OHMYGOSSIP — Robbie Williams has been added to the line-up for Hits Live Manchester.
The ‘Angels’ hitmaker will join the likes of One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne, Mabel, Mark Ronson, Anne-Marie, Tom Walker, Zara Larsson and Jonas Blue at Manchester Arena on November 17 for Hits Radio’s annual music extravaganza.
Meanwhile, Hits Live is also coming to Liverpool and Birmingham on November 15 and November 16, respectively.
Hits Live Liverpool, which takes place at the M&S Bank Arena, will see James Arthur, John Newman, Jax Jones, Sigala, Freya Ridings, Becky Hill, Raye plus HRVY and Joel Corry take to the stage.
And those heading to Birmingham’s Resorts World Arena are in for a treat, with Lewis Capaldi, Rita Ora, Craig David, Sigala, Jax Jones, John Newman, The Script, Becky Hill and Raye confirmed.
Robbie joining the Hits Live line-up comes hot off the heels of him announcing he’s recorded a song with Tyson Fury on his upcoming Christmas album.
The 45-year-old singer asked the 31-year-old boxer to sing on ‘Bad Sharon’, a song about a “boozy office party”, which is taken from his upcoming festive LP ‘The Christmas Present’, and he thinks the heavyweight has “smashed it” in the recording studio.
Robbie said of the track: “That makes sense in some sort of universe! I got my residency in Vegas and while I was out there Tyson was fighting and he invited me into his dressing room, is it called a dressing room when you fight? I don’t know.
“And I asked him and he said yes and the song itself, ‘Bad Sharon’, is basically a boozy office party somewhere in the Midlands and it makes sense for Tyson, in that moment in my head, and to be fair he’s smashed it.”
Robbie was also delighted to have both Bryan Adams and Rod Stewart record songs for the album because they have always been inspirations to him.
Plus his seven-year-old daughter Teddy – whose mother is Ayda Field, with whom Robbie also has Coco, 13 months, and four-year-old son Charlie – also makes her musical debut on the record.
Tickets for all events are on sale now, from £28 plus booking fees, www.hitsradio.co.uk.

OHMYGOSSIP — Yungblud wants to be the voice of a generation.
The 22-year-old English singer – whose real name is Dominic Harrison – wants to be known as the biggest rock star on 2020 and he is happy to be vocal about his big ambition.
In an interview with NME, he said: “I wanna be the rock star for the 2020 generation. People always advise me, ‘Don’t say that you want to be something, just in case you don’t turn out to be it.’ But I’m not afraid to say that I wanna be the rock kid for them. I hate it when people say, ‘Rock isn’t cool’. Rock is so f***ing cool. Pouring your heart out is cool.”
The ‘I Love You, Will You Marry Me’ singer – who is dating American pop star Halsey – teamed up with the Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds on the new track from his new EP ‘The Underrated Youth’, released on Friday (18.10.19).
And Yungblud has revealed he and Dan shared a “mutual raw energy” in the studio which meant the song was recorded in just one day.
Following the release of his debut album ’21st Century Liability’ in 2018, Yungblud’s fan base grew quickly and he insists his followers are as much a part of his music and pop persona as he is.
He explained: “Yungblud ain’t just me. It’s become a community and a bit of a f***ing movement. I am 50 per cent of Yungblud and the other 50 per cent is them. If you feel like you don’t belong anywhere then you belong right here with me. This whole movement feels so punk and rebellious – it’s punk to have a community and to battle against loneliness.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jaden and Willow Smith are co-headlining a new tour.
The siblings – whose parents are Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith – have revealed that they will kick off their 19-date ‘Willow Erys Tour’ tour on November 12 in San Diego, California and perform in Texas, New York and Canada before closing the tour on December 19 in Los Angeles.
Jaden, 21, announced the news on Instagram by sharing a video of himself and Willow, 18.
In the clip, he says: “Willow? What’s the first memory you can remember?”
She replies “The sun. You?” and Jaden answers “The moon.”
Willow’s ‘Like A Bird’ then begins playing and tour dates start to appear on the screen.
Special guests on the tour will include Lido, Harry Hudson, ¿Téo?, and Tyler Cole.
