OHMYGOSSIP — Mahalia’s album looks set to feature a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar.
The rising R&B star is working on her first record and the hip-hop superstar – who has released songs with Taylor Swift, Beyonce and SZA to name a few – has approved of a track her team sent over to him to see if he’d be up for collaborating on it with the BRITs Critics’ Choice Award nominee.
Mahalia told the Daily Star newspaper: “I’m working on my debut album which is amazing.
“My publisher sent a song of mine to Kendrick, which is supposed to be a secret but it’s not any more!
“He really liked it, well that’s what he said, which is incredible.”
The ‘Do Not Disturb’ singer has also been communicating with ‘Young Dumb & Broke’ hitmaker Khalid, who also turns out to be a huge fan of her music.
She said: “He texted me recently saying: ‘I am blasting your song ‘No Reply’.”
The 21-year-old star also spoke about how important it is for artists to remain authentic and heaped praise on Adele for being “unapologetically herself”.
She said: “I think Adele is so special, and so loved, because she is just unapologetically herself, and that s honestly what I am trying to convey.
“I am trying to be me as much as possible.
“If you are just being yourself, people will see that and they all gravitate towards that.”
Meanwhile, Mahalia was moved to tears by the love she felt from her fans as she performed at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London on Wednesday night (10.04.19).
The singer took to the stage at the iconic venue for the second show on her ‘Do Not Disturb Tour’ and it was an emotional evening for her as she performed for the sold-out audience, which included members of her family and friends.
After finishing her set, Mahalia took to Twitter to thank her fans for coming out to her London concert and for coming along to her opening gig in Manchester on Tuesday (09.04.19) and making them two of the most special nights of her life.
She tweeted: “My voice is outta here gaaaan w the wind right now but Manc & Ldn !!!!! You made me cry 2 of the most beautiful nights. I will never forget you. Thank u so much !!! I’m currently on tour w the best boys ever … This is only the beginning my friends (sic)”
Mahalia is currently in Europe for more dates on her ‘Do Not Disturb Tour’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Damon Albarn turned down offers to reunite with Blur to mark the 25th anniversary of their seminal LP ‘Parklife’ because of Brexit.
The iconic Britpop group’s 1994 album, which turns 25 on April 25, was released in a time coined ‘Cool Britannia’ when there was a sense of optimism in the UK, following the tumultuous 70s’ and 80s’, and the band’s frontman says it wouldn’t be right to celebrate the record in the current uncertain times the country is facing, with the pending exit from the European Union under the helm of Prime Minister Theresa May.
Asked if the band had been asked to play shows for the milestone year of ‘Parklife’ – which, along with rival band Oasis’ ‘Definitely Maybe’, was one of the most defining records of the Britpop era – Damon told the Metro newspaper: “Yes, they have been. I’d only want to perform that if it was a positive thing. Say we got to the point of having a second referendum, then I would be happy to play that record as a celebration and as a way of reminding ourselves of a time when we had an idea of Britishness that wasn’t political.
“It was more about our music and culture. That was a bit naive, no question, but it had a funny side, it had a humour to it, and was satirical in some parts.
“So I’m not against performing that album, but I wouldn’t want to do it if I felt like it was just about money.”
The Gorillaz and The Good, the Bad & The Queen star quipped that it would take a second referendum for the band to play songs from ‘Parklife’.
He said: “[Laughs] Well, if you want to be that crude about it.”
The 51-year-old rocker recently reunited with his Blur bandmates Dave Rowntree, Alex James and Graham Coxon – at his Africa Express show in his hometown of Leytonstone recently, for their first show in four years, where they played ‘Tender’, ‘Clover Over Dover’ and ‘Song 2′.
Meanwhile, Damon previously admitted he wishes he’d got political with his music before Brexit.
He explained: “If I’d had any idea that we were going to act as a people in the way that we have – prior and post – I would definitely have come back a lot earlier, if you know what I mean.
“As a person who loves their country, I would have expressed a very strong opinion. In public.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Bunton says the Spice Girls were asked to perform at Glastonbury this year.
The 43-year-old singer is set to perform with Geri Horner, Mel B and Mel C for their upcoming reunion shows – without Victoria Beckham, who has opted out of the tour – and says that while the group received an offer to play the world renowned festival in Somerset this summer, they have not committed because they want to see how their own dates go first.
