“It has been such a fun process writing and executive producing for this project,” said Timberlake. “Being able to bring together different creatives from various disciplines and genres has been the most rewarding part. Creating something that serves the movie while still being able to exist apart from it has been a fun challenge that was made even more exciting by working with the other amazing artists that helped us put this together.”

Trolls World Tour Original Motion Picture Soundtrack follows the highly successful #1 children’s soundtrack for DreamWorks Animation’s 2016 musical hit Trolls, which was also produced by Timberlake.

About Trolls World Tour
Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake return in Trolls World Tour, an all-star sequel to DreamWorks Animation’s 2016 musical hit. In an adventure that will take them well beyond what they’ve known before, Poppy (Kendrick) and Branch (Timberlake) discover that they are but one of six different Trolls tribes scattered over six different lands and devoted to six different kinds of music: Funk, Country, Techno, Classical, Pop and Rock. Their world is about to get a lot bigger and a
whole lot louder.

A member of hard-rock royalty, Queen Barb (Rachel Bloom), aided by her father King Thrash (Ozzy Osbourne), wants to destroy all other kinds of music to let rock reign supreme. With the fate of the world at stake, Poppy and Branch, along with their friends — Biggie (James Corden), Chenille (Caroline Hjelt), Satin (Aino Jawo), Cooper (Ron Funches) and Guy Diamond (Kunal Nayyar) — set out to visit all the other lands to unify the Trolls in harmony against Barb, who’s looking to upstage them all.

Cast as members of the different musical tribes is one of the largest, and most acclaimed, groups of musical talent ever assembled for an animated film. From the land of Funk are Mary J. Blige, George Clinton and Anderson .Paak. Representing Country is Kelly Clarkson as Delta Dawn, with Sam Rockwell as Hickory and Flula Borg as Dickory. J Balvin brings Reggaeton, while Ester Dean adds to the Pop tribe. Anthony Ramos brings the beat in Techno and Jamie Dornan covers smooth jazz. World-renowned conductor and violinist Gustavo Dudamel appears as Trollzart and Charlyne Yi as Pennywhistle from the land of Classical. And Kenan Thompson raps as a newborn Troll named Tiny Diamond.

Trolls World Tour is directed by Walt Dohrn, who served as co-director on Trolls, and is produced by returning producer Gina Shay. The film is co-directed by David P. Smith and co-produced by Kelly Cooney Cilella, both of whom worked on the first Trolls.

About SZA
Born in St. Louis and raised in Maplewood, NJ, Top Dawg Entertainment artist SZA, a nine-time Grammy nominee, Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee, released her major label debut album Ctrl (TDE/RCA) in 2017.

Pitchfork proclaims it “an opulent, raw R&B album that constantly tests the borders of the genre.” The now RIAA-certified Platinum album received five Grammy nominations in 2018 and more than half the songs on Ctrl are now RIAA certified Gold or higher as well. Her hit song “All the Stars” with Kendrick Lamar from Black Panther: The Album, Music From and Inspired By, earned her another four Grammy nominations along with Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for “Best Original Song” in 2019.

Aminé x New Track “Shimmy”

AMINÉ DROPS NEW TRACK: “SHIMMY”

SMASH HIT “CAROLINE” NOW CERTIFIED RIAA 5X PLATINUM

Portland-based rapper, artist, director, culture shaker and innovative ingenue Aminé delivers on promise to change perceptions and defy expectations with new track “Shimmy” — dropping today and paying homage to the past* while declaring 2020 as his — “let’s not front, it’s my year my n____.” He redefines his signature visual lyricism, swaggering production, and clever, catchy bars — WATCH OFFICIAL VIDEO HERE, co-directed by Aminé (Adam Daniel) and Jack Begert.

Produced by Boi 1da (“Work” Rihanna/Drake, “No Limit” G Easy, “0-100” Drake among countless others), Vinylz (“Fake Love” BTS, “Deja Vu” J. Cole, “Pick Up The Phone” Travis Scott, “Blessings” Big Sean/Drake/Kanye, “0-100” Drake) and Aminé’s right hand music maker Pasqué (together behind the magic of ‘Caroline’ and more) — “Shimmy” honors with influence and comes equipped with an Ol Dirty Bastard co-sign, sampling the Wu Tang Clan founder’s 1995’s“Shimmy Shimmy Ya.”

