| Beyoncé reveals new video detailing her weight loss journey ahead of Coachella - Fox News Posted: 24 Jul 2019 03:46 PM PDT Disney's 'The Lion King' roars into theatersNew in Theaters: The re-imagined musical journey is directed by Jon Favreau and features a star-studded cast including Beyonce, Donald Glover, Seth Rogan and James Earl Jones. Beyoncé is sharing the secrets to how she stays in shape Before her much-talked-about "Beychella" show in 2018, the singer and recent "Lion King" star went on a 44-day diet, consisting of organic, non-GMO, plant-based food. In a new video posted to YouTube on Wednesday, titled "22 Days Nutrition," Beyoncé gave fans an inside look at how she pulled off the strict diet. BEYONCE CREDITS FAITH FOR NEW 'LION KING' SONG: 'GOD IS THE ART DIRECTOR' The video promotes the "22 Days Nutrition" program, which was founded by Beyoncé's longtime friend and personal trainer, Marco Borges. In partnership with Borges, she plans to provide fans with information and recipes "that empower everyone to become their healthiest self through proper nutrition." Along with the diet information, the new video includes brief clips of Beyoncé practicing in rehearsals and working out in a gym, while also revealing her pre-Coachella weight, where she sat at 175 pounds. The footage was filmed months after the singer gave birth to twins, Sir and Rumi Carter. Beyonce previously opened up about her struggles with her postpartum weight. In her documentary and concert film for Netflix, "Homecoming," she revealed further details of her weight loss journey following giving birth. "I was 218 pounds the day I gave birth. I had to rebuild my body from cut muscles. What people don't see is the sacrifice," Beyonce explained in the film.  Singer Beyonce poses for photographers upon arrival at the 'Lion King' European premiere in central London, Sunday, July 14, 2019. (AP) She also discussed these struggles in a series of essays in Vogue last September, where she revealed her body was swollen from toxemia after delivering the babies via emergency cesarean section. The twins spent weeks in intensive care. WIFE OF WARRIORS OWNER GETS DEATH THREATS, DISABLES INSTAGRAM AFTER VIRAL BEYONCÉ MOMENT "To this day my arms, shoulders, breasts, and thighs are fuller.

| Beyoncé's Lion King album is more about Beyoncé than The Lion King - BBC News Posted: 19 Jul 2019 03:20 AM PDT
 Image copyright Dianey / Beyonce Following in the footsteps of Kendrick Lamar's Black Panther, Beyoncé has released a 14-track album to accompany Disney's remake of The Lion King. "This is sonic cinema," said the star, who plays Nala in the film, as she announced the record, called The Gift. Many of her collaborators are familiar - from Jay-Z and Pharrell to her Lion King co-star Childish Gambino. But the album also highlights artists and producers from Africa, who rarely get mainstream exposure in the West. Among them are Nigerian stars Wizkid and Tiwa Savage, South Africa's Moonchild Sanelly and Ghana's Shatta Wale; while the record features lyrics in Swahili, Yoruba and Afrikaans, amongst others. "I wanted to make sure we found the best talent from Africa, and not just use some of the sounds and did my interpretation of it," the star told ABC News ahead of the record's release. "I wanted it to be authentic to what is beautiful about the music in Africa." The Gift is a companion piece to the official Lion King soundtrack, featuring songs inspired by the story and its setting, rather than new interpretations of Circle of Life or Hakuna Matata. And the album is unmistakably a Beyoncé hangout: The star appears on all but four of the songs, and her lyrical preoccupations - motherhood, female empowerment, the general awesomeness of Beyoncé - get more prominence than The Lion King itself. Songs directly inspired by the film include the light-footed Find Your Way Back, in which Mufasa passes on fatherly advice to a young Simba; and Otherside, a quietly-turbulent ballad about the King's death, which features a brief callback to Beyonce's megahit Halo.  Media playback is unsupported on your device African chants and rhythms are woven into the fabric of the album, lending it a melodic warmth that was missing from the star's last project, Everything Is Love. Like that record, this is a family affair, with Beyoncé's husband Jay-Z referencing Nelson Mandela and Fela Kuti on the braggadocious Mood 4 Eva; and her 7-year-old daughter Blue Ivy getting her first writing credit on Brown Skin Girl. The latter song, with its message of black pride ("your skin is not only dark, it shines and it tells your story") bears the least thematic relevance to The Lion King, but the compelling vocal and syncopated clicks-and-sticks rhythm make it an undeniable highlight. Of the non-Beyoncé tracks, Tiwa Savage and Mr Eazi's Keys To The Kingdom is a