New Music: Daley feat. Miss Jill Scott – Until The Pain Is Gone!


New Music: Daley feat. Jill Scott – Until The Pain Is Gone!
Take a moment and escape into a world of soulful bliss!
More than a year after previewing the song for fans, Daley has finally released the studio version of his collaboration with Jill Scott, “Until The Pain Is Gone.”

The intoxicating duet is the first single from the UK crooner’s upcoming EP, which follows his acclaimed 2014 debut album, Days + Nights. Everything we love about Daley and Jill is experienced throughout this soul-stirring ballad that plays with our heartstrings in all the right ways.
“Try to see this through my eyes / ‘Cause you’re not the only one confused / In this world where love is prone to lose,” sings Daley. While Jilly from Philly responds to his requests to pursue real love, “Can you convince me? / Change my mind / We can leave all those demon days behind / Cause didn’t I mention, I have nothing but good intentions for you.”

The song hits close to home for Daley, “The song kind of came out of frustration I was feeling in a relationship,” he told Billboard. “The situation was going nowhere because we both weren’t really fully able to admit how we felt about each other and just be honest. And that situation didn’t really work out, but for the purposes of writing this song, I just kind of gave it a happy ending and idealized it a little bit.”
While writing the song, he felt Jill Scott would be the perfect collaborator on the record. “When I was in the studio writing the song, I just had a feeling, and I kept hearing Jill’s voice in the mix when I was writing. It was kind of strange, almost like it was asking for her energy.”

Fall in love with the infectious new duet HERE

#RHoA: So NeNe Leakes doesn’t want Marlo Hampton to be a Housewife…EVER?
These two girls here! When Marlo Hampton returned to The Real Housewives of Atlanta this season, she wasted no time in taking a jab at NeNe Leakes. When things got heated between Marlo and Kenya Moore at Phaedra Parks' pop-up shop event, Marlo questioned Kenya's friendship and authenticity, calling her "NeNe Junior" in the process.

NeNe was having none of that when she appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. "I can't believe we talking about Marlo. When all y'all gonna give her a peach? If you were gonna give her one, I know you would've given her one a long time ago, so it look like you ain't gon' get now," NeNe said, throwing shade at Marlo seeming to want to become a Housewife.
In fact, NeNe told Andy Cohen that she wanted Marlo to become a Housewife, long before we saw their infamous falling out. "When you're a good friend to these folks, you want to help them out," she said on WWHL. "But they're also very thirsty. I mean, it shows."

Marlo has yet to say anything about NeNe's comments, But I’m sure she will…STAY TUNED! (h/t Bravo)


Taraji P. Henson: ‘I Was Hurt’ After Reading ‘Hidden Figures’ Script
Taraji P. Henson’s biggest takeaway from her role in “Hidden Figures” is simple: “A brilliant mind does not have a color or a gender.”
On “The Talk,” Henson opened up about her role as African-American mathematician Katherine Johnson. The film, which opens Friday, highlights the historical contributions of Johnson, Dorothy Vaughn (played by Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (played by Janelle MonĂ¡e), who provided NASA with integral data during astronaut John Glenn’s historic orbit in 1962.
Henson told the show that she was a “hurt” after she first read the film’s script. “I was hurt because growing up as a young girl there was an understanding that math and science were for boys, so I immediately I felt like a dream had been stolen from me,” she said. “After I got the script, I was like, ‘Wow, that’s horrible.’ Because what if I was allowed to dream to be a rocket scientist. Who knows where my life would be.”

The actress said she decided to take on the role in an effort to inspire young girls to become more active in math and science.
“I made it my mission to be a part of this film because I didn’t want another girl to ever believe that her brain cannot understand numbers and rocket science,” she said. “If a boy can do it, you can do it too. A brilliant mind does not have a color or a gender.”


New Music from Syd of (The Internet) – Body
Hot off the release of her “All About Me” music video, Syd (of The Internet) returns with “Body,” another single off her forthcoming debut album Fin.
The Odd Future songstress keeps the mellow vibes rolling on the track, which blends her soothing harmonies with a seductive pull. “We can take it slow / Say my name / Don’t let go / I can hear your body / When I pull your hair,” she sings.
The Internet star also finds herself in the director’s chair while her girl performs on the track. “The bed is your stage,” she sings over the MeLo-X production. “Take it away / Put on a show / Put on a play.”

Listen HERE
Fin, featuring “Body” and “All About Me,” is set to drop Feb. 3. Following the album’s release, Syd will join The Internet on a tour, which kicks off Feb. 18 at the Soulquarius festival.


