Dawn Richard is continuing to bring her ‘Second Line’ album to life visually and this time it’s by way of the ‘Mornin | Streetlights’ music video.

The visual was shot at City Park in her home state of New Orleans, something the former Danity Kane diva says was anchored in personal purpose.

Speaking on the clip, she revealed:

“A major theme of ‘Second Line’ is my desire to show New Orleans in ways that aren’t necessarily seen. I grew up going to City Park, right around the corner from my mom’s dance school; all of the school recital pictures feature the park in the background. I think City Park has this traditional beauty but also an alluring, haunting edge to it that makes it local. I wanted to marry the two with this visual, similar to fusing ‘Mornin’ with ‘Streetlights.’”

‘Va Va Voom’ hitmaker Nicki Minaj zoomed to the top of headlines Monday (September 13) when she took to Twitter to indicate she was unvaccinated and would not be participating in events that required attendees be vaccinated until she can ‘do more research’ – a stance that’s ignited a firestorm of controversy and conversation.

While it should be clear the GRAMMY nominee never expressly indicated she was anti-vax (and even encouraged her beloved fan base, #Barbz, to continue wearing masks), her commentary – which included anecdotal references to vaccine side effects – has earned thumbs down from critics and fellow celebrities including British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Piers Morgan, Joy Reid, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Meghan McCain, and others (as we previously reported).

One of the latest to weigh in on Minaj’s vaccine rant was Dr. Anthony Fauci – America’s leading epidemiologist. Look inside to see what he said:

September 3 brought with it the long-awaited premiere of Camila Cabello‘s modernized, ‘girl power’ twist to the classic fairy tale, ‘Cinderella.’

Leading a bill of award-winning stars like Idina Menzel (TONY), Billy Porter (TONY, EMMY), and others, Cabello also captained the Amazon Prime film’s official motion picture soundtrack – which shared the same premiere date as its parent project.

Boasting only a handful of original songs (i.e. ‘Dream Girl,’ the Cabello-penned ‘Million to One,’ etc.), the movie’s companion album shined brightest with its collage of remakes of classic hits like Madonna‘s ‘Material Girl,’ Janet Jackson‘s ‘Rhythm Nation,’ Earth, Wind & Fire‘s ‘Shining Star,’ Salt-N-Pepa‘s ‘Whatta Man,’ and more.

Helping to lead the ‘Cinderella’ flick to become Amazon’s most-viewed offering the weekend of its release, look inside to see if that success spilled over to the soundtrack itself.

‘Always Be My Baby’ (Mariah Carey), ‘We Belong Together’ (Mariah Carey), ‘Nice & Slow’ (Usher), ‘First Night’ (Monica), and ‘U Got It Bad’ (Usher) are just a few of the many smash hit singles that line Jermaine Dupri’s production credits.

One of the most celebrated producers of the last 30 years, when not laying down beats for the likes of Carey, Usher, Janet Jackson, Monica, TLC, Alicia Keys, Xscape, and many others over his career Dupri was found listed as a songwriter on some of Urban music’s most memorable numbers.

For those reasons and more, music lovers were puzzled when Diddy – after sending fans into a frenzy with indication he wanted to battle Dr. Dre on the #VERZUZ platform – followed by saying Dupri couldn’t hang with him because he ‘ain’t got enough hits.’

After years of waiting on official news related to the arrival of Aaliyah‘s discography on streaming outlets, her faithful fans were stunned in early August when Barry Hankerson – the late singer’s uncle and founder of her label, Blackground Records – announced her soundtracks, compilation albums, and studio efforts would be added to streaming platforms in the weeks that followed.

The commercial response to the streaming delivery of her sophomore album, ‘One in a Million’ (made available August 20), was so great the project reached a new Billboard 200 peak – nearly 25 years after its initial release.

Her tertiary LP, 2001’s ‘Aaliyah,’ was re-released September 10 and – if industry analyst predictions are to be believed – is on track to even better commercial fanfare.

Rap Queen Nicki Minaj has entered a royal rumble of sorts after taking to Twitter to voice her distrust of COVID vaccines, despite admitting she previously tested positive for the disease.

While some have praised the GRAMMY nominee for expressing a desire to “do more research” before she commits to being vaccinated, others – like TV hosts/social commentators Joy Reid and Piers Morgan – have slammed the rapper’s comments as irresponsible given her impressionable young fan base.

Not long after Minaj fended off comments from Reid (by referring to her as a “lying homophobic c**n”), another social commentator – Meghan McCain – entered the chat.

The 2021 MTV VMAs may have boasted stage-blazing performances from the likes of Lil Nas X, Normani, Camila Cabello, Ed Sheeran, Chloe Bailey, and more (as we reported here), but their collective star power wasn’t enough to help the ailing annual ceremony drum up an increase in viewership.

Like every other award show, the VMAs was not exempt from reports of steep declines in viewership – as evidenced by the event netting its “worst ratings ever” year after year.

After dropping to 1.32 million viewers at the 2020 edition, this year marks the first time the VMAs dipped outside of septuple digits since it became officially reporting its ratings in 1994.
