Rudimental’s DJ Locksmith tips Lewis Hamilton for music success

OHMYGOSSIP — Rudimental’s DJ Locksmith says Lewis Hamilton’s music is “really good”.
The Formula One racing world champion is already said to have recording sessions with the likes of Drake and Frank Ocean under his belt, and just last year, Jess Glynne – who worked with Rudimental on hit single ‘These Days’ – revealed she had studio time with him.
Now the drum and bass group’s band member – whose real name is Leon Rolle – has revealed he’s heard some of his stuff and he believes once he has retired from F1, Lewis stands a chance of making it in music.
Leon told the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column: “I remember speaking to Lewis Hamilton about this music career and he is constantly in the studio.
“I have heard some of his music he is really, really good, he is really, really talented, too.
“He is a really big music fan, I remember Lewis talking to us about the music scene, and I was in LA and some of his music came up and he is a pretty dab hand in the studio, really great.”
On the future for Lewis, he added: “It’s a good retirement plan there, at the moment he is at an all-time high with Formula 1 so there’s no need to get distracted – but he is really good.”
And when quizzed on whether he’d send some tips his way, Leon replied: “Always, yeah sure.”
The 34-year-old motorsport star previously suggested that as soon as he retires from the track, he will turn his focus towards music.
He explained: “This sport is not what my life is about. “When I stop, the sport will go on.
“I want to go on and be challenged by something else.”

Louis Tomlinson teases there is ‘not long now’ until he releases new music

OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Tomlinson has teased fans that there is “not long now” until he releases new tunes.
The One Direction star took to Twitter to thank fans for choosing him as the winner of the Choice Single: Male Artist Award at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards for his emotional single, ‘Two Of Us’ – which helped him with the grief of losing his mother Johannah Deakin – and hinted that new music or even possibly his debut solo album could be coming soon.
He wrote: “Just another thank you to everyone who voted for the award. You’re all incredible!! Not long now….. (sic)”
The ‘Just Hold On’ hitmaker previously revealed he was inspired by Liam Gallagher to bare his soul on the single.
The former Oasis rocker’s debut solo album ‘As You Were’ gave him the strength to work his own raw emotions into his lyrics.
He said: “I don’t like being clever for the sake of being clever. Sometimes it’s cool to read between the lines.
“My lyrical style, naturally, is to just be matter of fact, honest and sometimes blunt. I kind of shied away from writing that song because I didn’t really think I was ready to go through that process yet.
“I got into a session and we ended up getting into it, and it was going perfectly. I really did want to write this song, I was just intimidated at first because it had to be perfect.”
Liam’s introspective LP – which featured marriage breakup songs like ‘For What It’s Worth’ and ‘Paper Crown’ – inspired Louis to try and make a similar kind of impact with his own writing.
He added: “There had to be little things in there that were really thought-provoking for me. I feel like we got the whole message across perfectly.”
The 27-year-old singer tragically lost mum Johannah in 2016, when she passed away aged 43 after losing her battle with leukaemia, and on ‘Two of Us’ he painfully sings about wishing he was the one who died.
He belts out: “You’ll never know how much I miss you, the day that they took you, I wish it was me instead.”
On the chorus, Louis sings: “I will be the best of me, always keep you next to me, I’ll be living one life for the two of us.”
As well as debut single ‘Just Hold On’ and ‘Two Of Us’, Louis has released the tracks ‘Back to You’ with Bebe Rexha and Digital Farm Animals and ‘Miss You’.

Chvrches’ Lauren Mayberry hits back at critics of her ‘revealing outfits’