Willow released her self-titled album in July, the same month as Jaden dropped his second album, ‘Erys’.
Willow previously revealed that she started self-harming following the success of her hit single ‘Whip My Hair’ when she was just 10 years old.
She said: “I was super young, and I had a dream, but all I really wanted to do was sing and I didn’t equate that with all the business and the stress that ended up coming with it. I was just like, ‘Whoa, this is not the life that I want’.
“[By my early teens I started cutting because it was] a physical release of all the intangible pain that’s happening in your heart and in your mind.”
The singer and actress shaved her head when she was 12, and admitted this year she had turned to self harm by the time she was a teenager.
She said: “It was after that whole ‘Whip My Hair’ thing and I had just stopped doing singing lessons and I was kind of just in this grey area of, ‘Who am I? Do I have a purpose? Is there anything I can do besides this?’
“After the tour and the promotion and all of that, they wanted me to finish my album. And I was like, I’m not gonna do that. And after all of that kinda settled down and it was like a kind of lull, I was just listening to a lot of dark music. It was just so crazy and I was plunged into this black hole, and I was cutting myself.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jimmy Eat World never expected to be around for 25 years.
The Jim Adkins-fronted rock band released their 10th studio album, ‘Surviving’, on Friday (18.10.19) and the singer has admitted the ‘Bleed American’ rockers have always tried to “focus on the short term” and never anticipated having such a long career.
Asked if they expected to keeping rocking into their 70s like The Rolling Stones, Jim – who co-founded the band in 1993 – said: “I don’t know, I think we’ve done a good job without setting realistic goals for ourselves, really tried to focus on the short term – not setting expectations that far in the future and so far that seems to of worked.
“I mean, it’s our 25th year as a band and it’s something I don’t think any of us would have thought we would get too but, you know, we’re just really grateful to be here and it’s awesome.
The US singer thinks always making music that is “challenging and rewarding” has been a secret ingredient to their longevity, as well as respecting one another’s ideas.
He said: “I think we’ve done a good job of just being respectful to each other and realise that we’re all fighting for the same thing, we’re all on the same team and trying to keep things fun, and trying to keep music challenging, rewarding.”
The ‘Get Right’ band – completed by Zach Lind, Tom Linton and Rick Burch – have just released an 80s’ sci-fi influence music video for the album’s track ‘555’, which is about “accepting your reality, and the damage it can cause”.
On what inspired the promo, Jim explained: “I’ve always liked the Rick Springfield video for ‘Bop ‘Till You Drop’.
“A reptilian overlord managing his minions gets overthrown by his workforce.
“He’s kind of trying to keep them in line, but one guy breaks into song and mass rebellion ensues.
“From the overlord’s perspective, that day was a pretty bad day.
“I always thought that was funny.
“So ‘555’ sees me cast as a galactic evil master, overseeing an army of cloned species doing my bidding – this is the only life they know, joining me in song in this post-apocalyptic dystopia.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Yungblud can’t believe he collaborated with Dan Reynolds on his new EP.
The 22-year-old star is a huge fan of the Imagine Dragons frontman and is still in shock that Dan agreed to work on the track ‘Original Me’ for the EP ‘The Underrated Youth’.
He told Billboard: “I watched him at Leeds Festival like six years ago and was like ‘Holy s**t, man!’ It was when ‘Radioactive’ had just come out. I was obsessed with this band, and now I’m doing a record with the lead singer… like, what?”
Although Dan – who welcomed his fourth child with wife Aja Volkman this month – was raised a Mormon, he has become a passionate activist for LGBTQ rights and reached out to Yungblud to praise the star’s advocacy for the community.
Yungblud explained: “He said, ‘The world ain’t ready for you yet, and I wanna do a record with you and help you as much as I can’. And I’m just like, ‘This is Dan Reynolds from Imagine Dragons, I’ve just s**t my pants.’
“I want this EP to be a trust exercise. You know, when you fall back and someone catches you. I want people to have that sense of belonging, like someone’s going to have their back.”
Yungblud also recently contributed to the ’13 Reasons Why’ soundtrack with the single ‘Die A Little’ and said it was important to him because he has struggled with his mental health.
