Sam Smith Gets In A Dancehall Groove With Koffee And Jessie Reyez In Their New Single ‘Gimme’

Sam Smith dabbles in dancehall music in their new single “Gimme” which was released today (January 11). The British superstar teamed up with Jamaican artist Koffee, and Jessie Reyez for the sexy track.

“Gimme” is the third single from Smith’s upcoming album Gloria. With the help of Koffee, Smith gets into a dancehall groove. Rising R&B singer Reyez sings the infectious chorus where she repeatedly sings, “Gimme what I want.” Smith soulfully croons about a hot-and-heavy romance with sexual double-entendres in the mix. Koffee turns up the heat with her fiery guest verse while bringing some Jamaican authenticity to Smith’s bedroom banger.

“I’m a sexual person,” Smith said in a statement about the song, which they described as “filthy!” They added, “I Iike sex. It’s something I’m teaching myself to not be ashamed of. Me and Jessie were basically drunk, drinking whisky in Jamaica, two in the morning, running around absolutely wasted, like two girlfriends having a laugh.”

The music video for “Gimme” will be released soon. Smith scored a global hit last year with “Unholy” featuring German pop star Kim Petras. In October, the song climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Smith’s Gloria album will be released on January 27. Reyez will serve as an opening act on the North American leg of Gloria The Tour, which kicks off in July.

Prince Harry Admits That He, Like Many Other Viewers, Watches And Fact Checks ‘The Crown’

It seems natural to wonder if people who inspired various TV shows would want to watch said TV shows to see what was or wasn’t true, and how it was portrayed. Most of the time, it seems like anyone who has a series based on them and their family would not want to tune in. Would you really want to watch a show inspired by you if it painted you in a not-so-good light? Probably not, unless your actor portrayal is really good. But the royals are a different story!

We all know how much familial drama and generational secrets those Royals must have, so it makes sense that there is a very popular Netflix series that dramatizes the family and their stories over the last 70 years. But it would also make sense if the highly-criticized family wouldn’t want to see how their world is perceived, as many members of the Royal Family are. Lucky for Prince Harry, he left that lifestyle, so he is free to binge like the rest of us.

While promoting his overly indulgent biography, Prince Harry revealed that he is a fan of the show. “Yes, I have watched some of The Crown,” he told Stephen Colbert in a new interview. Colbert then asked if he has seen all of the show, which spans several decades. “The older stuff and the more recent stuff,” he added. Season five of the series debuted in November.

Colbert then pressed the former royal to see if he would fact-check the show’s historical events. “Yes, I do actually,” he joked while pretending to take notes. “Which, by the way, is another reason why it’s so important that history has it right.” This is exactly the reason why Prince Harry has written his own tell-all book, so that nobody else would be able to report that he had frost-bite on his penis while attending his brother’s wedding. Isn’t family amazing?

Prince Harry’s season of The Crown will likely air sometime in the next 50 years, so that is something to look forward to because we know it will be very accurate! Check out the clip below:

Cordae Will Soon Join The Ranks Of Rap Dads As Naomi Osaka Announced Her Pregancy

The past few years have seen a slew of top rappers newly touting the joys of parenthood; Big Sean, Cardi B, Drake, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj, and Pusha T have all crossed the threshold, bringing “dad rap” that much closer to being a legit genre. The latest rapper to potentially join those ranks is Cordae, whose girlfriend, tennis superstar Naomi Osaka, just announced her pregnancy on social media. Osaka, who is one of her sport’s highest-paid athletes, posted a photo of an ultrasound, as well as a typed statement. It reads:

The past few years have been interesting to say the least, but I find that its the most challenging times in life that may be the most fun. These few months away from the sport has really given me a new love and appreciation for the game I’ve dedicated my life to. I realize that life is so short and I don’t take any moments for granted, everyday is a new blessing and adventure. I know that I have so much to look forward to in the future, one thing I’m looking forward to is for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, “that’s my mom”, haha. 2023 will be a year that’ll be full of lessons for me and I hope I’ll see you guys in the start of the next one cause I’ll be at Aus 2024. Love you all infinitely.

Sidenote : I don’t think there’s a perfectly correct path to take in life but I always felt that if you move forward with good intentions you’ll find your way eventually.

Cordae, whose album From A Bird’s Eye View was counted among Uproxx’s Best Hip-Hop Albums of 2022, has yet to make a statement, but as he told Uproxx in his cover story last October, he doesn’t even have most social media apps installed on his phone, so maybe we just have to wait until he finds a good wi-fi connection. In any case, congrats to the couple!