OHMYGOSSIP — Chvrches’ Lauren Mayberry has vowed to continue “dressing like a gothic Powerpuff Girl with Big Witch Energy” after being criticised for her “revealing” outfits.
The 31-year-old Scottish singer has slammed trolls who accused her of dressing “only for the attention of men” and insisted she wants her “performance image to be inherently feminine and tough as f***”.
In a lengthy statement posted on her Instagram Story uploaded from the Notes app on her phone, Lauren wrote: “To the people saying that my gig outfits are too revealing / I shouldn’t dress like that if I don’t want men to comment on it: I disagree.
“This argument assumes women only dress for the attention of men. When I dress for shows, I want to own my gender and my femininity.
“I want my performance image to be inherently feminine and tough as f*** because that is how I want to pretend to be – to myself, and to the women and young girls who come to our gigs.
“I don’t need to pretend to be One Of The Lads because I am not one.
“How I dress is part of how I express myself creatively and how I want to communicate our message.
“It’s about trying not to be ashamed of your own gender and identity, even when people tell you that you should be; about not being scared into hiding yourself because of the actions of others.”
The ‘Get Out’ singer also opened up about people trying to “weaponise [her] gender against [her]” and claimed that even when she dressed in casual jeans and baggy shirts, she was till judged because her outfit wasn’t feminine enough.
She continued: “People have tried to weaponise my gender against me since the start of my career as a musician.
“It happens now but it also happened when I was wearing baggy flannel shirts and jeans, because it’s not really about what a woman is wearing. It never is. “It’s about claiming ownership of women’s bodies and women’s narratives.”
Lauren vowed to continue dressing however she wants and closed her angry letter by insisting that others will “just have to deal with it”.
She concluded: “So I will continue dressing like a gothic Powerpuff Girl with Big Witch Energy and I hope that you’ll all do whatever your version of that is too.
“Everyone else will just have to deal with it. My body, my life, my choice.”

Taylor Swift announces new single Lover

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift will release her new single on Friday (16.08.19).
The 29-year-old singer is preparing for the release of her upcoming seventh studio album ‘Lover’ on August 23rd but she has announced that she will drop a single with the same name later this week.
Speaking during her acceptance speech at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday (11.08.19), Taylor told her fans: “I just wanted to tell you there’s so much I’m excited about in the next 12 days until my album ‘Lover’ comes out. The album comes out on August 23, but I wanted to tell you tonight that on the 16th, on Friday, I have a new song called ‘Lover’ coming out, and I’m so excited. I love you more than words can say.”
Taylor has already released three songs from the album, singles ‘Me!’ and ‘You Need To Calm Down’ and promotional track ‘The Archer’, which Taylor explained was not a single but was meant to show fans a different side to her music. ‘The Archer’ did not receive a music video but Taylor decided to release a lyric video for the track.
The album ‘Lover’ will feature 18 songs and Taylor – who is dating British actor Joe Alwyn – recently revealed that it “a love letter to love”.
She told US Vogue: “I was compiling ideas for a very long time. When I started writing, I couldn’t stop.
“There are so many ways in which this album feels like a new beginning. This album is really a love letter to love, in all of its maddening, passionate, exciting, enchanting, horrific, tragic, wonderful glory.”
The single ‘Lover’ has been co-produced by Jack Antonoff and Taylor recently revealed some of the lyrics of the song.
These include, “My heart’s been borrowed and yours has been blue. All’s well that ends well to end up with you.”
And she revealed that the song is particularly special to her, explaining: “This has one of my favourite bridges. I love a bridge, and I was really able to go to Bridge City.”

Kelly Rowland denies Destiny’s Child world tour rumours

OHMYGOSSIP — Kelly Rowland has rubbished rumours Destiny’s Child are set for a huge world tour.
A source had claimed Kelly and her bandmates Beyonce and Michelle Williams were plotting a major run of shows in 2020 to mark their 20th anniversary – with there also talk of new music on the horizon.
However, Kelly has poured cold water on the speculation.
She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “That was news to me, just as much as it was to you!
“I was like, ‘Oh! My god, a tour is happening! Someone call me.'”
The 38-year-old singer insisted that they are each focused on their own separate projects and that if they did go on the road, they’d keep it a “surprise” for their fans.
She added: “Everybody’s supportive of each other’s personal ventures right now.
“If it were to happen, I would want it to be a surprise. “I feel like we know so much now.”
The ‘Survivor’ hitmakers – who split up in 2006 – reunited for two special greatest hits medley sets during Beyonce’s Coachella headline slots at the Indio festival in April 2018.
Each member has had a successful solo career, with Beyonce, 37, having put out six solo albums and recently voicing Nala in Disney’s ‘The Lion King’ remake, as well as releasing the soundtrack LP ‘The Lion King: The Gift’.
Whilst Michelle, 39, and Kelly, 38, have respectively released four studio albums.
Michelle previously said that Destiny’s Child’s reunion at Coachella was “a blessing”.
She shared: “Let’s call it a blessing. Beyoncé and Kelly – they’ve been in the game for, what, 23 years? Me just 18 years. And when people see us together they still lose their minds! People are asking, ‘When y’all gonna tour? When y’all gonna put out new music?’ It’s been 14 years since we’ve had an album together, and people are still asking.”

