‘We Made a Statement’: J Balvin on Making History at a Reggaeton-Heavy Latin Grammys (Exclusive)
The reggaeton-heavy nominations come a year after a wave of urbano artists expressed their concerns with the Latin Recording Academy for the lack of urban recognition in the main categories. Balvin, alongside other colleagues, was one of the leading force of the “Without Reggaeton there’s no Latin Grammys” campaign on social media. Their protest, as he simply stated, is “for the culture and the movement.” “It would be nice to be the big winner of the night but we already made a statement and that’s the most important thing,” he says. “This is for the youth, for the dreamers, for the reggaeton genre and the different ramifications of urban music.” Nominated twice in multiple categories, including the coveted record of the year, album of the year, and the newly-added best r...
Recording Academy, MusiCares Cut 13 Staffers in Reorganization
The moves stem from a major reorganization the Recording Academy began this summer when it streamlined into three divisions: the entertainment/consumer divisions (led by new COO Branden Chapman), the trade/industry group (led by label veteran Ruby Marchand) and organizations/cross verticals (led by CFO Wayne Zahner, chief diversity and inclusion officer Valeisha Butterfield Jones and chief people & culture officer Shonda Grant). “We did our reorganization in July and as part of that, we really have been doing deep dives into all the verticals,” interim president/CEO Harvey Mason Jr. told Billboard Friday night. “There’s some new alignment [and] some crossover in different sections and because of that we wanted to make sure the skill sets ...
CMFT – COREY TAYLOR
RATING: 6/10 Corey Taylor is a familiar name to virtually everyone who frequents BLABBERMOUTH.NET. He has topped the charts globally with his Grammy Award-winning metal band SLIPKNOT as well as with his rock band STONE SOUR. The iconic frontman returns with his first proper solo release titled “CMFT”. The album is a mixed bag: clichéd and predictable at its worst, anthemic and passionate at its best. Whatever way one chooses to slice it, the resulting output was seemingly put together by musicians who were having fun, and “CMFT” certainly entails a fair share of enjoyable portions. “CMFT Must Be Stopped”, featuring the rapping talents of accomplished hip-hop artists Tech N9ne and Kid Bookie, who appear in the lead single’s music video, is bold, to ...
BOB KULICK’s Cause Of Death Revealed
Former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick has revealed his brother Bob‘s cause of death. Bob, who was an acclaimed artist in his own right, died on May 28 at the age of 70. Earlier today, Bruce posted the following statement on his social media: “Many of you have asked how my brother died. I didn’t have the information until a few days ago from the Las Vegas County Coroner. He passed away in his home, from natural causes due to heart disease. “Sadly, I was unaware that my brother had complained to his doctor about chest pains and heart palpitations. I recently discovered this by looking at his medical papers, and I believe he was due to be treated, but the pandemic might of prevented it. For me this was a shock, as it was so sudden. “I hope if you experience any pain...
Listen To YES’s Cover Of JOHN LENNON’s ‘Imagine’
To mark what would have been John Lennon‘s 80th birthday, YES has released “Imagine” as a single through BMG Records. The track was recorded at the Hard Rock Hotel, Las Vegas during the encore on the final night of YES‘s 2019 U.S. “The Royal Affair Tour” and will be included on “The Royal Affair Tour Live From Las Vegas” album, due for release on October 30.

It was recorded in May 1971, after THE BEATLES‘ split, in Lennon‘s studio at his home in Berkshire and featured soon-to-be YES drummer Alan White who was a ...
ACE FREHLEY Says Original KISS Lineup ‘Missed A Great Opportunity’ To Perform Again At ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME Induction
In a new interview with Marci Wiser of the 95.5 KLOS radio station, former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley was asked if he can see himself sharing the stage with Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons ever again. He responded (hear audio below): “I think anything’s possible. I’m the kind of person that says ‘never say never.’ But it’s really Paul and Gene‘s call. “We missed a great opportunity when we were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2014, when Paul and Gene declined to play with me and Peter [Criss, former KISS drummer], ’cause the world was watching, and that was a very unfortunate situation,” he continued. “But maybe that could be rectified in the future.” In the two years after KISS announced its “End O...

Oasis’ (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? Speaks to the Downtrodden and Offers Hope
Oasis’ (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? means the world to me. For much of my early life, during the 1990s, I bordered upon homelessness — at one point, living with my family in a van. Without television or toys, my siblings and I mostly relied on books and a battery-powered radio for entertainment. On days when we tired of those, usually during the hot malaise of a Chicago summer, my brother, sister, and I dreamed of escaping the barren yet gang-riddled West Side to some safer place. We were Black, but worse yet we were poor. I didn’t find a semblance of financial stability until my early teens. That’s also when I found Oasis. Just before my freshman year of high school, in 2005, I began watching a channel called The Tube. They aired British Alternative and Brit Pop acts from the ’90s, a...
Travis Scott Performs “Franchise” on Kimmel with M.I.A. and Young Thug: Watch
Young Thug, Travis Scott, and M.I.A. on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Travis Scott was both the lead guest and musical performer on the Thursday night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live. When he wasn’t pimping burgers for McDonald’s, Scott reminded everyone that there’s an artist lurking beneath the brands with a performance of “Franchise”. Scott’s interview covered his new promotional deal with the Golden Arches, which is basically just a quarter pounder meal with limited options. The so-called “Travis Scott Meal” became a TikTok sensation, and so popular that some stores began to run out of quarter-pound patties. The Houston rapper then shifted into high gear for his delivery of “Franchise”, assisted remotely by collaborators M.I.A. and Young Thug. The high-production performance played out more l...
