Morgan Wallen Shares Three New Songs Ahead Of The Release Of His Upcoming Double Album

Morgan Wallen has released three new tracks, “Somebody’s Problem,” “Still Goin’ Down,” and “Livin’ the Dream,” ahead of his upcoming double album, Dangerous: The Double Album, set for release on January 8, 2021. The collection will offer 30 songs, with two additional songs on a Target edition.

In a statement last week, Wallen said, “The ’double album’ idea started off as just a joke between me and my manager because we had accumulated so many songs over the past couple of years. Then quarantine hit, and we realized it might actually be possible to have enough time to make it happen. I also ended up writing quite a few more songs during the quarantine with some of my good buddies.”

You can take a listen to “Somebody’s Problem,” Still Goin’ Down,” and “Livin’ the Dream,” at the audio links on YouTube referenced above.

“As promised,” Morgan Wallen drops three new ‘Dangerous’ songs, including the personal “Livin’ the Dream”

Filming To Begin On ‘Black Panther 2’ To Begin in July 2021

The sequel to the Marvel film Black Panther will begin filming in Atlanta next July. The sequel was temporarily put on hold after the death of Chadwick Boseman, who played the titular superhero. According to The Hollywood Reporter, initially the plan was to start production in March 2021.

Actor Tenoch Huerta is in talks to play one of the antagonists. Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke and Angela Bassett are expected to return for the next chapter, with many hinting that Wright’s character Shuri may take on a more prominent role.

There has been no update yet on who might take over late Boseman’s role and neither has the studio revealed its plans on how they will proceed without Boseman, although they have indicated that they will not use CGI to include the late star in the film. Boseman portrayed Black Panther and his alter ego, T’Challa, in the 2018 film. He was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016 and in August, the actor died at home in Los Angeles, with his wife and family members by his side.

Metallica’s Lars Ulrich Says Band Is Working On Writing For Upcoming New Album

Metallica drummer/cofounder Lars Ulrich said during an appearance on Rolling Stone’s Musicians On Musicians series that the band is a few weeks into the serious writing for the follow up to their 2016 album “Hardwired… To Self-Destruct”.

Chatting with folk artist Phoebe Bridges, Ulrich shared, “We’re three, four weeks into some pretty serious writing. And of all the sh*t, pandemics, fires, politics, race problems, and just f***ing looking at the state of the world, it’s so easy just to so fall into a depressive state. But writing always makes me feel enthusiastic about what’s next. It’s like, ‘f***, there’s an opportunity here to still make the best record, to still make a difference. To still do something that not even turns other people on, but turns me on.'”

Bad Bunny Reveals He Tested Positive for COVID-19 After Missing AMAs

Bad Bunny tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of Sunday’s American Music Awards, forcing him to cancel his planned performance. The 26-year-old musician originally planned to perform with Jhay Cortez for a world premiere performance of their duet “Dákiti,” but never appeared on stage, opting instead for video calls to accept and present awards.

On Monday, his team confirmed in a statement to PEOPLE that the reason for the change in plans was due to a positive COVID test ahead of the show. “Bad Bunny was originally set to perform his No. 1 global hit ‘Dákiti’ with Jhay Cortez live for the first time at the AMAs but unfortunately, the artist tested positive for COVID-19, which forced him to cancel the presentation,” read the statement. The artist’s reps added that, as of Monday morning, he is “feeling okay [and] isn’t showing major symptoms,” and they added that they are “praying it remains that way.”

Bad Bunny presented the award for favorite female Latin artist from his home in Los Angeles and won the favorite male Latin artist and favorite Latin album awards for YHLQMDLG. Accepting his award, the artist said: “To all my fans, to all the people who support me and listen to my music, I do it all for you. Latinos are ruling the world. I love you all so much.”
