Dua Lipa has been teasing her upcoming sophomore album “Future Nostalgia,” for months now. This week, the British pop star gave us not only a cover art, photographed by Hugo Comte, but a release date of April 3.
In November, Lipa released the album’s lead single “Don’t Start Now,” and followed with the release of the album title track in December. Earlier this month, she released a live-music video for the hit single.
The album teasers and singles have been giving us nostalgic yet futuristic 80s vibes, especially after the release of her new single “Physical,” and its technicolor video. The single even borrow’s lyrics from Olivia Newton John’s hit “Physical.”
The video finds Lipa dancing on different colored-coded platforms surrounded by dancers in matching multicolor outfits. The music video also blends in some animation along with the live action, and then ends with a rainbow-colored dance ensemble as the finale. The video feels like one big epic flash mob, which Lipa told us to expect in an interview with Billboard.
Lipa’s debut album was released in June 2017. She won Best New Artist at the 2019 Grammys, and earlier this week she presented the same award to Billie Eilish at the 2020 Grammys.
Jersey artist Pierce Ripanti has been buzzing crazy in the streets since the drop of his last EP, The One Who Raps . This work of art is consists of 4 tracks ; “Executive”, “Alarm Clocks (Freestyle)”, “In Too Deep” and “Passive Aggressive”. With his fire beats and catchy hooks, Pierce has got the game on lock this year and if you don’t believe me, see for yourself.
Check out the Pierce Ripanti’s latest EP The One Who Raps below. Also, don’t forget to follow him on Instagram @primetimepierce and let us know what you guys think of his music in the comment section below.
The 2020 Grammy Awards has marked the 62nd aniversity of the yearly celebration of all things music. As par of the course for all award shows there were winners, and there were losers. This year is no different, and despite the flood of controversy, and the sudden tragic death of Kobe Bryant the Grammy still manage to deliver a few great surprises.
The biggest winner of the 2020 Grammy, of course, is none other than Billie Eilish. The 18-year-old singer conquered the award show by becoming the second artist in Grammy history to win an award for all four major categories on the same night (the first being Christopher Cross in 1981) nabbing the awards for best album, song, record, and best new artist. However, above all that she also became the first woman to win all major categories in one night in Grammy history. You may have your opinion on whether or not these awards are well earned, however, this is an important milestone in the history of the awards and in the midst of all the controversy that affected the 2020 Grammy. This is a welcome surprise.
The sports world suffered a tragic loss as 41 year old, NBA Legend Kobe Bryant died alongside his daughter in a helicoper crash earlier on the same day as the award show. The NBA legend was given a tribute by the hosts Alicia Keys, alongside Boyz.
Later on during the show, DJ Khaled and Nipsey Hussle, alongside John Legend won Best Rap/Sung Performance. During his speech DJ Khaled paid his respects for Nipsey Hussle who was tragically murder in front of his Marathon Clothing Store.
More Surprises
One of the best feel good moments of the night came from Tyler the Creator winning his first Grammy for Best Rap Album with his album IGOR.
Lizzo has become a bit of polarizing figure as of late, but one thing that can not be dennied is her amazing talent that should easily earn her any award. While she did walk away with a few awards for Best Urban Contemporary Album, Best Traditional R&B Performance, and Best Pop Solo Performance what muddles all these awards is that most of these awards are all occupaing the same space. In other words, despite all these awards it still feels that Lizzo was robbed.
Overall the 62nd aniversity of the Grammy, despite getting muddle by the controversy, and the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant the Grammy managed to pull of a passable show, highlighted by the history making sweep of Billie Eilish, but the controversial decision to not give Lizzo more awards proves that the Grammy is learning, but it still has a long way to go.
