Do you believe it? Do we believe it? But most importantly, does he believe it? It seems so. Kanye has returned to talk about his music, announcing 3 volumes of Vultures, the anticipated joint album with Ty Dolla $ign. Talk of this album began in September when it seemed possible that Ye could present it in Italy, at Campovolo. However, bureaucracy got in the way, and everything fell through.

The rapper, along with Ty, initially announced a series of listening parties in stadiums (which did not happen) and later held a couple of surprise events in Miami in December. The album was initially postponed from mid-December to the 31st, then given a new date (not honored) on January 12.

Now, after a few weeks of silence, here’s the new announcement (spoiled first by designer Goša Rubčinskij): there will be three volumes of Vultures, released on February 9, March 8, and April 5, respectively. For the first time, a video trailer for the album directed by artist and filmmaker Jon Rafman has also been released.

Liam Gallagher responded to a comment from Dua Lipa about Britpop bands. In an interview with Rolling Stone,  the “Houdini” singer recently discussed the musical influences of her upcoming album, including bands like Blur and Oasis. She added a personal touch to it, though.

In the interview, Dua hinted that the new album would channel the “I don’t care” attitude of Oasis and Blur. The interviewer mentioned that Noel Gallagher and Damon Albarn hadn’t been very kind to female artists in the past. Dua responded that, although she hadn’t met them personally, “sometimes you have to separate the art from the person.”

“I’m connected to the musical element. The way they behaved, the things they did, are definitely hateful. That’s their way,” she added. “If they hadn’t been like that, they would have been seen as boring, and I think that’s a terrible way to see things,” she continued.

On Twitter, the former Oasis frontman Liam was inevitably asked about it. His concise response was, “She’s just jealous.”

K-pop boyband SEVENTEEN has unveiled a brand-new original single titled ‘The Meaning of Meeting’ during a live performance in Macao.

As part of their ongoing ‘Follow’ world tour, SEVENTEEN recently concluded a two-night concert at Macao’s Olympic Sports Center Stadium on January 20 and 21. Within their dynamic set, the boyband showcased a novel Chinese track called ‘The Meaning of Meeting’ (or ‘相遇的意义’ in Mandarin).

Following the concerts, SEVENTEEN treated fans to a special video featuring the official studio version of the song, complemented by footage from their electrifying performances in Macao. Concurrently, the track made its exclusive debut on Chinese music streaming platforms as a standalone digital single.

“You were with me through thick and thin / I’ve gained more courage than I could ever need / Walking in lockstep, a beautiful spectacle, it all makes my heart pound / You’ve always believed, I’ve always believed, that the sky would clear up again,” SEVENTEEN melodically expresses in the chorus.

The release of ‘The Meaning of Meeting’ signifies SEVENTEEN’s first original Chinese song as a cohesive group. Prior to this milestone, the band had previously presented Chinese adaptations of their Korean hits such as ‘Highlight,’ ‘Oh My!’ and ‘Home’.

A fresh lyric video for Amy Winehouse‘s ‘In My Bed,’ a track from her 2003 debut album ‘Frank,’ has been released, featuring previously unseen footage from its 2004 video shoot.

Uploaded to Winehouse’s official YouTube page on January 23, the video is composed of outtakes from the original filming directed by Paul Gore in 2004. In this lyric video for ‘In My Bed,’ viewers witness a 20-year-old Winehouse casually navigating a hotel lobby with a guitar case, occasionally blending into a backing band of musicians in a ballroom. It’s worth noting that, since this footage predates her ‘Back To Black’ era, Winehouse is not adorned with her signature beehive hairdo.

Travis Scott failed to make a lasting mark in history with his highly anticipated album, Utopia, released last summer. What was supposed to be the Yeezus of his generation turned out to be nothing more than a decent album with more or less interesting aspects.

This doesn’t mean that Travis didn’t achieve some successes. In terms of numbers, Utopia performed well. It lacked the standout track to flirt with algorithms, but there’s no room for complaints. Even in terms of the guests to feature in his latest video, things didn’t go too bad.

Six months after the release of Utopia, Travis Scott returned behind the camera for the video of “I Know?“, co-directed, of course, by his loyal collaborator Dave Meyers. In this video, the rapper simultaneously navigates two romantic relationships: on one side, with one of the world’s most recognized models, Emily Ratajkowski, and on the other, with Anok Yai.

Frank Farian, founder of Boney M. and “creator” of Milli Vanilli, has died at the age of 82 in his home in Miami, Florida. The family announced the news through a social media post.

Frank Farian founded Boney M. in 1974, becoming its producer and songwriter. He is the one who signed songs like ‘Daddy Cool’ and ‘Rasputin,’ which were later brought to success by the group. The German musician also formed the supergroup Far Corporation, collaborated with Meat Loaf, and, as mentioned, invented Milli Vanilli. Farian’s involvement with Milli Vanilli is a tale. The musician wrote and produced the duo’s songs, but had them sung by other people. At the height of their success, he orchestrated an event that exposed the two official members of the project – Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus – revealing that they were performing by lip-syncing.

The 96th Academy Awards promise a musical feast as two enchanting melodies from the world of “Barbie” grace the nominations list. Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell’s “What Was I Made For?” and Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt’s “I’m Just Ken” emerge as standout contenders, selected by the discerning 390 members of the Academy’s music branch.

The decision-making process proved challenging, with only two out of the three shortlisted “Barbie” songs making the cut. Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night” completes the trio, but Academy rules dictated that only a pair could advance to the nominations. As the front-runners, the “Barbie” compositions are poised for Oscar glory, with Eilish and O’Connell having previously won for 2021’s “No Time to Die,” and Ronson and Wyatt as part of the 2018-winning team for LadyJon Batiste Gaga’s “Shallow.”

Standing alongside these luminous tunes are formidable competitors, including Jon Batiste and Dan Wilson’s “It Never Went Away” from “American Symphony,” Diane Warren’s “The Fire Inside” from “Flamin’ Hot,” and Scott George’s Native American chant, “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People),” from “Killers of the Flower Moon.”

The legendary John Williams, at 91 years old, continues to etch his name in history with his 54th nomination for “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.” Meanwhile, English composer Jerskin Fendrix makes a striking debut with his first Oscar nomination for the film score of “Poor Things.”