He said: “I admire the show because, as someone who suffers from depression and anxiety, it highlights it to a part of society that would never normally see it. Yes, it’s triggering. Yes, it’s uncomfortable to watch… But you know what’s more uncomfortable? Someone looking you in the face and going, ‘What you’re going through is unjustified. It’s just a phase. You’ll get through it.’ Because they’re not educated on it. What it does is what all good art should do – it shines a light and provides education on a subject in society in order to make people understand.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Charli XCX has started working on her fourth studio album – just one month after releasing ‘Charli’.
The 27-year-old singer dropped her third studio album ‘Charli’ last month, but she told fans there will not be a deluxe version of the record coming anytime soon because she is too busy making her next album.
She wrote on Twitter: “Yesterday Charli was 1 month old!!!! Thank u for all the love for this album. If there was a deluxe version the cover would probs be something like this- lol (there isn’t a deluxe, I’m already making the next one tbh). Anyways… stream Charli! (sic)”
But things didn’t go smoothly with Charli’s third album – the follow-up to 2014’s ‘Sucker’ – with some of the record leaked online in 2017, resulting in her re-writing the album.
Charli recently admitted the leak had “really affected” her.
She said: “You say a few songs here and there, it was all my songs ever made.”
However, the ‘I Love It’ hitmaker can understand why her fans would do it – but it made her feel like she had no ownership over her own music.
She added: “They feel they just want the music and that leaking it is helping me.
“I didn’t really talk about it because I didn’t want to encourage more of it, but you know, having your work stolen is really sad.
“It made me feel like I didn’t own it anymore.
“I think it really affected me quite a lot.”
‘Charli’ features collaborations with the likes of Lizzo (‘Blame It On Your Love’), Christine and the Queens (‘Gone’), Haim (‘Warm’) and two with Troye Sivan (‘1999’ and ‘2099’).

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift has compared songwriting to being haunted.
The ‘ME!’ singer finds penning new tracks a “strange” process because it doesn’t always happen in the same way and sometimes she can’t even explain where her inspiration has come from.
Speaking of her song ‘Lover’, she said: “There’s a song that I wrote on the album that I knew as soon as I wrote it, it was going to be the title track.
“Writing songs is strange because it never happens exactly the same way, but sometimes it happens in a way that feels like this weird haunting that you can’t really explain. Like you don’t know where these ideas came from and you feel like you didn’t work at all to write it, and that’s the best kind of song.”
And when it came to writing ‘Lover’, Taylor was struck by inspiration in the middle of the night and she quickly had the track down.
She added: “With this song, it was just one of those weird moments, just middle of the night, I’m like in my pjs, stumbling to the piano as I got this idea and the song just happened really quickly.”
The 29-year-old star – who is dating actor Joe Alwyn – is particularly proud of the song because of it’s positive lyrics as she is typically known for penning break-up songs.
Speaking while recording an intimate performance for NPR Music’s ‘Tiny Desk Concert Series’, she said: “There’s a line in the song that I’m really proud of, and the line says, ‘With every guitar string scar in my hand, I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover,’ and that line is really special to me because I’ve spent quite a bit of time writing break-up songs.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Leonard Cohen was posthumously inducted into the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Hall Of Fame on Wednesday night (16.10.19).
The ‘Hallelujah’ hitmaker – who passed away at home at the age of 82 in November 2016 – was honoured at the ceremony at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, which saw folk-rock singer Thea Gilmore pay tribute to the late Canadian songwriter-and-poet with a rousing performance of the music icon’s acclaimed 1984 track ‘Dance Me To The End Of Love’.
Cohen follows in the footsteps of the likes of the late Woody Guthrie, Nick Drake, Sandy Denny, Ewan MacColl and Cecil Sharp in joining the Hall of Fame.
Meanwhile, guitar legend Wizz Jones, 80, and Irish group Dervish both received Lifetime Achievement Awards.
Shane Mitchell of Dervish – who formed in 1989 – said: “We are thrilled and so delighted to be receiving this very special honour at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, particularly as this is the 30th anniversary of the band.”
Elsewhere, rising star Maddie Morris was presented with the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award.
Lewis Carnie, head of Radio 2, said: “A huge congratulations to all of the winners at the Radio 2 Folk Awards tonight.
