Zendaya's six unfinished demos leak
Last time we heard anything from rhythmic R&B singer Zendaya Coleman was when her single "Gunshots" debuted at number one spot on the charts in June, setting a new biggest opening week record and forming Zendaya a secure place in this music industry. When Zendaya managed to get her single to number one - which reached that position probably because of really talented and beautiful global superstar Taylor Swift is featured on it and travelled with Zendaya all around the world to promote their collaborative single - she went from being yet another typical Disney girl to being the next potential global superstar, since "Gunshots" reached highest places on various charts all around the world and became a huge global hit. People were hyped for Zendaya's sophomore album, which was put on pre-order in early July, but got deleted from iTunes briefly after. Although Zendaya explained why she decided to take her album off of iTunes, she promised to release her new album sometime in the summer. Sadly, but the album yet to be released, and some time after her album disappeared from iTunes, Zendaya disappeared for some time as well. She was barely on social media, which is unusual for Zendaya, since she always likes to talk to her fans, posts pictures on Instagram and do other things. Not only she logged out of Twitter and Instagram, but she also cancelled any appearance on red carpets for the next six months without a reason, and this is extremely unusual, because Zendaya loves walking down red carpets and dressing up for special events. Nobody knew what was going on with Zendaya, but that was until mid November, when TMZ reported an interesting story about Zendaya - they confirmed the rumours that someone broke in Zendaya's dad's car while she and her family were eating at a restaurant and stole a CD with six songs and Zendaya's personal laptop. Although Zendaya, according to TMZ, immediately reported to police that she was robbed, but they couldn't find the person who took Zendaya's stuff since there were no evidence and nobody saw this incident. A month later, On Christmas day, a mysterious and suspicious account on Twitter started blackmailing Zendaya, saying that they will leak her personal information and other stuff if Zendaya doesn't give them half a million. Many people thought that there might have been some nudes on her laptop that was stolen, but Zendaya isn't that type of a girl who would even take nudes. However, when Zendaya didn't respond to that Twitter account, they leaked Zendaya's six unreleased and unfinished demos online, as well as some interesting information about her second single and her sophomore album. The person who stole Zendaya's laptop and demos, confirmed that Zendaya is planning to debut her brand new single "Danger" during Dick Clark's New Years Eve event and release it immediately after the performance with her brand new album, allegedly called "Vandalism", coming out few weeks later on January 16th. Six new tracks, called "Pyromaniac", "Play With Fire", "Danger", "Do It Again", "Kiss Me Right" and "Before It Breaks", along with news about her second single and her sophomore album, went viral few hours later because a lot of different websites reported about this blackmailing and leaking scandal.
Later the same day, Zendaya posted a press statement on her record label's Republic Records official website and commented on this incident: "I'm really saddened by the fact that it's 2014 and there are still so many people who want to sabotage others for many reasons - for money, for fame or even to see them sad. They want to make your life miserable by trying to damage your work instead of fixing their own problems and life. As you may know, or should I say, as you may heard, my six unfinished and unpolished demos leaked on the internet today because I didn't agree to pay half a million to the people who robbed me, took my songs and my laptop. However, don't get too excited about everything that they leaked. I just want to clarify the fact that these demos are really old, I recorded them back in June along with Gunshots during one session, and only two of them are actually good. Other five songs are bad, and those songs are only experiments and nothing more. Me and Mike Will Made It were playing around in the studio with different sounds and songs that we wrote, and we created some demos just really trying to figure out what we want to create. And after those sessions in June, I left those old CDs with demos that we didn't use in my dad's car and I completely forgot about them. Also, my laptop was stolen as well, but thankfully, it was an old laptop that I didn't really use anymore. On that laptop, I had some information about my next single and my new album. As you may know, in June, my single "Gunshots" went number one on the charts and it set a new record. It also put a lot of pressure on me, since all of my friends and people who I work with started asking me "so when is your album coming out? You can't sleep though, since your single is still high on the charts, you don't want to waste the hype." That's why I started recorded everything as fast as I could, and everything I recorded felt rushed and not good. But the questions about my album continued attacking me, and that's why in September, I cancelled any public appearance, and I also cancelled all of my plans to release the second single on New Years Day and my album few weeks later, I cancelled everything, I stopped being so active on social media, because I needed to take a break to record a good album. An album that I would be proud of. I didn't want to hear those questions anymore because they just put a lot of pressure on my shoulders, and it's impossible to create a good album under pressure. I also linked up with new producers and songwriters, I'm taking some time to write songs as well, I'm doing everything slowely but surely, hoping it all works out. It is, actually, working out pretty good so far and I'm really proud of what I have made in the past few months. I have a clear vision of what I want to sing and what I want to do, and I'm doing everything right this time. I'm sorry but I can't say when it's coming yet, I can't say what you should expect, all I can say is that it's worth the wait. It is. My new music is coming out in 2015, and you can expect some surprises until my album and second single get's released. Love you forever, Zendaya."

