After Miley's new years eve party in 2021 was a great succes she continued with the well tried recipe. Lots of stars and awsome vocals. She also confirmed on 2022's last night new single titled as Flower.  

Click for listen! 

She was joined this time by country music and rock&roll legend Dolly Parton, with whom she also performed some songs. Like her hit Wrecking ball. 



And Dolly Parton wasn't the only one who joined Miley's new years party, Latto hit the stage and performed her hit. 


 
Sia also performed with Miley they did a cover of Paris Hilton's Stars are blind, and the heiress herself made a surprise performance.
   
I love Paris and how much she grew in the past decade, but i got to tell ya, Sia and Miley actually sang the song she just mimed. Cyrus also performed her hit single Midnight sky, she was joined by Fletcher with whom she blew up the stage.
   
The nights most iconic performance was Miley with Dolly singing Jolene.  
The NBC special was produced by SNL's own Lorne Michaels.


 Nelly Furtado just posted a bunch of photos of herself performing on new years eve in Australia with the caption: "Last night I played my first show in five years . Happy New Year ! The stage felt like  home". And in another one she stated: im back! This is def music to our ears, and in the comment section most fans texted their hoping for new music. 

 

 Yes, you read that right, she did not perfromed since 5 years but a lot have happened with her. Last night she was headliner of Beyond the Valley festival in Barunah Plains near Melbourne. 

According to several aussie sources Nelly's comeback was stunning, and worth the wait. 


She looked fabulous in a golden jumpsuit which fitted in the style of the festival. 


Last summer she already performed live, Nelly appeared on stage alongside with Drake. In 2021 collaborated with German duo Quarterhead on a remix of her song All Good Things which is a depp house gem since the early 2010's. And the last time she released a record was the 20th anniversary of her debut album Whoa Nelly in 2020, when she dropped expanded edition. 

In my opinion her last major single drop was Big hoops back in 2012. lets check this out for nostalgia! 


In the past weeks i discovered some pretty fresh music from Snoop Dogg. Or at least it was new for me, so i did some digging and found out that this wasn't new at all. Snoop released a new album in 2021, called the Algorithm. (I was really into work that i didn't found that out earlier....) He gathered  artists from across Def Jam's history and the main characters of the west coast rap revived Mount Westmore. 

Their first single was Big Subwoofer, which emerged on my spotify recommendations this November.  

 And it seems like, Snoop is working on something new this year, because he posted a pic of himself in the studio, with the caption: "23. here i come".  

Really curious about with might be coming this year from him, a biopic is in the works for sure. Director Allen Hughes is already confirmed for the Universal Pictures project as screenwriter, alongside with Joe Robert Cole, who has co-written the Black Panther Movies. 

Snoop said about the project earlier in 2022.: “I waited a long time to put this project together because I wanted to choose the right director, the perfect writer, and the greatest movie company I could partner with that could understand the legacy that I’m trying to portray on screen, and the memory I’m trying to leave behind,” 

Last year was huge for him, because he took back control on his record label Death Row (and released a new album titled as B.O.D.R. (Bacc on Death Row) ), and announced that he is into NFT's. 


 

Happy New Year everyone! Haven't been so active lately, but this has to change in 2023! As the newest year approaches my need to have new years resolutions awakens. :D 

So this year i am gonna post more about quality music, and cover news in a professional way. I had a long way from blogging about music in the early 2010's to being a professional journalist. But as you know my main job (Journalism) takes a lot of time from blogging, but i have to try and make more time to write for you. 

Music industry changed a lot in the past decade and so is the way of communication, so i must adapt the blog to it and change the look of it. And also making a blog or a site is much different now, we have more options, another techniques, so i have to learn a lot. But i hope, you will be with me on the way. 

I wish you - once again - a happy, healthy new year with a lot of joy and luck! 



 A chilly, catchy song was released this weekend. Rita Ora collaborated on new song Seaside with Sofia Reyes, Reik and Diane Warren. 

They shot some beautiful visuals for the single. The John Tashiro directed video was played more than 2,6 million times in 3 days!  

Idk, but it seems like everytime she collaborates with someone, it turns out to be a smash hit! Although it is not a surprise that Seaside is such a masterpiece, cause - as you may know already - Diane Warren is a songwriting legend. She wrote in the last 35 years songs for Britney, Celine Dion, Lady Gaga, Faith Hill and many more. She is an Grammy, Emmy, Golden Globe, Billboard Music Award winner artist, was nominated 12 times for Academy Award. 

