Peso Pluma Breaks Down ‘Éxodo’ Songs

peso pluma breaks down Exodo songs

In less than a year, Peso Pluma became the biggest Mexican music artist in the world: The superstar born Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija pushed corridos, or folk songs from his native Mexico, into the mainstream, and now leads the wave of trap-infused corridos. tumbados. 

His resounding success in the charts and in culture, however, has also attracted strong criticism: the 25-year-old singer has become a lightning rod for controversy around the historical link between corridos and narco culture.

Peso Pluma Breaks Down ‘Éxodo’ Songs

And now, Peso Pluma unveils “Éxodo” (“exodus”), his fourth album and the ambitious follow-up to 2023’s Grammy-winning “Génésis.” Peso talks about his newfound fame while showing another side of his artistry, exploring genres like hip-hop and reggaeton. But he's certainly not turning his back on the sound that created him. The corridos that dominate the first part of this record are more fiery, fearless and bélico (Mexican slang for “tough guy”) than before.

Peso Pluma: Exodo [Double P]

Genesis Peso earned Pluma her first-ever Grammy Award and several other record-breaking moments, but it also raised eyebrows on some lyrical subjects, prompting alleged death threats from a cartel. With Éxodo's double album follow-up, the Mexican corridos tumbados star crafted "a direct response to the negative press" to explain "why we do what we do and why we sing what we do," he said. Rolling stone. To show off his range, Peso Pluma breaks down ‘Éxodo’ songs, using the first disc from Éxodo to further explore the regional Mexican music and corridos tumbados he is known for, and the second disc to tap into Latin trap and reggaeton with features from Cardi B, Anitta, Quavo and others.

In “Hollywood,” a swaggering collaboration with Esteban Plazola, Peso Pluma glorifies the difficulty of staying at the top. “I live very fast, the life of an artist / Drugs and women / Another one for the list,” he sings in Spanish. Peso reunites with Eslabon Armado – the Mexican-American group with whom he scored a worldwide hit in last year's “Ella Baila Sola” – and Junior H for the brassy “La Durango,” where they sing about partying with women, bottles of Don Julio and pastel pink (slang for “pink cocaine”).

There are also love songs, enveloped in dreamlike soundscapes. He convincingly shifts into sierreño mode with the genre's resident sad boy, Ivan Cornejo, on the haunting "Reloj," where he seems to discuss his breakup with Argentine singer Nicki Nicole: "That you loved me / I swallowed this story / There are no more reasons to cry for you.”

In the second part of “Éxodo”, Peso completes the connection of corridos with the hip-hop loop. On Cardi B's hit collaboration "Put Em in the Fridge," horns and sharkto guitar colorfully collide with bass-heavy trap beats, the duo unloading deadly rhymes on their enemies. The crossover, however, is not as smooth in 'Gimme a Second' with Rich the Kid: Peso doesn't really find his place on an entirely trap song.

Later, he gets into the reggaeton groove while giving a sexier edge to his raspy vocals, turning up the heat with Brazilian pop star Anitta in the seductive “Bellakeo,” their ode to the perreando, or squeak, on the dance floor. Peso even brings up an infamous sex tape with the sultry reggaeton “Tommy & Pamela” featuring Mexican pop princess Kenia Os.

With “Éxodo,” Peso Pluma proudly continues to expand his vision of Mexican music, continuing his corridos crossover agenda while proving he has become a global pop star. The big changes he undertakes not only pay off, but they showcase his uncompromising spirit.

Cruel Summer Solstice on Wembley Stadium

Cruel Summer Solstice on wembley stadium

For me, Taylor Swift is a very special singer. Her talent also shows when she writes lyrics. It seems that summer is a great inspiration to him. 

The song "Cruel Summer" is very well known and considered a lot. In any case, summer is coming to Taylor Swift. A lot of events gather around her this season. Now, she will perform at Wembley Stadium exactly during the summer solstice. And this presence did not go unnoticed, although sometimes things have a special peculiarity, although we are in the midst of the summer solstice/

Because the summer solstice offers the longest day, many people take advantage of this to occupy their time with something. So Just Stop Oil attempted to target Taylor Swift's plane and spray paint it in an effort to raise awareness about climate change. A different kind of Cruel Summer at the horizzon.

Protesters filmed themselves entering a private airfield and spray painting several private planes orange. It also comes as the singer touched down in the UK for the final leg of her mammoth Eras Tour just hours earlier.