New Hip Hop from Diddy & French Montana – ‘Can’t Feel My Face’
Diddy and French Montana are celebrating their camaraderie and numbness with a new collaboration, “Can’t Feel My Face.”
The trap-infused banger is sure to raise eyebrows with a thinly-veiled reference to a certain woman.
 “I watched these ni**as get rich tellin’ these f**kin’ fables,” rhymes Puff. “They like to cook the numbers / We don’t cook the numbers / We just want the summer / You can have that woman / These ni**as really out here trippin’, man.”
Of course, the song drops just as Diddy’s one-time rival Drake is rumored to be dating his famous ex, Jennifer Lopez.

But the song isn’t the only thing Diddy and French dropped. The two also teamed up to release a visual for the single, featuring the two Bad Boys on a private jet. Puff dons all black in the clip, while Montana rocks a white ski mask.
At the end of the video, Montana — a longtime Drake buddy — says, “I have to act like I don’t see nothing. I have to act like I’m numb to the pain. I’m bleeding on the inside. That’s why I do the things I do.”

It’s unclear where “Can’t Feel My Face” will land. For now, go jet-setting with Diddy and French here

“The Mahogany brand is genuine, progressive and optimistic – values that are important to me and reflected in my music and poetry, and now, through my card collection,” Scott said in a statement. “I was inspired by highlights within my own life – love, marriage, motherhood – in the writing behind these cards, and I am excited to be involved in a project that will give others another way to express their love to the people that matter most to them.”

OMG! Upcoming Actor Jay Bowdy Commits suicide streamed on Facebook, days after he was arrested in alleged sex crime
An aspiring actor from Texas killed himself Monday in North Hollywood while broadcasting on Facebook’s livestream, and authorities said the suicide occurred days after he was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault.
The man, identified by the coroner’s office as Frederick Jay Bowdy, told followers watching via livestream that he was going to commit suicide, prompting an out-of-state family member to call the Los Angeles Police Department about 5:30 a.m., according to Sgt. Tiffany Ljubetic.
Police tried to reach Bowdy, who was in a car near Cumpston Street and Fulcher Avenue, but he killed himself before officers made contact with him, Ljubetic said. He was 33 years old.

Users on Facebook who viewed the video expressed shock and sadness, and some wondered if it was a hoax since Bowdy was an actor. The video was later removed by Facebook, according to the company.
The Los Angeles County coroner’s office was expected to rule on the cause of death this week, but Lt. Larry Dietz confirmed Bowdy’s death appeared to be a suicide.
Bowdy was arrested Thursday morning in Santa Clarita on suspicion of sexual assault. He was released Friday after posting $100,000 bail, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Sgt. Janice Banks.
Bowdy was a recent transplant to Southern California from Texas, where he had worked as a teacher and coach in the Fort Worth area. He also owned a semi-professional basketball team in Fort Worth.

According to a biography issued by the team, Bowdy graduated from the University of West Georgia before earning a master’s degree in education from University of Texas in Arlington.
Bowdy appeared to be building an acting career, landing roles in the 2016 film “Prepper.” He also worked at the Hollywood Men, an exotic dance revue in Hollywood, and performed under the name “Houston.”

In a video posted to his official Facebook page, he discussed some of the challenges he faced growing up. He raised two children while attending college and later fathered four more kids, he said.
He showed promise as a basketball player but said he was sidelined by injuries that prevented him from accepting an opportunity to play in Egypt. When he was offered a role in a short film, he became more interested in acting, he explained.

“I love doing something I feel like I can be successful at,” he said

SAD!

Mexican President CANCELS visit to White House!
World News Tonight anchor David Muir asked Trump wide-ranging questions about his presidency, including his plan to build a border wall between Mexico and the United States.
 “Ultimately, it will come out of what’s happening with Mexico … and we will be in a form reimbursed by Mexico, which I’ve always said,” Trump said in the interview. “I’m just telling you there will be a payment. It will be in a form, perhaps a complicated form. What I’m doing is good for the United States. It’s also going to be good for Mexico. We want to have a very stable, very solid Mexico.”

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto condemned President Trump’s order to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border Wednesday, reiterating Mexico “will not pay for any wall” despite Trump’s assertion that his country would.

During his national address, Peña Nieto expressed his “regret” over Trump’s calling for the construction of a new wall near the southern border, saying he will “reject the decision of the U.S. to build the wall.”

The Daily Buzz For Nov 25



Michael B. Jordan Talks ‘Creed’ & More As He Covers ‘Vibe’ Magazine’s November Issue
With is new movie, Creed, due in theaters tomorrow, Michael B. Jordan poses as cover star for Vibe magazine’s November 2015 digital issue. During his interview with the mag he talks coming under fire for statements he made in GQ’s October 2015 issue, on women and roles he prefers to play.

