After Kylie Jenner, a 22 year old girl with no specific talent (at-all) made news all over the planet for being the world's youngest billionaire, the power of well managed Business and exclusive Endorsements was demonstrated. Kylie Jenner, from the bedroom of her Calabasas home, California, promoting through her Instagram profile, at no cost basically, created one of the most in-demand skin-care line for young women. Coupled with a single exclusive endorsement deal, one of the most expensive deals in fact, with Adidas, made her a billionaire at the age of 22. Compared to that Jay-Z, one of the most prolific artist of our time, became a billionaire only by the age of 49 years. And only a handful of artists have ever achieved that size of financial success in human history. This realization has lead to a frenzy of pop artists entering business for themselves. First came Rihanna with her well-selling line of Fenty Beauty products, with the niche of making cosmetics for all com...

Making her own rules as she goes, from nothing to once in a century Divadom- Onika Tanya Maraj a.k.a. Nicki Minaj was bound to rise through the ranks, as real talent cant be put down for long. Nicki Minaj has surpassed by a huge margin any women who ever came to Rap. She has been the reigning queen of rap since almost Decade. Here are some records that Nicki has set through her career. - Nicki has to her name the highest number of billboard hot 100 singles in the history, more than MJ, Bey or anyone else. -  Throughout her career, Minaj has received numerous accolades, including six American Music Awards , 11 BET Awards , four MTV Video Music Awards , four Billboard Music Awards , a Billboard Women in Music Rising Star Award, and 10 Grammy Award nominations. . - Nicki has highest number of videos with 100 million views on Youtube. She is tied up with Rihanna for that record.   - Apart from music, Fashion Industry is where Nicki has left a massive impact. - ...

A lot of pop or otherwise, artists have tried hands-on with acting but very few could find the connection genuine and strong enough to stick to it. (Except for JLo! This one woman does it all) Over the years Madonna failed, Shakira's same, Rihanna, Nicky Minaj doesn't wants to do movies anymore, Beyoncé hasn't done any move in like a decade ('Cadillac records' a biopic on the life of legendary black singer Aretha Franklin was her last, R.I.P. Aretha) in spite of the fact that she is brilliiant. But this autumn, Bradley Cooper's directoral debut and a remake of a legacy, starring the one and only Lady Gaga seems to be poised to change that. We all know theres nothing this woman cant do. She jumps off the height 15 storey buildings for NFL while 100s of drones dance behind. She stood alone in front of Trumps building, at midnight, with a board that says 'Love Trumps Hate' when he announced the deportation programs for millions of latinos that have be...

Its here! Its here! Its here! After asking us to wait even more, the 'Queen killer, with massive rear' has finally released her 4th studio album titled "Queen". Packed tightly with 19 tracks, unlike the new trend of mini-albums, Nicki just gave us a buttload of Nicki to hear to, and I couldn't be happier, especially when I'm on bedrest due to a cold situation. Complete with collabs from The Weekend, Lil' Wayne, Labrinth, Future and his majesty Eminem, himself. Few hours and already No. 1 @iTunes of 64 countries, this album is supposed to re-affirm Nicki's Crown at the game and, so far so good. Ever since Cardi B rocked me, I was so in need of a Nicki dose. And now I'm so on the clouds, if you know what I mean! Also on account of being so biased, I wont be reviewing it at all, I will just bask in her glory and everything else will be taken care of. Adios. #NickiMinaj #Queen Heres the track list

She is 37 years old, a wife loyal to the fault, mother of 3 but she still manages to take away breaths of millions with her voice and her suave. The biggest Fashion icon there is, her stage presence is a lesson in textbooks for artists to come for the next century or so. But why do some people hate her?? Wikipedia says-  Throughout her solo career, Beyoncé has sold over 100 million records worldwide, making her one of the world's best-selling music artist s . She has won 22 Grammy Awards and is the most nominated woman in the award's history. She is also the most awarded artist at the MTV Video Music Awards , with 24 wins, including the Video Vanguard Award . The Recording Industry Association of America recognized Beyoncé as the Top Certified Artist in America, during the 2000s decade. In 2009, Billboard named her the Top Radio Songs Artist of the Decade, the Top Female Artist of the 2000s decade, and awarded her their Millennium Award in 2011 . In 2014, she...

So the world came to a standstill, ' Everything Is Love ' is now out and about. An Album with the highest possible profile collab of 'The Queen' and Jay-Z, announced live in their London On the Run II Concert day. Essentiallly finishing a trilogy after Lemonade and 4:44 , arguably the finest works of 2016 and 2017, now The Carters are back with another one in 2018. Everything Is Love is a compact album with 9 tracks, essentially rap/hip-hop duets of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, talking about their deepest feelings of loses and triumphs, and let me tell you- its Triumph through and through. Now available on all major platforms including Tidal, iTunes and Spotify. THE BAD- Still looking for'em. THE GOOD- Theres a lot to talk here. Everything Is Love is a mature, well balanced and still new at its core. It goes without saying Beyoncé outshines her husband through out. But then she is she, and we are all more than happy about it. The first single- Apeshit was rel...

