The 25-year-old Argentine singer, songwriter and actress has joined voices with emerging Argentine rapper La Joaqui and world renowned DJ Steve Aoki to release the new single “Muñecas” via Hollywood Records.
After releasing back-to-back cumbias with “Miénteme” alongside María Becerra and the L-Gante-assisted “Bar” last year, TINI kicks off the new year with an equally danceable track fused with electronic beats.
The irresistible electronic cumbia track is a breath of fresh air, perfectly combining TINI’s vocal talent, La Joaqui’s lyricism, and Steve Aoki’s signature sound and extraordinary creative touch.
Demi Lovato is (re)mixing things up for the summer….
The 29-year-old half-Mexican American singer/actor is readying to release a remix of their sultry 2015 hit, “Cool for the Summer.”
The star took to Twitter on Wednesday, March 30, to share the pre-save link for the “Sped Up Remix” of the song.
The release, of course, comes following the summery hit’s resurgence on TikTok, thanks to a hip-swaying dance challenge and a viral mashup with Ginuwine’s “Pony” from user@kuyamagik.
Upon its release, “Cool for the Summer” peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart dated September 19, 2015, and spent a total of 20 weeks on the chart.
Earlier this year, Lovato bid farewell to their pop music and welcomed a new, rock era. Lovato jokingly shared an image to their Instagram grid posing with both middle fingers up, joined by music executives from Island Records and manager Scooter Braun. Every person in the picture wore all black. “A funeral for my pop music,” Lovato captioned the brooding image.
Lovato then elaborated via their Instagram Story, with one of the label executives saying, “You put out whatever music you want, whenever you want to. Break the rules.”
Demi then shared two snippets of a new rock song in the following clips.
Lovato’s most recent album, Dancing With the Devil…The Art of Starting Over, primarily featured pop lyrics and production.
The album peaked at No. 2 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. Fans were first given a taste of Lovato’s rock-inspired sound in their first two albums, Don’t Forget and Here We Go Again, under Disney’s Hollywood Records.
The 27-year-old Colombian American actress/singer will star opposite KJ Apa as star-crossed lovers in the pandemic thriller Songbird, which began filming last week in Los Angeles.
Told from street level through the eyes of the characters, Songbirdtakes place two years into the future, as a lockdown has been re-implemented after a more serious virus continues to mutate. In a feeble attempt to keep the sickness contained, the city has been split into haves and have nots.
Songbird follows an essential worker (Apa) who has a rare immunity, a delivery man who delivers goods and hope throughout the city. Like the vast majority of the population, his girlfriend (Carson) is locked within her home, and the couple have no ability to physically be together.
To be with the one he loves, he must overcome martial law, murderous vigilantes and a powerful, well connected family, helmed by a matriarch (Demi Moore) who will stop at nothing to protect her family and maintain her way of life.
Carson and Apa join the previously announced cast of Moore, Bradley Whitford, Craig Robinson, Jenna Ortega, Paul Walter Hauser, and Peter Stormare.
Adam Mason is directing off a screenplay he co-wrote with Simon Boyes. The film hails from Adam Goodman and Michael Bay.
Carson has more than 18 million followers on social media, over 1.5 billion streams of her music and over 2M subscribers to her YouTube channel.
She currently stars in the Netflix feature film Feel the Beat. She previously starred as “Evie” in Disney’s Descendantsfranchjse and appeared on the Freeform series Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists.
Carson is signed to Hollywood Records/Republic Records and recently released her latest single “Miss U More Than U Know”, which has clocked more than 4.5 million streams to date. Carson is a Global Ambassador for Revlon, and recently unveiled the Revlon x Sofia Carson Collection, an exclusive collection of her favorite Revlon lip products and nail polish.
The 22-year-old part-Mexican American singer/actress heats up the Billboard + Twitter Top Tracks chart (dated July 18) as her latest single “Cool for the Summer” debuts at No. 3.
“Cool for the Summer” bows with 834,000 U.S. streams for the week ending July 5, according to Nielsen Music, which helps spark its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 36.
The song possibly picked up extra attention thanks to Lovato’s performances of the track at several events.
“Cool for the Summer” is the lead single from Lovato’s upcoming fifth album, the follow up to 2013’s Demi, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
Billboard + Twitter Top Tracks is a weekly ranking of the most shared and/or mentioned songs on Twitter in the U.S., ranked by the volume of shares over a seven-day period (Monday to Sunday).
Selena Gomez may be baring it all in her next music video…
The 22-year-old half-Mexican American singer/actress took to Instagram on Monday to share a steamy photo that many fans assume was snapped while Gomez was filming the video.
The photo shows the former Disney Channel star posing naked under pouring water in a dimly lit shower.
“Ready.. #itscomingsoon,” Gomez wrote in the caption.
There’s still no official word if the picture is indeed a preview of her music video.
Gomez is currently working hard on her next studio album, which will mark her first since leaving Disney-owned Hollywood Records and joining Interscope. Her manager Aleen Keshishian recently promised that the first offering from the follow-up to 2013’s Stars Dance would arrive “soon,” so that Selenators “will have a good summer!”
The 22-year-old part-Mexican American singer/actress, Nick Jonas and manager Phil McIntyre have joined forces with Island Records for a new joint venture.
Safehouse Records is the home of a new artist-centric label that will not only see the release of Lovato’s next album — her fifth studio effort, which will arrive via a creative partnership between Safehouse, Island and her current label, Disney-owned Hollywood Records — but also new signings in the near future.
