Romantic rhapsody
AMERICAN singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus' fourth album entitled Forever is a Feeling drops tomorrow.
The musical creation will showcase the singer's approach to romance and the brave willingness to express and experience desire.
'This is the first time I felt like I needed to write about my current emotions, for my own well-being, to express to myself what's going on,' Lucy said in an interview, about the writing process.
'I got kicked in the head with emotions. Falling in love, falling out of love… You have to destroy things in order to create things. And I did destroy a really beautiful life,' she added.
The musician is known for being a part of indie rock band Boygenius alongside Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker, who are also set to appear on the album.
The trio earned three Grammy Awards last year for their debut studio album entitled The Record.
Forever is a Feeling will also feature Irish singer-songwriter Hozier on the track Bullseye.

US singer Chris Brown charged with assault in Britain
American R&B singer Chris Brown, the former boyfriend of superstar Rihanna, is due to appear in a UK court on yesterday after being arrested and charged over an alleged assault at a London nightclub in 2023, police said. Brown, 36, is known for mid2000s hits such as 'Kiss, Kiss' and a litany of legal troubles including a felony conviction for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. He was arrested again in the early hours of Thursday at a hotel in Manchester, the Metropolitan Police said. The singer, who has faced criminal accusations including sexual assault and domestic violence, remains in custody and will appear in court in the northwestern city at 10:00 am (0900 GMT) on yesterday, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement. Brown was charged with 'grievous bodily harm with intent' in relation to 'an assault, which reportedly took place at a venue in Hanover Square in London' on February 19, 2023, the statement said. Brown allegedly attacked music producer Abe Diaw with a bottle at Tape nightclub in London's exclusive Mayfair district, The Sun daily reported. The singer, who began his career in the 2000s and has sold tens of millions of records worldwide, was touring the UK at the time. Brown reportedly flew into Manchester airport by private jet on Wednesday afternoon. He is due to embark on a world tour next month, including several scheduled dates in the UK in June and July. Police detained Brown early Thursday at the five-star Lowry Hotel in Manchester, according to media reports. The two-time Grammy winner rose to fame at a young age with his rich R&B voice and later rap, but his reputation was later tarnished by allegations of domestic violence and other abuse. He was convicted of having beaten Rihanna before the 2009 Grammy Awards, forcing the pop star to miss the annual gala

New Evidence Emerges in Marc Mysterio's Shadowban Lawsuit Against Amazon, Calls on ‘Anti-Hero'
NEW YORK, April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Marc Mysterio, a Billboard-charting artist and undefeated professional boxer—IBA Boxing has issued a letter sanctioning Marc Mysterio vs. Jake Paul for their vacant 220 lbs title—has introduced new evidence in his lawsuit against Amazon Music (Case No. 1:25-cv-01705, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York), alleging the platform used an 'IF/THEN' filter to cripple his music's viability. The Irish-Canadian artist, who logged 80 million streams from September 2023 to August 2024 as a voluntary Amazon Exclusive Artist, claims Amazon's filter replaced artist-level metadata with a '-' white-out symbol—rendering songs artist-less—preventing fan alerts and stations' streams. Court filings include a letter of preservation requesting 17 items, such as Amazon's logs identifying when the alleged filter was activated, who authorized it, user error reports, and the implementing programmer's user-ID. Mysterio music appeared on Taylor Swift's station—generating 3.7 million streams in 2024 before bottoming out in September—asserts the shadowban handcuffed his reach. Marc Mysterio Streams & Listeners on Amazon Music's Taylor Swift Station; Overall Streams & Listeners Marc Mysterio Streams & Listeners on Amazon Music's Taylor Swift Station; Overall Streams & Listeners on Amazon Music from September 1, 2023-August 31, 2024'Amazon profits from creators whilst blacklisting artists through shadow-banning,' said Mysterio. Mysterio has urged Taylor Swift to remove her catalog from Amazon due to the shadowban, given Swift's legacy of advocating for artists' rights—from her Spotify boycott to supporting Kesha—her voice would be a game-changer. The two also share a mutual friend, All Elite Wrestling's Jeff Jarrett. Taylor Swift Taylor Swift 'I've posted video evidence on —a 3-Part Series—I'm calling on Taylor to stand with me in unity against shadow-banning. When she pulls her catalog from Amazon, it solidifies her as The Anti-Hero. Jeff has my contact details—let's talk,' Mysterio states. Swift's partner, Travis Kelce, was also co-featured in a Billboard article with Mysterio for new chart entries. Mysterio's lawsuit—seeking millions in lost and unpaid royalties— follows recent Billboard-Hit 'The Dancefloor' and collaborations with Flo Rida, David Guetta, Crash Test Dummies, Samantha Fox, Netflix's 'Trailer Park Boys', and Avicii (according to Billboard).