Music is eternal. Its definition changes through generations. But its an art, no matter what. From Whitney Houston to Nicki Minaj, all singers big or small have contributed positively (Dhinchak puja too!!) to the library. But every now and then, you find that one artist and that one song, which changes your life and who you are!!! The first time it happened to me when I discovered my first music obsession, in 2006 and it was the longest and most loyal relationship I was ever in- Shakira. Since then many such obessions came and went, the first one still holds that special place. Since then I have fell for Lady GaGa, Melanie Martinez, Nicky Minaj and most recently Lana Del Rey. Almost every singer sings about love- but their are few, who you can tell, once, had really loved someone and lost it. Their music speaks volumes about those stories, and their passon feels real. When the music is not about money, you sooner or later realize, how powerful is music and the words that make t...

Browsing through YouTube when I should be studying for the exams that are already over my head, I saw concert videos of my heart throb Shakira and Coldplay together. There was no stopping me now, Exams who!!! I dug in and realized Shakira and Chris Martin (and rest of the Coldplay) performed together several of each others songs together live in Hamburg, Germany in front of a massive audience. those songs include Chantaje, Me Enamore, Yellow and A Sky Full of Stars. It was a brilliant moment and they had an amazing chemistry together, far beyond what I would have asked for. They mesmerised the audience with instrumental versions of each others songs and it was so beautiful to watch. Here are some videos for you to see. I hope they come together later on for some groundbreaking original collaborations in the near future. Amen!!! :D :D <3 <3

Melanie Martinez is one of those up and coming singers who are immensely talented and have a career brighter than sun ahead of them. She was discovered through the American singing contest 'The Voice' and was groomed by Adam Levine. Even though she couldn't win the contest she is doing way better then many of the winners of the show. As I just read that her first Album 'Cry Baby' released in 2015 got certified Platinum in the US last month which is a huge deal for any debutant singer, even though it happened two years later. A very hearty congratulations to you Melanie. This was a very well deserved recognition for the album and we expect even greater works of art from you in the near future. For those of you who don't know about her first album, its called 'Cry Baby', a well though metaphor as she likens the pain and suffering of adults to that of babies, and also dresses like one and behaves like one. Seriously!! All of her songs are so mat...

After waiting and praying to the latina 'goddess' for 3 years, she has finally blessed us with her next album 'El Dorado'. The 11th studio album of the Queen of the Spanish Language- Shakira is here and saying its fabulous would be a gross under statement. Now about the name of the album, El Dorado (meaning 'the golden one') " was the term used by the Spanish Empire to describe a mythical tribal chief of the Muisca of Colombia, who, as an initiation rite, covered himself with gold dust and submerged in Lake Guatavita. The legends surrounding El Dorado changed over time, as it went from being a man, to a city, to a kingdom, and then finally an empire. A second location for El Dorado was inferred from rumors, which inspired several unsuccessful expeditions in the late 1500s in search of a city called Manõa on the shores of Lake Parime. Two of the most famous of these expeditions were led by Sir Walter Raleigh. In pursuit of the legend, Spanish conquista...

She is an actor, a singer, a dancer, a director, a producer, a model, a fashionista, a philanthropist, a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, a no one to a Global Icon story: Priyanka Chopra is living the dream and she very well deserves it. The story began in 2000 when a girl born and brought up at Jamshedpur, Jharkhand won the Miss India World title and went on to win Miss World beauty pageant. I am a huge huge fan of Priyanka Chopra, not from the very beginning, but from the times when she showed the world how versatile of an actor she is. My favourite movies of her would be Bajirao Mastani, Mary Kom and Fashion. Other than that most of the projects she is choosing these days are very diverse and high in Quality. This careful curating of her work is quite new actually. Like every other beautiful women who wins a beauty pageant or dates Salman Khan, Bollywood embraces them with arms wide open. After winning the Miss World title Bollywood directors flocked to her doors ...

Each year starts with a gazillion Awards shows, where most talented people in their respective professions are recognised for their inspiring works in the last year, closely scrutinized by a group of respectable experts in a jury, and in some cases- the people. Not all of the awards have equal significance and/or star power. The Academy Awards, The Emmys and The Grammys are what others aspire to be. With "supposedly" unbiased juries and tremendous star power, these events are anticipated each year by music/TV/movie aficionados. I being all of the three, take a good amount of interest in all the nominations, winners and of course the red carpet. Last year when Beyoncé released lemonade, her 6th studio album I realised it was going to be an acquired taste for me. The huge praises by critics, people and contemporaries did not resonate with me and I was right. Over the time, the tracks grew on me and so it did on my dear friend who all but maintained that Adele is the act ...

Lady GaGa- A name synonymous with fame and enigma, has risen once again from her ashes with JOANNE in 2016. Her last album Cheek to Cheek even though a critical and commercial success( it won a grammy), failed to garner my attention simply because it was jazz, and I tried believe it or not but "This lady is a tramp" made my ears bleed so I couldn't go any further. But that's because of my personal indifference over jazz. Thank god, its not Jazz again with Joanne. The fame/monster and Born this way led to an International acclaim so massive, its been achieved by very few in the history of music. Lady gaga became a household name, either worshipped or hated which often had less to do with her music, but more with her costumes, controversies and rivalries. Clearly this girl knew how to make global headlines, that's good publicity. There is no doubt that GaGa is an absolute musical genius, but the failure of Artpop to capture the market like it was supposed to, l...
