First Drop? SB19 Collab!
G-Music's debut release is already making noise: 'Umaaligid,' a collab between Sarah G and P-pop kings SB19. Yup, she's starting strong.

This new label isn't just about Sarah. Matteo says G-Music was built on collaboration and growth, with hopes of supporting other artists in the future.
The couple is already juggling multiple projects with G Productions and G Studios. And to top it off, they just celebrated Sarah's 37th birthday. Iconic much?

Why Shah Rukh Khan's National Award for Jawan is 33 years too late
The 71st National Awards announcement on Saturday came as a shock and surprise to many, and not for choosing someone undeserving. One of the most prestigious film honours by the Indian government had finally recognised Shah Rukh Khan, after a 33-year-long career filled with commercial successes, critical acclaim and international accolades. Khan has 15 Filmfare Awards, was honoured with a Padma Shri by the Indian government in 2005, the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2007, and the Legion of Honour in 2014 (both by the Government of France). He is one of the most recognised faces from Indian cinema in the world, despite never having worked in an international project. His fandom spans countries and generations. It is hard to sum up his impact in one article, and I'm not going to try. But why did a man with such exceptional achievements have to wait 33 years for a National Film Award? That's a recurring question across social media platforms today. Indian cinema lovers are pointing out that many films — not necessarily the mainstream romantic ones that gave Khan his popularity — deserved recognition much sooner. The jury announced the National Film award for Best Actor for his 2023 release 'Jawan', which starred him as a messiah for the oppressed, fighting against corruption. This was hardly the first impactful, socially conscious, patriotic role he played. Fans have been citing his past works — including 'Swades', 'Veer-Zara', 'Chak De! India' and 'My Name Is Khan' — as more deserving of the National Award. Here are some posts from X: #ShahRukhKhan deserved it long back! #NationalAwards2023 — Aavishkar (@aavishhkar) August 1, 2025 The greatest scene in Indian cinema where acting at its peak. SRK truly deserved a National Award for this; it should have been given years ago. #NationalFilmAwards #ShahRukhKhan — Binod (@wittybinod) August 1, 2025 Shah Rukh Khan winning the National Award for Jawan is like awarding a masterchef for his chutney, when heâ��s already served five-course classics like Swades and Chak De India. Deserving? Maybe. Surprising? Absolutely. #Jawan — Secular Chad (@SachabhartiyaRW) August 1, 2025 Past films that should have won him the award The most repeated name is of course 'Swades' (2004) diercted by Ashutosh Gowariker (coincidentally head of the central committee of the 71st National Film Awards). 'Swades' starred Khan as an NRI working for NASA, who visits his hometown in rural India and is grief-struck by the plight of his people there. It won two National Film Awards in 2005 — for Best Male Playback Singer and Cinematography — but none for Khan or the director. In fact, Khan had himself admitted that he deserved the National Award for best actor that year, over Saif Ali Khan, who was awarded for his role in 'Hum Tum'. Another 2004 release that could have been a contender was 'Veer-Zara', where Khan played an Indian Air Force pilot who falls in love with a Pakistani woman and ends up in jail in that country for 22 years after being framed out of spite. Khan delivered another memorable performance two years later in ' Chak De! India ', as a former captain of the Indian men's hockey team who, after being ostracised following a controversial defeat, returns years later to coach the Indian women's hockey team. The narrative follows Khan's efforts to unite a team of sixteen disparate players from across India and lead them to international success. His monologues like "States ke naam mujhe sunai nahi dete hain (I can't hear the names of states, for me there is one India)" and "70 minute hain tumhare paas (You have 70 minutes)" have become iconic over the years. 'Chak De! India' was awarded Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment at the 55th National Film Awards, while Khan won Best Actor at the Filmfare Awards that year. Other films that fans have been bringing include ' My Name Is Khan ', where he played an autistic Muslim who sets out on a journey to meet the US President after his Hindu wife suffers from Islamophobic discrimination following the September 11 attacks. The film premiered in the UAE two days before its worldwide release, receiving widespread acclaim for its subject matter, direction, social message and performances, particularly of Khan. So, it is no surprise, really, that his Jawan recognition is being called 33 years too late. Not just fans, celebrated actors have called this a long-awaited one as well. Thespian Kamal Haasan, who has won the award thrice, remarked, "Kudos to @iamsrk on your National Award for Jawan, a recognition that has been long awaited for your remarkable influence on world cinema." This brings to mind Leonardo DiCaprio's Academy Award for 'The Revenant' in 2016, one that was widely considered too late for an actor of his calibre. Actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Mammootty, Ajay Devgn, Mohanlal, Mithun Chakraborty, Sanjeev Kumar, Om Puri, Naseeruddin Shah and Dhanush have multiple National Awards to their credit. The late Irrfan Khan, Rajkummar Rao, Akshay Kumar, Allu Arjun, Vicky Kaushal, and Manoj Bajpayee have won the award as well. While Khan has been mostly known for his commercial successes, his films, right from 'Deewana' and 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' to 'Jawan' and 'Pathaan', have made a lasting impact on the Indian cine-lover. His works have helped shape what we know as the quintessential romantic Hindi cinema. It is no wonder then, that it came as a shock to Indian cine-lovers that it took him so long to get to this honour.