In images and fotage of the incident, two activists appeared to use a circular saw to break through a chain-link fence protecting the private airfield at Stansted Airport on Thursday morning (June 20). They then painted two private jets using fire extinguishers filled with orange paint, before taking photos in front of them.

"Jennifer and Cole cut the fence at the private airfield in Stansted where Taylor Swift's plane is parked, calling for an emergency treaty to end fossil fuels by 2030," the group said. "We live in two worlds: one where billionaires live in luxury, able to fly in private jets, the other where unlivable conditions are imposed on millions of people.

"Meanwhile, this system that allows a few to accumulate extreme wealth at the expense of all is destroying the conditions necessary for humanity to survive in an endless and rapidly accelerating 'cruel summer.' Billionaires are not untouchable, climate breakdown will affect each and every one of us. It's about Swift's plane indeed.

Commenting Taylor Swift's plane incident, Police told The Independent that Taylor Swift's plane was not at the private airfield at the time of the incident, although flight tracking data showed the 'Midnights' singer's Falcon 7x plane landed at Stansted at around 11pm last night.

In other Taylor Swift news, the singer recently confirmed that her career extravaganza, the 'Eras' tour, will end in December. The tour began in March 2023 and recently passed its 100th show. Swift performed a night in Cardiff earlier this week (June 18) - where she performed 'I Hate It Here' live for the first time.

This Summer Solstice comes with big event. She is now gearing up for three concerts at London's Wembley Stadium from June 21-23 before heading to Dublin on June 28 and possibly touring Europe.

Is Merrily We Roll Along, the Daniel Radcliffe's come back?

Daniel Radcliffe won Tony Award 2024

Merrily We Roll Along, Tony award winner of Best Revival of a Musical, was one of the favorite stories of the season, delighting audiences and critics with the revival of Stephen Sondheim's most famous production, which closed its doors after 52 runs. previews and 16 performances and 44 previews..

The Tony award marks the culmination of Merrily We Roll Along's remarkable comeback story, from an infamously short-lived original production to a revival that's the hottest ticket in town. While the original Broadway production of Merrily only ran for short time, this revival is proving that there was a "Good Thing Going" at the center of the story. 

The original Broadway production of Merrily received a single Tony award nomination for Best Original Score, losing out to Maury Yeston's Nine as best revival of a musical.

At the same time, Daniel Radcliffe won the Tony Award for best performance by an actor in a featured role in a musical, for his work in the smash hit revival of “Merrily We Roll Along.” The show is Daniel  Radcliffe’s fifth on Broadway, but the first for which he was even nominated for a Tony award, despite mostly admiring reviews all along the way.

Despite Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) is one of the world’s most famous actors, he never won a major award. Until now.

Merrily We Roll Along on the big screen: a crazy project?

The temptation to adapt successful musical shows for the big screen is high among certain directors or film producers. In Sondheim's repertoire alone there were A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, A Little Night Music, Into the Woods, Sweeney Todd... And we've also been talking about Merrily We Roll Along for several years.

In 2019, the press announced that Richard Linklater was going to direct an adaptation of Merrily We Roll Along and that the filming would be done on the same principle as Boyhood (2014). This film, anticipating this best revival of a musical, brought him worldwide fame and a shower of awards, was shot over a period of ten years, thus making it possible to incorporate the effects of the passage of time, both physical and psychological, on the actors.

With Merrily We Roll Along, the challenge is even greater, since the libretto spans twenty years. We follow the destiny of three friends determined to break into the artistic world, who experience ups and downs... The particularity of the work is that the story is told in reverse: when the curtain rises, we discover the 'one of them, rich and famous composer and producer; then, in each scene, we go back in time... until the end of the show which depicts their meeting at the end of adolescence.

Since we will have to wait twenty years – will we still be here? – to discover Merrily We Roll Along in a dark room – will there be more? –, let’s take advantage of the time that passes by relistening to “Old Friends”, the flagship song from Merrily We Roll Along by Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez:

Well, we are full of hopes regarding this best revival of a musical

Before the final rouns, one step ahead for now, Bryson DeChambeau had a superb day (67) with six birdies but missed the opportunity to widen the gap due to a double bogey on the 16th hole. "I try to play boring golf. The middle of the greens is stable, so I aim there to ensure a two-putt," explained the 2020 US Open winner, who now plays for the rival LIV tour, funded by Saudi Arabia."

Even if there is one more round, the general opinion is that Bryson DeChambeau won US Open this year