Seaside was released on her album The Cave Sessions, wchich came out 3 days ago. She worked together on the songs with G-Eazy, John Legend, James Arthur, Celine Dion, Leona Lewis, Santana and many more.


 

 Egy nagyon laza, de fülbemászó tengerparti hangulatot idéző nótával jelentkezett ezen a hétvégén Rita Ora. A brit énekesnő a Seaside  kedvéért Sofia Reyes-szel, Reikkel, és Diane Warrennel működött együtt.

A dalhoz felvettek egy szuper, ugyancsak tengerparti hangulatú videót is. A John Tashiro által rendezett klipet a felhasználók három nap alatt több, mint 2,6 milliószor játszották le.  

Diane Warren minden idők egyik legsikeresebb dalszerzője, az elmúlt 35 évben a legnagyobb neveknek írt dalokat. Nyert már Grammy, Emmy, Golden Globe díjakat, de Billboard Music díjjal is jutalmazták és tizenkétszer jelölték Oscarra. 

Jelenleg a The Cave Sessions Vol. 1. című lemezét promotálja - amelyen a Seaside is megtalálható, - a koronghoz olyan művészekkel dolgozott együtt, mint John Legend, Celine Dion, Leona Lewis vagy éppen Santana.

Édes melódia után, édes szerelem - az édes recept úgy tűnik nagyon bejön a trióvá apadt Little Mix számára. A csajok a twitteren osztották meg új daluk a Love (Sweet love) borítóját, amely szeptember 3-án érkezik. 

Korábban nem nagyon írtunk a Little Mixről, de változnak az idők... A banda 2021-re háromfősre csökkent és novemberben adja ki Between us című greatest hits lemezét, amely a Little Mix fennállásának 10 éves évfordulóját igyekszik megkoronázni.

After Sweet Melody comes Sweet love - it seems like the sweet recipe works for Little Mix. The bitish girltrio shared the information about the September 3rd release via twitter alongside with a cover picture. 

We did not post much about them before, but Little Mix is definetley one of the most influental pop groups in Europe. The band will release their greatest hits album this year, november 12th, the girls announced it last month. The record will contain 18 hits and 5 new singles. 




Last time the ladies have collaborated with Anne-Marie, check it out! 
 


 Lady Gaga közzétette két év után folytatódó Las Vegasi koncertsorozatának legfrisebb dátumait. Az első időpont október 14-én lesz, míg az utolsó október 31-én. 

A koncerteknek ezúttal is az MGM Park Hotel ad helyszínt, ahol a jazz és piano esteken csillogtatja meg tehetségét az énekesnő. Biztosan pazar lesz. 



Lady Gaga announced the dates of her Las Vegas Residency at MGM Park in Oktober. The new events will be held after two years, the first date is 14th October and last is at the end of Halloween, 31st. 


 On 25th August is the 20th anniversary of the day when the world lost a beautiful soul and an incredible artist. Aaliyah died on this day in 2001 at the age of 22. 



Missy Elliott tweeted last day about Aaliyah.... 

So we remember her with Aaliyah's best music videos. Watch and tell us in the comment section what is your fav Aaliyah record? 



Húsz évvel ezelőtt augusztus 25-én a világ szegényebb egy nagyszerű zenésszel és emberrel. Ezen a napon hunyt el ugyanis az akkor mindössze 22 éves Aaliyah, akinek zenei hatását ma is érezhetjük. Missy Elliot a szomorú évforduló kapcsán azt tweetelte, hogy számára nagyszerű azt látni, hogy új generációk fedezik fel maguknak az énekesnő munkásságát. 



Az MTV Video Music Awards hagyományosan az év egyik legjobban várt zenei eseménye. Különösen igaz ez most, amikor a rohadt koronavírus miatt egy csomó koncert elmaradt. 

Az eseményt szeptember 12-én tartják, a helyszín pedig a Barclays Center lesz, New Yorkban. Eredetileg a Brooklyn aréna lett volna a helyszín, de a pandémia miatt át kellett helyezni, közölték a szervezők. Akik azt is hozzátették, hogy a hatóságokkal együtt dolgozva azon vannak, hogy mindenki biztonságban élvezhesse a gálát. 

