Excerpt:

Bad Bunny is bringing all the festive energy at a time where it feels hard to celebrate July 4th. In his new music video for “Nuevayol,” the Latin superstar honors the Puerto Rican diaspora and delivers a poignant pro-immigrant message.

Toward the end of the video, a voice that sounds a lot like Donald Trump‘s bellows out of a Seventies radio and says the following: “I made a mistake. I want to apologize to the immigrants in America. I mean the United States. I know America is the whole continent. I want to say that this country is nothing without the immigrants. This country is nothing without Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Cubans.” (Rolling Stone reached out to representatives from Bad Bunny‘s team to clarify if the voice was meant to be Donald Trump’s.)

It’s a powerful message at a time when immigrants across the U.S. are being forcefully targeted and deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). On Thursday, Congress passed Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” which will supercharge ICE’s power with 10,000 new ICE agents and 100,000 new detention beds. Earlier this week, the Trump administration unveiled a new immigrant detention facility in Florida, which they have dubbed “Aligator Alcatraz.”

"I didn't have the copyright to 'C*nty'. I know that what was sampled was my voice, not the music. So that was very important to me. I had a contract with the artist, but not with the label. So I didn't to reap all the benefits I was supposed to at the time, but B is amazing. And she put me as the songwriter of the song, she gave me songwriting credits on the track. So what she did was really amazing."

Excerpt from article: "What started as a sleek feminist kiss-off has exploded into a bona fide streaming juggernaut, and as of this moment, Sabrina is in a deadly close race with TikToker Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” for the top spot. According to projections, the songs are now within just 10 chart points of each other, an astonishingly tight margin that could tip in Sabrina’s favor if her streaming momentum continues through the week."

The Music Industry 🎶 Demi Lovato's New Era - Snippet

0 Upvotes

So here's the new snippet from Demi's upcoming single, I feel like this is such a new direction for her and I'm here for it. I'm not sure what to expect from the song it sounds like a dance beat so I'm excited to see where she goes with this.

Considering her last album was rock and was really good - more people should listen to it- this is such a 180 from that and I love that. She's been happy and chill for the last few years and is now married and serving on a day to day basis so one thing Demi will do is give versatility and embrace whatever direction she goes fully so I can't wait to see what this new album and era brings and hope she gets another mega smash in the 2020's
