Listen to a Preview of Skrillex, Justin Bieber and Don Toliver’s “Don’t Go” Before It Hits Streaming Platforms
Ahead of the release of their hotly anticipated collab “Don’t Go,” Skrillex, Justin Bieber, and Don Toliver have unveiled a preview of the tune. If the clip is any indication, the trio have a bona fide hit on their hands. They’ve cooked up a woozy R&B banger, a slow-burner rife with the hypnotic yet forceful bass of a contemporary Skrillex production. A music video for “Don’t Go” is also on the way, but a release date has not yet been confirmed. Skrillex and Bieber were spotted in the studio in late 2020, fueling speculation that new music was on the horizon.

Lizzo Addresses Bullying, Says Black Women In Music ‘Suffer From the Marginalization the Most’
Her sit down with GMA followed her now-deleted emotional Instagram live where she revealed she has received “fat-phobic” and “racist” comments after releasing her new single “Rumors” featuring Cardi B.

Kevin Feige Speaks on Simu Liu’s Response to Bob Chapek, ‘Black Widow’ Lawsuit
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has addressed Simu Liu‘s response to Disney CEO Bob Chapek‘s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings “experiment” comment, calling the situation “a misunderstanding.” According to reports, Feige shared his thoughts during the premiere of Shang-Chi. “[Liu] is not a shy man. I think in that particular tweet you can see — and I think everyone does — a misunderstanding. It was not the intention,” he said. “The proof is in the movie, and we swing for the fences as we always do. With the amount of creative energy we put in and the budget, there’s no expense spared to bring this origin story to the screen.” He added that that the “impactful feel” of Shang-Chi was similar to that of Black Panther‘s. “When you have the opportunity to showcase a hero that looks...
Netflix Drops “Trailer” for ‘Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed’ Documentary
Netflix has shared the official “trailer” of its upcoming documentary film, Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed. Directed by Joshua Rofé, the documentary will supposedly tell audiences “the shockingly untold story” of prolific landscape artist and The Joy of Painting host, touching on the legal battles and the betrayal of the late icon by the people he trusted. Netflix’s take on the docu’s trailer is a little different — instead of showing actual footage of the film, the streaming service shares that it’s unable to do so and audiences can only find out why when they watch the documentary. “With a keen appreciation for nature, and a kind and gentle demeanor, Bob Ross encouraged everyone he met to embrace their creativity and believe in themselves, becoming a cultural phenomenon ...

A Day in the Life of…India Carney
“I wrote this single after what happened to George Floyd,” India Carney says of “Human”, released in May. “The events of last year really, really hit me emotionally, especially as a person of color and I felt a little vain for continuing on with the kind of songwriting that I was doing.” If India was going to make music, she says, she wanted to do so in response to the world around her. The result is something so moving, as only an artist with such soul and grace as India’s can achieve. Maybe you saw her on Season 8 of The Voice, where she made it to the Top 5, and perhaps you’ve heard that she’s now a vocal coach on American Idol 2021 and for A-List clients such as Doja Cat. She’s toured with Katy Perry, has performed at the VMAs, Grammy Awards and at Coachella… But you likely don’t...
