      WENN/Instar

      Prior to announcing the title of his upcoming album, the Canadian singer has released two singles, ‘Heartless’ and ‘Blinding Lights’, which are performing well on music charts.
      Feb 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The Weeknd has officially announced the title of his upcoming fourth album. On Thursday, February 13, the Canadian singer made use of his Instagram account to let out a trippy trailer wherein he unveiled that his latest work will be known as “After Hours”.
      The CGI effect-filled video saw the 29-year-old driving through a tunnel into a city in a flashy convertible. The cityscape around him turned upside down as he sped down a long highway. His famous R&B sound played in the background. The album title was spelled out in red and blue letters slowly after the city lights got blurred and a storm raged.
      The teaser has successfully driven fans wild with anticipation. One gushed, “I can’t imagine how this fandom will go if he drops the album tmr.” Another admitted, “I literally got goosebumps all over my body no joke.” A third raved, “HOLY S**T YEE I AM SO EXCITED OH MY GOD,” and a fourth exclaimed, “THE WAY I JUST DIED AND CAME BACK TO LIFE.”
      It is still unclear when “After Hours” will be released, but the follow-up record to 2016’s “Starboy” is led by two singles, “Heartless” and “Blinding Lights”. Both songs have performed well on music charts. “Heartless” debuted at No. 32 on Billboard’s Hot 100 in early December. It went on to top the music chart on its second week, making it The Weeknd’s fourth U.S. No. 1 song.
      “Blinding Lights”, in the meantime, has given The Weeknd his first ever chart-topping single in the British pop charts. It dethroned Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” on February 7, and showed domination over Lewis Capaldi’s “Before You Go”, Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now”, and Eminem and Juice WRLD’s “Godzilla”.
      Outside of music, The Weeknd made an appearance in “Uncut Gems”, which stars Adam Sandler. Speaking of the singer’s brief presence in the crime thriller film, co-director Josh Sadie told Variety, “He’s a friend of ours, and he’s a real cinephile. Real cinephile. Like, one of his favorite filmmakers is (David) Cronenberg, and that makes sense, because he’s from Toronto. But he watches a lot of movies.”

      Billie Eilish's Brother Finneas O'Connell Says They are 'Embarrassed' by Grammys Wins

      by

      The 22-year-old record producer admits in a recent interview that they are ‘kind of embarrassed to win so much’ and hope the wins will be ‘equal’ between other nominees.
      Feb 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Billie Eilish and her record producer brother are apparently conflicted about their big win at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards. The pair took home a total of five trophies each, including four major accolades, during the January 26 ceremony, but Finneas O’Connell admitted they were rather “embarrassed” by it.
      The 22-year-old musician shared his thought on the matter in a new interview with Vogue magazine. Asked if he and his sister were prepared for the possibility of sweeping the awards show, he responded, “We were both kind of embarrassed to win so much; you hope that it will be kind of equal, but after the third in a row…well, we love all of our fellow nominees.”
      On how his sister took in her multiple wins, the former “Glee” star spilled, “She was very grateful, obviously, and a lot of her friends were there. She has more ‘go with the flow’ than I do.” He additionally confessed, “We were hoping…between the two of us, we had 11 nominations, so we were brave enough to hope that maybe we’d get one. I would have been thrilled with that.”
      The songwriter, who helped produce Selena Gomez’s “Lose You to Love Me”, went on to reveal he actually rooted for fellow nominees Lizzo and Lil Nas X. “I thought ‘Truth Hurts’ would win record of the year, and I thought ‘Old Town Road’ would win song of the year, because it was,” he shared. “I was hopeful about album of the year, and that’s one that I’m really proud of, because I love listening to that album front to back. That was the only one that I was like, ‘Maybe!’ ”
      Elsewhere in the interview, Finneas recounted how he and Billie celebrated their big wins. “We were forced to party, which I hate doing,” he stated. “If we’d lost, at least I wouldn’t have had to party.” When pressed about he would rather have done, he replied, “Anything. People say that, and really milk it as something that they brag about, but I would never do that. I just have no interest in being at a party.”
      Finneas and Billie shared three kudos at the 2020 Grammys. Together they won Song of the Year and Record of the Year for “Bad Guy” in addition to Album of the Year for “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?”. Individually, he nailed Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical and Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, while she scored Best Pop Vocal Album and Best New Artist.

      by

      Proving her haters wrong, the Grammy-winning songstress showcases her high notes on the moody track she produces alongside her brother and longtime collaborator Finneas.
      Feb 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Back when Billie Eilish was announced as “No Time to Die” theme song singer, many cast doubts that she would do as good as Adele or Sam Smith due to her musical style. However, the Grammy-winning singer proved the critics wrong when she released the song on Thursday evening, February 13, setting Internet abuzz.
      Co-written by her and her brother Finneas, the haunting ballad finds Billie showcasing her raw, soulful vocalization over piano-driven melodies. Proving those who expected it to be a “whisper” song wrong, she even flexes her high notes towards the end of the song, before she continues singing, “Fool me once, fool me twice/ Are you death or paradise?/ Now you’ll never see me cry/ There’s just no time to die.”

