    Artist of the Week: DaBaby

    The ‘Bob’ hitmaker celebrates his second No. 1 album and shuts his haters up as his third studio installment ‘Blame It on Baby’ climbed atop the Billboard charts.
    May 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – DaBaby is not a one-hit wonder. After making his first breakthrough in 2019, he proved himself to be a hitmaker as he released one successful single after another. Be it his own song or another artist’s where he’s a featured guest, it soared high on the charts and became popular with the crowd.
    Some of his big hits included “Suge”, “Intro”, and “Bob” from his first two studio albums. Camila Cabello’s single “My Oh My” where he spits his rhymes also climbed up to the top 20, not just in the U.S. Billboard rankings but also in the singles charts all over the globe.
    The 28-year-old Charlotte lyricist has also got recognitions from heavyweight names like Jay-Z and P. Diddy. “Suge” is named one of Jay-Z’s favorite songs of 2019 while Diddy heaped praise on the “Kirk” rapper and crowned him the hottest star in the rap game right now.
    DaBaby kept his momentum going by dropping a third studio installment. However, the higher the hill, the stronger the wind blows. As soon as the new album “Blame It on Baby” was released, it became a subject of harsh criticisms by fans on the internet but the “Find My Way” rapper was undeterred.
    By the end of the week, the album jumped straight to the first spot on Billboard Hot 200, proving that the mean comments didn’t really represent the masses. The album marked his second No. 1 album and the single “Rockstar” peaked at the top 10 on Hot 100.
    Soon after the chart rankings were revealed, he poked fun at the trolls who had been trying to discourage him with their sneers and jeers. He posted a video on Instagram, pretending to get angry and furiously slamming the trash bin before spitting on it.
    “This what my trolls do to my music when they put in hard work doin all that hatin and my s**t STILL top the charts,” he wrote in the caption while bragging about his latest accomplishments. He added, “Relax bro, I love y’all too…. no cap. #BlameItOnBaby.”

    Kelly Rowland Blames Album Delay on Her Own Incompetence

    WENN

    The former Destiny’s Child member admits she’s inept at using music software so she’s not as productive as she wanted to be during the ongoing coronavirus lockdown.
    May 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – R&B star Kelly Rowland has had to put her plans to make new music in lockdown on hold because she has no idea how to record her own vocals.
    The “Motivation” hitmaker admits her time in coronavirus isolation so far hasn’t been as productive as she would have liked because she’s reliant on her engineer to help lay down tracks professionally.
    “I wish that I would have learned how to work Pro Tools (audio programme),” she laments to The Associated Press.
    “I think now, it makes you definitely want to learn… I heard Ariana Grande does it. I heard Trey Songz does it. So many different artists are like, ‘Yeah, I’m going to do that over,’ and they’re operating their own sessions.”
    “I’m like, ‘Why didn’t I learn how to do that?’ That’s probably my next goal is to learn how to record myself because I could have gotten so many things done. I’ve been sent songs since being quarantined (sic) and I’m literally waiting for my engineer to come out of his quarantine.”
    Kelly, who recently debuted her new single, “Coffee”, has been hard at work on her first solo album since 2013 and she insists the project is close to completion, even if the COVID-19 outbreak has made the process “a little more challenging to navigate.”
    “I have at least one more record to do,” she shares. “In my gut, I feel like I have like one more record to do.”
    But she assures fans the follow-up to “Talk a Good Game” will drop before the end of 2020. “Definitely this year. I’m not waiting anymore. I’m not wasting anymore time. I’m doing it this year,” she declares.
    Kelly is currently an independent artist although she has a new management home in Roc Nation – the label founded by rap mogul Jay-Z, who is married to her best friend and Destiny’s Child bandmate, Beyonce Knowles.
    “It’s family and it just happened,” she says of signing with Roc Nation officials to manage her career. “It just really happened to work and it’s working out really well so far.”
    “My team, I have a great team. It’s not to say I didn’t have a great team before, I had a great team before. You evolve, you move on and that’s really it and Roc Nation is home now.”
    Kelly joins a roster which already boasts Mariah Carey, Big Sean, Megan Thee Stallion, and Nick Jonas as Roc Nation management clients.

    John Stamos and Beach Boys Team Up for Charity Song

    Instagram

    The former ‘Full House’ actor is recruited by Mike Love to help The Beach Boys with their new song ‘This Shall Too Pass’ to raise money for the hungry amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
    May 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The Beach Boys star Mike Love has reteamed with actor pal John Stamos to offer fans an uplifting new song to raise their spirits amid the coronavirus doom and gloom.
    “Fuller House” star Stamos, who has often toured with Love’s Beach Boys, appears on “This Too Shall Pass”, which the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer wrote “as a fun way to encourage positivity during this unprecedented time.”
    Stamos also produced the song’s video which, like the track, dropped on Friday, May 1, 2020.

    Proceeds from download sales of “This Too Shall Pass” will benefit Feeding America’s COVID-19 Response Fund to help food banks across the country as they support communities impacted by the pandemic.
    “A lifetime of performing to millions of people all over the world and suddenly everything came to a halt,” said Love. “I’ve lived through enough good times and bad to know that eventually, this too shall pass, and better days are yet to come. With today being May Day, new beginnings are around (the) corner and as the lyrics of this song say, ‘We’ll get back to havin’ fun, fun, fun in the sun.’ ”
    Stamos, who drums on the track, tells WENN, “I’m really proud of Mike for writing this song. About three weeks into the pandemic, Mike, his wife Jacquelyne and I discussed out how to contribute to the crisis. I suggested he do a parody of one of his songs like Neil Diamond did with Sweet Caroline. He insisted on doing something original and then he started singing This Too Shall Pass. I thought it was really special.”
    “At 79 years old, he could be on a boat counting his royalty cheques on the way to Kokomo, but not Mike. He continues to challenge himself and care deeply about the world and the people in it. That’s why it was so important for him to do something new, and say something hopeful.”
