Lourdes Leon Talks Growing Up With Super-Strict Mom Madonna: ‘List of Things I Wasn’t Allowed to Do is Never-Ending’
In one of the funnier moments, Mazar asked the bi-coastal Lourdes if she steals her mom’s clothes when she’s in New York. “I do, but now there’s a lock on her closets,” Leon said. “When she’s not in the house, those things are locked tight, because I take everything I feel that I’m entitled to.” Leon also said that unlike her always-hustling, multi-media mom, she doesn’t have a “specific” career goal, preferring to dip into modeling and dance, but expressing some reticence to follow the family path into acting or music. “I think it’s about finding a role that wouldn’t be too far off from who I am already,” she said of her big screen aspirations. “Honestly, actors really annoy me and I can’t be around them. As for...
Beatles Royalties & Family Conflicts: We Read UMG’s 300-Page Prospectus. Here’s What We Found
In order to become a publicly traded, stand-alone company, Vivendi had to do an internal reorganization in 2020 to align the parameters of what would become Universal Music Group. As part of that, some of the liabilities directly assumed by Vivendi had to be transferred to UMG for the latter company to have control of all the music assets. It also had to assume the obligations and liabilities that came with them. One such Vivendi obligation that UMG had to take on was to provide security for royalty payments capped at $100 million euros to the Beatles, Yoko Ono and certain Apple entities. But that’s not surprising considering that the ownership of EMI, acquired in 2012, was directly under Vivendi, not UMG, so they had to do some internal asset a...
’12 Hours with Mariah Angeliq’: How Spirituality Led Her Music Career
“It’s no coincidence how spiritual I am,” she expresses. “Apparently my grandfather was super spiritual too. I guess that’s why I was born such an intuitive, manifesting person. I believe in the law of attraction. I feel that as a human being you’re very powerful and you don’t need to be looking for so many answers. They’re all inside of you.” In the mini-documentary, her longtime producer Nely “El Arma Secreta,” her manager, her mom, and good friend all describe Mariah as a “hustler” who can spend days in the recording studio without any sleep. “I feel like it’s my time right now,” she notes. “It’s not about fame. It’s what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, have a purpose, you know? Don’t be famous just to be famous. You have to love this, breathe this, be this because it’s not eas...
Listen to Previously Unreleased David Bowie Songs ‘Karma Man’ and ‘Silly Boy Blue’ Alternative Mix
A pair of previously unheard tracks set to be on the upcoming lost David Bowie album were just released. “Karma Man” is coupled with “Silly Boy Blue” (Alternative Ending Mix), exclusive to the single. “‘Karma Man’ is notable for Cuong Vu’s opening and closing lines, and especially the glorious backing vocals from Holly Palmer, Emm Gryner, and Lisa Germano,” Toy co-producer Mark Plati said in a statement. “They had so much to do with the sound of Toy, and this is a prime example. When I re-listened to these tracks, the sound of fall 2000 came flooding out of the speakers, from a song I’d not heard since then. I’m not too proud to say I shed a bit of a tear, something that happened a few times while mixing it.” The track was initially recorded by Bowie in September 1967 but was not officiall...
KERRY KING On His Post-SLAYER Project: ‘It Will Be F**king Good’
SLAYER guitarist Kerry King says that his next project “will be fucking good.” The 57-year-old discussed his new music while speaking to Metal Hammer magazine about what he has been doing in the two years since SLAYER completed its farewell tour, “The Final Campaign”. “I had picks that I threw out at those shows — ‘The Final Campaign’ — at the end of the show,” he said. “And in every city, I threw out two that said, ‘Reborn in 2020,’ because that was my plan — I planned on touring in 2020. Then the pandemic came up and we were into 2021, because I want everybody to get the bumps out of the road before I go out. Here we are at the end of 2021 and I’m looking at the end of 2022 now. And we’ll see what happens next ...

David Bowie’s Toy-Era Track “Karma Man” Receives First-Ever Commercial Release: Stream
On November 26th, David Bowie’s fabled 2001 album, Toy, will received its first-ever commercial release as part of an upcoming archival box set called Brilliant Adventure (1992 – 2001). Then on January 7th, it’ll received a standalone release as a multi-disc set titled, TOY:BOX. In anticipation, the Toy track “Karma Man” has been released alongside an alternate version of “Silly Boy Blue.” Listen to both recordings below. Toy was recorded in the aftermath of Bowie’s 2000 performance at Glastonbury, as the Thin White Duke sought to reimagine some of his earliest recordings with a live backing band, and then release it in a surprise manner. But after EMI/Virgin put the kibosh on those plans, Bowie lost interest in the project, moved to Columbia Records, and recorded the album Heathen. ...
