With the release of her new single “Forget About Us,” Perrie of Little Mix goes solo

Global music phenomenon Perrie finally releases Forget About Us.”, her eagerly anticipated solo debut single.

“Forget About Us” is an upbeat pop song with a melancholy quality that Perrie co-wrote with Ed Sheeran, Steve Solomon, and renowned songwriter David Hodges (“Because of You”—Kelly Clarkson, “A Thousand Years”—Christina Perri).

The ecstatic song serves as Perrie’s solo debut, showcasing her incredible vocal ability. She sings, remembering past romances, “I don’t want you to ever forget about us in the front seat / listening to songs that made you think about me.”

Perrie says: “I look back on past relationships and do think happily about those times. Do I want to be there now? No. It didn’t work out that way and if it was supposed to be it would have happened. Relationships have been a huge part of my life and they’ve made me who I am now. I think it’s a nice sentiment to be honest about and it’s super relatable.”

The beautiful video for the song, coming soon, was directed by Jake Nava (Beyonce, Britney Spears) and shot recently in Cape Town.

The world might know her as the self-assured Perrie from Little Mix, a group that boasts 3 Brit Awards over 17.49 million albums sales globally & 29.6 billion worldwide streams. However, her experience in one of the best-selling girl groups of all time was also transformative for a younger girl who was naturally shy and unsure of her immense talents. Previously, Perrie shied away from songwriting in Little Mix as she didn’t have the confidence in her abilities, but through working on her upcoming debut album, her extensive songwriting contributions surprised even her. 

Across the eclectic and diverse record she had a heavy hand in creating, there are nods to her rock n roll-influenced childhood, motown, disco, country, 80s and, of course, bright, bold pop. The unifying thread is Perrie’s strong, soaring vocals that fearlessly grapple with each melody and top note. “Going into sessions as a solo artist now and being able to say what I want and I feel is just the most amazing experience. I never had the confidence to do that before, but this process has allowed me to believe in myself and explore all my different emotions and different parts of my life.

Perrie felt most comfortable writing and recording the majority of the deeply intimate album at her North London home. Alex, her fiancé, suggested that they convert their unutilized dining room into a home studio. He had constructed a studio for her that would include everything she would require to record music. “Everything I’ve done to document the record has also been done at home—fans have been asking me if she ever leaves the house.Perrie chuckles. In addition to staying ensconced in her haven, she experimented with collaborating with producers and co-writers, a select group that featured musicians Ed Sheeran and Raye, Johnny McDaid, Feli Ferraro (BTS, Normani), and Jon Bellion (Maroon 5, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber), among others. This allowed her to be as open and imaginative as possible for her debut release.

“I’m so proud of what I’ve done and created. I wanted it to be fun above anything else and showcase my singing through ballads and big vocal numbers,” she says, with her sights now set on taking her music out in front of the world and performing live with a band. “Having people singing your songs back to you is the best natural high in the world. I’m just so excited to see how fans react to my music now.”  Whether sensitive or powerhouse – Perrie’s distinctive vocals stand proud as she emotes her way through songs that tell her story so far.

“I was conceptualizing Séance and working on a lot of songs for around 5 years after releasing Orchid in 2018,” the prolific electronic musician shares. “It was a lot of thinking, absorbing art, researching and drafting concepts and tracks into existence. The backbone and foundation of the project took time, but the actual making of the music went smoother and a lot quicker than I expected. It was like finding the ingredients took forever, but summoning the art into the world was easy.”

Puentespina adds, “The creative process with my collaborators was smooth and natural. I’d like to say we were all building worlds and stories at a comfortable pace. Everyone got to share what they wanted to share quickly and without any hiccups.”

Beyoncé releases COWBOY CARTER, her latest album

The eighth studio album, from the world’s most innovative artist, arrives after a monumental two-song release as a no-holds-barred, multi-genre nod to Americana country culture

COWBOY CARTER, Beyoncé’s eighth studio album, is a financial success and a work of excellent music and production that is sweeping the globe. For the tracking week, the highly regarded record is anticipated to peak at No. 1 in a number of nations, especially in significant global markets.

The two main singles, “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” and “16 CARRIAGES,” were released to great popularity before the album’s release.

With Beyoncé becoming the first Black female artist to reach No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart and No. 1 on the Hot 100 Chart with a Country song, “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” debuted across nine distinct genres on US music charts, including Pop, Hot AC, Country, Rhythmic, Urban, and R&B. Additionally, it topped the UK music charts for four weeks.

Beyoncé is the executive producer of COWBOY CARTER, an album with a strong Country influence that explores a variety of genres. This is the creation of an artist who finds great joy in having unrestricted freedom to develop, grow, and create. It breaks accepted false conventions about Americana culture while uplifting, amplifying, and redefining the sounds of music without apology or permission. It honors historical musical pioneers in the genres of opera, country rock, classical music, and rock & roll.