In response to the backlash, he penned a letter addressing fans. When asked how he felt about writing the statement, he says: “That’s something I had control over and it was like, ‘Okay, this is what I meant.’ I’m sorry that I left room for error that could ever be misunderstood or taken out of context. That’s on me. I just want to set the record straight.”
He also opens up about his thoughts on people fearing success:

“I think a lot of people have a fear of success and they don’t either immediately acknowledge it or they don’t know it, but I think they do because what’s stopping you everyday from going out there and doing what you really want to do or giving 110 percent and all of you to things you really want to do?” he says. “What’s stopping you? Getting past that I think is a big obstacle for a lot of people. I’m working on it.”
When asked about his sentiment on selecting roles, “traditionally reserved for White actors,” as he stated in GQ, he insists: “I want things that are worldly, that anybody can go to the movie theaters and enjoy.”

“I just want to revert to my track record,” he continues. “It’s so easily forgotten how I got here, or the projects and the things that I’m involved in that got me to this point. It’s kind of hard to be labeled as whatever when my whole career, my whole everything, is based around who I am as a black man.”

In closing, he touches on his role in Creed, and how he hopes people will respond to it.

“There’s no other film besides Fruitvale that was a film that I got a lot of respect from. Hopefully Creed will be good and people will really respond to it, but it’s not for me to say it’s my breaking out,” he says. “I’ll let other people speculate on that.”

#EGGPLANT NATION! Usher and His Underwear Selfie
Singer Usher Raymond is the latest star to post provocative underwear Selfies on Instagram.com. The 37-year-old father of 2 posted an Instagram image of his muscular bod.

But unlike The Game and Rich Homie Quan, Usher is a married man who just recently tied the knot with his 40-something manager, Grace Miguel Raymond.

#RhoA: Oh My? Apollo Nida Accused of Cheating On Wife Phaedra Parks: They had sex in their son’s room!
A former stripper turned author is spilling all sorts of tea about some of your favorite celebrities. Cashaun Sidney has released a tell-all called Sordid Panties (yep, that’s the title!) where she tells her story of how she became an exotic dancer and some of the famous male celebs that she’s encounter while working in the business for 15 years.
In an interview with Shar Bates, Cashaun claims that Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Phaedra Parks’s husband Apollo Nida is a cheater.

Cashaun claims that her close girlfriend had a relationship of sorts with Apollo (who is now incarcerated). She recalled a story when the three of them went out to the strip club and later ended up at Phaedra’s home.
We end up at him and Phaedra’s house and I mean I’m the homegirl — so I had to play my position…At the end of the day, him and her went upstairs…

In addition to alluding to the fact that Apollo did ‘something’ with her friend in his son’s room, she also discusses her life as a stripper and why she got out the game.

Watch Jill Scott’s rendition of ‘Strange Fruit’!
If it was ever so fitting for this time!
On November 20, A&E aired the Shining a Light: A Concert for Progress on Race in America. The benefit concert highlighted issues of racial inequality and raised money for civil rights activism.  
Some of the biggest stars in music participated in the concert, such as Nicki Minaj, and Pharrell Williams. But one of the standout performances of the evening was Jill Scott's rendition of Billie Holiday's haunting song "Strange Fruit."
The lyrics describe the hanging bodies of black men killed by lynch mobs, and their corpses left swaying in the trees. In 2013, Kanye West sampled the song for "Blood on the Leaves" from his album Yeezus, but Scott's version keeps the mood of original song. 

Holiday's words still resonate given the recent deaths of black men and women at the hands of police violence, which can be interpreted as modern day lynchings. 

Watch Scott's powerful and somber performance

POWERFUL!



Hip Hop Nation: MC Lyte: Fetty Wap's the Most Feminist Rapper Out Right Now
MC Lyte recently spoke at a White House Council on Women and Girls, which featured a discussion on feminism in hip-hop. The legendary emcee revealed who she thought was promoting the idea of feminism right now, which included a list of all-male rappers. 

"I think you can. And I agree. At this point in time it probably is Fetty Wap. What I mean is that he may have a very unique way of presenting his ideas, but he does love women...For what he's up against in this climate with all of the other emcees, he's taking a stand. He's being pretty courageous right now with what it is that he presents in his music. Because it's really not the norm. When I was trying to write down a few people that may have said something."

She added, "Now there's of course Kendrick, right? And then there's Big Sean. He raps about his grandma. Any man that raps about his grandma you gotta show some love to. And then of course there's Common and Talib."