“PU$$Y BE FLAMIN’”
RADIO WORLD PREMIERE /// ON AIR WITH RYAN SEACREST [2013 Words]
Céline Dion arrived at the On Air With Ryan Seacrest studio this morning to promote her brand-new single “Pu$$y Be Flamin’” featuring Kuntaliciou$. The single is the first of Céline’s forthcoming album, ‘#TurntUp2: Le Unreal Slayáge’, which is confirmed for release next February. Because of the explicit content, the radio will spin the edited / clean version of the track, which is simply titled “Flamin’”. Although many radio stations are hesitant to spin the single, due to its extremely vulgar topic, Ryan Seacrest & Co. had no problem in doing so, since they were promised the World Premiere. The songstress arrived looking immaculate, with simple, underdone makeup; she waltzed in with a beachy, red dress with one slit up her left leg. She greeted the staff / station and all smiles were around, as the sunny post-Christmas morning sprinkled in Los Angeles. She sat down, and after playing “Ratchette”, she was on the air.
RYAN /// “This Holiday Season morning, we have a very special event. Céline Dion, is in the studio with this today.”
CÉLINE /// “Yes.”
RYAN /// “How are you, how have you been… where have you been?!”
CÉLINE /// “I’m doing fine, thank you. Over the past few months, I’ve been promoting my music on the GGD Market, ‘#TurntUp’ actually. And in the midst of that, I’ve been finishing my next album ‘#TurntUp2’, which actually still has lots of work to do.”
RYAN /// “Well that’s why we’re here of course - to premiere your brand-new single “Flamin’”, I can’t really say the official title on the air, but we have the single. We’ll get to that later though. What inspired you to come back to the ATRL Market?”
CÉLINE /// “The GGD Market was cute overall - lots of great people and great material going on, but I just didn’t see myself there forever. I just wanted to get ‘#TurntUp’ officially out, and done with. Now moving on with ‘#TurntUp2’ I’m glad to be back on the ATRL Market where it all started in a way.”
RYAN /// “But coming back, also comes with some burdens I suppose. Do you think people, will ever forget “Ratchette” and the whole Barbra ordeal?”
CÉLINE /// “I’ve made a statement, repeated it a thousand times and such - but lemme reiterate this. I loved Barbra, we all have. And I wouldn’t mind much about the topic coming up in interviews… if I was still on my first era, you know? But now that we’re on the second installment of ‘#TurntUp’, it’s just time to move on and kinda cut it loose and let it die.”
RYAN /// “Do you ever look back on ‘#TurntUp’ and cringe just a bit? Because based on that statement, you don’t sound too pleased with the era.”
CÉLINE /// “I love ‘#TurntUp’. I just don’t love when I get asked questions about events that have occurred a year ago. It’s like… when will the world just keep spinning and let it go?”
RYAN /// “Right, right, I definitely get what you’re saying. So what about this next album is gonna be branched from your last effort?”
CÉLINE /// “Besides the title, not much. Of course there’s a title track, and a continuation to “Clappebaque Part I”, which I’m very thrilled for; but other than that, not much. This album is actually very polarizing from the last.”
