| Demi Lovato Launches a Campaign for Her Birthday in Honor of Breonna Taylor - Yahoo Lifestyle Posted: 21 Aug 2020 10:07 AM PDT 
Demi Lovato celebrated her 28th birthday yesterday, but that didn't stop her from using her platform to remind her followers that justice for Breonna Taylor has yet to be served. Taking to Instagram, the singer continued to push awareness of Taylor's case, sharing a meaningful message about how the late 26-year-old emergency medical technician will never get to experience a 28th birthday. Taylor, who's from Louisville, Kentucky, was shot and killed by police officers who wrongly entered her home on a no-knock warrant. Other high-profile celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé, and Cardi B have also used their voices and platforms to demand justice for Taylor's untimely death. "Today is my 28th birthday... a birthday that Breonna Taylor will never have the opportunity to experience," wrote Lovato in her post. "I've launched a Propeller campaign in Breonna's honor that includes prewritten letters to the Louisville mayor and chief of police, petition links, and donation links. No matter how big or small you think your impact may be, if we all stand together we can help bring justice for Breonna Taylor." Lovato ended her post by stating in all caps, "Start taking action now." Lovato also mentioned that she feels fortunate to be celebrating number 28 herself, alluding to her 2018 overdose. "I'm so lucky to be here today and to have made it to my 28th birthday," wrote Lovato in her post's caption. "Join me in taking a stand for Breonna Taylor." You Might Also Like |
| BTS's First Fully English Language Song "Dynamite" Will Lift Your Spirits - Yahoo Lifestyle Posted: 21 Aug 2020 07:58 AM PDT 
Leave it to BTS, the mega hit boyband from South Korea, to find a way to bring joy to their fans this summer. Ahead of their highly-anticipated fall album, the band released a new single on August 21, titled "Dynamite." Although the seven-member group has previously released music that featured English lyrics—including "Boy with Luv," "ON," "Black Swan," "Euphoria," and more—this marks their first entirely English-language song. Featuring a funky, upbeat, quick-paced staccato beat reminiscent of fireworks lighting up the sky, the song's striking high register and airy vocals evoke the best of carefree summertime living—providing the listener a welcome escape from the harsh realities of a pandemic. In fact, that opportunity to provide a reprieve from our new normal was on BTS's mind when recording and releasing their new single. "We also needed a breakthrough during these unforeseen times, so we worked on this new song," they said during a press livestream previewing the track, Forbes reported. "This is a new challenge for us as well. When we first heard and recorded the song, we were energized and our spirits were lifted up. We can't wait to share this song with you all and enjoy it together." RM, the group's leader noted that the pandemic left BTS members feeling "powerless" and "frustrated," at times and that "Dynamite" was a way for the group to recharge. "It's dedicated to all the people who feel like they've fallen down while running a marathon," Suga, one of the group's rappers, added during a press conference leading up to the song's release, Variety reports. "Even if you're going through tough times, let's do what we can in our places, and find freedom and happiness through dance and music." To help their fans—called ARMY—do just that, the band took on a distinctly retro concept with their new single, throwing it back to the disco era, with nods to the '70s as well as '80s. The music video features BTS members wearing bell bottom pants, a wash of bright disco-colors, vintage-looking sunglasses and breaking out choreography that nods to the era. Since its premiere at midnight, the "Dynamite" music video on Youtube racked up 10 million views within the first 20 minutes, and currently has over 60 million views—and that number is rapidly climbing. "Dynamite" has already reached #1 on the US iTunes chart. But for BTS, a group that has broken numerous music industry records, they're eyeing the opportunity to top the Billboard Hot 100 charts, a feat complicated in the past by the fact that the band's songs have often been overlooked by mainstream American radio stations despite the group's extraordinary success. It seems this time around, BTS can expect more radio plays, with some stations like Baltimore's Z104.4 and Tampa Bay's 93.3 FLZ taking to social media, promising to play "Dynamite" on air. Already hooked to the nostalgia of the retro music video? Feel like this is your 2020 summer song? Can't stop playing it on repeat? Below are the lyrics to BTS's "Dynamite," courtesy of Genius.com—so you can start memorizing and dancing along.