Speaking on ‘The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show’ on BBC Radio 2 on Friday (12.04.19), she said: “That would be so much fun! We have been asked. “Do you know what, we are going to do this tour first and then see how that goes.”
The blonde beauty – who is also known as Baby Spice in the group – also said she has fond memories of the ‘The Return of the Spice Girls Tour’ – which kicked off in 2007 and marked the group’s first tour since 1999 – and especially remembers when the group performed at The O2 on her birthday.
She said: “I did love obviously the last tour when we did The O2 it was my birthday and I had all my friends there, it was just like a bit of a party. It was great!”
However, she also added that her least favourite concert was performing in Las Vegas, when she was all geared up and ready to party but fell over and cracked her ankle.
She said: “My least favourite was Vegas, I was ready to party, I fell over on the last night and cracked a bone in my ankle.”
And while the ‘Wannabe’ hitmaker is super excited about her band’s upcoming tour, she revealed she is also a little nervous as her and the girls start dance rehearsals on Monday (15.04.19) and have left things a “a bit late”.
She said: “I’m a bit nervous, I think we’ve left it a bit late because we start end of May and I’ve got to learn all of these dance routines!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Oasis’ former record label boss Tim Abbot says warring brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher could instantly “switch on” a “tornado of madness”.
The former managing director of Creation Records – which was co-founded by Alan McGee – spent much of the 90s on tour with the iconic Britpop group, and has revealed how the band’s former frontman and guitarist would go from getting along fine one minute to being at one another’s throats the next and back to “normal” in a short space of time.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk, Tim recalled: “They were just normal people – milk and two sugars please – and then all of a sudden they could just switch on this tornado of madness and then just switch it off.
“As I always say, it was organised chaos.”
The ‘Oasis. Definitely’ author said the general running of the ‘Some Might Say’ group was like a “military operation” and described their brawls as “calculated, organised chaos”.
He also revealed how the whole team would often be up all night and day “for days” amidst the madness.
He said: “Underneath, we ran like a proper military operation. It was calculated, organised chaos.
“Sometimes they wouldn’t go to sleep and that went for everybody.
“Sometimes we wouldn’t sleep for a couple of days. How we did it is pure imagination – better touring through chemistry.”
Liam, 46, and Noel, 51, came to major blows after a backstage bust-up at their concert in Paris in 2009, which saw Liam throw a guitar around his sibling’s head, and led to the demise of the group as Noel quit immediately after the fight.
Tim doesn’t believe it was that one incident that caused the split, and claimed there is still a great amount of “love” between the pair to this day, despite the “tension” which has always been there.
He said: “They’re two very nice blokes at war with each other. There was tension all along, even from the early days.
“What people don’t see is there was still massive love there – they’re still in love with each other really.
“I personally think it was a gig too far.”
Tim also thinks Noel – who went solo a year later – may have had other “ambitions” and no reason to stay in Oasis and suggested it all got too much for him.
He continued: “They’d been out on tour for two years, it just broke. I don’t think there was one thing. Noel couldn’t take it anymore and why should he?
“If you’ve got a family and that amount of money, probably got ambitions of your own…”
The writer said that Liam can be a stubborn “wind-up” merchant.
He added: “To this day, Liam is the king of the wind-up. You cannot go head-to-head with him, he will eventually wear you out.”
Tim is still hopeful that the brothers – who still trade insults to this day and are now the biggest rivals after Liam made a comeback as a solo artist, with his platinum-selling debut LP ‘As You Were’ released in 2017 – will put their differences aside to reunite one day, as he admitted he doesn’t think there will be another rock ‘n’ roll group like them.
He said: “You’ll never grow a band like that again organically or through word of mouth.
“I don’t think there’ll ever be a herd effect or consensus in our country that this is ‘our band’. They’re iconic.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Primal Scream have announced some intimate live dates in London and Brighton.
The indie rock group – fronted by Bobby Gillespie – will be performing at Brighton’s Haunt on May 20 and Scala in the UK capital on May 21 with tickets going on sale at 10am on April 18.
The band are warming up their festival appearances as they have with slots booked at London’s All Points East Festival, Neighbourhood Weekender in Warrington and Latitude Festival.
The ‘Country Girl’ hitmakers will also headline Edinburgh Summer Sessions in August.
Last October, Primal Scream released ‘Give Out But Don’t Give Up: The Original Memphis Recordings’, a different version of their 1994 LP ‘Give Out But Don’t Give Up’.