RYAN /// “How so? New style, new producers-“
CÉLINE /// “Definitely. Last album, I worked a lot with Mike WiLL Made-It, William Orbit and Max Martin. It was all very generic. I was talking about Twitter, then Instagram, then Target… all in this very, familiar sound. I think I convinced myself somehow that just because I spit a few bars and had mediocre flow, and did Rap / Urban music period, that I was hot **** and the biggest game-changer out there. Clearly, that’s not what happened. But with THIS album, I am definitely taking a LOT of risks sonically, thematically… and in terms of collaborations. For example, this track, “Flamin’”, featuring an artist whose name I cannot say on the air, is the biggest risk on the album. For one thing - the song was inspired by periods. For the second thing - it features a rapper that has NEVER put anything out in music, ever. And for the third thing - it’s produced by Lone, Giorgio Tuinfort and Terius Nash and was written by myself, my collaboration, Tuinfort and Nash.”
RYAN /// “I recognize Giorgio Tuinfort, but who are these other people?”
CÉLINE /// “I’m a huge fan of Lone. He’s produced a lot of material for Azealia Banks in the past, and most specifically, “Miss Amor”, which led me to choose him for this record. And Terius Nash co-produced Rihanna’s “Phresh Out the Runway” with Giorgio, which has a sound and atmosphere that I envisioned for this single. Sonically, I feel like the word to describe this single is “whiplash” or “dynamic”. I’m very proud of what we’ve accomplished.”
RYAN /// “Absolutely, the single is something very edgy, cool and great. But why pick something so… vulgar, and noncommercial?”
CÉLINE /// “Because I don’t give a ****. I’m a careless… failure in a way. Looking back, I had failed to be the innovator, needle in the haystack that I had longed to be with ‘#TurntUp’. Sure, it worked with “Ratchette” for a quick two weeks, but with this era, I’m tired of playing these games. And when you hear this album as a whole, you’ll definitely understand and envision what I was finally trying to create. It just took me, a little longer to make it.”
RYAN /// “What fascinates me is that you talk so confidently, and precisely about this album. but it’s not done yet!”
CÉLINE /// “Welp - yeah!”
RYAN /// “Do you have one of these things where even though it’s not out, in the real world, you have it exact in your head?”
CÉLINE /// “Not much so, most of the material exists the way I hear it in my head, but everything has sounded top-notch thus far, and so I feel good about it.”
RYAN /// “Walk me through what Céline Dion does on a day of making music. How does your creative process work?”
CÉLINE /// “Uhm- there’s no real formula or structure to how I create my music, I just do. It could start out with the simplest of concepts to me - for example, I have a song where I came up with the idea of it through going to a church confessional, and the one you’re about to hear is from a menstrual cycle. Things can go in so many different ways.”
RYAN /// “What about producing, recording?”
CÉLINE /// “I’ll of course schedule studio sessions with producers and stuff. But with this single in particular, I had contacted the three producers and they all reciprocated wanting to create music. So I told them the concept of the song, sent them most of the lyrics, a raw recording of the rapper’s verse, and the idea for how I wanted it to sound. They spent three days in a studio in Hawaii I believe, coming up with the production for this song. I then arrived at the studio, they played it, and I loved it. We made some changes to it and then I recorded the song over two days, with my collaborator recording her portion in Hawaii with us afterwards.”
RYAN /// “So when you collaborate, you need to be face-to-face with these artists?”
CÉLINE /// “Absolutely. Many collaborations going on in the industry are very forced in a sense. They’re very, “Okay guys, let’s come up with something in the next hour that could hit #1 and record it by tonight so we can focus on spamming all the radios and booking every show alive, even if you’ve just performed there two weeks ago!”. Like seriously, the value of collaborations has always been a tug-of-war. You’ll have a fantastic collaboration by a few great artists, who are also very close, and then some… odd grouping that screams “WE NEED A TOP THREE HIT”. Hopefully with this track people will appreciate the actual content of this collaboration, and appreciate how we go about this single.”