“I am delighted that at Radio 2, we can keep celebrating the very best of folk music every year, and we’re honoured to have witnessed such an array of sensational performances on stage this evening in Manchester.”
In September, a posthumous Cohen album was announced for release on November 22.
Music royalty including Beck, Feist, Damien Rice and members of the National and Arcade Fire feature on ‘Thanks for the Dance’, which has been produced by Cohen’s son Adam.
The ‘Suzanne’ hitmaker’s bandmate Javier Mas also plays guitar.
Adam, 47, said: “In composing and arranging the music for his words, we chose his most characteristic musical signatures, in this way keeping him with us.
“What moves me most about the album is the startled response of those who have heard it. ‘Leonard lives!’ they say, one after the other.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lewis Capaldi is learning to play the piano on the advice of Sir Elton John.
The 23-year-old Scottish musician spent time with Elton, 72, and his “lovely” family on board the ‘Tiny Dancer’ singer’s yacht in August and during one conversation the ‘Rocket Man’ hitmaker told Lewis it would be great if he did a solo performance on the piano at his gigs.
Lewis
Speaking at the Q Awards at The Roundhouse in London on Wednesday (16.10.19), he revealed: “Elton asked me what my live set-up was and I said, ‘I’ve got the band and I play the guitar and I sing a bit.’ And he said to me, ‘Next time you do a tour, do a song on piano, people would love to see it.’ I’m gonna do it.”
When asked if he’d be up for being taught by piano master Elton, the ‘Someone You Loved’ singer said: “”Ah f**k, that’d be lovely wouldn’t it. That’d be great. The thing is, I’m lazy as f**k. If I didn’t start playing guitar when I was nine I’d have gone, ‘F**k that, too many strings.’
“But I’m going give it a go and to try my best and think, ‘Remember, Elton John said you should do this. Sir Elton.’ ”
Lewis admits he had the best time with Elton and the pair spent a lot of time playing each other songs that they like.
He said: “I f***ing loved it … It ended up just me and him showing each other songs that we liked on his iPad, which is something I’ve done with my friends with a cable in my car. Now it’s with f***ing Elton John! It’s crazy. But he was lovely, and he said if anything you ever ever want to talk about, or need advice, just give me a call. The whole thing was just brilliant.”

OHMYGOSSIP — James Bay is “deep into writing” his third album.
The ‘Hold Back The River’ hitmaker took to his social media profiles on Wednesday (16.10.19) to give fans an update on his follow-up to 2018’s ‘Electric Light’, and it looks like he’s channelling all kinds of emotions into the new tunes as he appeared to describe the process as everything from “challenging”, “scary” to “confusing”.
Alongside some professional snaps of him playing his guitar, James wrote on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter: “Deep into writing album 3 now. Exciting, scary, difficult, challenging, confusing, addictive, curious times.”
Little is known about what direction James will take for his next studio effort, however it was recently revealed that he has collaborated on a song with The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers.
The pair have co-written the track ‘Easy Distraction’ together.
Although it’s not yet known who will perform what on the song, which they received help from past collaborators Tommy King and Ariel Rechtshaid on, and whether it will be a song for James’ record or the ‘Human’ rockers.
In May, James – who has released his debut album ‘Chaos and the Calm’ in 2015 – surprised fans with the release of the EP ‘Oh My Messy Mind’, which features the song ‘Peer Pressure’ with Julia Michaels.
He also has a song with Westlife on their upcoming album ‘Spectrum’, which is due out on November 15.
It’s no surprise James has branched out with several collaborations as he previously revealed his second album – which was noticeably different to his guitar-led debut LP – was inspired by the music of pop megastars Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift and the way they always “break themselves again as an artist on the world’s stage” with everything they do.
James said previously: “Ed and Taylor have almost treated each release like they’re trying to break themselves again as an artist on the world’s stage.
“So I’m treating this like that. Not just because I’ve lived this for a while now, and I’m still living it, and that feels like the smartest
move.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lewis Capaldi’s bank card was declined at Glastonbury.
The 23-year-old Scottish star has revealed he was left embarrassed when his debit card was rejected whilst buying shots for his celebrity pals after he made his debut on the Other Stage at the Somerset festival in June.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column at the Q Awards at London’s Roundhouse on Wednesday night (16.10.19), he admitted: “I”m really s*** at transferring money on to cards.
