      The actress insists her party DJ didn’t even know the singer was on the boat when he played his hit “Adorn”, and Miguel decided to give guests a very special show.
      “He’s my spaced-out weed head friend… and he stopped eating, came up and started singing along to the track live. We got, like, a mini-concert. It was the most beautiful moment ever.”

      The three-and-a-half-minute visuals, which sees a couple working through life’s obstacles side-by-side, marks the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ actress’ directorial debut.
      Feb 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Chris Martin has given his girlfriend, Dakota Johnson, a chance to make her directorial debut. Coldplay released a brand new music video for “Cry, Cry, Cry” on Valentine’s Day, February 14, and the “Fifty Shades of Grey” actress is unraveled to be one of its helmers.
      The 30-year-old actress teamed up with Cory Bailey for the three-and-a-half minute visuals that was filmed in Rivoli Ballroom in London and choreographed by Celia Rowlson-Hall. She also served as a producer of the video through her newly-launched production company, TeaTime Pictures.
      The music video itself sees Martin and his bandmates playing a house band at a ballroom where a couple dances through life’s obstacles side-by-side. It starts with the pair walking into the ballroom as teenagers and follows them as they grow older. Nearing the end of the video, they are presented as old couple who is still dancing, albeit more slowly, with their love intact.
      Throughout the ’50s doo-wop ballad video, Martin sings, “In a book about the world/ Called the luminous things/ There are trees and flowers growing/ While Jizo Bodhisattva sings. When you cry, cry, cry, baby/ When you cry, cry, cry/ When you cry, cry, cry, baby/ I’ll be by your side.” He ends the song by crooning, “For your miracles outnumber all the stars out in the sky.”

      “Cry, Cry, Cry” is a track from “Everyday Life” album that was released on November 22, 2019. It debuted at No. 1 on the U.K. Albums Chart and was deemed as the U.K.’s third-fastest selling album of 2019, following Ed Sheeran’s “No.6 Collaborations Project” and Lewis Capaldi’s “Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent”.
      Talking about the album’s vulnerability aspects, Martin told Rolling Stone, “Between you and me and everyone who’s watching, we had to grow a bit of balls to be able to do this one.” He added, “It’s the first time we really said what we think about some things. And it’s trying to be empathetic and it’s a bit unfiltered. It’s completely unfiltered. It’s very raw and pure.”

      Charli XCX Condemns Reading and Leeds Festivals for Failing to Book More Women

      by

      WENN/Avalon

      As she voices her frustration over the music events’ male-dominated lineup, the ‘Break the Rules’ singer calls for improvement on representation by record companies.
      Feb 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Charli XCX has slammed the organisers of the Reading and Leeds festivals for booking a male-dominated lineup.
      Organisers of the U.K. music event have come under fire for their male-dominated bill, with only 20 female or mixed-gender acts announced as performers on Tuesday, February 12, and no headliners.
      Speaking to U.K. music website NME at their annual awards bash on Wednesday, Charli condemned Reading and Leeds chiefs for failing to respond to past criticism over line-ups that have only featured one female-fronted headliner, Paramore, in 20 years.
      “They just need to book more women, but the thing is that this conversation has been going on for so long,” Charli said. “I feel like this literally happened last year with Reading & Leeds.”
      “The lineup came out and everybody was like, ‘There aren’t enough women on this lineup’. Nothing has changed. Nothing. What can be done? It’s our responsibility to talk about this and be as open as we can.”
      However, she also believes record companies also have to act to improve representation, adding: “The change needs to come from the industry itself and the ground up. Yes, the festival needs to book females but the industry as a whole needs to recognise women working within it: producers, writers, A&Rs, executives, anything.”
      In a separate chat with the Daily Mirror, Charli also hit out at BRIT Awards chiefs for the lack of female representation in their Album of the Year or Best Group categories.
      “What the f**k is that about?” she raged. “It’s what everyone has been saying. Women don’t just deserve to be in the female categories, we’re not the subplot, the warm-up act, we’re the main event.”

      Her criticism follows a promise by The 1975 frontman Matty Healy that his band, who headlined the event last year, will only play gender-balanced festivals.