Liam Payne teams up with Ed Sheeran for comeback single

OHMYGOSSIP — Liam Payne has recruited Ed Sheeran for comeback single ‘Stack It Up’.
The One Direction star’s hit debut solo single ‘Strip That Down’ was co-written by the ‘Perfect’ hitmaker and producer Steve Mac, and the award-winning pair have been back in the studio working on the upcoming single, which is reportedly due to be released later this month.
A source told the Daily Star Online: “Liam and Ed have teamed up again on his new song after the success of ‘Strip That Down’, it’s called ‘Stack It Up’.
“Like with his debut single, the song is produced by Steve Mac.
“The video was shot in June and fans will be able to hear it by the end of August.”
Just like his first single, which featured Migos star Quavo, ‘Stack It Up’ sees Liam joined by another US rapper, this time A Boogie wit da Hoodie.
The new single will follow last year’s EP ‘First Time’, and Liam is also expected to announce a tour this year, with his debut solo album also in the pipeline.
The news of the 25-year-old star’s new tune comes after it was revealed that his bandmates Harry Styles and Niall Horan look set to have a chart battle on their hands.
Both stars are both said to be releasing new solo music at the same time, with Niall having just announced he’s dropping new single ‘Nice To Meet Ya’ in September.
According to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column, his bandmate Harry – who recently filmed a music video for his as-yet-untitled track – is said to be dropping his first music since his 2017 self-titled debut album around then, too.
‘Slow Hands’ hitmaker Niall made his single announcement at the Capitol Congress 2019 at his label Capitol Records, where he performed ‘Nice To Meet Ya’, which Billboard reported as sounding “trippy” with “90s/’00s rock vibes and a bit of soul and dance”.
The 25-year-old singer also has another treat in store for fans, with another ballad called ‘Put A Little Love On Me’, which has been produced by Adele and Liam Gallagher producer Greg Kurstin, also shared at the industry showcase.
As for Harry, it was recently reported that he tried to keep his music video shoot a secret by making out it was a mayonnaise advert.
The ‘Kiwi’ hitmaker’s team tried to keep the major filming for the promo under wraps, but the sheer capacity of Harry’s crew and security and the fact he was spotted by Mexican fans in Lombardo Toledano in Cancun, Mexico, as they filmed scenes at 20 buildings, including a yellow property, gave it away.
A source said: “The area was swarming with people.
“People in the neighbourhood knew filming couldn’t just be for a mayo advert, as there would never be so much security or such a large crew.
“His team had bought hundreds of bouquets of violet and purple flowers for the video. Harry spent most of time filming inside a yellow house.”

Noel Gallagher labels Eminem ‘boring’ for writing songs about rehab

OHMYGOSSIP — Noel Gallagher has labelled Eminem “boring” for writing about drugs and rehab.
The former Oasis star was asked if he still thinks the ‘Lose Yourself’ rapper is an “idiot” after he called him and his fellow hip-hop star 50 Cent just that in 2005.
In an interview with Ireland’s Sunday Independent newspaper, Noel said: “Er, he is one of those guys that goes into rehab and then they sing about it for the next 20 years.
‘You did a bit of f**king coke. You had a drink. Haven’t we all’. [Claps hands]
“I have never felt the need to be one of those f***ing people. It’s boring.
“But writing songs about drugs is as boring as writing songs about coming out the other side of drugs.”
Despite shading the 46-year-old star – who has been sober for more than a decade – for penning tunes about drugs, Noel instead Oasis’ debut single ‘Supersonic’, which was written whilst he was high on cocaine, is “f***ing amazing”.
Asked if he has ever made a song whilst on drugs that has turned out to be utter “gibberish”, the 52-year-old Mancunian replied: “Yeah. But I’ve written songs on coke and it’s been complete gibberish and it has been f****ing amazing.
“‘Supersonic’ [from 1994’s ‘Definitely Maybe’ album], for instance.
“Do you know what I mean? Then I’ve written s*** like a lot of ‘Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants’ [the forgettable 2000 album] where I had nothing to say.
“And I was literally trying to make the words rhyme because we had a tour booked and we had to go on tour. But that’s part of it.”
The outspoken rocker – who is planning to move away from London because of the rise in crime on the streets -previously said that he despises hip-hop for encouraging dangerously high levels of violence in British youths, and accused the genre of being partly to blame for society’s growing problems with crime.
The ‘Wonderful’ hitmaker said: “I despise hip-hop. Loathe it. Eminem is an idiot and I find 50 Cent the most distasteful character I have ever crossed in my life.
It’s so negative.
“I’m not saying they are directly responsible, but that’s how you end up with these gangs of youths stabbing people. Kids are so thick these days. “They’re easily influenced.”