RYAN /// “So what does that mean in terms of commercial success?”
CÉLINE /// “It means whatever happens will happen, and I’ll just go about my era with top-notch music.”
RYAN /// “And what a great way to conclude too! We’re gonna spin it.”
CÉLINE /// “Good morning guys, it’s Céline Dion, and you’re listening to the World Premiere of my brand-new single “Flamin’” featuring ‘Licious right here on Ryan Seacrest.
[SINGLE IS PLAYED]
RYAN /// “Well… that was something. I’m genuinely surprised.”
CÉLINE /// “So am I. I kinda can’t believe I just put out a song about ****ing ***** on the radio.”
RYAN /// “Neither do I, in all honesty, that was a little intense. But in a weird way, I really, really liked it.”
CÉLINE /// “Thank you.”
RYAN /// “I’m going to have to admit, even though the song is about something very feminine, you’ve got lots of more balls then the men out there do.”
CÉLINE /// “I’m glad.”
RYAN /// “So now that it’s out there, your single, what’s next?”
CÉLINE /// “I’m just going to go back in New York today, work on the album. sightsee and just take a little glance of the world before I start my very intense promo schedule coming up next week.”
RYAN /// “Have you done anything special over the Holidays so far?”
CÉLINE /// “Well I celebrated Christmas with my family, and that was great. My sons were definitely spoiled just a bit, and they were sad to see me go. That definitely sucks. But as for New Year’s, I’m going to reunite with them in New York and I definitely have a surprise there for my fans, so that’ll be exciting.”
RYAN /// “Well as a fan, I’m already surprised with this single! I mean, on paper, this looks REALLY bad; but in person, it sounds REALLY good.”
CÉLINE /// “Haha! EXACTLY though. On paper, this sounds plain ridiculous; but once y’all hear it, it’s like magic almost.”
RYAN /// “So what can we expect in particular with this single, moving forward - the video, performances, and such.”
CÉLINE /// “Well of course I will have my collaborator with me by my side through almost everything. Unfortunately today we just wanted to have me sit here since her name is very… inappropriate for radio audiences. And the performances will be very specific and crafted with many little details. I’m going for a very avant-garde, bold look with my performances. And as for the music video, we just wrapped it up last week. We’re currently editing it, but should be done over the weekend. It’s… a sight.”
RYAN /// “So I’m assuming you’ve directed the video?”
CÉLINE /// “Yup, with ‘Licious.”
RYAN /// “Can you tell us anything about it?”
CÉLINE /// “Hmmm- there’s… lots of men in the video. And, there’s… quite a lot of fire in the video. It’s a little provocative, but not tacky.”
RYAN /// “What else you tell us about this next album? Who’s written on it?”
CÉLINE /// “I’ve collaborated, in terms of writing, with- Madonna, The Veronicas, Charli XCX, Kiesza. There are many other writers who’ve done brilliant work on those albums, but those are some of the big-name collaborations I’ve done. And with this album… it actually sounds like the six songs Madonna has released from ‘Rebel Heart’, which I’m in love with right now. It sounds like a “Ghosttown”, as Madonna would say. There are multiple dark songs on the album, which have this etherial, really thoughtful vibe to it. Everything from this album comes from a meaningful, rock-bottom, whole-heart place. Nothing feels forced, everything is organic for sure.”
RYAN /// “So overall, it’s a less commercial album?”
CÉLINE /// “Yes. It’s commercial in a sense, in its own way. Not in the way that my last album was though.”
RYAN /// “Well Céline, I legitimately cannot wait to get my hands on this album.”
CÉLINE /// “Thank you!”
RYAN /// “And you look better than ever by the way. Everything just seems to be going your way after a while now, hasn’t it?”
CÉLINE /// “It finally has… and I’m very thankful for that.”
The single will be officially released tomorrow.

