Post is back to writing music and share some personal feelings and perspective. He’s pretty spot on!
“As crazy as the world is and as strong as everybody needs to be, being able to be in my house by myself and just vibe-out and see where my brain takes me — this has been a perfect time to make music, and to write songs about what’s going on currently,” he explained.
“I’m working on an album now,” says Malone “There’s so much to say in these times that will give people hope and hopefully uplift people’s spirits. Because it’s a dark time in America. It’s a dark time in the world. Honestly, for a songwriter to be in the house all day is a blessing and a curse. In the darkest of times I’m just trying to make something beautiful out of it.”
“But [I’m] able to be introspective and think about how [to] be a better person and help out more,” he reflected. “To be honest, I think everyone in America is going a little bit crazy sitting at home all day. So I’ve gone a little bit crazy, and I wanted to take more steps outside of my comfort range and make music that I think — to me — is some of the best I’ve made.”
He hopes his next album with inspire….
“I probably say that every album cycle, but for me it feels so special. I want to make an album that will uplift and show that people are not alone in their times of loneliness and worry and that at the end of the day we all just need to show love to everyone on the planet and figure things out,” he said. “So we’re working pretty hard, and I think we’re making some incredible stuff.”
Kicking off his presidential run Kanye attacked the porn industry and made an emotional appeal against abortion. He said his wife Kim Kardashian stood up against him when he wanted an abortion. He said children are the most important thing in the world and that everybody that has a baby gets a million dollars. He also encouraged people to get off prescription pills.
Kanye has so much FU money that he can say whatever he wants. But Kanye believes he has a moral obligation to speak his mind and engage in discourse whether he thinks it benefits him or not. Kanye doesn’t and never has played by the rules.
Kanye tweeted out a new tracklist for his next album, Donda, and said it will be released Friday, July 24th.
Ok, this is a crazy statement, but not really if you think about it. I knew touring would not resume until next year. But Marc Geiger, the former head at William Morris says it’s going to be 2022.
Geiger’s estimation, “It’s going to take that long before, what I call, the germaphobic economy is slowly killed off and replaced by the claustrophobia economy — that’s when people want to get out and go out to dinner and have their lives, go to festivals and shows.”
“It’s my instinct, that’s going to take a while because super-spreader events — sports, shows, festivals, etc. — aren’t going to do too well when the virus is this present,” Geiger added.
Geiger said there are “probably 20” roadblocks that need to be overcome before live music can return. “The virus and illness being one, spacing and density” being another, he explained. A third, Geiger noted, will be insurance and liability. “With [COVID], there’s infinite liability,” he said, noting the challenge venues and promoters will face in finding an insurer willing to cover their events.
England on the other hand will begin allowing indoor performances next month.
Boris Johnson said “From 1 August, we will restart live indoor performances to a live audience subject to the success of pilots, and we will pilot larger gatherings, with a view to a wider reopening in the autumn… From October, we intend to bring back audiences in stadia and to allow conferences and other business events to recommence. These changes have to be made in a covid-secure way subject to pilots.”
As TikTok dies a slow death, Instagram Reels goes in for the kill. The Chinese owned app TikTok has faced scrutiny in nearly every nation, and with India aka as high tech city banning the app people are fleeing faster than New Yorkers.
Instagram see’s a new fresh opportunity and will introduce a new “Reels” feature. It will arrive to the U.S. in early August
What is Instagram reels? It’s a TikTok-style short-form video feature that allows users to record and edit 15-second video clips with audio and music soundtracks. Facebook is set to roll out Reels in 50 countries “in a matter of weeks.”

Lady A is swallowed up in controversy. Do you remember when Lady A dropped Antebellum because it had ties to the period of history before the Civil War? Well, they took the name from a black blues artist Anita White who goes by Lady A.
Some critics called it a hasty decision. Now the Nashville trio is suing the black female black artist.
Anita White aka Lady A. accuses the trio of taking her name and propagating racism. She told Rolling Stone, “At this point, I’m not surprised by anything they would do,”. “When they talked about how talks broke down, they never talked outside of trying to get me to do what they wanted me to do, which is coexist, and that’s something I never wanted. I stand by that. I’ve said it so many times. And in our conversations, I told them, I didn’t think coexistence would work.”
I’m not sure how long the country band (Lady Antebellum) will continue with the lawsuit considering thousands of people took to social media, voicing their opposition to the lawsuit.
As one commentator said, “I’m changing my name to Dave and then suing you for already being named Dave.”