Mivel a dátum a 9/11-et követő napra esett, várhatóan meg fognak emlékezni az Egyesült Államok tragikus napjáról is a rendezvényen. 

Az űrhajós formájú ikonikus szobrocskát kicsit megreformálták erre az évre, mert növények futnak végig rajta, ezzel is a diverzitást jelképezve. Érdekesség, hogy az asztronauta 1984. óta a VMA állandó szereplője, ekkor volt ugyanis az első díjátadó.

A minap azt is bejelentették, hogy a gála házigazdája ezúttal a fellépőként is tündöklő Doja Cat lesz. Egyébként a fellépők névsora is ismert már, ahogyan még szavazni is lehet a jelöltekre. Alább találsz linket és pontos listát róluk. 

Megjegyezném, hogy az est nagy nyertese Doja Cat lehet, de több kategóriában jelölt Olivia Rodrigo és Mega thee Stallion és Cardi B párosa. Számomra ismerős régi nagy nevet csak az RnB kategóriát böngészve találtam, hiszen itt szerepel Beyoncé a Brown skined girl-lel. Na meg a legjobb pop kategóriában ott van Miley Cyrus is, aki mára már szinte öregnek számít. Számomra érdekes újdonságként hatott, hogy van legjobb K-Pop kategória is. Idáig jutott a világ, hogy a koreai rágógumi pop begyűrűzött a világ egyik legismertebb díjátadójára is. Érdekes.... Ahhoz képest hogy 10 éve még rnb-re toltuk, ma már azt alig említik. Na mindegy, azért szeretek pár dalt a k-popból, tervezek is majd egy posztot erről a témáról. 
A legjobb latin zene kategóriában még felbukkant nekünk a Black Eyed Peas és Shakira és képzeljétek a rock kategóriában ott van a kétezres évek elejének nagy kedvence az Evanescence is. Le vagyok maradva, hogy ők újra zenélnek... 
Egy biztos, a Foo Fighters nem fog üres kézzel távozni, mivel ők vehetik az MTV Global Icon díját az idei átadón. 
A fellépők listájától nem estem hanyatt, Doja Cat mellett szerepelni fog, Shawn Mendes és Camilla Cabello, Chloe, Lil Nas, Lorde, Olivia Rodrigo, a 21 Pilots és Machine Gun Kelly.... 

MTV Video Music Awards is one of the most wanted music events of every year. Of course it is true in 2021 when we missed a lot of concerts and festivals due to pandemic.

The VMA will be held on 12th September in New York City, Barcalays Center. MTV said originally they wanted the show to be placed in Brooklyn Arena, but they had to move it due to pandemic. The channel stated, they work together with state officials to maximize security for those who attend the award show.

They will remember 9/11 cause of the date is one day later. And we know that iconic moonman was reimagined for this years ceremony. Fun fact, the award is shaped as a mooman since 1984. This was the year when the history of MTV Video Music Awards began.


MTV announced yesterday the host of the night will be Doja Cat, who also performs on 12th September. Alongside with Camilla Cabello, Shawn Mendes, 21 pilots, Olivia Rodrigo, Chloe, Lil Nas, Lorde and Machine Gun Kelly.

Foo Fighters will be there too, because MTV gives the Global Icon Award to the band.

Just recently discovered the new single of dutch DJ Tiesto, Dont be Shy featuring Karol G. The song was released almost a month ago, but in my opinion did not recieve as much attention as it should. 
After his smash hit Business last year, he recorded another great hit song. 

The video is a bit boring but colorful and Karol looks great in it. 

Maybe you remember, that i interviewed Tiesto exactly 10 years ago at Balaton Sound in Hungary, Zamárdi. Since then i follow what happens to him. Also noticed not long ago, that he became finally a father. Great to him.
 



Talán még emlékeztek rá, hogy pontosan 10 évvel ezelőtt a Balaton Soundon interjút csináltam Tiestoval. Azóta követem, mi történik vele. Így láttam meg, hogy időközben apai örömök elé nézett és megjelent az új dala is. 

Amióta néhány hete rábukkantam Tiesto új számára, azóta megállás nélkül hallgatom. A holland DJ a tavaly év végén hatalmasat robbant Business után a Dont be Shy-jal is nagyot alkotott. A dalban Karol G működik közre, aki valamelyest szépségével fel tudja dobni az amúgy igencsak ötlettelen és unalmas videót.