During the discussion the "Poor Georgie" rapper spoke about the importance of lyrical content in hip-hop, and she revealed changing up her own lyrics to be more conscious. 

"What I will say is that we need to give a few of these good men a chance in hoping that they will develop to be something else in the future. I know that when I first started I used a whole lot of profanity. I wasn't good at communicating, so I just used what I knew. And the more you understand that you're not just rocking for the block, that these words are going out across the entire globe. You at that point have to take responsibility and accountability. And I just think for Fetty Wap and some of these guys that I mentioned, that they really are on the forefront of what could be a great change in Hip Hop."

FASHION FILES: Jourdan Dunn Wins Model Of The Year At The 2015 British Fashion Awards
Actress Gwendoline Christie and supermodel Jourdan Dunn were honoured for their style sense at the 2015 British Fashion Awards on Monday night (November 23).
The "Game of Thrones" actress was named the Red Carpet Ambassador while Dunn was presented with the Model of the Year prize by Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing.
Singer FKA Twigs was handed the Fashion Innovator award, and credited her family for inspiring her to be different.

"I would like to dedicate this award to my mum because she used to make clothes that she wore and I wore," actor Robert Pattinson's girlfriend told the audience during her acceptance speech. "I used to want just a tenth of what she had - people used to look at her in the street because she looked so great. My nanna inspired us to be brave and creative and beautiful on the inside as well as the outside."

Fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld was also feted with the Outstanding Achievement award for his years of contributions to the fashion industry. The prize was presented to him by last year's (14) recipient, Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
Among the other attendees at the star-studded event, which was held at the London Coliseum, were Victoria and David Beckham, Rita Ora, Lady Gaga, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Orlando Bloom, Kate Beckinsale, and singer Lily Allen



Chrisette Michele Hosts “Milestone” Listening Party at Clark Atlanta University
Chrisette Michele hosted a listening party for her upcoming album “Milestone!” She took her fans on a journey with her new singles about love, strength, and many more.
#RichHipster and Grammy Winning singer Chrisette Michele hosted a listening session for her latest album “Milestone!” The intimate session was held in the Mass Media Department of Clark Atlanta University. Fans were able to take a personal look into the singer’s life and her development process for new album.

Michele began with opening up to the audience about her recent engagement to music producer Doug Ellison and their love story! The two have had their ups and downs, and at one point did not speak for seven years she admitted. However, in the end the two found themselves back in each others’ arms.

Michele speaks about how she recorded a total of two albums before choosing “Milestone.” It will be something different for the singer. She presented song that we would not normally imagine her singing. “That’s why it’s called ‘Milestone’ because I’ve never been this brave!”

The first song she played for us was “Steady,” she had already released for fans. She admitted that she was worried about releasing “Steady” It was fast-paced single and the singer described it as a party for her. “I wanted a trap beat! I always wanted a trap beat.” The next single she introduced was “Unbreakable.” Michele sings as how she could not be broken, no matter the circumstances!

She didn’t forget that her are still infatuated with her old sound & gave us a song similar to her hit “Blame It On Me.” It was called “To the Moon” and she explained to the audience how there were no harmonies, only octaves. The last song she presented was one that threw very subtle shade to her ex. “Diamond Letter” was a letter that she wrote for her ex while wearing the fabulous rock her fiancĂ© gave her weeks ago! Another highlighted moment was the audience asking her questions about love, the industry, and balance.
Although, “Milestone” doesn’t release until the spring of next year, we have so much to look forward to from her musically. She did promise us to bring us “the greatest art” we’ve ever felt! Personally, I believe she has lived up to this promise and I cannot wait to hear the complete product.




2016 Independent Spirit Awards: Cate Blanchett, Brie Larson, Idris Elba Score Nominations
For the past couple of years, several Film Independent Spirit Awards winners have also gone on to Oscar glory. Both 12 Years a Slave and Birdman took home the big prizes at ceremonies in 2014 and 2015 respectively.
The acting category winners have also fared well. Matthew Mcconaughey, Jared Leto, Patricia Arquette, Julianne Moore, JK Simmons and Cate Blanchett are all recent winners at both awards shows.

Speaking of Blanchett, she’s once again in the hunt for Best Actress. She’ll go up against her Carol co-star Rooney Mara and Oscar frontrunner Room‘s Brie Larson.
Spotlight which scored a Best Feature nod, surprisingly didn’t snag any solo acting nominations. Buzz surrounding the performances of Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton and Rachel McAdams has been huge. Poor McAdams, I fear she’ll once again be shut out when the Oscar nominations are announced. The film did, however, snag the Robert Altman Award for Best Ensemble.