Taylor Swift takes on Good Morning America
(Swift this morning leaving Good Morning America studios in NYC)
American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift was live on Good Morning America this morning where she visited to talk about her brand new single ‘Style’ which has been setting the charts on fire in just it’s first day of release, already the song has been battling for the top spot on iTunes despite having no banners, but just off Taylor Swift’s star power alone. Swift also addressed her upcoming release, Yours: The Greatest Hits, Swift’s first ever greatest hits and compilation album which is due for release next week. Taylor even decided to give Good Morning America a cute little stripped back performance of ‘Style’ and updated us about her relationship with male model, Simon Nessman.
The world’s biggest female pop star was introduced to the stage about thirty minutes into the two hour program. Swift made her way through the entrance and into the studio where she joined the cast at a table that was decked out with some screen monitors displaying the ‘Yours’ album cover along with the single cover for ‘Style’. Taylor was all smiles as she greeted the cast with nothing but warmth and loveliness. She even brought some cookies with her she made to make up for running a little late to the show.
“It’s so great to have you here, Taylor” Robin Roberts, one of the hosts told Taylor as she took a seat. “Thank you, it’s wonderful to be here,” Taylor smiled, taking a seat after showing off her Versace designed dress she was wearing for the evening. The beginning of the interview consisted of a few small question, the biggest definitely being about what inspired Taylor to release her first ever greatest hits album, Answering, she said, “It’d been an idea for quite some time now. Like I believe back in about October I had someone pitch me the idea. I’d been recording a brand new album, an entirely new album, that is currently finished by the way, but yeah it just a possible option I had if I didn’t feel as if the material I’d been working on was ready. Which, of course I didn’t really feel was ready for release since it’s not out. But what really inspired it the desire for it to be different from other Greatest Hits albums, you know? I think that’s what both me and Justin wanted with our first greatest hits record. We wanted to motivate these fans to go out and buy the record, we wanted to give them that perfect balance between old and new. I rerecorded songs and even put some brand new ones on there, along with exclusive material specifically just to accomplish that.”
When asked about one of the songs on the record, ‘Too Good To Lose’, which features Bieber, Swift had quite a bit to say about the possibility of it becoming a single. “The song originally was meant for the album I have finished but isn’t released yet but I felt since both Justin and I are sort’ve on the same page career wise right now, that it’d be perfect for both of us to have on our record. It’s a gorgeous R&B mid tempo song that I think works well for the both of us. It really sticks to his signature sound as of late and it’s something new for me. It’s very reminiscent of Beyonce and Jay’s ‘On The Run’. And the chances of it being a single are unknown. Right now, me and my label haven’t even started to discuss what we’re going to do next after ‘Style’s finished doing it’s thing.” Asked about Justin’s new single, Taylor was all smiles. “It’s amazing, ‘Memphis’ is what I think one of his best songs so I’m happy he decided to make it a single. Out of his new stuff, I think it’s my favorite sans are song together.”
One of the final questions were how her relationship was going with the second most paid and well known male models in the world, Simon Nessman. Swift blushed, a grin on her face. “We are together. We have been for over eleven months now and everything’s going really good, hopefully things stay like that. He’s really taking care of me and I’m trying to do the same for him.” Lastly, before Swift took to the stage to give a wonderful vocal performance of ‘Style’, her new single, Swift announced her Forever Yours tour that would begin next week in New York City. “The Forever Yours Tour is a tour that will visit major cities all over the world for multiple dates. I’ll be singing some of my biggest hits along with some covers, and new stuff for the fans. It’s a huge production and I originally wanted it to be like all of my other tours but due to restrictions and limitations I had to cut it back a little. So instead of going everywhere, we’re going to visit major cities like Los Angeles, London, Moscow, Tokyo, Sydney, Paris, all those places. The tour begins where I’ve currently been staying at and where we are currently, in New York City. I’ll be playing three dates here at the Yankee Stadium and three dates at Nationals Park in Washington DC.” Tickets went on sale shortly after Swift’s performance of ‘Style’.