Artists who move culture forward create their own. Aminé’s debut LP, “Good For You” [Republic Records — LISTEN HERE] did just that for Portland’s music scene, hip-hop and the culture at large — buoyed by his 5x platinum RIAA certified breakout smash “Caroline” (WATCH HERE), “REDMERCEDES” (WATCH HERE) and “Wedding Crashers” [feat. Offset] (LISTEN HERE). The album which displayed mosaic influence from his parents’ Ethiopian heritage to trailblazers like Kanye West and André 3000, made an instantly indelible impact — scoring a RIAA gold certification, millions of singles streams, Spotify #1s, and 21 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 Songs Chart, peaking at #11. Aminé further solidified himself as a force of nature between explosive festival sets (Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza) and show-stopping late nights (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers). Maintaining this momentum, while owning his subdued profile and preference for an AirBNB wilderness cabin over a posh studio for recording, Aminé released his self-described 2018 EP/LP/MIXTAPE/ALBUM “ONEPOINTFIVE” (LISTEN HERE).

Spring Break x Airbnb Tips

Leave a reply

Spring break travel: Three ways to be a more responsible Airbnb guest

Travelers planning an affordable spring break trip should be aware of the “Airbnb effect.” Areas with a rise in Airbnb rentals, for example, often see a jump in housing prices and other negative aspects of tourism, according to the Economic Policy Institute.

Mohammad Rahman, an associate professor in the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University who has studied and written about the home-sharing platform, said the problem goes far beyond housing prices.

For more than two years, Rahman has been studying the prevalence of racial biases among Airbnb guests in New York City. After analyzing millions of Airbnb and Yelp reviews, as well as local restaurant employment data, he found Airbnb guests staying in predominantly black neighborhoods with a rise in Airbnb rentals were more likely to leave reviews with racial keywords such as dangerous, shady and risky. In addition, they were less likely to spend money at local restaurants and were half as likely to make a return trip compared to their predominantly white counterparts.

“From our digging of Airbnb reviews, it seems like people who go to predominantly black areas have a lot more safety concerns versus when they go to predominantly white areas,” Rahman said. “But the reality, when you look at felony numbers and crime statistics, many of these white areas have crime problems, as well.”

Rahman provided these tips to be a more responsible Airbnb guest:

Be conscious of your bias: Rahman currently is studying the prevalence of racial discrimination against black hosts listing a property on the home-sharing platform.

“From my ongoing study, we are seeing some sense of discrimination against black hosts,” he said. “If people can be conscious about that bias and do a little bit more digging before they make a choice, they may be pleasantly surprised. If we can be a little more conscious about our biases as we use these services, I think it might change one out of 50 people.”

Use the power of your dollar: Rahman’s findings show that areas with a rise in Airbnb rentals also experienced a jump in restaurant employment, suggesting guests spent tourism dollars locally rather exploiting residentials areas for cheap lodging and traveling to more traditional tourist destinations. The same economic spillover effect, however, did not take place in predominantly black or Hispanic neighborhoods.

“At least think about going to the local areas and helping them out because you are causing trouble as a traveler going to a residential area,” he said. “You are causing an unnecessary burden on that residential area, so spending your tourist dollars in that neighborhood is certainly useful.”

Share an Airbnb: The home-sharing platform allows visitors to stay in residential areas outside of traditional tourism hotspots with hotels and other lodging options. But renting an entire home rather than a single, private room often defeats the purpose of the service, Rahman said.

“The private room option is a sustainable way of traveling and really makes sure that the true value of Airbnb is preserved. Renting the whole home is essentially a hotel service,” Rahman said. “Now, I understand that’s a much, much bigger ask, but that’s something to consider if you are really focused on being a more responsible traveler.