“I just played and I was so excited so I was like, ‘Let’s get some shots’, and then I completed f***ed it.
“I think Jack Whitehall’s sister’s fiance paid as I f***ed it.”
The ‘Someone You Loved’ hitmaker has become a breakout global superstar since he released his hit single earlier this year, but he still lives with his parents in Scotland because he doesn’t earn as much as people think – while he splashes what he does have on grub.
He recently said: “There’s always room to earn more. I still live with my parents so I don’t think I am earning that much money!
“And all I spend my money on is food because I can’t help stuffing my face. I am splurging on food and it shows, it’s showing on my gut, my gut is expanding every day.”
The ‘Hold Me While You Wait’ hitmaker admitted when he does get to enjoy some of his wealth, he has one purchase in mind.
He added: “I’d like to buy a nice watch one day but that’s if I don’t spend all my money on food…
“What do people with money buy? Exotic animals? Mike Tyson had a tiger, Justin Bieber had that monkey, Michael Jackson had a monkey too but none of these guys had big fat snakes.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Beck thought he was going to end up making songs like Snoop Dogg’s ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ when he entered the studio with Pharrell Williams.
The ‘Loser’ hitmaker co-produced much of his upcoming album, ‘Hyperspace’, with the N.E.R.D. star and revealed they both had different ideas at the start of what direction to head in for Beck’s follow-up to 2017’s ‘Colors’.
Pharrell, who produced and featured on 2004’s ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’, advised Beck that he “felt very strongly” that they should work on “singer-songwriter” stuff and not hip-hop.
In an interview with NME, he said: “I was not expecting the songs to come out how they did.
“I was going in thinking of songs like ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’, y’know?
“He felt very strongly that spending a little time with me, that ‘You need to be doing singer-songwriter type of songs’. So that was more of the direction we went in.”
The star-studded record features collaborations with the likes of Coldplay’s Chris Martin (‘Stratosphere’), Sky Ferreira (‘Die Waiting’) and producers Paul Epworth and Greg Kurstin, the latter whom co-wrote and produced ‘Dreams’, the first single from ‘Colors’.
Beck, who has shared new single ‘Uneventful Days’ today (17.10.19), had only planned on doing a “single or EP”, but he and Pharrell were “surprised” by just how much work they had and didn’t want to waste the tracks, so he it turned into a full-length release.
Beck added: “I had a few things after the ‘Colors’ tour finished and I really wanted to seize the moment with this project.
“There’d been a period of time where Pharrell had been really busy and an opportunity opened up so I went with it.
“Originally it was going to be a single or an EP, but I think we were both surprised when there was a body of work here.”
‘Happy’ hitmaker Pharrell also brought “minimalist” production to the record, a first for the Grammy-winner.
Beck explained: “I really tried to be less ambitious on the production on these songs, like to let them be simple and let them breathe. Pharrell is a master minimalist.
“On production I’m a bit of a maximalist – I’m known to have 140 tracks of things trying to coexist and fight to be heard at the same time. I’ve really tried to reform myself to let it be more simple.”

‘Hyperspace’ is released on November 22.

The track-listing for the album is:
1. ‘Hyperlife’
2. ‘Uneventful Days’
3. ‘Saw Lightning’
4. ‘Die Waiting’
5. ‘Chemical’
6. ‘See Through’
7. ‘Hyperspace’
8. ‘Stratosphere’
9. ‘Dark Places’
10. ‘Star’
11. ‘Everlasting Nothing’

OHMYGOSSIP — Def Leppard’s Vivian Campbell has had surgery on his spine.
The 57-year-old guitarist went under the knife last week and has spent the past few days resting with an ice pack on his back to aid his recovery, but is determined to push through with his upcoming scheduled performances nonetheless.
Speaking on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation, he said: “My back is the issue at the moment. I did spine surgery last Wednesday, so I’m sitting here with an ice pack and a back brace on.
“It’s gonna be difficult for me to do these next couple of weeks’ worth of [Def Leppard and Last in Line] shows.
“I’m gonna be moving very slowly. But I know that I can get on stage and I can play guitar and I can sing, so that’s all I need to do.