The album is a cornucopia of sounds that Beyoncé loves, and grew up listening to, between visits and eventually performances at the Houston Rodeo – Country, original Rhythm & Blues, Blues, Zydeco, and Black Folk.  The album wraps itself in pure instrumentation in a celebratory authentic gumbo of sounds using among others, the accordion, harmonica, washboard, acoustic guitar, bass ukulele, pedal steel guitar, a Vibra-Slap, the mandolin, fiddle, Hammond B3 organ, tack piano, and the banjo. There’s also plenty of handclaps, horseshoe steps, boot stomps on hardwood floors and yes, those are Beyoncé’s nails as percussion.

“The joy of creating music is that there are no rules,” says Beyoncé.  “The more I see the world evolving the more I felt a deeper connection to purity. With artificial intelligence and digital filters and programming, I wanted to go back to real instruments, and I used very old ones. I didn’t want some layers of instruments like strings, especially guitars, and organs perfectly in tune. I kept some songs raw and leaned into folk. All the sounds were so organic and human, everyday things like the wind, snaps and even the sound of birds and chickens, the sounds of nature.”

And the inspiration further takes into account Southern and Western culture beyond music, the Rodeo, Western films, and the stories of the original cowboys of the West. It was at the Rodeo where she first saw diversity and camaraderie among people who love Country music and an Americana lifestyle, steeped in community, culinary offerings, grills, and Western gear. And it was for everyone. Among the crowds were Black, Hispanic and Native American Cowboys, who made their valuable, authentic allowances to the culture. Their stories are synonymous with American history.

The music is wrapped around an outpouring of passionate, bold storytelling that captivates the listener with Beyoncé’s familiar, powerful voice at the center.  Her vocals shine a blinding light on a narrative steeped in truth-telling, revealing hidden histories, and reveling in all the magic you seek when you take an intentional journey back to your roots.  Beyoncé is a student of history, and she continues the American music masterclass that started with act i RENAISSANCE in 2022, that was a deep dive into dance music and its creators, and the celebration of those who lived in joy despite being made to feel like outliers.

On COWBOY CARTER the work of an artist who created on her own terms, in the absence of rules, persists boldly.  The songs caress, cradle, and encourage the listener’s curiosity through 27 gifts of revolutionary surprises, erasing the limitations placed on genre-based music.  As a producer, Beyoncé explores and experiments with chord and key changes effortlessly mixing genres, bending, and blending the unexpected to break down every wall of musical confinement. It is a rare body of work that could so seamlessly hosts remakes of classics like “BLACKBIIRD” by The Beatles and “JOLENE” by Dolly Parton with sonically diverse creations like “SWEET HONEY BUCKIN,” “RIIVER DANCE” and “II MOST WANTED.”

“My process is that I typically have to experiment,” Beyoncé says.  “I enjoy being open to have the freedom to get all aspects of things I love out and so I worked on many songs.  I recorded probably 100 songs.  Once that is done, I am able to put the puzzle together and realize the consistencies and the common themes, and then create a solid body of work.”

The album is an experiment indeed.  Each song is its own version of a reimagined Western film. She took inspiration from films like “Five Fingers For Marseilles,” “Urban Cowboy,” “The Hateful Eight, “Space Cowboys,” “The Harder They Fall” and “Killers of the Flower Moon,” often having the films playing on a screen during the recording process. Some aspects of the percussion were inspired by the ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’ soundtrack, where it was more Bluegrass. This body of work undulates from singing cowboy and Blaxploitation to Spaghetti westerns and fantasy with Beyoncé weaving between personal experiences, honoring Black history, to exaggerated character building. The limited-edition vinyl depicts a microphone in the shape of a gun ala Thelma and Louise running from the law, but the gun is invisible, hyper exaggerated reality.

The character, Cowboy Carter was birth from these experiences and inspired by the original Black cowboys of the American West.  The word cowboy itself was used in a derogatory way to describe the former slaves as “boys,” who were the most skilled and had the hardest jobs of handling horses and cattle, alike. In destroying the negative connotation, what remains is the strength and resiliency of these men who were the true definition of Western fortitude.

While RENAISSANCE was a stated rebirth after the Pandemic, COWBOY CARTER is a declarative frequency and academic shift, as the world prepares to shift again, that redefines and rebuilds what is Country and Americana, and who gets to be included. The album opens with “AMERIICAN REQUIEM,” a hymn-like alarm that incinerates old ideas about art and the people who create it.  

Beyoncé ensconced herself with a stellar group of collaborators, including The-Dream, Pharrell, NO I.D., Raphael Saadiq, Ryan Tedder, Ryan Beatty, Swizz Beatz, Khirye Tyler, Derek Dixie, Ink, Nova Wav, Mamii, Cam, Tyler Johnson, Dave Hamelin, and Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter to find the secret gems in each song.  The process, sometimes years in the making, often meant combining pieces of different recordings, changing the instrumentation here, adding a snare there, to land at the perfect spot in the right time.