      Billie Eilish Deems Her 2020 Oscars Performance 'Trash'

      by

      WENN/Instar

      Aside from talking about her ‘Yesterday’ cover in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, the ‘Bad Guy’ hitmaker admits she felt somewhat out of place at the coveted awards ceremony.
      Feb 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Billie Eilish wasn’t a fan of her performance at the Oscars last weekend (February 09), calling it “trash.”
      The 18-year-old singer performed a cover of The Beatles’ “Yesterday” during the In Memoriam segment, when pictures of people the entertainment world has lost during the past year were shown on a screen.
      However, during an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, set to air on Friday, Billie revealed she was poorly for the awards ceremony, and doesn’t think her rendition of the tune was one of her best.
      “I was sick for all of the Oscars, I bombed that performance,” she said. “That was trash.”
      Billie went on to admit she felt somewhat out of place during the Oscars, because she didn’t know many of the famous faces who were there.
      “I’m not used to that,” she said. “At least the Grammys wasn’t as scary because it was, like, artists,” she explained. “And it felt like my people, it felt like, ‘Oh, look, a bunch of artists!’ And I knew a lot of them already and I’d met them and they knew of me.”
      The teenager was speaking to promote her new song from the film “No Time to Die”. She penned the tune with brother FINNEAS in just three days, and said having the chance to work with her sibling on something so massive as a Bond theme was a lifelong dream.

      “You know what’s funny about it, like two years ago, we were like, wouldn’t it be crazy to make a song for the Bond movies, and, like, wouldn’t that be dope?” she explained. “And so, kind of for two years-ish, we’ve been subconsciously trying to… in our own way. And, like, we’ve written songs that have never come out that are, like, oh, this sounds like Bond, like, this would be dope, like, it would never happen, whatever. And then this offer came up and we were like, ‘Ahhhh!’ ”

      Justin Timberlake Labeled a 'Monster' by Anna Kendrick Over 'Trolls World Tour' Soundtrack

      by

      Instagram

      When stopping by ‘The Graham Norton Show’ to promote the ‘Trolls’ sequel, the ‘SexyBack’ hitmaker also talks about the possibility of him making music comeback in the near future.
      Feb 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Justin Timberlake’s “Trolls World Tour” co-star Anna Kendrick described him as a “monster” to work with on the soundtrack to the new movie.
      The pair appear in the animated sequel, which sees Trolls Poppy (Kendrick) and Branch (Timberlake) discover that they are from one of six different tribes, each devoted to a different form of music.
      The musical film also features appearances from Ozzy Osbourne, Gwen Stefani, and James Corden, but speaking on Britain’s “The Graham Norton Show” on Friday, February 14, Kendrick confessed the “Mirrors” hitmaker was tough to work with in the studio.
      “He was a monster to work with on the music,” she said. “He’d be behind the glass saying, ‘Do it again, but better!’.”
      However, she added: “I really had fun and I knew I was in good hands. He’s my parachute.”
      Timberlake went on to explain: “You’re given parameters to be creative within. It was my mission to create music that is for everyone, not just the kids.”
      And the star teased his own future musical output, adding he’s “always in the studio so maybe soon.”
      “I have so much (unreleased music),” he confessed.

      Elton John, Nirvana and Sheryl Crow Confirmed to Have Masters Lost or Damaged in Universal Fire

      by

      WENN/Lia Toby/Judy Eddy

      Universal Music Group makes public the names of the 19 artists affected by the 2008 blaze, which ripped through one of its warehouses, as part of a class action lawsuit against the company.
      Feb 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Master recordings by artists including Elton John, Nirvana and Sheryl Crow are among those confirmed as “lost or damaged” by Universal Music Group (UMG) following a 2008 fire.
      While the fire was believed to have affected the recordings, the extent of the damage was unknown. However, as part of a class action lawsuit against the company, UMG publicly confirmed the names of the 19 artists affected.
      The list included Soundgarden, Beck, R.E.M., …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, Bryan Adams, David Baerwald, Jimmy Eat World, Les Paul, Peter Frampton, Michael McDonald, Slayer, Sonic Youth, Suzanne Vega, The Surfaris, White Zombie and Y&T.
      The names were confirmed by UMG during a discovery query in the lawsuit, with lawyers for the artists suing the musical organisation asking for a detailed breakdown of exactly what was affected by the fire.
      The blaze ripped through one of the UMG’s warehouses, used for the storage of music and film reels dating back to the 1940s, in 2008, with news of the huge loss made public following an investigative report published in the New York Times last June (2019).
      While UMG claim to have backups and copies of some of the recordings, they didn’t go into detail about what they did or didn’t have.
      And Howard King, a lawyer for the artists behind the class action suit, was unimpressed by UMG’s reluctance to come clean with the exact figure of how many artists were affected.
      “Universal claimed 17,000 artists were affected by the fire when they were suing for damages. Now that they face a lawsuit by their artists, they claim a mere 19 artists were affected. This discrepancy is inexplicable.”
      Representatives for UMG and the 19 artists mentioned in the filing have yet to respond to the development.