“I’ve worked closely with both Nick and Phil for years and we share the same point of view when it comes to making music,” said of her part-ownership in Safehouse, “It’s incredibly exciting to be part of this new company where I’m in control of all aspects of my career. I can’t wait to share what we’re working on!”
Label co-founders Jonas and McIntye add that teaming up with Island means “access to the best marketing and promotion available.”
In an interview with Billboard, Island Records CEO and president David Massey explained that his relationship with McIntyre goes back 10 years and that he’s been impressed with McIntyre’s “career objectives and work ethic.” Ultimately, when talk of a label began about a year ago, Massey added, “I really liked the culture he wanted to create: a small label that’s highly focused and very artist-driven as opposed to something that would have to be able to grow exponentially.”
Jonas is currently signed to Island where his self-titled debut has yielded two hit singles, “Jealous” and “Chains.”
Disney Music Group‘s current Hollywood Records roster features acts in a variety of genres, including Grace Potter, Bea Miller, Sabrina Carpenter, R5 and Breaking Benjamin.
Selena Gomez has set her sights on her next film role…
The 22-year-old half-Mexican American actress and singer has landed the female lead opposite Paul Rudd in The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving, directed by Emmy winner Rob Burnett.
Rudd will star in the indie drama as Ben, a caregiver looking after a frustrated teenager named Trevor who is in the advanced stages of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Gomez will portray Dot, a sassy young woman who hitches a ride with the pair during a road trip, and whose forwardness and lack of embarrassment about Trevor’s condition causes him to develop a crush on her.
Burnett, the veteran exec producer of The Late Show with David Letterman, adapted the script from Jonathan Evison’s 2013 novel of the same name.
Soon-to-be co-stars Gomez and Rudd were snapped Sunday night after the Golden Globes with writer/actor Justin Theroux, when a photo of the trio posted to Gomez’s Instagram garnered 1.1 million likes.
Filming on The Revised Fundamentals Of Caregiving begins January 22 in Atlanta.
It’s the latest indie film for Gomez, whose big screen credits include Sony’s 2012 animation hit Hotel Transylvania. A role in Harmony Korine’s racy Spring Breakers added street cred to her resume, and she was most recently seen in William H. Macy’s directorial debutRudderless, which premiered last year at the Sundance Film Festival.
Gomez next reprises her voice role in Sony’s animated sequel Hotel Transylvania 2 opposite Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg. Offscreen, the global star who has over 107 million social media followers recently signed with Interscope Records after a long run with Disney’s Hollywood Records.
The 22-year-old half-Mexican American singer/actress, who is hard at work on the follow-up to her solo album Stars Dance, may be preparing to record and release more scorching dance tunes, with help from EDM genius Zedd.
Gomez posted a photo of herself on Instagram on Thursday night (Jan. 8) with the caption, “Studio flow tho @zedd,” before quickly removing the image.
Ravenous Selenators caught the post before it was deleted, however, and Zedd confirmed the Thursday night meet-up by posting a photo of the pop star on his own account
When Zedd is not producing hits like “G.U.Y.” for Lady Gaga or “Break Free” for Ariana Grande, he has scored hits under his own name, with songs like “Clarity” (featuring Foxes) and “Stay The Night” (with Paramore‘s Hayley Williams).
Zedd also co-produced “Beauty and a Beat,” a Top 10 hit for Gomez’s ex, Justin Bieber.
Demi Lovato will be returning with new music in the coming year…
The 22-year-old part-Mexican American singer, actress and former The X Factor judge singer is expected to release a new album in 2015 via her longtime label Hollywood Records.
Lovato has spent most of this year on the road in support of her fourth studio album, Demi, which was released in 2013 and has registered three Top 40 hits on the BillboardHot 100. But now that her latest North American tour is wrapping up, she’s ready to return to the studio.
“She’s finishing up right now on the last leg of her touring for this year, and we finish it up with a couple of radio shows,” Lovato’s manager Phil McIntyre told Billboard last week. “Then the plan is for her to go back into the studio and start the next creative process. She’s already done some songs, but certainly the majority of it will kick off next year.”
Disney Music Group president Ken Bunt adds, “We’re really excited. We’ve got a new album coming from her next year. We’re not talking about release dates yet. And she’s going to continue her world tour throughout next year.”
Demi, released in May 2013, an featured the hits “Heart Attack,” “Really Don’t Care” with Cher Lloyd and “Neon Lights.” It has sold 426,000 copies to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Following the album’s release, Lovato returned as a judge on the U.S. version of The X Factor, then set off on two arena tours in 2014 — the Neon Lights tour last spring and the Demi World Tour this fall. Lovato’s Neon Lights tour grossed $8.6 million over the 21 dates reported to Billboard Boxscore.
“I think she’s one of the handful of the music stars in the industry right now,” Bunt says of Lovato. “There’s not a lot of people who could go do two arena tours [in one year] anymore, and she’s one of them. There were three hits off of this record, and when she plays, there’s plenty of hits now.”
Following Monday’s performance at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Lovato will set off on a short European run, beginning in Istanbul on Nov. 16.
After releasing back-to-back cumbias with “Miénteme” alongside María Becerra and the L-Gante-assisted “Bar” last year, TINI kicks off the new year with an equally danceable track fused with electronic beats.