How Casino Games Could Double Celebrity Earnings

Leave a reply

You don’t become one of the world’s richest musicians just by making good music. You also have to make smart business deals. Madonna is worth $590 million as she also owns health clubs, acts, and creates clothes, while P Diddy is worth $820 million for opening his own record label and for his other business ventures.

Releasing a successful song is likely the fastest way to make money in that business but it may not be the way to make the most money. The world’s biggest celebrities who make so much more money do so by diversifying their sources of income, with online casinos being a surprising option. If you are looking for an online casino, the gold coin casino at global poker comes highly recommended.

How Much Do Online Casinos Make?

A report by Technavio reveals that in the United States, the online gambling market is likely to make $4 billion in 2020. This industry is made up of several sectors, such as sports betting, table casino games like blackjack and roulette and games such as slots. The popularity of mobile casinos is part of the reason for this growth.

Without releasing their own online casino, the world’s most famous musicians are unlikely to make billions of dollars in a year. However, by entering into the market with their own game, they could potentially make millions of dollars without having to do much work.

What Celebrity Games Are There?

Some celebrities are doing this now and have allowed players to spin reels with their faces on and play casino games with their music for years. Some of the biggest slots available are the Guns N Roses, Jimi Hendrix and Michael Jackson slot games.

The Top Trumps Celebs game available at the online betting and casino site Betfair features several famous people on the reels. Players can match symbols of Brad Pitt, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Elvis Presley as they try to get the jackpot. The slot game only uses their photos but with a slot about their films or their music, they could make so much more.

Who Could Make a Casino Game?

For a musician to make a successful casino game, they’ll need to have a large selection of hits. Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice may be a popular one-hit-wonder but many players won’t want to listen to it on repeat. You would likely need three songs for the wild, the scatter, and the jackpot, to make the game entertaining.

Some of the best casino games about celebrities are ones that make us feel as though we’re going to a performance, where we are excited to hear every song that’s being played. This is why so many rock bands, such as KISS, have official slot games. You get to enjoy music in a new and exciting way without having to wait for them to go on tour.

Releasing a casino game could become a more popular option for celebrities looking to make money without having to release a new album or go on tour. It allows musicians and their fans to keep getting something out of music that was released years ago.

Bingo! It’s Taken Over The UK, Could It Work Here?

Leave a reply

The UK has revolutionized its nightlife offerings in recent years. No longer content with just a night on the town, Brits are going for experiences above all else, offering up things like arcades, mini-golf, and even bingo – all in or with bars. But what’s driven this sudden interest in pastimes previously reserved for families and even grandparents? Well, these games are a lot of fun… and there’s usually a lot more to them! So could they work right here in the USA?

The Beginning of the Boom

One of the first bingo club nights to pop up on the scene now so adored by millennials was Bongo’s Bingo. It’s found fame all over the world but continues to cook up a storm all across the UK. Offering a mix of music, a live show, and classic head-down bingo, the night appeals to anyone hoping to have a good time.

If you’re traveling and don’t know what to expect, it’s possible to remind yourself of the rules of play on sites like http://bingo.betfair.com/, which can give you a feel for the kinds of themes you might like best, choosing from a range such as Deal or No Deal and Rainbow Riches. Themes are all the rage at these bingo club nights.

What’s Spiked the Fascination?

According to an article at http://www.ft.com/content, nights like Bongo’s Bingo appeal to the social media generation. Everything about them is over the top and extremely Instagrammable, which is perhaps why they always sell out. From dance-offs to drag queens, there’s something for everyone, all packaged up into a format that uses cash prizes to encourage interactivity.

How “Bogan Bingo” has taken London by storm

Yet another bingo event that’s cropping up in the UK is Bogan Bingo. “Bogan” isn’t a British term – in fact, it hails all the way from Melbourne, Australia. If you’re hoping to enjoy a wild night out in London, Bogan Bingo, hosted in Fulham, should take you off the beaten tourist track. Bingo was THE coolest game of the ’80s in Melbourne, according to organizers, which is why they’ve brought it back ’80s style to a soundtrack hailing from that time. Tickets and information are available at http://www.boganbingo.co.uk/info. Expect everything from Bon Jovi to Bruce Springsteen!