Billie Eilish ‘to tour arenas in 2020’

OHMYGOSSIP — Billie Eilish is reportedly set to tour arenas in 2020.
Since the 17-year-old pop phenomenon released her debut album ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?’ in March, her career has skyrocketed and major festivals, including the UK’s Glastonbury and Reading and Leeds, have had to move her to bigger stages because of the demand for the ‘Bad Guy’ hitmaker.
And now it has been reported that the US sensation is set to hit the road for her biggest shows to date in the UK and Europe next year.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “It’s rare a new artist can play such big shows early on in their career.
“Even Dua Lipa hasn’t headlined arenas in the UK. “But Billie’s proved she is massively popular and promoters are confident the tickets will fly.
“It’s looking like the tour will come here next year, she’s really excited.”
Commenting on moving Billie from the BBC Radio 1 Stage to the Main Stage on Saturday (24.08.19) in Reading and Sunday (25.08.19) in Leeds, Festival Republic’s Managing Director, Melvin Benn, commented: “Following the meteoric rise of Billie Eilish since we first booked her on the line-up, we are thrilled to be moving her to the Main Stage to allow as many fans as possible to see what we are sure is going to be one of the highlights of the weekend.”
Billie has won the support of pop royalty, including her idol Justin Bieber, Sir Elton John and Spice Girl Mel C.
Elton recently gushed: “Her album was amazing.
“She’s come a long way very quickly. She’s an incredible word-of-mouth artist.
“I can’t wait to see her live because she has something very special going on.
“Talent like hers doesn’t come along very often.”
And, Mel – who attended the star’s show in London earlier this year – said: “I’m a huge fan of Billie. I think she’s incredible. I was lucky enough to see her perform here at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, which is a relatively small venue for someone with such a following. Her music is just off the scales. Her voice is beautiful. I love that she doesn’t give a f**k.
“It was sold out, absolutely packed. There were so many girls in there – it was predominantly a female audience – and they sang every word, sang every ad-lib. You could barely hear Billie, because they were just doing the whole show. And it was so exciting to see a room full of girls going crazy for another girl. Historically, we always think of boy bands and male artists as having all these teenage girls going crazy for them. And I think to see that for another woman was really exciting. She’s definitely tapping into something that young women are feeling.”

She wrote: “i’m kinda a chart flop recently but honestly lol if u think I care … honestly, I’m f***ing iconic. (sic)”
The prolific star has released collaborations with Christine and the Queens (‘Gone’), Lizzo (‘Blame It On Your Love’), and BTS (‘Dream Glow’) this year, and she looks set to be working on a song with The 1975.
The ‘Love Me’ group’s frontman Matty Healy revealed to fans over the weekend that he had sent a “beat” to the ‘Boom Clap’ singer and shared that it’s a “monster tune”.

The long awaited follow-up to 2014’s ‘Sucker’ LP – which features some exciting collaborations – is released on September 13, and will be followed by a world tour.