Guitarist Andrew Innes believes that version is “the perfect album” but they decided to scrap it but “panicked” after coming to the conclusion that it was “so well played” it didn’t sound like a Primal Scream album.
The 56-year-old musician previously said: “I don’t know what we were thinking. It was so slick, so nice, so well played that we panicked. It sounded too grown-up.”
Singer Gillespie added: “We made a perfect album: three rockers, six ballads and a centrepiece. Then we replaced it with something patchy. We confused ourselves.”
Andrew found the long-forgotten tapes marked “Ardent Studios” whilst he was clearing out his basement and remembered the group had recorded with renowned producer Tom Dowd – who had worked with the likes of Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin – in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and Ardent Studios, Memphis.
Innes said: “We were in a state. ‘Screamadelica’ left us in a weird place. Everything we dreamt of since the age of 16 had come true. What do you do after that? We had a blank future.
“We had been on a huge high, living the rock ‘n’ roll dream, and then, boom, it ends. Noel Gallagher wrote three albums’ worth of songs before Oasis broke. We had nothing.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lisa Stansfield has claimed she is groped at meet and greets with fans “all the time”.
The 52-year-old singer often experiences inappropriate sexual behavior from fans when she is at organized events, and the songstress revealed that she has had to tell individuals to “get their hands off” her body when she is posing for photos with them.
Appearing as a guest on Yahoo’s ‘White Wine Question Time’ podcast, she said: “Try having your picture taken at a meet and greet when someone tries to feel your t*ts all the time. No, it happens all the time. I actually say, ‘Could you get your hands off my t*t?'”
The ‘Been Around The World’ hitmaker also explained that she thinks men are treated very differently to women in the record industry and experienced sexism first hand when she was in a meeting with two promoters.
She added: “I was with these two promoters and they were doing this San Remo festival in Italy … I didn’t want to do [a duet they were suggesting]. I thought it was really naff to do this song with this Italian star, and I said, ‘No, I really don’t want to do it.’ What they didn’t know was that I spoke Italian. So over dinner they start slagging me off – you’ve never heard the end of it – ‘she’s crap anyway’, ‘stupid English woman’. After all this I just said, ‘Excuse me gentlemen, but if you want to talk about me, please do it in my own language!’ ”
Podcast host Kate Thornton then asked: “Would they have done that if the artist had been male?”
Stansfield replied: “No, they probably wouldn’t have.”
The British musician supports the #MeToo movement, however, she insisted that it can be “extreme” in some cases because sometimes human nature can be “flirtatious”.
She mused: “I do hope that it gets back to the middle ground, where it’s not so extreme that you can go into your own workplace and you can be flirtatious with each other and not be taken to court. That’s a part of human nature that men and women, women and women, whatever your sexuality, you flirt with each other and it’s completely harmless and it doesn’t really mean it crosses a line … You can tell where it is.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Chemical Brothers thinks there’s nowhere more “exciting” to play than Glastonbury.
The ‘Galvanize’ hitmakers – comprising Ed Simons and Tom Rowlands – had a “religious experience” when they saw Orbital perform at the festival in 1994, and after bring booked for their 12th appearance this summer, the duo enjoy the gig just as much as they did the first time.
Ed said:” We both had a religious experience [seeing Orbital]. I still get tingly when I think about it. We wanted to do that.
“It’s still to be the most exciting concert you can play.”
The pair broke records in 2000 by performing in front of what was believed to be the largest crowd in the festival’s history but can barely remember the show, so try now to take in the moments much more.
Tom told Q magazine: “Early on you think everything’s going to last forever, whereas now you think, realistically, how many more times are we going to get to do this amazing thing? You become more aware of it.”
The Chemical Brothers headlined the Other Stage in 2015 but Tom was joined by video designer Adam Smith as Ed was taking time off from touring to write his dissertation for his master’s degree.
And for both Tom and Ed – who watched the set on TV – it was a very surreal experience.
Ed said:” I thought, ‘Yeah, it’s hard that it’s happening without me.’ So I came back.”
Tom added: “It was a really strange experience. I kept looking over and thinking, ‘Where’s Ed?’ ”
Ed also got the chance to be in the crowd for a Chemical Brothers show in France.
He recalled: “I saw my band play in Paris. It was interesting. You imagine that people are rapt, taking it all in nut actually they’re all like, ‘Are you going to get a drink? Where’s Pierre gone?’ ”

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift has hinted that her seventh album will be released on April 26.