Putting on a Real Show

Both Bongo’s Bingo and Bogan Bingo rely heavily on entertainment in addition to the game of bingo. Both easily integrate elements of comedy in the form of a live show, as well as top DJs and even famous bands. There’s a real “throwback” element to them – many of the special guests are pop bands from decades gone by, which really adds to the nostalgia element. In between games, there’s always something to do.

Could Bingo Clubs in America?

Bingo nights have become the life and soul of British nightlife – you can find them in cities across the nation, and you’re guaranteed a good time. But whether they would work here is hard to say. Whether Americans would be as likely to enjoy dancing on tables beyond their college years is difficult to say. However, providing the nights were themed accordingly for the relevant audiences, fun nights like this are suitable for anyone.

La Gaia x Repsol Sun Award

La Gaia, the flagship restaurant located in the Ibiza Gran Hotel, receives its second Sol Repsol thanks to its Mediterranean Kaiseki gastronomic proposal.

La Gaia, the iconic restaurant at Ibiza Gran Hotel, wins its second Repsol Sun. With this award, the Spanish Repsol Guide recognizes the excellence of the gastronomic proposal and experience offered by the chef Óscar Molina and his team. La Gaia aims at taking its culinary offer a step further through its gastronomic concept: Mediterranean Kaiseki. An enveloping ceremony for the five senses with Japanese and Mediterranean influences. While finding the perfect balance between haute cuisine and artistic expression, Óscar Molina shows his most personal side through elaborations that tell stories and express his life experiences.

There is a new gastronomic landmark to celebrate in Balearic Islands as of 2020. La Gaia, the flagship restaurant of Ibiza Gran Hotel, just won its second Repsol Sun, the award that the Spanish Repsol Guide gives away every year to the best restaurants and chefs in order to reward the excellence of a culinary proposal and service. Thus, the restaurant becomes the only one to obtain the second distinction within the islands in this edition.

Within a magnificent location in the island and led by the chef Óscar Molina, La Gaia is the unique fusion cuisine restaurant that has conquered the most demanding palates in Ibiza. Since its opening, his essence and philosophy have always been present within the project and culinary proposal. A new gastronomic concept that has never stopped evolving due to Oscar’s self-demand and curiosity for trying new techniques, flavours and textures while surprising. Thus, in order to keep looking for the excellence and sophistication and after winning its first Repsol Sun in 2017, La Gaia presented its new gastronomic concept in 2019 under Mediterranean Kaiseki.

With this proposal, which will be the main pillar of the gastronomic experience at La Gaia in 2020, Molina and his team turn every dinner into an authentic enveloping ceremony where every detail, color, texture and flavour are balance in every dish to express and show the intensity of the flavours at its finest. In the same way and being completely aware of the rich environment that surrounds the island, Balearic Islands and the Mediterranean sea are very present in every creation through the techniques, ingredients and flavours.

Through a dynamic menu that evolves and changes throughout the season, Mediterranean Kaiseki is also the most personal culinary proposal of the chef Óscar Molina, who uses every plate as a canvas to capture his experiences, memories, emotions and reivindicaciones.

“Obtaining the second Repsol Sun is not only a huge pride and joy but also an incredible energy and enthusiasm boost for the whole team. Starting off the season with this recognition makes us commencing with more hope and goodwill if possible. We can’t wait to open La Gaia doors again this year to keep exceeding our expectations and giving away special moments for our dinners. We want to move them through an excellent gastronomic experience with a very personal and careful treatment that makes them feel like at home” states the chef Óscar Molina.

About La Gaia:
La Gaia is the gastronomic flagship restaurant of Ibiza Gran Hotel. Managed by the chef Óscar Molina and inspired by the Japanese Kaiseki tradition that reflects the perfect combination between haute cusine and artistic expression around the Mediterranean universe, La Gaia has designed a culinary proposal capable of transporting the most exquisite palates into other gastronomic worlds.