      Following the release of the song, Billie’s name soon started trending on social media with a lot of people heaping praises for her. “Everyone who says ‘bIlLie EiLiSh cAnT sInG sHe WhIsPeRs’ needs to re-evaluate immediately,” one says. “Just died listening to Billie eilish new song even tho the title is no time to die,” another quipped.
      “Beautiful. Billie Eilish puts her raw emotion into her music and that’s why I love it so much,” someone else gushed, as another praised Billie, “Her voice is totally made for this song! She’s taken a lot of stick and proven so many wrong. Well done Billie.” There was also one who said, “LOL I SAID TO MYSELF, this sounds like its from james bond lmao, looked at the screen again and saw oo7 at the top. Wow she really did empower her theme correctly. Good work Billie.”
      Billie is the youngest artist to ever write and record a James Bond theme. She’s set to perform the song for the first time at the Brit Awards in London on February 18. In a statement to Variety, she said of her participation, “It feels crazy to be a part of this in every way. To be able to score the theme song to a film that is part of such a legendary series is a huge honor. James Bond is the coolest film franchise ever to exist. I’m still in shock.”
      “No Time to Die” is set for an April 10 release in the United States.

      WENN/Instar/Avalon

      The ‘American Idol’ alum is scheduled to perform at the upcoming all-star basketball game at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois to remember the late Los Angeles Lakers player.
      Feb 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jennifer Hudson will honour the late Kobe Bryant during the 2020 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, February 16, 2020.
      The former Los Angeles Lakers player died in a helicopter crash last month, alongside his teenage daughter and seven other victims.
      On Thursday, the National Basketball League announced the Oscar winner will open the game with a special tribute to the sportsman. Hudson previously paid her respects when news of his passing was announced.
      “It’s like every time I go to sleep and then wake up somebody else is gone ! This news Hurts my heart so bad !” she wrote at the time.
      Other artists are set to perform throughout this year’s All-Star Game broadcast, including Chance the Rapper, who will perform a halftime show along with Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, and Quavo.
      Chaka Khan will sing the U.S. national anthem, with country music star Tenille Arts performing the Canadian anthem.
      The format of the game itself will also be reworked to honour Bryant, with a fourth quarter target score being introduced as opposed to the usual time limit.
      The target score is decided by adding 24 points – in honour of Bryant’s jersey number – to the winning score after three quarters, with the first team to reach the goal winning the game.
      The game will be held at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois – home of the Chicago Bulls.

      DaBaby Helps Camila Cabello Become Hollywood Star in 'My Oh My' Video

      by

      [embedded content]

      In the Dave Meyers-directed visuals, the Cuban songstress plays a struggling actress who is frustrated that she’s unable to convince producers to take her seriously.
      Feb 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Camila Cabello finds her hero in DaBaby. On Wednesday, February 12, the “Havana” hitmaker released a brand new music video for “My Oh My”, the final single from her second studio album “Romance”, unveiling the “BOP” rapper’s part in making her a cinematic star.
      The black-and-white promo, which oozes 1920s Hollywood vibes, starts with the 22-year-old singer being presented as a struggling silent movie star. Aspiring to be more than just a doll face, she is left frustrated by her inability to convince film producers to take her seriously and to let her be a heroine in a movie.
      It is not until the former member of Fifth Harmony goes to a bar that she meets up-and-coming movie mogul DaBaby. Breaking out of her good girl mold, she impresses him with her sword-wielding skills. After he buys her out of her contract, colors comes to her world and she lands a starring role in his production of “La Bonita Blade” where she is introduced as “Killer Cam.”
      The music video comes from the hands of director Dave Meyers. In less than 10 hours since its debut on YouTube, it has gotten more than 2 million views. The song itself has stayed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for nine weeks. It peaked at No. 31 since its release in early January, joining her hit single “Senorita”, which also came from the same album, in the chart.

      Prior to the release, Camila made use of social media to tease a number of her looks featured in the video. Along with the photos, the girlfriend of Shawn Mendes asked her followers, “what do you think will be the storyline of the music video for my oh my ? we’ll see who’s proven right next week hehehehehe.”

      On the release date of the video, Camilla once again turned to Instagram to share a mock poster of it. She wrote on its caption, “WATCH AN UP AND COMING FILM MOGUL AND A STRUGGLING ACTRESS FIND EACH OTHER IN THIS THROWBACK ADVENTURE!!!!!!!!! finally!”
