Two things to listen to

Beyoncé accepts the best R&B performance award during the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards outside Staples Center on March 14, 2021, in California.

I mean, also do I need to say aside from Queen Bey?!?!?
Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” album lowered Friday (though it reportedly experienced leaked on the internet Wednesday) so you may want to stay away social media if you don’t care about that.
Because trust me, it will be Bey all day.
Sure, additional artists whose brand new projects build excitement for their devoted enthusiasts. But when it comes to Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, her music always stirs discussion about culture, community and so much more .
We are ready, Queen.
Letitia Wright as Shuri attends a funeral for T'Challa in a scene from "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever."

Decades a full album yet, but three songs in the “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” soundtrack are now readily available for streaming.
The songs are usually Bob Marley’s “No Woman, No Cry” covered by Tems, “A Body, a Coffin” by Amaarae and “Soy” by Santa Fe Klan, found me anxiously waiting for the film’s appearance later this drop.
Between your new music and the lately released teaser truck , I am already in my feelings.
Ur. I. P., T’Challa.

One thing to talk about

Adele performs onstage at American Express present BST Hyde Park on July 2 in London.

Let’s try this again.
Adele introduced on Monday the rescheduled dates for her Las Vegas residency that had been postponed back in January, the day prior to it was supposed to start.
Needless to say, people who acquired tickets were upset. I did not have tickets. I still do not have tickets.
But what I get is hope that will with the new times — and 8 additional ones — I have another opportunity to try to see one of my personal favorite singers in Sin City after all.

Some thing to sip upon

The late Paul Sorvino as Frank Costello is shown in a scene from "Godfather of Harlem" in 2019.

Sorvino furthermore portrayed gangster Frank Costello on “The Godfather of Harlem, ” and while he had a multitude of incredible functions, no one portrayed a mob guy like he did.
Perhaps surprisingly, Sorvino told Jon Stewart within 2015 that he nearly quit the function of mob boss Paul “Paulie” Cicero in “Goodfellas” as they was “really in a loss” trying to find the toughness to show him.
“I’m really an extremely soft guy, ” Sorvino said.
“When you give me this award, you honor my father, Paul Sorvino, who has taught myself everything I know about acting, ” she said at the time. “I love you very much, Dad. ”
We cherished him, too.
