Such has been the case for Goldenvoice’s star-studded ‘Lovers & Friends Festival.’

Headlined by the likes of Usher, TLC, and Ms. Lauryn Hill, the eagerly awaited extravaganza also boasted an eclectic line-up compromised of Megan Thee Stallion, Brandy, Doja Cat, Summer Walker, Lil Kim, Ginuwine, Nelly, Trina, Amerie, and many more.

Originally set to take place in May, it’s now been moved to later in the summer.

Producer extraordinaire will.i.am is turning to music to inspire others during the global coronavirus pandemic and is getting by with a little help from his celebrity friends.

Lifting the uplifting tune, ‘#Sing4Life,’ to his official YouTube channel recently, the Black Eyed Peas-frontman called on fellow Grammy winners Bono and Jennifer Hudson (as well as celebrated composer YOSHIKI) to help bring the track to life.

‘Heart’ – produced by Andrew Watt and The Monsters And The Strangerz – is found aboard her sophomore album, ‘Future Nostaliga’ (available March 27), and serves as the follow-up to megahit ‘Don’t Start Now’ and 80’s-inspired jam, ‘Physical.’

Though earning no shortage of critical acclaim upon its January 9 release, Alicia Keys‘ ‘Underdog’ – the second single from her long-awaited seventh studio album, ‘A.L.I.C.I.A.’ – was commercially panned.

In an ironic twist of fate, ‘Underdog’s chart story could be set to reverse.  Response to the global coronavirus pandemic, the very reason the release date of the song’s parent project was postponed (click here to read more), is giving it an unexpected second wind.
