Taylor Swift Sends Powerful Message With Music Video for “The Man”

Image
Taylor Swift is no stranger to using her music videos to send a powerful message, but she really went the extra mile with “The Man.” The singer’s latest video points out the double standards that exist in everyday life, in a truly unique and often hilarious way. “The Man” serves as Swift’s solo directorial debut, and it sees her playing the role of an entitled man who exhibits a truly horrible behavior on every turn, without ever getting punished for it. The 10-time Grammy winner is truly unrecognizable in the role, thanks to impressive prosthetic makeup she had to wear throughout the process. “The Man” features several obvious references to Swift’s career and the struggles she faced as a woman in the music industry, but she believes that women from all walks of life can relate to these issues. “It’s really about re-training your own brain to be less critical of women when we are not criticizing men for the same things. So many things that men do, you know, can be phoned-in that

Lady Gaga’s Wild “Stupid Love” Video Perfectly Captures Her Essence

Image
Lady Gaga is no stranger to colorful and wild music videos, but she really took things to a whole new level with “Stupid Love.” The futuristic video for her latest single is here, and it perfectly captures the singer’s essence. The music video was shot entirely on an iPhone 11 Pro, but that doesn’t mean it’s not visually stunning. It features all the essentials you’d want from a Lady Gaga video – intriguing backstory, epic choreography, and some truly wild outfits. “Stupid Love” will be featured on the singer’s sixth studio album, which will be quite a departure from the melancholic and emotional 2016 record Joanne . The singer discussed her new track in a recent interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music and explained why she decided to make this record more fun and offbeat. “I put all my heart, all my pain, all my messages from the other realm that I hear of [and] what they tell me to tell the world, and I put it into music that I believe to be so fun and energetically really pure.

New Jonas Brothers Albu, Already In the Works

Image
Jonas Brothers have been on a creative rollercoaster ever since coming back together, and they’re constantly working on new material. They’re not planning to keep us waiting for their next album – as a matter of fact, it’s already on the way! Nick Jonas, who joined The Voice as the latest superstar judge, recently made an appearance on NBC’s Today to promote this show. He also revealed that JoBros are “working hard on the new record” alongside producer Ryan Tedder, who helped them find success with their previous album Happiness Begins.

Second EFCC witness testifies against Naira Marley in cyber fraud case

Image
The trial of music artiste, Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley , on 11 counts of conspiracy, possession of counterfeit cards and fraud, continued on Thursday with the testimony of the second prosecution witness, Anosike Augustine. Mr Augustine, a mobile forensic expert with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) told Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court in Lagos how he analysed the contents of an iPhone 11 allegedly retrieved from Naira Marley during investigation. He said after extracting and analysing the data on the phone, he produced a report of his findings. The EFCC subsequently moved to tender in evidence the report which was said to be over 30 pages long. Counsel to Naira Marley , Olalekan Ojo, however, objected to the tendering of the document. Ojo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, argued that it was not part of the documents front-loaded to the defence team and he was unaware of its contents. Following the EFCC’s insistence that the

Tottenham star Son Heung-min ‘to be forced to stay indoors for two weeks amid coronavirus fears’

Image
Tottenham star forward, Son Heung-min will be forced to self-isolate for two weeks on his return from South Korea over continued fears surrounding the coronavirus . Son was given permission to return to his homeland in January to undergo surgery for the broken arm he sustained in the 3-2 win over Aston Villa on February 16. He flew to Seoul, just 150 miles from two of the worst affected areas in the country, for the operation before government protocols on travel to and from South Korea were introduced. Son had wanted the same surgeon who helped him recover from a similar injury he suffered in 2017 that left him with a metal plate in his right arm. Speaking on the development, Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho said: “I think the normal advice comes from the authorities, comes from the government. I’m not going to make any comment, I’m nobody, I’m no specialist. “I just get the legal advice and what my club gets from authorities, and of course we follow everything. “That’s why I’m sa

“Better Call Saul” Season 5 Premiere Review

Image
After far too long a wait, Better Call Saul is back for its fifth and penultimate season. Here’s a recap of the season premiere. In the pre-credits scene, we witness a flash-forward to Saul’s life post-Breaking Bad. In the previous seasons, we’ve just seen a snippet to Saul’s Cinnabun life but this time around, we see the full extent of what life is like on the run. Saul is constantly looking over his shoulder and when a former Albuquerque resident recognizes him from the Better Call Saul adverts, it spells trouble for our morally corrupt protagonist. In a panic, he calls for relocation before ultimately deciding in an ominous tone that he will “handle it” himself. The season five premiere then picks up where season four left off. On a high from his court win, Saul makes the decision to change his name to Saul Goodman. He no longer wants any association with his brother and he is looking for ways to appeal to a younger criminal crowd. Kim regards him suspiciously as he gets carri

Grimes’ “Miss Anthropocene” is Beautifully Unique

Image
Grimes’ latest album is a unique blend of artistic sounds and experimental textures. The record opens with “So Heavy I Fell Through The Earth.” Here, Grimes mixes her vocals with a surreal spectral song, producing sounds that sit somewhere between Bjork and whale song. The result is something both soothing and intriguing, an artistic blend of sounds that challenges the listener without provoking them. In “Before the Fever”, Grimes sings “This is the sound of the end of the world.” And perhaps she is right. It’s jarring, unfamiliar, and yet oddly soothing in a blissfully ignorant sort of way. “New Gods” is a song for the millenial nihilist. Grimes sings: “Hands reaching out for new gods / You can’t give me what I want.” In the pre-chorus, she questions “Are you a man? / Are you something I can’t stand?” For Grimes, the lack of meaning in the modern world has been compensated for by love and romance. After all, in interviews, it is her love life that Grimes blames for any setbacks i
