      Mar 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Rihanna’s long-awaited music comeback is finally here. On Friday, March 27, the Barbadian songstress surprised her fans by announcing the release of her collaboration with PARTYNEXTDOOR’s “Believe It”. She tweeted, “Believe it!! @partynextdoor album live!!!” along with a snippet of the music.
      The new song, which has been made available for listening pleasure on YouTube and music streaming platforms, is a groove-filled slow jam that features Rihanna’s vocals at various points on the song. She takes up roughly 40 seconds of the track. “That’s when you believe it,” she croons on the hook. “That’s when you believe it/ Believe you want to see me.”

      “Believe It” marks Rihanna’s first new music in three years. She previously teamed up with PND on her Drake-assisted single “Work”, which the Canadian singer/songwriter co-wrote.
      “Believe It” is part of PND’s upcoming album “Partymobile”, his first album in four years, which was unveiled on Thursday at midnight via OVO Sound. The 15-track set also boasts a Drake collaboration, “Loyal”, which has spanned a remix.
      Rihanna, meanwhile, was last featured in a single in 2017, when she appeared on N.E.R.D’s epic “Lemon”, Future’s “Selfish”, DJ Khaled’s “Wild Thoughts” and Kendrick Lamar’s “Loyalty”. Her last album “ANTI” debuted in 2016.
      Her fans have since eagerly anticipated for her new album, which is dubbed “R9”. In October, she teased her upcoming new album, “I like to look at it as a reggae-inspired or reggae-infused album. It’s not gonna be typical of what you know as reggae. But you’re going to feel the elements in all of the tracks.”

      by

      WENN

      Surprising fans with the release of 17-minute-long ‘Murder Most Foul’, the ‘Hurricane’ singer introduced it as ‘an unreleased song we recorded a while back that you might find interesting.’
      Mar 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Bob Dylan surprised fans by dropping his first new song in eight years on Thursday night, March 26, – the 17-minute-long “Murder Most Foul”.
      The 78-year-old singer’s new track tells the story of the assassination of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy and includes lines such as, “They blew off his head while he was still in the car.”
      Another, from Kennedy’s perspective, sees Dylan sing, “Riding in the backseat next to my wife / And it’s straight on into the afterlife / I’m leaning to the left I got my head in her lap.”
      Speaking about the tune in a statement, Dylan said, “Greetings to my fans and followers with gratitude for all your support and loyalty over the years. This is an unreleased song we recorded a while back that you might find interesting. Stay safe, stay observant and may God be with you.”
      [embedded content]
      It’s unclear exactly when “Murder Most Foul” was recorded, and a representative for the singer told Variety that no further information about the tune will be revealed.
      The song, Dylan’s first original material since his album “Tempest” came out in 2012, has a running time of 16 minutes and 57 seconds – beating his previous record held by his 16-minute-and-31-second-long 1997 album tune “Highlands”.
      After Dylan shared the new track on Twitter, his fans were quick to respond, with one referencing the coronavirus pandemic as they wrote, “Thank you Bob, your music has been getting us through these times.”
      Another commented, “Very emotional song… The song was beautiful, music outstanding, lyrics deeply touching. Thank you for sharing.”

      Isle of Wight Festival 2020 Gets Axed Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

      by

      Another June event affected by the lockdown imposed to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 is Download Festival as organizers vow to assemble an ‘amazing line-up for 2021.’
      Mar 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The 2020 Isle of Wight Festival has been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
      Following the cancellation of Britain’s Glastonbury festival earlier this month, organisers of the Isle of Wight axed plans for the June event, as the U.K. remains in lockdown to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.
      “The Isle of Wight Festival will no longer be taking place this year,” they said in a statement on Thursday, March 26. “This decision has not been taken lightly and we have tried out hardest to make it work, but it was unavoidable given the current status.”
      “The whole team was excited to welcome everyone to the island for another fantastic festival and we extend our sincere apologies to everyone who was looking forward to it as much as we were,” organisers continued. “The safety of our audience, artists, crew and the Isle of Wight community is paramount and we appreciate your patience whilst we’ve been working through this unprecedented situation.”

      The news was shared on Twitter, along with the announcement that the U.K.’s Download Festival, also set to take place in June, had been axed amid the global health crisis.

      Both festivals vowed to return next year, with Isle of Wight teasing the event will be “stronger than ever”, and Download vowing to assemble an “amazing line-up for 2021.”
      Isle of Wight Festival was set to be headlined by the likes of Lionel Richie, Lewis Capaldi, Snow Patrol, The Chemical Brothers, and Duran Duran, with Download featuring sets from KISS, Iron Maiden and System Of A Down.
      They join the SXSW, Coachella, Stagecoach, Snowbombing 2020, and Ultra Music festivals around the world that have been cancelled or postponed due to the pandemic.

