Ms Nina, one of the leading ambassadors of reggaeton’s fringe movement, neoperreo, has dropped a thrill-seeking new song titled “Caprichosa.”
It’s her first single since the release of 2019’s Perreando por Fuera, Llorando por Dentro (Dirty Dancing on the Outside, Crying on the Inside), her debut on Diplo-founded label Mad Decent.
Produced by Kabasaki, the bouncy “Caprichosa” (“Capricious”) samples the well-worn reggae track by Chaka Demus and Pliers’ “Murder She Wrote.” The Ana Sting-directed video follows Ms Nina across California’s High Desert, where she holds auditions for a “papito,...

Angela Lansbury — the 93-year-old actress best known for playing the writer-turned-detective Jessica Fletcher on the long-running TV show, Murder, She Wrote — gave her official seal of approval to famed reggae duo Chaka Demus and Plier’s 1993 hit, also titled “Murder She Wrote.”
CBC’s Radio Q DJ Tom Power introduced Lansbury to the track during an interview Monday. While Lansbury was, unsurprisingly, unfamiliar with the song, she — also unsurprisingly — got a kick out of its title and told Power, “Oh, reggae. Oh, I’m thrilled to be part of reggae.

It's being reported that Mariah Carey's to star in a Christmas-themed musical, with Brett Ratner aboard as producer...
Professional singer Mariah Carey's no stranger to the silver screen, having appeared in such films as The Butler, Precious, You Don't Mess With The Zohan and the 2001 psychological horror, Glitter.
Deadline is now reporting that Carey's fusing her two favourite pastimes with a new movie project, which will be set at Christmas.
Currently untitled, the top-secret film will deal with the theme of "how the power of music can transport you back in time to your truest and most authentic feelings."
And, indeed, transport us back to 1994 - the year when Carey dominated the charts with her biggest hit, All I Want For Christmas Is You. With Carey starring and singing in the forthcoming festive movie, produced by Brett Ratner, a reprise of that chart-topper seems all but inevitable.

Who won video of the year again?
The Bet Awards were barely about the actually awards as wild performances stole the night. They also didn't present the top honor Sunday.
Janelle Monae ended the three and a half hour-plus event with a top notch performance of "Q.U.E.E.N." alongside Erykah Badu, who brought a white poodle onstage. It was just one of the night's best performances, which also featured stolen moments from a seductive Ciara, a slick Miguel, a random – but welcomed – reggae set and a playful Justin Timberlake with an even more playful Charlie Wilson.
Timberlake took a backseat to the soul singer, joining Wilson onstage for a medley of his solo and Gap Band hits.
Stevie Wonder, Jamie Foxx, Pharrell, Snoop Dogg and India.Arie were also part of the tribute to 60-year-old Wilson, who earned the lifetime achievement award.
"Charlie Wilson is soul music.

Los Angeles, March 10: Singer Nicki Minaj has dared to bare her breasts in what is being touted as her 'most explicit' music video so far.
She also writhes around on a chair in the video, for which she has just gold stars covering her modesty. The 30-year-old also moves around in red platform heels, leopard print leggings and a gold bomber jacket that is unzipped to expose her bare chest, reports thesun.co.uk.
In another shot, she wiggles her bottom to the sounds of the track which samples 1990s reggae duo Chaka Demus and Pliers hit "Murder She Wrote".
The skimpy outfit is Minaj's most risque look ever - despite previously.

Throw together a low-lit club, your favorite tank and bikini, the Dutty Wine, the stocking cap you owned in high school, Lil Viscious, Chaka Demus & Pliers' "Murder She Wrote,"and -- gasp! -- Lil Kim and you've got Nicki Minaj and French Montana together in the music video for the latter rapper's "Freaks." Minaj makes a severely hot-n-bothered appearance in said gold pasties with only a jacket to keep her warm as Montana's over-dressed in this club-based video, for a song that's equally hot. I love the matter-of-factness in the Mmg Mc's voice, and Minaj's high-heeled dominance on the throne. ("American...