1/3/15 Yankee Stadium, NYC, NY

Cara Delevingne Covers VOGUE Magazine
1,102 Words
__________
The Subscriber Edition of the Cover
Cara Delevingne can literally do anything: Model, Sing, act, dance, create perfumes, have her own fashion line.... She's done it all already. The very successful supermodel launched a surprisingly successful and promising musical career last year, created her own brand called 'CARA' just like her debut album, launched a partnership with BEATS and was featured in 'Fast lanes' which featured Paige Elliot, Justin Bieber and others, before appearing in a few other movies.
With her come back with the soon to be a hit single 'La Belle' and a brand new album titled 'Distant Horizon' out next week, it was time for Cara to be back on the cover of the biggest fashion magazinein the world: Vogue Magazine. We met up with her at a starbucks coffee shop near a recording studio in New York City. We're in November and she's been recording the brand new album for months. "I think it's nearly ready" she says. "It's going to be finished by next week, and the lead single is coming on Christmas" she adds. The song she was talking about is obviously 'La Belle' the newly released lead single, which is Cara's very first fully urban song. She might have experimented with the genre with her debut on a few tracks, she confirmed the album will be mostly urban with a few Urban-Pop influenced songs. When we asked her why she titled the song 'La Belle' she says: "Well 'La Belle' means 'The Beautiful' in French. It's mentioned a few times in the song and basically the song is just about one very beautiful fierce woman, it just fits."
The 'La Belle' Single Cover
After Starbucks, we head back to Cara's spacious apartment in New York City, but we're stopped by an enormous amount of fans who have been following Cara that day. Paparazzi were also there, still unstoppable. New York is the city at which she recorded most of her album. "My debut was mostly recorded in London, this one is 100% New York City. Every city influences my work you know? My fisrt album was more 'basic' pop, this one is more experimental and fits the city. Next I want to try recording in Milan, make it have a more Eurodance sound, maybe work with Stromae, he's AMAZING. Or try some Pop/Rock. I'm not sure yet, I have many many ideas in mind, I just want to try as many genres as possible. Except like Country and Metal I'd probably fail miserably at those *Laughs*". Let's just say one thing: Cara sounds like an absolute angel when she talks she's really nice. About a year ago she also dated another model, coming out as bisexual. "It was an eye opening experience. It was just some dating and then we broke up but it was nice. It pushed me to want to experiment some more. I've been single since then though and that also pushed the album into a slightly more aggressive direction. I think if I started dating again the album would have sounded softer, nicer."
Cara's debut was also mostly written and produced by other people, but she has written on every single track this album has. She also directed the producers and did most choices herself "I just wanted to be more in control, I felt like I was ready to do so you know? Like when I was doing my first album I was just a model trying to make it big into the music world. This time I'm way more sure about myself. I also realized some of my past mistakes and I'm avoiding them. I want to make the album more personal." And the album is more personal, she sings about themes such as the backlash career, how she's handling it and moving forward. "That's why my album is called 'Distant Horizon'" she says. "Because I'm just looking at the distant horizon and trying to make the future the best possible. The horizon representing the future."
She then plays us a few tracks. The opening track, 'Kiss To My Heart' is a Charli XCX co-written electronic track with Urban influences. Another one , 'Honey' sounds like the best Sex track the music industry got in years, or maybe since Beyonce's 'Partition'. The album sounds very promising. 'La Belle' was written by both Cara Delevingne and Drake, currently signed to Hyped Records. Drake written on a few tracks on the album. Another surprising appearance concerns the producers. We already knew Giorgio Tuinfort produced some tracks on the album, we didn't know that another Giorgio was also producing. Giorgio Moroder, a synthdisco legend would also be producing. 'Distant Horizon' is basically a urban album with a few Synthpop and disco influenced songs.
Cara also talked about her film career. "I don't know what to do to be honest. I jsut want to keep on acting, I don't have any major plans for it yet."
We are pleased to also be the ones to reveal Cara's sophomore album cover and back cover along with Tracklist. 'Distant Horizon' is now available for Pre-Order. The album will be available on January 3.