laid-back, if inessential, ode to Simba's potential; while Tekno, Yemi Alade and Mr Eazi's Don't Jealous Me, delivered partly in Nigerian Pidgin English, puts a fun twist on Scar's preening superiority. "Sheep don't run with lion / Snake don't swing with monkey / I can't talk for too long / Got too much gold to try on." The final track is The Lion King's Oscar-baiting new ballad, Spirit, which premiered earlier this week with a lavish, spiritual video filmed at Arizona's Havasu Falls. A powerful Beyoncé solo number, it opens with a Swahili chant "Uishi kwa muda mrefu mfalme" (long live the king) - but quickly falls back on musical theatre cliché, right down to final chorus's forced key change. It feels out-of-step with the diaspora-hopping richness of the rest of the album; ultimately showing that Beyoncé is at her best when she's innovating.  |
| First Stream: New Music From Beyonce, Sam Smith, Hayley Kiyoko & More - Billboard Posted: 19 Jul 2019 07:38 AM PDT Feeling overwhelmed by the new songs, albums and videos being unveiled today? You're not alone. Billboard's First Stream serves as a handy guide to this Friday's most essential releases — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond. This week, Beyonce shakes up the idea of a Disney album, Sam Smith keeps things uptempo and Miranda Lambert assures you that everything will be just fine. Check out all of this week's First Stream picks below: The Album That Is Way More Than Your Standard Disney Soundtrack: Beyonce is not known for taking any half-measures in her professional life; whenever she has a vision for a project, she makes that vision as thoroughly spectacular as possible. When she was announced to be voicing Nala in Disney's live-action remake of The Lion King, little did we know that the voice-acting work was only one component to a sprawling idea: On the same day that the movie has been released, Queen Bey has bequeathed us with a massive, 27-track companion album that weaves in must-hear new music with snippets from the film. Fans will flock to The Lion King: The Gift for the A-listers involved -- "Mood 4 Eva," with Beyonce bringing in Jay-Z and Childish Gambino (who voices Simba in the movie) for a spiritual summit, is a major highlight -- but they will hopefully stay for the African artists, including Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage and Mr. Eazi, who receive a well-deserved spotlight on the track list. Listen on Amazon Music The Song That Gives a Pop Balladeer The Bass Drop He Deserves: "Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?" That's the opening question on the chorus of Sam Smith's new single, in which the superstar U.K. singer-songwriter further wrestles with the question of romantic betrayal. Yet unlike the slow tempos of his previous solo hits, "How Do You Sleep?" possesses the sleekness and dance-floor allure of his hit from his earlier this year, "Dancing With a Stranger" with Normani. Created with Max Martin, Ilya and Savan Kotecha, the song allows Smith to push the tempo and channel his hurt into a wobbly breakdown - a new pose for an established star, and one that succeeds. Listen on Amazon Music The Song You Can Play After You Screw Up And Want To Shrug It Off: "Having time off to write was great," Miranda Lambert recently told Billboard about releasing her first new single in three years. "I got to live some life for a little bit, which helps, but I'm definitely really excited to have new music to play on the road." Lambert has remained one of country music's most compelling songwriters for over a decade, and "It All Comes Out In The Wash" sounds less like one of her poignant confessionals and more like a wonderful sing-along for her upcoming shows. Lambert sounds downright giddy while recounting regrettable drunk-dials and dating stints, but washes those mistakes away with a kick-ass kicker: "You take the sin and the men and you throw 'em all in / And you put that sucker on spin." Listen on Amazon Music The Song In Which a Budding Pop Star Steps Into Her Sound: Make no mistake, Hayley Kiyoko is already an important artist: along with a top 20 album debut last year and a significant following that includes Taylor Swift, the 28-year-old has quickly become one of the most vocal queer women in mainstream music, and a fierce representative of the LGBTQ community. With that said, Kiyoko has only released one album, and is (naturally) still perfecting her sound. "I Wish," her first new single of 2019, is a step in that direction. With her romantic frustrations laid out cleanly, Kiyoko delivers a nuanced vocal take over a springy beat, pushing her career forward on her own terms. Listen on Amazon Music The Album That Old-School Rap Fans Need To Embrace: Houston rapper Maxo Kream has released a handful of critically acclaimed mixtapes over the past four