      The Knack Offer Coronavirus Version of 'My Sharona' Parody From Quarantine

      by

      In a bizarre clip posted on YouTube, lead guitarist Berton Averre reveals that he and bassist Prescott Niles have been asked whether they were going to rework their 1979 hit due to the pandemic.
      Mar 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The surviving founders of The Knack gave in to requests from fans and reworked their 1979 hit “My Sharona” as a coronavirus parody.
      In a video posted on YouTube on Wednesday, March 25, lead guitarist Berton Averre revealed he and bassist Prescott Niles have received renewed attention due to the global pandemic, as fans have repurposed the song to reference “corona.”
      “Some people have asked whether we were going to get around to doing our own ‘Sharona’ corona parody song, because apparently, there aren’t enough of them.”
      “Sadly, our lead singer is no longer with us and trust me, you don’t want to hear me croak it out,” he said, referencing frontman Doug Fieger’s 2010 death from cancer.
      In the bizarre clip, he goes on to say that he consulted his dogs on making a handwashing tutorial video, but instead settled on a close-up instruction video on how to play the song’s famous riff and solo.

      However, at the end, he is then joined by Prescott and the pair join together in singing, “Bye, Corona!” instead of the usual chorus.

      New York's Governors Ball 2020 Called Off Amid Uncertainty Over Coronavirus Pandemic

      by

      Hopeful to make a return in 2021, the organizers of the annual festival states that it is ‘neither safe nor prudent to move forward’ with their June dates due to the evolving situation in the Big Apple.
      Mar 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – New York’s Governors Ball 2020 festival has become the latest music casualty of the coronavirus pandemic.
      The annual event had been due to take place in June and feature headlining sets by artists like Tame Impala and Missy Elliott – marking the rap icon’s first big performance in New York City in more than a decade, but organisers were forced to cancel the bash on Thursday, March 26 as the uncertainty over the global health crisis continues.
      “It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the cancellation of Governors Ball 2020 due to COVID-19,” officials shared in a statement.
      “Simply put – due to current government mandates and the evolving situation in NYC, it is neither safe nor prudent to move forward with our June dates. The wellbeing of our fans, artists, staff, vendors, partners and the surrounding NYC community is always our #1 priority.”

      Festival organisers hope to return in 2021, and have already started making plans for the future.
      New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has introduced a string of strict rules in recent weeks in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 across the state, which has become the epicentre of the U.S. outbreak.
      The new limitations include bans on mass gatherings and forced closures of many public places, including concert halls, Broadway theatres, dine-in restaurants, and bars.
      Governors Ball 2020 had also been expected to host sets by Stevie Nicks, Vampire Weekend, Solange Knowles, Miley Cyrus, Ellie Goulding, H.E.R., and Maren Morris, among many others.
      The event joins Texas’ SXSW and Florida’s Ultra Music, as well as Britain’s Glastonbury, on the cancelled festivals list, while Coachella and Stagecoach in California, and Bonnaroo in Tennessee have been postponed until later in the year.

      While stuck inside due to the coronavirus pandemic, the ‘Gangsta’ singer makes use of her own crib and wardrobe to film the music video for her latest single.
      Mar 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Kehlani has steamed up the Internet with her brand new music video. Around a week after announcing she was unable to complete a follow-up to her 2017 debut album because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the “Good Life” hitmaker unleashed a seductive promo for her latest single “Toxic”.
      In the “Quarantine Style” video released on Wednesday, March 25, the 24-year-old singer locks herself in her room and shows off her twerking skills. She smokes and poses seductively in a number of different outfits, including fishnet apparel, silky robes and lingerie, as colorful LED lights offer more sensual vibe to the clip.
      “I was this way for you/ Put the p***y away for you/ Thinkin’ I would wait for you,” the Grammy Award nominee sings while filming herself using what seems to be a computer camera. “And now that damn Julio made me a fool for you/ And now I might hit your phone up/ With that ra-ra-ra, missin’ my da-da-da.”
      Prior to the release of this video, Kehlani teased her fans with a snippet through her social media page. Explaining the behind-the-scene story of how she made it, she wrote in an Instagram post, “i was red wine drunk tonight and locked myself in my room for an hour never edited a video before s/o iMovie on the Mac.”

      In another post, the “Gangsta” songstress named Hyphy Williams as the director of the sultry clip. She added in the caption, “ToxicChallenge goin up cuz social distancing got y’all in the house bussin s**t too… whats your favorite part of the video?”

      This music video for “Toxic” came just days after Kehlani revealed that COVID-19 hampered her work on her upcoming album. Taking to her Twitter account, she noted, “To be transparent, I had a release date. We’re unable to complete any of our plans or move forward with the album at the moment due to the pandemic.” She added, “Not thinking about music at the moment, focused on how to just be a good citizen to society at this time.”