“This album took over five years,” she says. “It’s been really great to have the time and the grace to be able to take my time with it. I was initially going to put COWBOY CARTER out first, but with the pandemic, there was too much heaviness in the world.  We wanted to dance.  We deserved to dance.  But I had to trust God’s timing.”

And the musical alliance here includes contributions from an impressive list of artists as vocalists, musicians, and orators, including Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Linda Martell, Stevie Wonder, Chuck Berry, Mylie Cyrus, Post Malone, Jon Batiste, Rhiannon Giddens, Nile Rodgers, Robert Randolph, Gary Clark, Jr., Willie Jones, Brittney Spencer, Shaboozey, Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell and Tiera Kennedy.

COWBOY CARTER is the musical concoction you did not expect from the world’s most innovative artist and producer, who has made it the norm to push the boundaries in delivering art that challenges the senses. It’s about culture, legacy, and a critical addition to the American songbook from the most important and creative talent in a Century.

I think people are going to be surprised because I don’t think this music is what everyone expects,” Beyoncé says, “but it’s the best music I’ve ever made.”

Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER is available now via Parkwood Entertainment, Columbia Records and Sony Music Entertainment.

Josh Cullen of SB19 and up-and-coming rapper Al James collaborate on “Yoko Na

Pop sensation Josh Cullen and well-known rapper Al James collaborated on a new song called “Yoko Na,” which was published by Sony Music Entertainment.

In terms of lyrics,  “Yoko Na” conveys the things that are stated but not said during a breakup. It recognizes that despite one’s greatest efforts to endure to the very end, a relationship that was once vibrant and full of promises might unexpectedly cease.

With catchy rap verses from both singers, an unstoppable chorus, and a lively arrangement that combines contemporary hip-hop and R&B tastes with emotional flair, the song has all the makings of a summer anthem.

Collaborating with Josh on co-production, Brian Lotho skillfully conveys the core of the words with a steely defiance. He adds a distinct accent that evokes irreparable devastation, such the sound of bottles smashing or tables flipping, providing an added depth of authenticity.  

“Well, Yoko Na is like the product of a soul-baring session with my producer, Brian Lotho,” Josh Cullen explains. “For this particular jam, we traded cliched love stories with messy, real-life situations that ordinary people encounter on a daily basis: the frustrations and struggles from past relationships, and somehow confronted it with a more mature take. It’s a song that’s raw, honest, and straight from the heart.”

The partnership came to fruition after realizing that Al James’ style of laid-back rapping somehow fits the demo that Brian and Josh have been working on for months. Josh admits that he mustered the courage to ask the viral hitmaker to be part of the track despite the short notice. Luckily, Al James said yes and sent his verse a few days ahead of the deadline.

When asked about how Al James is as a collaborator, he said nothing but praise for the Pa-umaga act.

“He’s very chill. He submitted the reworked track ahead of time and recorded his parts in less than an hour. I really admire his level of professionalism. After that, we just bonded instantly and went on a food trip.”

The song Yoko Na  by Josh Cullen and Al James is currently available via Sony Music Entertainment on all digital music platforms worldwide.

The inspirational song “SWOOSH” by Alex Bruce is released just in time for International Women’s Month

The track debuted live last year with a FIBA 2023 halftime performance and a NIKE campaign backing it up

The new song “SWOOSH,” by Filipino rapper Alex Bruce, which was distributed by Sony Music Entertainment, delves into themes of empowerment, perseverance, and success.

The bass-heavy, hip-hop song, which is suitable for the celebration of International Women’s Month due to its positive message, was originally written for the FIBA campaign of international athletic brand NIKE, of which she was an ambassador.

The young rapper claims that “SWOOSH” is about emulating the essence of NIKE’s well-known slogan, “Just Do It!” in all facets of existence. “In some ways, it’s more than just a song; it’s an anthem, a celebration of the strength of willpower, self-belief, and seizing the moment.”

The young rapper debuted the track live last year with a halftime show performance at FIBA 2023. Alex recalls having a great time performing the song for the first time with a global audience glued to their screens and with her fellow countrymen cheering for her.

“Performing at the FIBA halftime show was ‘the’ experience,” the BLING artist fondly shares. “Not only was I thrilled to be showcasing my artistry on such a huge stage, but I was also super excited to be joined by the amazing talents of ATEAM—sixteen dancers whose energy and passion added extra flavor and dimension to the performance.”

GOODSON and SHAQUIRO produced “SWOOSH” for her. In addition, Alex affirmed the caliber and versatility of her frequent producers, attributing the partnership’s success to their shared respect for one another.

In addition, Alex Bruce says, “I am friends with them, which makes the working environment more fun and conducive to ideas.” 

SWOOSH  is now available via Sony Music Entertainment on all digital music platforms worldwide.