Putin Is Trying To Restore His Tough Guy Image By Flipping Out On Subordinates Whenever They Correct Him

As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to be an embarrassing failure for Vladimir Putin, the Russian leader has reportedly adopted a new tactic for asserting his tough guy image: yelling at subordinates whenever they’re right about something and he’s wrong. That’s one way to distract from reports that Putin fell down the steps and pooped himself, we guess.

During a meeting with Russian officials on Wednesday, Putin reportedly flipped out when Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov publicly corrected him not once, but three times over the state of construction projects for a new aircraft. Putin insisted that there are no new construction orders for 2023, which is not the case, and he did not respond well when Manturoy repeatedly informed him that there are orders ready for the year.

Via The Daily Beast:

“Let’s finish this, what’s the point of sparring here with you? The directors told me [there are no contracts]. Really, why are you playing the fool?” he scolded Manturov, demanding he get the job in a month and “no later.”

Russian state media appeared to seize on the confrontation to play up Putin’s macho image, reporting on his dressing down of Manturov but leaving out the trade minister’s initial comments that there were in fact contracts for the year.

Put also tried to save face by declaring that all of the problems Russian forces are facing in the Ukraine are about to be fixed any minute now. Everything’s going to be cool. Don’t even worry about it.

“None of what our enemy predicted for us happened,” Putin said. “And this is, of course, thanks primarily to the citizens of Russia, their composure, all of our composure, readiness for challenges and to work in difficult conditions.”

Music Streaming Set A New Record By Crossing The Trillion-Play Threshold In 2022, With R&B And Hip-Hop At The Helm

Musicians and industry professionals have a well-documented obsession with chart placement. However, now in the dawn of streaming, there’s a growing pressure to deliver in other analytical ways, including streaming numbers. With physical albums sales continuing to fall, artists like Billie Eilish, Drake, and Ed Sheeran have all dominated across streaming platforms.

Although, traditional music medium such as vinyls seeing a huge spike in popularity, with artist like Taylor Swift and Adele (much to the displeasure of independent artists) including it in their album rollouts, streaming remains in the top spot of music activity. In fact, according to Luminate, the entertainment and data insight company behind Billboard‘s chart tracking, “on-demand song streams (audio and video combined) increased 12.2% to 1.268 trillion,” marking “the first time that yearly U.S. on-demand audio streams surpassed 1 trillion.”

The report revealed that “29% of all on-demand audio streams in the U.S. in 2022 were R&B/hip-hop songs.” No further information was provided for what role other genres play in this milestone.

Digital streaming platforms have like Apple Music and Spotify have continued to introduced new features to increase users’ app usage. Last year, Apple Music introduced Apple Music Sing, which gives subscribers an elevated experience with their favorite songs through enhanced karaoke abilities. While, Spotify expanded their Spotify Wrapped data points to include mood breakdowns and personality points of users most popular songs.

Just Run Over The Murder Doll With Your Car

HEY

HEY

LISTEN

JUST RUN OVER THE MURDER DOLL WITH YOUR CAR

FREAKING FLATTEN IT

IF YOU THINK IT DID A MURDER

OR EVEN IF YOU THINK IT MIGHT DO A MURDER

OR IF YOU SUSPECT IT OF OTHER CRIMES

LIKE MAYBE IF YOU THINK A LIFELIKE DOLL MIGHT BE STEALING YOUR IDENTITY ONLINE WHEN YOU ARE SLEEPING

CHARGING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF DOLL DRESSES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD

THAT’S NOT OKAY, EITHER

DRAG IT INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND SMUSH IT

EVEN IF IT JUST LOOKS AT YOU WEIRD ONE TIME

LIKE, IF YOUR DOLL LOOKS AT YOU LIKE THIS

M3GAN
BLUMHOUSE

OR THIS

M
BLUMHOUSE

OR THIS

M
BLUMHOUSE

THAT SHOULD BE IT

PUT IT DOWN BEHIND YOUR REAR TIRES AND ROLL RIGHT OVER IT

THEN PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND RUN OVER IT AGAIN FORWARDS

SPLINTER THAT DEAD-EYED FREAK

IT’S NOT EVEN A CRIME

YOU CAN’T GO TO JAIL FOR RUNNING OVER YOUR OWN DOLL ON PURPOSE IN YOUR DRIVEWAY

THE NEIGHBORS MIGHT LOOK AT YOU WEIRD, I GUESS

BUT I BET THEY’D PREFER HAVING A STRANGE NEIGHBOR WHO RUNS OVER DOLLS SOMETIMES THAN BEING MURDERED BY A KNIFE-WIELDING PLASTIC DEMON

YOU ARE DOING THEM A FAVOR

EVEN IF THEY DON’T REALIZE IT

YOU CAN’T BE TOO CAREFUL

IT’S HAPPENED TOO MANY TIMES

THE THING WHERE A DOLL DOES MURDER

REMEMBER CHUCKY?

