Kylie Minogue Reveals She Nearly Cut a Song With Prince
“Well, I had an almost dream come true, which was with Prince,” she recounts. Following his show at London’s Earl’s Court in the early ‘90s, Minogue met the Purple One and summoned the courage to mention her album plans. “We just kind of hung out. I don’t even know what that means, but we hung out and he kind of put me on the spot a bit. He was like, ‘So where are your lyrics?'” After some back and forth, Prince sent his driver to Kylie’s apartment with a tape. “There’s a cassette in my hand with Prince singing, a song called ‘Baby Doll,’ that I kind of was involved with, but he who slept four hours a night or something and just created stuff the rest of the other 20 hours. That was my almost, we didn’t record it.” How close did it get to a full studio t...
Katy Perry Dressed Up as a Giant ‘I Voted’ Sticker to Help Get Out the Vote
“TOMORROW IS ELECTION DAY! Tell your mom, tell your dad, tell complete strangers on the street to #VOTENOW #BRINGAFRIEND #BRINGASNACK #TAKEYOURBIKE #buthonkifyoualreadyvoted,” she captioned the post on Instagram along with some lyrics from Smile album track “Not the End of the World.” It’s not the first time Perry has donned the kooky, civically minded getup. One week before Election Day, she shared another video in the costume as she made her way to the ballot drop box to cast her own vote. “ONLY ONE WEEK TIL ELECTION DAY! VOTE NOW!!! SHOW ME YOUR AFTER VOTE…GLOW…AND I’LL GIVE IT A SHARE! DO IT FOR THE STICKER (AND DEMOCRACY),” the singer wrote at the time. The new mom, who gave birth to daughter Daisy Bloom back in May, has been an ou...
Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez, Kanye West and More Artists Who Voted on Election Day
“¡Yo voté! ¡Vamos America! #Vote #LetsGetLoud #BidenHarris2020,” J. Lo, showing off her “I Voted” sticker in a selfie, tweeted Tuesday afternoon (Nov. 3). Kanye West, who put himself on the presidential ballot this year, acknowledged that he voted for himself. “Today I am voting for the first time in my life for the President of the United States, and it’s for someone I truly trust…me,” he tweeted. “I didn’t vote for a Democrat or a Republican. I voted for character, decency, justice, TRUTH and TRUST in the leader of our nation,” Camila Cabello, who said she voted for Biden, wrote on Instagram. “I voted for a President that believes in goodness, who will protect the morals and values of this country, and not betray them...
Elvis Costello’s Aim Remains Remarkably True on Hey Clockface: Review
The Lowdown: English singer-songwriter Elvis Costello has about three dozen studio LPs under his belt (including collaborations), yet he’s never lost his inimitable knack for crafting scornful witticisms, tender ballads, catchy-as-hell rockers, and everything in-between. Likewise, his skill at working within multiple genres while both modernizing his sound and staying true to his distinguishing DNA is virtually unmatched by his peers or proteges. In other words, he’s always staked out his own path within the realm of popular music, and with Hey Clockface, he continues that legacy. It doesn’t rival his greatest LPs — not that anyone expects it to — but it’s a surprisingly wide-ranging and substantial venture that reveals how much creative spark and ability is still there after all these yea...
Shawn Mendes Tapped For BBC’s Children In Need Appeal Show
The 22-year-old is on a streak. His first three studio albums all hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, and in the U.K., his last two LPs peaked at No. 3. This year’s Children In Need show will be hosted by Mel Giedroyc, Alex Scott, Stephen Mangan and Chris Ramsey, and includes appearances by celebrated British soul singer Beverley Knight, and the cast of West End musical Six. During the lockdown earlier in the year, Children In Need and Comic Relief joined forces to create The Big Night In. The event raised more than £67,100,000 ($87 million) for good causes and featured the premiere of the video for Radio 1’s Stay Home Live Lounge charity single, an all-star cover of Foo Fighters‘ “Times Like These.” The track went straight in at No. 1 on the Official Singles...

Ariana Grande‘s lead single from her sixth album Positions debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week (dated Nov. 7), but which song should follow its success as the next single?

‘Taylor Is Free’: Taylor Swift Can Officially Re-Record Her First Five Albums & Fans Are Celebrating
Swift herself first revealed the new recording deadline for her first five LPS — 2006’s Taylor Swift through 2014’s 1989 — back in August 2019 following her highly public feud with Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta over control of her masters. (In July 2019, Braun bought Swift’s former label, Big Machine Records, in a landmark $300 million deal through his company Ithaca Holdings, effectively giving him ownership of the star’s entire pre-Lover catalog of work. At the time, Swift called the move her “worst case scenario.”) “Yeah, that’s true and it’s something that I’m very excited about doing because my contract says that starting November 2020, so next year, I can record albums one through five all over again,” she told Good Morn...
Stevie Wonder Serenades Crowd at Joe Biden Rally With Classics, New Tracks
“The only way we’re going to win this fight, a fight against injustice, is by voting,” he continued, calling this year’s election the most important of his life. “You must vote justice in and injustice out.” He also took Trump to task for saying “stand back and stand by” to the white supremacist group the Proud Boys, noted that instead of promising to make Juneteeth an official national holiday, President Trump should be focused on reparations for “the work that we’ve all done for the last 400 years, unpaid.” “When I’m in California hearing about a group of people that are trying to kidnap and murder the governor of this state [Gretchen Whitmer], excuse my language, but that’s some bulls–t. Unacceptable,” Wonder said, referring to...
