A few months ago, it was announced that the 2024 MTV VMAs were set to take place on September 10. Well, last week, it was revealed that Donald Trump and Kamala Harris had finally agreed to a presidential debate… on September 10. The VMAs would have presumably gotten the short end of that viewership conflict stick, so MTV took action.

Today (August 12), it was revealed that the VMAs will not air live from UBS Arena on September 11 at 8 p.m. ET. As Billboard notes, MTV said in a press release, “Our fans are encouraged to tune in for the 9/10 debate ahead of music’s most iconic night.”

Additionally, MTV also announced the first round of performers: Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Camila Cabello, GloRilla, and Rauw Alejandro.

Meanwhile, the list of nominees was unveiled last week, and leading the lineup is Taylor Swift with 10 nods. Other notable nominees include Post Malone (who has nine nominations), Carpenter, Eminem, Ariana Grande (six each), SZA, and Megan Thee Stallion (five each). Fan voting for some categories is currently open until August 30, so find more information about that here.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul previously said of this year’s show, “We are excited to welcome back the MTV Video Music Awards to New York State. From its origins at Radio City Music Hall in 1984 to this September’s event at the UBS Arena, the VMAs continue to captivate millions, showcasing the very best in music video artistry. As we prepare to host this 40th anniversary event, let’s embrace the spirit of creativity and innovation that defines our state’s cultural landscape.”

Shakira’s Star-Studded ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran’ Tracklist Features Cardi B, Karol G, Rauw Alejandro, And More

If ever there were a time for someone to rest on laurels, it would be after a gigantic statue in your image was erected in your hometown. And if that sounds like a strangely specific hypothetical, it’s because that exact scenario played out for Shakira in December when a 21-foot bronze statue of Shakira was unveiled in her hometown of Barranquilla, Colombia. However, instead of retiring, Shakira announced Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, her 12th studio album and first album since 2017. The LP is due out on March 22.

“My new album, coming out March 22, is one I created together with all of you, my pack of shewolves who were there for me every step of the way,” Shakira captioned an Instagram announcement on February 15. “Making this body of work has been an alchemical process. While writing each song, I was rebuilding myself. While singing them, my tears transformed into diamonds and my vulnerability into strength.”

This morning, February 29, Shakira unveiled the full Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tracklist, including the 2023 single “Acróstico” featuring her sons, Milan and Sasha. Check it out below.

Baja Beach Fest 2024 Will Bring Kali Uchis, Peso Pluma, And More Latin Talent To Just Across The Mexico Border

February 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Spring is coming up, with the first official day of the new season being March 19. That means summer is coming, which means festival season is near. In recent months, fests have been unveiling their lineups, and we have another one today (February 20): Baja Beach Fest.

The 2024 edition of the annual event is set to go down from August 9 to 11 in Rosarito Beach, Mexico (which is barely across the border and just over a three-hour drive from Los Angeles, for reference). Headlining the three-day, 18-plus, reggaeton- and Latin-focused fest are Rauw Alejandro, Peso Pluma, Fuerza Regida, and Kali Uchis. Becky G, Yandel, Mora, Jhayco, Sech, Latin Mafia, Xavi, Jowell Y Randy, De La Ghetto, Alvaro Diaz, Snow The Product, and more.

When it comes to passes, prospective attendees can currently join a waitlist via the Baja Beach Fest website. Their are four tiers of three-day pass: 3-Day GA at $459, 3-Day GA+ at $629, 3-Day VIP at $959, and 3-Day La Playa at $2,059, with no hidden fees attached to any of those prices.

The beachside fest has a lot to offer beyond the music as a press release notes, “During the festival, the town comes alive with merchants, surfing, ATV riding, horseback riding, and other beach activities, street food, and more, creating a party atmosphere that extends for blocks in either direction.”

Is Sueños Festival 2024 Sold Out?

January 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chicago’s Sueños Festival is set to take place over Memorial Day Weekend (May 25 and 26) in Grant Park, with Peso Pluma, Rauw Alejandro, Maluma, and Ivan Cornejo headlining the popular event. Other acts on the 2024 lineup include Young Miko, Xavi, Latin Mafia, Gabito Ballesteros, Jowell y Randy, Bizarrap, Bad Gyal, and many more.

As fans gear up to head to Grant Park to watch their favorite performers, some who don’t have tickets yet might wonder how they can still attend.

Here’s what to know about the current ticket availability for Sueños Festival.

Is Sueños Festival 2024 Sold Out?

Right now, yes, this year’s Sueños Festival is currently sold out. Those who are still hoping to go can try joining the waitlist through the festival’s official website. This includes a separate waitlist depending on the tier of ticket you might want, as four levels are being offered.

Fans could also try their luck at finding a resale pass through other methods, but it might be risky in terms of scams or higher prices.

Still, given that the festival has only been running for a few years, the fact that they sold out of all their passes and types speaks to just how great the 2024 iteration should be.

Kali Uchis is one of this generation’s most consistent artists. The sheer volume of music that pours out of her is pretty astounding. What is even more remarkable is that her sonic creativity spans two languages. Last year, she flexed her vocal abilities in English on Red Moon In Venus. This year, on Orquídeas, she will do it all again, but in Spanish.

In a statement, she discussed the delicate inspiration behind the forthcoming project. “The orchid is the national flower of Colombia, and we have more species of orchid than anywhere on earth,” she said. “I always felt distinctly intrigued and magnetized by the flower. This album is inspired by the timeless, eerie, mystic, striking, graceful, and sensual allure of the orchid. With this vast scope of fresh energy, I wish to redefine the way we look at Latinas in music.”

Continue below for everything you need to know about Kali Uchis’ new album Orquídeas, including the release date, tracklist, and more.

Pharrell Connects With Swae Lee, Rauw Alejandro For “Airplane Tickets” Single

Pharrell Williams, Rauw Alejandro, And Swae Lee Seek An Overseas Love On Their New Collab, ‘Airplane Tickets’

December 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Pharrell Williams is soaring to new heights with his new single. Tonight (December 8), the prolific producer and hitmaker has shared “Airplane Tickets,” A smooth new collab featuring Rauw Alejandro and Swae Lee.

On the streamy new single, the three fly fellas look to treat their ladies with the finer things, by way of international travel, excursions, and fine fashions.

“I got airplane tickets with your name on them / And, girl, you’re fine by me ’cause you’re good money / Say you’ll fall in love, girl, you might as well / All jokes aside, make you mine for real,” they sing on the song’s chorus.

Pharrell first debuted the song last month at his Louis Vuitton Men’s Pre-Fall 2024 Runway Show in Hong Kong. In an interview with GQ earlier this year, Pharrell opened up about his partnership with Louis Vuitton as well as his relationship with fashion as a whole.

“It’s not really about the items—even though we have a lot of items and we make new ones as well,” he said. “It’s about the idea. Trusting the brand that says that they understand what luxury is and how they can better suit your life.”

You can listen to “Airplane Tickets” above.
