Anthem: Last News

Karol G has apologised following a backlash over the lyrics to her new track ‘+57’.The reggaeton track was intended as an anthem for Karol G’s home country of Colombia, which also features guest appearances from other Colombian artists including J Balvin, Feid, Maluma, Ryan Castro, Blessd, Ovy On The Drums, and DFZM.However, some listeners accused Karol G of sexualising minors in the song. Translated into English, the lyrics sung by Feid and Maluma that are causing controversy are: “A mamacita since 14/ When she walks into the club, you can feel her energy/ Baby, I’m taking these shots for you/ She’s got a lot going on below, the outfit barely holds it.”The Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar issued a statement asserting that ‘+57’ “reinforces the sexualisation of children in our country” and “does not contribute to our fight against commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents.” It was also subject to a damning piece in Rolling Stone En Español called ‘The Disaster of +’57′’.Now, Karol G has responded to the backlash on her Instagram story.

Andrés Buenahora editor A new anthem from Karol G, Feid, J Balvin, Maluma, Blessd and Ryan Castro arrived Thursday under the name “+57″ — Colombia’s telephone code. All of the featured artists hail from Medellín, the capital of the Antioquia province in Colombia. Produced by Karol’s longtime and go-to producer, Ovy on the Drums, “+57” was co-written by all of the artists alongside Latin Grammy-winning songwriter Keityn, and newcomer DFZM.

Ella Mai is giving fans a birthday treat.

Cyndi Lauper sang “When You Were Mine,” her synthful Prince cover from her 1983 debut “She’s So Unusual.”It was a reminder that, at 71, she had outlived other ’80s music icons such as Prince, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and George Michael.And for the first time since her 1986 “True Colors” tour, the New York native was playing her hometown arena again. Who would’ve thought it would take her 38 years to get back there?But while Lauper never again reached the heights of her ’80s superstardom — her last Top 10 hit was 1989’s “I Drove All Night” — she has survived and evolved: She went from winning a Grammy for Best New Artist in 1985 to winning a Tony for Best Original Score for “Kinky Boots” in 2013.And now she is riding the wave of nostalgia for her pop career that has included a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination, her documentary “Let the Canary Sing” and a “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” sample by Nicki Minaj (on “Pink Friday Girls”).Seizing her moment to play arenas again on this farewell tour — although that doesn’t mean she is retiring from music or live performance — Lauper is unwinding the second hand back to her glory days.And when she took the stage at a sold-out Garden to “She Bop” — her giddy ode to masturbation that riled up the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center) as one of its “Filthy Fifteen” in 1985 — she was that punky rebel celebrating the joys of self-pleasure with her hiccuping vocal ticks that are singularly Cyndi.Maybe she couldn’t pull that off in another few years, but she still can now.

“Celebration,” their 1980 party anthem that became their only No. 1 single.But it’s the R&B group that formed 60 years ago in 1964 that will be reveling in their own “good times” when they are inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio.“They finally recognized us,” bandleader and co-founder Robert “Kool” Bell told The Post about their enshrinement on their first nomination — 30 years after they were first eligible in 1994.

Muse’s Chris Wolstenholme has launched a new band called Chromes and dropped two new singles – check them out below.The project and new singles by the band were first shared earlier this year, when the musician created new social media platforms for the group and dropped hints to fans about his new venture.While Wolstenholme is best recognised as bassist and backing vocalist for Muse – and has gone on to take on various roles as a producer – this new endeavour sees him take on the role of frontman. For ‘Imaginary World’, he creates a straightforward rock anthem that seems to make a nod to the same energy and upbeat riffs seen in pop-punk classics.“Tired of these highs / So I’m not going back, I’m all out of whack / Fighting to be free/ Crying to leave and this newfound love,” he sings, before the song drops down ahead of the chorus: “I’m living in an imaginary world / Stay close because I’m loving every word / Find me in my imaginary world / Locked in, there is no other way to turn.”‘The Good Life’, on the other hand, is a much more sombre track.