Sheryl Crow’s surreal tour

OHMYGOSSIP — Sheryl Crow had a “surreal experience” on tour with Michael Jackson.
The ‘If It Makes You Happy’ hitmaker was a backing singer on the late star’s ‘Bad’ concert series between 1987 and 1989 and it was a star-studded stint she’ll never forget.
She said: “That tour was a surreal experience.
“I had only been in LA for six months and then the next thing I knew I was opening on a world tour in front of 75,000 people in Yokohama Stadium in Japan.
“When we started the European leg, we opened in Rome and Elizabeth Taylor was there with Sophia Loren and Liza Minnelli.
“These were his friends and I’m a country bumpkin who had only seen these people on TV. Every single thing about that tour for me was new, from getting a passport and leaving my own country to travelling all over the world and staying in first-class hotels.”
But one of the oddest aspects about the tour for Sheryl was the presence of Michael’s pet chimp Bubbles.
She added to Q magazine: “I don’t really know what Bubbles; travel arrangements were, he would just show up at certain places.
“He eventually got sent home because he was at a point where he was too big to be safe.
“I mean, a chimpanzee can hurl a piano across the room. They’re strong.
“Michael used to get a ballpoint pen and poke him in the chest to get him to settle down. The whole thing was crazy but an amazing experience.”
The 57-year-old singer particularly enjoyed a private trip to Disneyland while on the tour.
She said: “One of my fondest memories was Michael renting out Disneyland.
“We went after the park was closed at 10 at night and rode all the rides until four in the morning.
“That was pretty crazy, that’s living the rock star life.”

The Spice Girls ‘are making new music’

OHMYGOSSIP — The Spice Girls are reportedly working on new music.
The iconic girl group – which features Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton and Geri Horner – recently reunited for a series of comeback concerts, and they’ve now apparently turned their sights towards making new material.
A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper’s Watts the Goss column: “They have been working in London to gather their thoughts and start recording new material. It’s very exciting and in the early stages but it’s happening.”
Victoria Beckham missed the group’s comeback tour, but it’s hoped that she’ll reunite with the band in the recording studio.
The insider explained: “They’ve also been in contact with Victoria to see if she can be involved.”
Last month, Victoria claimed it took “courage” to reject the opportunity to reunite with the Spice Girls.
The singer-turned-designer was offered the opportunity to join the band’s much-hyped reunion tour, but she declined the invite, instead opting to focus her attention on her family and her fashion business.
She said: “It took me a lot of courage not to go on tour with the Spice Girls again, but to be the one who says, ‘You know, I’m not doing it because things feel different now than they used to.’
“I’d rather concentrate on my family and my company.
“I’m 45 now and very happy to be the woman I am … I’m not trying to change, I want to be the best version of myself. Before I turned 40, I wasn’t that confident. I learned to listen to my gut feeling.”

Mabel inspired by Harry Styles

OHMYGOSSIP — Mabel has “learned a lot” from Harry Styles.
The 23-year-old singer previously supported the One Direction star on tour and thinks his positive outlook is something to emulate.
She said: “He brought the same kind, beautiful energy to every person I saw him meet. I didn’t see him have an off day.
“Sometimes, when I’m feeling anxious or low, I have a tendency to be like, ‘Not today’. But I learned a lot on that tour, that we’re so lucky.
“He just has that positivity – it oozes out of him. He’s a rock star, he’s Mick Jagger.”
And Stormzy has been another mentor for the ‘Don’t Call Me Up’ hitmaker.
She told Grazia magazine: “He knew who I was before ‘Finders Keepers’. He’s always been so kind and supportive, he’d be like, ‘You’re doing your thing’. ”
The ‘Fine Line’ singer thinks it is “vital” to have female collaborators and finds it frustrating when women are pitted against one another.
She said: “It’s all about supporting each other and encouraging other women to be producers and engineers.
“It’s a crazy concept that, as females, we’re pitted against each other, like Rihanna or Beyonce, Cardi B or Nicki Minaj. But why would we compete? We’re all different. We’re all in different lanes. We need to stand together.”
Mabel – who is the daughter of singer Neneh Cherry and producer Cameron McVey – was just five years old when she wrote her first song.
She said: “I wrote this love song to a boy in my class. I hadn’t figured out how to play chords yet.”