‘The Voice USA' Winner Sofronio Vasquez to release EP produced by Michael Bublé
The Voice USA winner Sofronio Vasquez is gearing up for the release of his debut EP—produced by none other than his coach and mentor, Michael Bublé Vasquez shared details of the project during a recent media event ahead of his performance at the upcoming Bravo! Manila concert. 'I'm excited to share that Michael Bublé is producing my EP. We did some of the songs already. In our recent conversation, a duet Christmas song featuring me and him will be first. We're [also] doing an English-Tagalog song,' he said. The still-untitled EP will also feature collaborations with legendary musicians David Foster and Paul Anka. Vasquez said more information about the tracks and collaborations will be released via social media soon. As of writing, five songs have already been recorded. In addition to his work with Bublé, Vasquez is also working on a separate EP under ABS-CBN Music, with recordings taking place in New York. The singer also expressed hopes that Bublé would eventually join him on stage in the Philippines. 'Kinukulit ko talaga siya, 'Mag-guest ka naman sa concert ko.' Pero ayaw niya talaga. He said, 'When I come there, it has to be very particular and magical for both of us. It's going to be big for sure,'' he shared. When asked about the most valuable lesson he learned from Bublé during The Voice, Vasquez recalled one piece of advice that stuck with him: 'Sabi niya sa akin, 'Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.' At first, I hesitated to hold back, but I later realized he was right. That's how artists last in this industry—by knowing when to do more and when to do less.' Vasquez is set to perform alongside Jed Madela and Bituin Escalante at the Bravo! Manila concert on August 23 at The Theatre at Solaire.

♈ Aries Daily Horoscope for August 2, 2025
Big Aries energy today — but don't burn all your fuel before lunch. August 2 has you moving fast and thinking faster, Aries. You're chasing goals like they're going out of style, but remember: not every battle is worth charging into headfirst. Today is all about channeling that fiery drive in a direction that actually serves you — not just your ego. Career: You're ready to take on the world — or at least your inbox. Just don't bulldoze your way through tasks. A coworker might need your support, and slowing down to help could spark a collaboration that benefits you both. Love: Single Aries, flirtatious banter could turn into something deeper today — if you let it. Coupled Aries, don't let mood swings start unnecessary arguments. A little patience (yes, we said the 'P' word) goes a long way. Body: Your energy is high, but so is your chance of overdoing it. Get moving — take a walk, hit the gym, stretch it out — but listen to your body's limits. You're not a machine, even if you act like one. Mental Health: Feeling restless? That's your cue to do something creative or spontaneous. Structure can be grounding, but today, your soul craves freedom and play. Break routine — mindfully.