years, including 2018's Punken. Brandon Banks feels bigger than them, and not just because the album represents Kream's major-label debut (he signed to RCA Records), or because the guest list is much more impressive (Travis Scott, ScHoolboy Q and Megan Thee Stallion all stop by). The album is by far Kream's most coherent as a storyteller, as snippets from his childhood, his thoughts on money, and meditations on his complicated relationship with his father all receive the widescreen treatment. Kream has long been a skilled rhymer, but Brandon Banks brings him to a new level as a hip-hop figure to fight for. Listen on Amazon Music The Song That Has Already Set Pop Twitter Ablaze: Charli XCX and Christine and the Queens are both European pop songwriting savants (from the U.K. and France, respectively) that have been teasing their collaboration for weeks as a sort of genre-saving moment of musical wizardry. In the end, the song exceeded the hype: "Gone" is an absolute indie-pop monster, a document of two artists that command melody in unique ways, singing about their insecurities while the production beneath them couldn't be more confident. The diehards have been thirsting for a banger from these two, but casual fans should be getting "Gone," too. Listen on Amazon Music The Song That Will Remind You How Much You Love That One Shaggy Song: This week, some of Latin music's biggest stars have joined forces to... interpolate Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me"? Indeed, Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, Karol G, J Balvin and Ozuna have used this meeting of the minds to revive one of the biggest hits of 2000, and fortunately, the ploy never quite devolves into a gimmick as Ozuna rides that familiar melody. Credit the charisma of the artists for pulling this one together: over the course of five minutes, all five get their chance to shine, with Karol G breaking up the boy's club in the back half of the song before J Balvin takes it home. "China" follows Daddy Yankee's "Con Calma," which resuscitated Snow's "Informer" earlier this year, and the heralding of the familiar once again works well. Listen on Amazon Music The Song That Will Be Your Turn-Up Anthem This Weekend: The questions that Lil Pump, French Montana and Quavo pose on "Pose To Do" are not exactly difficult. Quavo is surrounded by women but can't take them all home -- what is he supposed to do? In turn, Lil Pump ponders, "All these lambos in my driveways, what I'm supposed to do?" While this trio never receives the advice that they crave, they do combine for a lovably club anthem with legitimate staying power. "Pose To Do" was not created to be prodded and analyzed, but to soak in sweatily on the dance floor. Ultimately, it achieves that goal. Listen on Amazon Music  |
| Beyonce accused of stealing ideas for 'Spirit' video - CANOE Posted: 22 Jul 2019 11:05 AM PDT Beyonce has been accused of stealing the visuals from her Spirit and Bigger video from a film created by an African musician and his wife. A post on the Diet Prada Instagram account compares screenshots from an extended cut of the double-track video, directed by Jake Nava, to La Maison Noir: The Gift and the Curse, to a 17-minute film the artist Rharha Nembhard directed for her husband, South African musician Petite Noir. "Here's a side by side comparison of The Gift and The Curse", directed by artist @rharha_nembhard and released in May 2018," the caption reads. The Diet Prada clip comparing the two works shows that both feature dancers in similar, bright blue or orange clothing striking similar poses, Beyonce in a cowrie beaded face veil that resembles an outfit used in La Maison Noir: The Gift and the Curse, as well as scenes featuring her daughter Blue Ivy, seven, which resemble those featuring a child in the African visual artwork. Beyonce's new album accompanying her role as Nala in The Lion King also has a similar name, as it is called The Lion King: The Gift. Petite Noir's video, which has almost two million views on YouTube, revolves around a cosmogram of the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the singer's father was a politician before being forced into exile. It also references the four elements of fire, earth, water, and air and symbolizes rebirth, while depicting the formative stages of the musician's life, which were spent moving around before settling in South Africa. Beyonce is yet to publicly respond to the controversy. The Formation hitmaker isn't the first star to be accused of borrowing imagery from a lesser-known African artist, as Kendrick Lamar and SZA settled a lawsuit brought by British-Liberian artist Lina Iris Viktor over their music video for All the Stars, the theme track from the Marvel movie Black Panther. She claimed they had used her copyrightable stylized art motifs in her video.  |
