So the latest unveiling of promos got us feeling feeling “nice.” And we can see much of the cast…starring Jake Gyllenhall, Conor McGregor, Daniela Melchior, Lukas Kage, Daren Barnet, Billy Magnussen and pop star Post Malone. The ambitious reimagining of the rowdy 1989 action classic from director Doug Liman and distributed by Amazon MGM Studios drops on Amazon Prime on March 21.

FIRST GLANCE! 👀 Lionsgate has released the first image from their forthcoming biopic on Michael Jackson’s and we have to say…NAILED IT! The casting 👏🏽 looks 👏🏽 incredible!

Jaafar Jackson, MJ’s nephew, is seen remaking concert footage while wearing the “Man in the Mirror” look during his Dangerous world tour (1992-1993). The image was taken by Kevin Mazur, the photographer on-set.

“U-S-H-E-R R-A-Y-M-O-N-D!”

We all (including the Swifties) will be singing and spelling his name for this year’s Super Bowl, as the 8x-Grammy award-winning Usher takes the big stage. It’s his time to shine. It’s been his time. And he’s gonna do it “his way.”

Usher, now forty-five years of age and an independent artist with a new album out (Coming Home), is finally gracing the legendary halftime show slot at the Super Bowl LVIII, a matchup featuring the returning champs Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers (their second Super Bowl face-off with the Chiefs since 2020).

Now joining a super league of musical pants including Prince, Madonna, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, U2, Coldplay, Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake and others, the R&B-pop superstar is expected to cover all bases with a mini-concert expecting to cover much of his chart-topping hits. Analysts are calling the highly anticipated event as possibly being the longest halftime performance on record, stretching over fifteen minutes in length.

With 9 number ones, 18 top ten hits, five platinum selling albums and a career spanning thirty years, it will be virtually impossible to hear everything “nice and slow” in Usher’s library, but “OMG” we do expect to hear solid chunks from these NINE culled favorites, personally selected from the folk at HiFi Magazine.

Rest in Power #SarahDash

We just learned of the sudden passing of Sarah Dash, one-third of the R&B/soul/disco group LaBelle. Dash, 76, was just on stage with her longtime LaBelle partner Patti LaBelle during a concert on this past Saturday. This raw footage showing the reunited pair singing 1976’s “Isn’t It a Shame” is believed to be one of her last moments on stage. Rest in Power, Sarah. #rip #sarahdash #labelle #music #randb #soul #pop #hifimagazine
