes from JoJo’s fourth studio album “Good to Know”, which was released on May 1. She explained that she was abstaining from sex in her process of making the record. “The album just finds me processing and getting to a place of realising I’ve never been alone my whole adult life,” she told PEOPLE. “I’ve always been in a relationship with somebody, and I was delaying a really important part of becoming an adult, which is being independent.”

    Guns N' Roses' 'Sweet Child O' Mine' Turned Into Children's Book

    The book inspired by the daughter and niece of the band’s manager and authored by James Patterson is expected to use lyrics of the rock group’s classic single.
    May 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Prolific U.S. author James Patterson has written a new children’s book based on Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine” hit.

    French Montana Demands Royalty From Swae Lee's 'Powerglide'

    WENN/instagram

    In a new interview, the ‘Lockjaw’ hitmaker also calls out the Rae Sremmurd member for putting out the sequel of his hit record ‘Unforgettable’ without including him.
    May 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – French Montana once again made a wild statement during an interview. After making headlines for his remarks about outshining Kendrick Lamar, French appeared to throw major shade at Swae Lee.
    Speaking with Billboard, the “That’s a Fact” rapper alluded that he produced the Rae Sremmurd artist’s song “Powerglide” but never got credited for it. Additionally, he called out Swae for putting out the sequel of his hit record “Unforgettable” without including him.
    “If I didn’t structure the song, what happened when they put out ‘Unforgettable’ part 2, ‘Guatemala’? How come that didn’t sell nine million?” asked French. “That’s how they try and do me. I do ‘Unforgettable’, they take me out and he replaces me with somebody else to come out with a part 2. I never took it no way.”

    Just recently, French revealed in a phone call interview with Big Boy TV that he used to have an awkward moment when he and Kodak Black filmed music video for his hit “Lockjaw”. “Me and him didn’t have one conversation when we shot the video,” French explained. “I just looked at him and he growled at me,” he went on saying while laughing.
    That is not the only wild remark that French made during recent interview. He previously sparked controversy after he said that he would outshine Kendrick Lamar. “I could go against anybody. You could put somebody like Kendrick Lamar next to me on the same stage at a festival, I might outshine him. Not because I’m a better rapper, or whatever it is. It’s just that I got more hits,” he told Complex in an interview earlier this month.
    He went on explaining, “Kendrick Lamar got albums. He got masterpieces. But if you want to put us on the festival stage, I would outshine him because I have more hits than Kendrick Lamar.”
    The Bronx rapper received backlash from Kendrick fans, prompting the “Welcome to the Party” spitter to clarify on his Twitter account. “IF WE JUST TALKING ABOUT ANTHEMS, !! ME VS KENDRICK HIT FOR HIT ! I BELIEVE I CAN GO NECK TO NECK !!” French insisted. “I BEEN MAKING HITS FOR A LONG TIME ! IT AINT MY FAULT I BELIEVE IN MYSELF. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION ? HOW MANY TIMES I GOTTA PROVE MYSELF BEFORE I GET MINE.”
    Assuring that there’s no bad blood between him and Kendrick, French added, “I love kendrick! that’s not just for kendrick that’s to anybody they put in front of me, and ask me that same question that u want me to say lol ? It should be your attitude too. If u think any less of yourself don’t blame it on the next person who don’t ! set it up.”
