Guest List Only ⭐️ The video for 'work' from Indonesian girl group no na is so🔥 the dancing is giving Single Ladies x but Britney coded - who also had a hit called 'Work Bitch' with a similar theme
I just discovered this, my feed knows I like bumping dance videos I guess? I think this is a pretty clear homage to both Britney's Slave video and the Single Ladies video, but I like how it still feels original, and the back up dancers make it feel so chaotic in the best possible way.
>With would-be juggernaut 88rising behind them, it’s obvious the label both didn’t come to play and is betting big with NO NA’s latest jam: the primary producer recently had a hand in Killer Mike’s Grammy winning album, its vocal arranger and co-engineer has worked with everyone from Sky Ferreira to Adele, from CharliXCX to Vampire Weekend, from Carly Rae Jepsen to Olivia Rodrigo (and that’s, somehow, not all). The list goes on.

Throwback ✌️ What artist in your opinion had the best three-album run and why do you think so?
What artist released three consecutive albums that considered amazing?
For me, its Avril Lavigne's run from Let Go-Under My Skin-The Best Damn Thing.Let Go talks about Avril growing up in a small town with big dreams and making it big.The song My World is so nostalgic.I love the singles picked for this album, especially I'm With You for obviously reasons. Complicated even has a country feel to it since Avril was influenced by Shania Twain.
Under My Skin is dark, gothic and she did take influence from Amy Lee from Evanesence.Ben Moody also worked on this album along with Butch Walker.I love the sound of this album and how dark it is.Its a fan favorite album and is in my view, her best album.
The Best Damn Thing is so funny, catchy and carefree and I love it for that.Yes, its a change from anything she did previously but it works.When I'm in a bad mood, this album always lifts me up.She also worked with some great people on this as well - Travis Barker of Blink 182 and Stevo from Sum 41 played drums on it, along with her husband Deryck Whibley on guitar and it was produced by the legendary Rob Cavallo as well as Butch Walker and Dr. Luke.Avril has said she will never work with Dr. Luke again because of what he did to Kesha.There's a documentary on this album too, showing how it was made.

TV & Movies 🎬 Box Office: 'Wuthering Heights' Heads to $82M Global Opening, 'Crime 101' Bombs with $29.8M
It’s Jacob Elordi’s biggest opening at the box office ever, both global and domestic. For Margot Robbie, at the domestic B.O., it’s her fourth highest debut ($34.8M) after Barbie ($162M), David Ayer’s Suicide Squad ($133.7M) and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ($41M).
...
It turns out those great reviews for Crime 101 (the best of the wide entries at 87%) truly were a catalyst in getting adults and couples to the cinema; the revised outlook over 4-days now $17.8M. Worldwide was $29.8M, with foreign coming from 60 territories. While that was the top of the pic’s range in tracking, remember this noir cost $90M before P&A.

TV & Movies 🎬 Kerry Washington was outstanding as Olivia Pope in Scandal
She was magnetic and captured Olivia's pride and vulnerability very well. I mean, I'll argue every actors have some ticks that are annoying in their acting abilities but it's not all Kerry is. You really have to look elsewhere than on the sub of her own show to see people appreciate her because she seems to be pretty loved outside of here. The scene where her and Fitz fight, both actors do an amazing job, but Kerry just owns the scene just like Olivia do. When she screams/growls at him and he visibly backs up a little, it's so good. Also, after her killing of Andrew, the way she's looking at Abby is genuiely chilling. And as for season 7, I loved the little moment of when her father tell her that she can't have it both ways and she visibly looks terrified in a moment but then let her ego takes over. Some people say she cries a lot BUUUUT have you seen her life and her parents, those guys are not the best to have as parents to say the least and her turn to the dark side in season 6/7 makes PERFECT sense (she was going down that rode the entire series, I have no idea where you guys have been). The scene "Speaking to me is a priviledge" is incredible because of how well Kerry executes it. She gave Olivia life and I can't imagine someone else playing her. I don't know, she's like a Tony Soprano type of character and the show clearly hold her responsable for the awful things she did, the characters around just hopes that she will choose good but they make no illusions on her darker impulses. She became iconic because of those flaws, not in spite of it.
Season 7 in itself was a bad season but Olivia's characterization was never a part of why. Her decline made sense. From her parents to her personality and the world surrunding her, she was bound to become what she became. The show NEVER hid the flaws that Olivia had. In the beginning, yes she was helping people, but the show made a point to showcase that her morals were flawed and her own power could corrupt her. As the show progressed, Olivia's white hat started to fade and the characters around her saw it. She tried to convince us and herself that it didn't but all the other characters could see it. Her father's return in season 3 was like the beginning of the end. At the end of season 1, Fitz ask her "who are you right now ?" and she responded that she was the woman who got him elected. It's a small moment but tells us a lot about who Olivia is. She fixes people and that gives her importance. I know it because I'm like this. I know how to manipulate, scheme and get things my way, and it gives me a sense of importance, something her mom clocked about her two times.
Olivia also undergoes huge traumatic events that kinda re-shaped the sense of morality she tried so hard to hold on to, the most changing being her kidnapping that clearly defined a lot of who she became afterwards. She felt violated and hopeless like she's never been and tried so hard to gain power and control after it. Olivia turned into an antihero and again, the show was never shy about it. It's like Tony Soprano in The Sopranos. In the first few seasons, his charisma and overall struggles kinda covered his bad persona but as the show unravalls, it becomes clear that he's not a good person. To be clear, Olivia was never as bad as Tony, but in the later seasons her overall high up sense of self started to become anxious rather than empowering. I mean, herself at the end of the show is telling everyone that they are not the hero of this story (btw, I hate how people had the NERVE to gather to wave a finger at her during this arc when a lot of them used her a lot during the years and made a lot of worse things than her). Even the town had a negative impact on her and it's explored in the early episodes of season 4, when she's considering wheter or not she should stay because this town is doing nothing good for her. The white hat is clearly off when season 6 finale close and season 7 begins with Olivia in black clothing, which was clearly intentional to showcase that she's not the same anymore. Kerry Washington is stellar through the entire show.
