      Sam Smith to Explore 'Queerness' in New Album

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Stay With Me’ singer is expected to explore their gender and queerness in the next studio installment which is pushed back due to coronavirus pandemic.
      May 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Sam Smith’s new album will explore the singer’s “queerness.”
      Last year 2019, Sam opened up about their gender in a candid social media post, revealing they’re gender non-binary and prefer to identify with “they/them” pronouns.
      Speaking during a recent interview on ABC Radio, the star discussed their forthcoming third album, which is expected to be released later this year and confessed the collection is “really deep into exploring my gender (and) exploring my queerness.”
      “I changed my pronouns and I was feeling so happy to be myself,” they said. “I was going out in Los Angeles a lot and I was dancing and I was drinking loads, having a wonderful time with all my friends.”
      “I went into the studio and the guys who were writing with me said, ‘What do you want to say?’ ”
      The “Stay with Me” hitmaker’s new album, originally titled “To Die For”, had been scheduled to drop in May, but due to the Covid-19 crisis they pressed pause on the release and plans to rework and rename the collection in response to the global pandemic.
      “I have done a lot of thinking the last few weeks and feel that the title of my album and imminent release doesn’t feel right, so I have come to the decision to continue working on the album and make some important changes and additions,” Sam said.
      “I will be renaming my album and pushing back the release date – both of which are to be confirmed at this time.”
      A new date/title has yet to be announced.

      Jeff Scott Soto reveals, in an interview with web personality Miles Schuman, there were ‘discussions’ about him joining Brian May and Roger Taylor as Paul Rodgers’ replacement.
      Apr 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Sons of Apollo singer Jeff Scott Soto was almost recruited to join Queen before Adam Lambert landed the gig.
      The former Journey rocker, who was one of the vocalists for tribute act “Queen Extravaganza”, reveals there were “discussions” about him joining Brian May and Roger Taylor as Paul Rodgers’ replacement – but his dream gig was not to be.
      “I can’t go into the specifics and I don’t wanna go into anything that throws caution to the wind, basically. I can’t really elaborate. There were discussions, let’s just put it this way,” he tells web personality Miles Schuman.
      “There was a short little window of time before Adam that there was a discussion and it didn’t get past that. So I’ll just leave it at that. I value my friendship and everything that I have with those guys, so I’m not gonna say anything to pat myself on the back just for people to go, ‘Hey, you should have…’ It’s not necessary…”
      “There were inklings at one point, and it just didn’t turn into anything.”
      Meanwhile, Soto and bassist pal Kuky Sanchez joined May and Taylor from their homes for a virtual performance of Queen’s “We Are The Champions” earlier this month.

      The Game Imagines Kobe Bryant and Nipsey Hussle as Basketball Buddies in 'Welcome Home' Video

      by

      [embedded content]

      The Compton native pays tribute to the late basketball legend and the fallen ‘Racks in the Middle’ rapper in the animated music video for the song off his latest album ‘Born 2 Rap’.
      Apr 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The Game is keeping the memory of Kobe Bryant and Nipsey Hussle alive through a new music video for “Welcome Home”. On Wednesday, April 29, the Compton native released visuals for the track of his “Born 2 Rap” album, presenting him as basketball buddies with the late NBA legend and the “Racks in the Middle” rapper.
      The four-and-a-half minute animation video is kicked off by The Game’s character sitting on what seems to be a cafe, donning a white top with his face tattoo on full display. “I wake up every mornin’ on the same s**t … N***as I used to hang with, is still gang, gang with Lamborghini outside but, n***a, that won’t change s**t,” he can be heard singing, additionally giving a shoutout to fellow spitters Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
      In the Stefano Bertelli-directed clip, both Nipsey’s and Kobe’s characters team up to play basketball in an outdoor arena. Kobe wears his yellow Lakers’ jersey complete with his iconic number 24 displayed on its back. Meanwhile, Nipsey rocks a purple sportwear with his name though he has no number written on it.
      At one point, Nipsey’s posthumous voice can be heard rapping on the chorus, “Twenty million dollars actin’ broke, n***a (Broke, n***a)/ All you n***as sleep, stay woke, n***a (Work, n***a)/ All my n***as came up sellin’ dope, n***a (Dope, n***a)/ Why the f**k you think they call us dope n***as?/ Broken home, broken dreams, no hope, n***a (No hope, n***a).” He also poses atop his Marathon Clothing store.

      The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor, has always been open about his affection toward Kobe and Nipsey. In mid-February, he inked his face with Kobe’s signature and first jersey’s number, 8. “F O R E V E R,” he simply captioned an Instagram post flaunting his new tattoo.