The 29-year-old star updated her official website to add a countdown clock with an end date of April 26, while she has changed her Twitter and Instagram bios to read “4.26”.
Taylor released her sixth album, ‘Reputation’, in November 2017.
Back in February, she sparked speculation she was set to announce details of her seventh album after she posted a series of cryptic images on her social media profiles alluding to the number seven.
These included a picture of her sitting on the seventh step of a spiral staircase and a graphic of seven palm trees with a starry blue sky.
The pop superstar simply captioned the tree artwork with seven palm tree emojis, and added a pink heart to her stair picture, which also featured a piano on display.
In November, Taylor signed a global recording agreement with Universal Music Group.
The multi-year agreement sees UMG act as the exclusive worldwide recorded music partner for Swift, whilst UMG’s Republic Records will serve as her label partner in America.
Meanwhile, Taylor recently admitted her music is heavily influenced by “nostalgia” and she loves the “challenge” of mixing personal moments with catchy pop tracks.
She continued: “I love writing songs because I love preserving memories, like putting a picture frame around a feeling you once had.
“I like to use nostalgia as inspiration when I’m writing songs for the same reason I like to take photographs. I like to be able to remember the extremely good and extremely bad times…
“The fun challenge of writing a pop song is squeezing those evocative details into the catchiest melodic cadence you can possibly think of. I thrive on the challenge of sprinkling personal mementos and shreds of reality into a genre of music that is universally known for being, well, universal.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Bobby Gillespie believes rock ‘n’ roll is “dead”.
The Primal Scream frontman – who has sons Wolf, 17, and Lux, 14, with wife Katy England – insists there are no “interesting characters” and he can understand why young people are more interested in grime magazine because it is much “sexier”.
He told Q magazine: “[Rock ‘n’ roll] is dead. There’s no counterculture any more, nobody flash any more.
“There’s loads of records I like but there’s no interesting characters, no Johnny Thunders, the music’s a retread. It’s s***e.
“I’d much rather go to a talk by left-wing writers and philosophers than see bands.
“My kid said a few years ago, Christmas, granny was in the kitchen, ‘Gimme Shelter’ was on, she was singing along. He laughed and goes, ‘Dad, you can’t expect me to like the music my granny likes’ and I went, ‘Totally’.
“My kids like grime, drill, that’s where the edge is now, it’s sexier, more violent, more glamorous.”
But the 56-year-old singer insisted that doesn’t mean he is fading into history.
He said: “It’s my culture. So I’m allowed to do it.
“We’re in an art gallery and there was expressionism, surrealism, all the movements and they had their time. And rock ‘n’ roll’s had it’s time. Rock’s just f***ing music for your granny.”
And the ‘Rocks’ hitmaker will always be proud of his band and their work.
He said: “My band are from another century. It’s bonkers but it’s OK. We’re rockers and proud of it. We gave our lives to rock ‘n’ roll…
“Not many people can say they’ve made one strong album. Good singles, yeah, but a classic album? We’ve made four.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jessie Ware used to work with E.L. James.
The 34-year-old singer revealed that she worked alongside the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ author at a production company before her singing career kicked off – although she never got to read the hit erotic romance novel before anyone else, as the author hadn’t yet penned the best-selling erotic tome – which inspired the blockbuster movie franchise starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan as Anastasia Steele and the titular Christian Grey.
Speaking on Jay Rayner’s ‘Out To Lunch’ podcast, Jessie disclosed: “I then got a job at Love Productions who do ‘The Great British Bake Off’.”
Jay then asked: “You were there with E.L James?”
To which Jessie responded: “Yeah …She was just starting to write.”
The host then enquired: “Was she sharing pages?”
Jessie revealed: “Yes across the desk but I don’t think I saw ‘Fifty Shades’. I think I saw something else. She hadn’t written ‘Fifty Shades’.”
The ‘Say You Love Me’ hitmaker met up with the novelist “years later”, and the pair reminisced on their time working together while also toasting to James being a “dirty cow” for writing such “filth”.
She said: “We met up for a drink years later to celebrate the fact that we didn’t work for Love Productions anymore – things definitely worked out brilliantly for E.L James – and lovely for me.
“So it was quite fabulous.
“I’d just done a TV show in America and just done ‘Conan’ and she was living in the Chateau Marmont while filming for ‘Fifty Shades’ … it was just fabulous and she was like ‘Let’s go for a drink’ and it was just so brilliant.