Colours of life
melissa@ WORDSMITHS in Bahrain and beyond will gather for the kingdom's much-awaited annual poetry festival tomorrow, staged by the Bahrain Writers' Circle, featuring diverse themes like nature, childhood memories, love and loss and more. Colours of Life will showcase 25 poets of various nationalities, including Canadian, Indian, British, Irish and Mauritian talents. They will present their creative interpretations of 'colours' across the spectrum. While the event will be hosted on The Terrace at the British Club in Um Al Hassam, former Bahrain residents who continue to be members of the group will join it from various parts of the world, including the UK, Canada and Dubai. The festival is being organised by The Second Circle, a sister group of BWC, founded by former resident and Irish poet David Hollywood. David launched the poetry festival's inaugural edition at Bahrain Fort in 2012. 'The Second Circle troupe of poets was created in order to meet on a monthly basis to encourage and inspire each member to new, and then higher levels of poetic creation,' David, who left Bahrain in 2016 but is an active member of the BWC, told GulfWeekly. 'As the formula proved successful, it was determined to provide an opportunity for those poets to publicly showcase their works through a festival of celebration. To our surprise and delight, it was such a success upon its launch, that it went on to become an annual event,' the author, who will participate this year, added, while also revealing his ambitious hopes for Colours of Life to become an international festival someday. BWC director Saira Ranj hopes to present her piece, which conjures an image of 'blood red' hues. In it, she reminisces her life journey. She notes that the festival brings together her two passions – the written word and colours. The artist and marketing manager, who has her own art studio in Bahrain Financial Harbour, has been living in the kingdom for the last eight years. 'Colours possess the remarkable ability to evoke feelings, convey moods, and transport us to different realms of imagination. Combine that with poetry and you get emotional alchemy,' the Indian expatriate from Seef said. Darius Abbasi, a British national of Iranian origin, who has been a BWC member for the last seven years and is part of the team steering the group, will be flying down to the kingdom from Dubai specifically for the event. He is set to present a poem about hope and gratitude, which according to him is best symbolised by 'white'. 'The inspiration came to me when I was visiting my dad. We spoke about his charity projects and the ensuing challenges, sitting under the sun with a garden in front of us,' the senior digital engagement director, who lived in Bahrain for four years, said. An excerpt from the former Seef resident's work reads: 'My father sitting by my side Each line on his face telling a story His kind and soothing words, full of hope' Indian expatriate and educator Raji Murali, who also joined the group seven years ago, has chosen the colour green to bring alive her experience in the midst of nature. 'I was fascinated to know how poets associate their experiences and emotions in words linking them with a colour, which spurred me on to participate in the festival. I wanted to share my first trip to Coorg, a beautiful hill station in southern India. After a long road trip from Bangalore, we reached Abbey Falls and had to trek half a mile into the forest at sunset to reach this place. My poem tries to recreate this experience,' project director at Dr APJ Abdul Kalam International Foundation, who manages their overseas education initiatives, said. An excerpt from the Hoora resident's poem reads, 'The Golden sunset filled the thick forest and our pleasant journey unfolds. Fragrances of blooming flowers filled the air, The moment when our senses were stolen away,' The event is open to all on a first-come-first-served basis and will run from 7pm to 8.30pm.