Ariana Grande thanks record label via Twitter

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana Grande has thanked her record label for showing faith in her.
The 26-year-old singer – who is one of the world’s best-selling pop stars – has taken to Twitter to thank Republic Records, hailing the company for supporting her since she signed with the label eight years ago.
She wrote on the micro-blogging platform: “signed to
@republicrecords
eight years ago today and released my debut album six years ago … [stars emoji] thankful for my republic family and deeply proud of every project we’ve released together. music is the most special thing in the world. thank u for believing in me and my voice. (sic)”
And Republic wasted little time in replying to Ariana’s original message.
The company tweeted: “So honored to be family! We couldn’t be more proud of your growth & dedication. All the love in the worldddddd [love heart emojis] (sic)”
Meanwhile, Ariana recently claimed she “didn’t know” Pete Davidson.
The ‘No Tears Left To Cry’ hitmaker embarked on a whirlwind relationship and engagement with the ‘Saturday Night Live’ comic – who she split from in October after five months together – last year but she’s admitted their romance was “highly unrealistic” and simply an “amazing distraction”.
She said: “My friends were like, ‘Come! We’re gonna have a fun summer [in New York.]’ And then I met Pete, and it was an amazing distraction. It was frivolous and fun and insane and highly unrealistic, and I loved him, and I didn’t know him.
“I’m like an infant when it comes to real life and this old soul, been-around-the-block-a-million-times artist. I still don’t trust myself with the life stuff.”

Lewis Capaldi wants Meat Loaf for biopic

OHMYGOSSIP — Lewis Capaldi wants Meat Loaf to play him in a movie of his life.
The ‘Someone You Loved’ hitmaker insists the ‘Bat out of Hell’ rocker – who, at 71, is 49 years older than him – would be the perfect person to portray him in a biopic and doesn’t want any special effects or prosthetics to be used to alter the veteran star’s appearance.
Asked who would play him in a film, he said: “Meat Loaf. But I want him to play me as he is now, from my childhood right through to the present.
“No prostheses, no CGI, I want him to look like Meat Loaf. I think he’s a handsome man.”
If the movie about Lewis was ever to be made, there wouldn’t be many scenes about his relationships because the Scottish star is very much single.
Discussing his relationship status, he told Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine: “Single as f**k. Definitely. I’m just a singular man, falling through the air, hurtling ever closer to his inevitable demise.”
But the singer’s first kiss could feature heavily.
Asked to describe his first smooch in three words, he said: “Nervous. Long. Embarrassing. Long beause, in the run up to it, I kept saying to the girl, ‘I don’t want to kiss you because I think tomorrow you’ll regret it.’
“And there was an audience, all my pals were there because it was at a party.”
The ‘Hold Me While You Wait’ singer is known for his funny comments and social media posts but laughed off the rumour he has hired a writer to craft his jokes.
He said: “[The craziest rumour I’ve heard about myself] is that I hired a comedy writer to come up with jokes for my social media, which is obviously a load of f***ing nonsense because my jokes are mainly about pubes and s***ting.”

Halsey’s new album

OHMYGOSSIP — Halsey can only write about herself.
Although the 24-year-old singer had planned to write more about the world around her on her new album, she admitted that it didn’t work and she is more comfortable writing about the world through the lens of her own experiences.
Halsey explained: “I sat down to write this album and I was like, ‘Alright, time to stop talking about yourself and start looking at the world around you!’ And then I got two songs in and I was like, ‘Uh, I only know how to talk about myself.’ Because I don’t know anything as well as I know me, so I can’t write anything as true to f**king Halsey than when I’m writing about myself.”
The star also called new single ‘Nightmare’ an “angry anthem”, explaining: “Female rage is a very tight subject for me right now.”
And she revealed that she has finally stopped seeing other women as competition.
Halsey told author Lizzie Goodman at the Capitol Congress conference in Hollywood: “I spent my whole life being the person who’s like ‘I f**king hate girls, I only want to hang out with boys; girls are so annoying’.
“And now I’m in my 20s and I’m like ‘I love women! They’re awesome!’ Women are so tight, I’m surrounded by amazing women and I love how strong and beautiful and incredible they all are in their own ways. It’s cool to be in my 20s and to have like grown out of that internalised misogyny. I’ve grown comfortable in my own space and in my own skin, so it eliminates that factor of competition for sure.”