“It’ll be the travel in between that’s gonna be extremely uncomfortable.”
Campbell hasn’t had the best of luck with his health over the years as back in 2013 he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and is now trying to manage the condition.
He explained: “As far as the cancer, I’m just doing these infusions. I go back to City Of Hope tomorrow and get another infusion. And that’ll keep me right for another three to four weeks. It’s just maintenance. It’s all good as far as I’m concerned.”
Asked if his cancer iwill ever fully go into remission or if it’s something that he will have to manage for the rest of his life, he explained: “Right now, it’s just holding, and has been for four years. So I’m very fortunate that I caught my cancer early enough to where this is okay to keep it in this holding pattern.
“So until something else comes along. The technology is moving at a furious pace — there’s so many new cancer treatments and alternative treatments coming to light year after year. The treatment that I’m on — in fact, I was part of a clinical trial of that — that’s relatively new. So I’m very fortunate that way, that I caught it early and I happen to be a good candidate for this particular treatment and it’s a good place holder. So it doesn’t really have any impact on my life other than scheduling and [being] a little bit tired for a few days around the infusions.
“But right now it’s kind of slid to second place on the complaints list because of the back surgery. So that’s my more pressing concern.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Big Narstie won’t be a “w***e” to the mainstream as he looks to save grime with his new EP.
The ‘Hell No’ hitmaker – who dropped new track ‘Pony’ last month – wants to reinvigorate the “underground scene” and insisted he won’t be following in the footsteps of some of his contemporaries chasing chart success by delving into other genres.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column, he said: “I have an EP coming out, I am going back to my root, flooding the underground scene as I never want to lose my connection with them.
“Now a lot of artists have moved on to the mainstream side of things, it has left the scene a bit dormant and, as a pioneer and lover of the grime scene, I never want to see it dormant.
“I’m not looking to be a w***e and bend my back to assist any other genre accept my own.”
Meanwhile, Narstie also defended his friend Ed Sheeran after Wiley branded the singer a “culture vulture” for adopting grime influences in his music.
However, the rapper insisted: “Ed is cool still, he is doing very well, his new songs are pucker, and tell him to keep making those strides and being himself.”
Wiley recently reignited the feud as he accused Ed of befriending certain people within the grime scene, including Stormzy, in order to gain popularity.
However, the ‘Big For Your Boots’ star – who teamed with the ‘Shape of You’ hitmaker on the track ‘Take Me Back To London’ – later defended his pal.
He tweeted: “Wiley you know Ed been doing this from early, been a real one from early, can’t question that, you know I love you and respect you brother but nah don’t do that. (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Raye is working with Beyonce again after penning a track on her ‘The Lion King: The Gift’ album.
The 21-year-old British star penned the track ‘Bigger’ on the R&B superstar’s multi-artist record inspired by the Disney movie remake, and the pair hit it off so well that the ‘You Don’t Know Me’ hitmaker is working with Beyonce on her next project.
Raye told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “It is top secret with big artists. But I really, really loved her team and the whole vibe and, yeah, we are definitely working together on some new things.
“But there’s nothing much more I can really say, obviously.
“Her team is phenomenal. Beyonce is such an icon and she’s just so normal and lovely.”
On “having a vibe’ with her idol Beyonce and Seth Rogen – who voice Nala and Pumbaa respectively in the film – Raye recently said: “It was incredible.
“Seth Rogen was there.
“I would call them friends to an extent.
“It was really nice to spend time with somebody I have idolised my whole life.
“It was just like friends in a circle having vibe.”
And it might not be long before we hear something from Beyonce’s new project, as the Destiny’s Child star and her husband Jay-Z are reportedly collaborating on a new song and “steamy” music video.
An insider said recently: “It’s one of her most extravagant and expensive shoots.
“It was mostly filmed in LA and has a highly choreographed routine and also a steamy, romantic scene.
“She is working with some new creatives and is ready to change things up.”
The power couple teamed on the 2018 album ‘Everything Is Love’, billed as The Carters, and they also toured the record on the ‘On The Run II Tour’.
The pair are known for their big budget promos and for the album’s track ‘Ape S**t’, which was directed by Ricky Saiz, they filmed in the Louvre museum in Paris.