“We like cheersing going like, ‘Yeah, to doing this and being mad and to you being a dirty cow and writing filth and me and enjoying that.’
“Yeah it was really funny; it was a funny old night.”

The chart-topping rap star – who released her debut album, ‘Invasion of Privacy’, in 2018 – has revealed she is currently working on new material and is hopeful she’ll be able to release it before the end of 2019.
She told Variety: “I’m starting to prepare myself now because I’m really trying to put out an album for this year.”
However, Cardi is feeling under pressure to deliver something that compares favourably to her hugely popular debut effort.
She shared: “My last album, ‘Invasion of Privacy’, it just went three times platinum, so now it’s just like, ‘Aw snap. It’s big pressure on me.’ It’s like, ‘Aw snap, what the hell am I going to come up with?'”

The outspoken star – who has an eight-month-old daughter called Kulture with Migos rapper husband Offset – said she’s now got a burning ambition to become as rich as she can.

OHMYGOSSIP — Brian Johnson is reportedly set to tour again with AC/DC.
The 71-year-old rock star was forced to quit the band in 2016 after suffering hearing loss, but according to radio DJ Eddie Trunk, a source close to the group has told him that Brian will rejoin them to tour their upcoming album.

The well-known DJ explained that the band are planning to record a new record in tribute to songwriter Malcolm Young, who passed away in 2017.
He shared: “I think it’s pretty much a done deal that AC/DC at the very least are going to release some sort of record and it’ll be some sort of record and it’ll be some sort of tribute to Malcolm [Young] just like ‘Back In Black’ was a tribute to Bon [Scott].
“So I have no doubt about that and I’m pretty confident they’re probably going to do shows as well. But I think at this point it’s pretty much just when they announce it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Mabel has the title of her debut album tattooed on her body.
The 23-year-old singer is set to drop her first studio LP this year and although she is keeping the name of her record under wraps for now, she has already had a permanent tribute to the album inked onto her person.
And Mabel will unveil the body art once the LP is ready to drop.
Revealing she has a name for the album, she told the Daily Star’s Wired column: “I do. It’s actually tattooed on my body but it’s a secret for now. ”
The ‘Don’t Call Me Up’ hitmaker announced last year that wanted to permanently remember her debut album and was planning on branding the title onto her ribs.
She previously said: “It’s not just a collection of songs, it has to tell a story and it has to have a thread and it has to have different nuances.
“But when I figured out what that story was, the rest poured out. I am gassed off the name. I’m actually going to get it tattooed!”
The ‘Finders Keepers’ singer – whose parents are musician Neneh Cherry and Massive Attack record producer Cameron McVey – previously divulged that the forthcoming record is “a lot more up-tempo and fun” than she expected to be and she hopes her tracks can “make people dance and smile”.
She said: “It’s a lot more up-tempo and fun and playful than I thought it was gonna be. Coming from an R&B background, I was like, ‘I’m gonna make slow jams.’
“When I wrote ‘Finders Keepers,’ musically everything changed for me. I want to make people dance, I want to make people smile and I want my music to get played in clubs. I want those records that girls put on before they go out, when they’re just getting ready. And I feel like the album has that.”

Emma Bunton revealed that she and bandmates Geri Horner, Mel C and Mel B made the decision to change the line “any deal that we endeavour/boys and girls feel good together” into “once again if we endeavour/love will bring us back together” ahead of their upcoming reunion tour – which will not include original member Victoria Beckham – in a bid to make the song more inclusive.
In an interview with Gay Times, Emma said: “We changed the lyrics in a hotel. We were travelling and we were like, ‘Absolutely, it needs to be changed.’ We felt like it needed to be more inclusive.”
The ‘Wannabe’ hitmaker went on to thank her LGBTQ fans for their continued support and says it feels “more open” than ever before while performing.
She said: “You notice that support – it’s just incredible. Thank goodness we’re living at a time where everyone is supporting each other so much more now. I feel so thankful to them – when I write or when I perform, it feels on such a more open, different level. It’s so much more inclusive and special.”
The 90s girl group’s reunion tour was announced at the end of 2018 and will begin on 24 May 2019.
Mel B, 43, previously admitted that she’s “gutted” Victoria, 44, won’t be joining her and the other band members for the shows.
Scary Spice said: “I am sad she is not going to be there. But she is busy with what she is doing with her fashion line and her family. But I am gutted that she is not going to be with us. But I am still going to hold that candle and hope that she will.”
