21 Latin Artists to Watch in 2021
Will Alaina Castillo go for English or for Spanish? The Houston-born singer/songwriter navigates easily between the two languages, infusing both with a heady mix of R&B that enhances lovely, breathy vocals. Most definitely one to watch, with potential to grow in many spaces. — LEILA COBO Alex Rose (WK/Sony Latin): Signed to Walter Kolm’s newly launched WK Records (with Sony Music U.S. Latin), Puerto Rican Alex Rose has already netted major chart traction with “Jangueo,” the extremely catchy reggaetón/pop hit alongside Rafa Pabón. “Jangueo” spent 19 weeks on Spotify’s global 200 chart and made us dance a storm.

Porter Robinson Shares Album Release Date & New Track: ‘I Wrote This Song at My Lowest Point Emotionally’
“Nurture” will arrive on April 23. Spring is often considered a hopeful time, and Porter Robinson is looking to make the most of the season. On Wednesday (Jan. 27), the producer announced that his much-anticipated sophomore album, Nurture, will drop April 23 via Mom + Pop. The album is Robinson’s first under his own name in seven years. The news comes alongside Nurture‘s fourth single, “Look at the Sky.” The shimmering, propulsive and ultimately joyful track was written during a moment of personal crisis for the North Carolina-based producer, who has dealt with crippling anxiety since he blew up upon the release of his 2014 hit debut album Worlds, and whose personal challenges multiplied when his brother was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer...
Mary J. Blige ‘See What You’ve Done’ Lyric Video Launches to Promote Oscar Song Contender
Directed by Erika Cohn, Belly of the Beast chronicles the near-decade-long fight to shed light on the forced sterilization of women’s prison inmates in California. The film highlights this reproductive injustice with personal accounts from formerly incarcerated individuals. The early lyric, “The world can decide if a caged bird flies,” is a reference to Maya Angelou’s seminal autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, in which the poet describes the racism and trauma that have impacted her life. The song culminates with Blige singing the line, “It ain’t over till it’s over,” accompanied by images of protestors, Dillon and her legal team in a courtroom, with shackles falling to the ground. The song takes the perspective of the survivors of this underreported i...

Yeah, just great people. I&#...
Cardi B Says She’s Spending a Fortune Every Week on COVID Tests
When a fan said they thought the tests were free, Cardi explained that it’s free when you go to your doctor’s office, but “when it’s for work and you gotta have people test you at your home is not.” That said, Cardi wasn’t complaining about the cost because she knows the legal and health ramifications if she doesn’t do everything she can to keep herself and her team safe. “It’s necessary because if you in my space and you get Covid I can get sued. If I do a commercial and I get Covid the company can get sued,” she said. “Its all about not being a liability and is a requirement.The government should be paying for healthcare workers we pay out our own pockets.” When another user noted that Cardi is lucky that she has the luxur...