      In late March, the MC paid tribute to Nipsey by uploading a photo that saw his painting. “Hu$$le man….. can’t believe it’s been one year since you departed from this krazy world,” he said in a lengthy message. “…You have truly touched the hearts of people all around the world. Your face is everywhere… your music is timeless & your words are heard loud & clear.”

      by

      Instagram

      Under home confinement upon his release from jail due to coronavirus concerns, the ‘Fefe’ rapper is allowed to ‘conduct employment-related activities outside of the residence.’
      Apr 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – A judge has granted rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine permission to shoot music videos on his property.
      The star put in a request to shoot promos in his New York backyard while under home confinement and now he has been given the green light to do so.
      According to documents obtained by TMZ, Judge Engelmayer gave the rapper permission “to conduct employment-related activities outside of the residence but within the confines of the rented property.”
      Tekashi is allowed to carry out two hours of employment related activities per week and can work on new music in his basement but it’s “limited to no more than an 8-hour period per day,” with his schedule subject to approval by his probation officer.
      The “FEFE” star, real name Daniel Hernandez, was released from prison earlier this month and allowed to serve out the rest of his federal sentence at home due to coronavirus concerns as he is an asthma sufferer.
      Tekashi, 23, was sentenced to 24 months behind bars for gang-related activity in December 2019.

I mean these vocals are giving me Destiny’s Child/Dangerously in Love vibes!” another gushed.

Let’s have THAT conversation,” one more person said, while another individual wrote, “Beyonce gave us several different flows AND a vocal. She didn’t have to wash like this.”

      R. Kelly Accused of Stealing Bow Wow's Song, Rapper Defends Him

      by

      WENN/Instagram/JLN Photography

      One individual says on social media, ‘N***a don’t even know that R. Kelly stole that ‘I’m a Flirt’ song from Bow Wow lol the original song is Bow Wow ft. R. Kelly.’
      Apr 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – R. Kelly’s issues just keep increasing as he continues to spend his days behind the bars. This time around, the disgraced singer has been accused of stealing Bow Wow’s song “I’m a Flirt”, though the person in question has since come to his defense.
      It all started after someone tweeted, “N***a don’t even know that R. Kelly stole that ‘I’m a Flirt’ song from Bow Wow lol the original song is Bow Wow ft. R. Kelly, this n***a R. Kelly remixed it and didn’t even put Bow Wow on that b***h lmao that’s so petty.” Bow Wow apparently caught wind of the comment and was quick to give a clarification of what really happened behind the scenes.
      Quote-retweeting the person’s post, the 33-year-old star said, “I signed off on the record. He gave me my writing credits. I still get paid from both versions. Still a Bow Wow record.”

      The original version of “I’m a Flirt” was supposed to serve as the second single off Bow Wow’s fifth album “The Price of Fame” but the decision changed to “Outta My System”. Instead, Kelly remixed the song with T.I. and T-Pain and made it the lead single off his album “Double Up”. It peaked at No. 12 on Billboard’s Hot 100 as the remix got more love than the original.
      Kelly is currently behind the bars after being charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. The charges alleged that the singer sexually abused four females, three of whom were minors at the time, from 1998 to 2010. Most recently, Kelly filed an “emergency” request for home confinement due to the Coronavirus pandemic as one detainee on his floor was tested positive for the virus. However, he was denied bail.

      Linkin Park Put Plan for New Music on Hold Over Coronavirus Pandemic

      by

      Instagram

      Bassist Dave ‘Phoenix’ Farrell reveals on the Dan Really Likes Wine livestream that the band had actually begun working on new ideas just before COVID-19 forced people into isolation.
      Apr 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The coronavirus outbreak has forced rockers Linkin Park to press pause on the band’s first new material since the death of frontman Chester Bennington.
      The “Crawling” hitmakers went on hiatus following Bennington’s tragic suicide in 2017, but they regrouped for a memorial show in Los Angeles that October, and in 2018, co-vocalist Mike Shinoda admitted he was open to touring with his bandmates again, if they were ready.
      Last year (19), group DJ Joe Hahn explained the musicians had started discussions about their recording future, and now bassist Dave Farrell has revealed they had actually begun working on new ideas just before the COVID-19 pandemic forced people into isolation.
      “For us, with the band, we’ve been kinda writing and doing that before this all started,” Farrell shared during a recent appearance on the “Dan Really Likes Wine” livestream.
      Although the global health crisis has prevented the surviving bandmates from regrouping in person, they have made time to connect virtually.
      “Casually at this point, we’re doing Zoom (video) meetings to eat lunch together and say, ‘Hi,’ ” he continued. “But we’re not able to get together and write or do that whole bit. So (we’re) working at home a little bit, working up ideas.”
      And Farrell has been using the extra downtime to perfect a new musical skill – while also enjoying a little alone time away from his family. “I’ve been playing a lot of drums, just to do something new – I’ve been doing that for the last year, year and a half,” he said, “and purposely making as much noise as possible to create my own space in the house.”

      Linkin Park’s last album, “One More Light”, was released in May 2017, just two months before Bennington’s death.