REMEMBER ANNABELLE?

AND NOW M3GAN?

LOOK AT THIS THING

M
BLUMHOUSE

ABSOLUTELY NOT

YOU HAVE TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY

YOU HAVE TO PROTECT THE COMMUNITY

FROM THE MURDER

DON’T WORRY ABOUT HOW PEOPLE LOOK AT YOU WHEN YOU DO IT

PEOPLE PROBABLY THOUGHT BATMAN WAS WEIRD AT FIRST, TOO

“WHY IS THAT GUY DRESSING LIKE A BAT TO FIGHT CRIME?”

“WHY ISN’T HE DRESSED LIKE SOMETHING SCARIER, LIKE A DINOSAUR OR A BEAR WITH CIRCULAR SAWS FOR HANDS?”

DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT

IT’S FOR YOUR PROTECTION, SHARON

JESUS CHRIST

RUN OVER ALL YOUR DOLLS, ACTUALLY

ONE COULD COME TO LIFE TONIGHT AND HAVE VIOLENCE IN ITS HEART

YOU DON’T KNOW

PUT ALL THE DOLLS IN A SACK RIGHT NOW AND CRUNCH THEM UNDER THE WHEELS OF YOUR SUBARU

OR AT LEAST SET ALL OF THEM UP IN THE YARD FACED TOWARD THE DRIVEWAY WHILE YOU RUN OVER ONE

TO SEND A MESSAGE

ALTHOUGH THAT MIGHT BACKFIRE

THAT COULD LEAD TO A “JOHN WICK’S DOG” SITUATION

WHERE THE DOLLS ARE OUT FOR REVENGE NOW

ALSO, THAT WOULD BE EVEN TOUGHER TO EXPLAIN TO THE NEIGHBORS

JUST RUN THEM ALL OVER

RUN OVER ALL THE MURDER DOLLS

AND POTENTIAL MURDER DOLLS

ANY TOY WITH EYES

DON’T RUN OVER THE MUPPETS, THOUGH

THEY’RE COOL

ALL THE REST, THOUGH

TO BE SAFE

LISTEN TO ME

THANK YOU

Noted Vote Counter/Former Crack Addict Mike Lindell Claims He Has The Votes To Become Chairman Of The Republican Party

Just before losing another round of voting, Kevin McCarthy smugly told a member of the press that he knew he had the Speaker of the House gig in the bag because “I can count.” Humiliation soon followed. Now, as Insider reports, Mike Lindell might be ready to follow a similar path.

While humiliation is certainly not a new feeling for Lindell, he might want to take a cue from McCarthy’s misguided confidence. For a man who hawks sh*tty pillows via creepy infomercials for a living, he sure does fancy himself a politico. And we can probably blame Donald Trump for that. Over the past several years, the Pillow Man — and longtime crack addict — has reportedly sank about $40 million of his own money into trying to prove that the 2020 presidential election was rigged (it was not). And while he has promised to share plenty of damning information over the years, the most monumental thing to come from his many baseless claims about rigged elections just might be the $1.3 billion lawsuit that was filed against him by Dominion Voting Systems (not to mention similar lawsuits filed against Fox News and other media networks that allowed him to spew his meritless accusations).

But following the 2022 midterms — and the lack of the predicted red wave — Lindell took his political obsessions one step further by announcing his plans to knock longtime RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel out of the top spot and take her job. And now, like McCarthy before him, the pillow scion is claiming that he’s got the votes to win!

On Monday evening, the pillow magnate told Insider that he has “locked in” the votes he needs to make sure he can knock McDaniel out of the position she has held for the past five years.

“It’ll be like, what you’ve just seen happening in our Congress here, you know,” Lindell told Insider. “There’s gonna be multiple votes, and there’s a three-way race, and we all stay in until somebody gets to 85.”

“I have plenty of states now,” Lindell continued. “I believe she’s well under 85; with my math, I’d say somewhere around 70 to 75.”

Whether Lindell’s math is any good remains to be seen.

Damar Hamlin Was Released From The Hospital And Will Rehab At Home And With The Bills

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is headed home. According to a statement released by the team on Wednesday, Hamlin, who was moved to a hospital in Buffalo on Monday after spending the previous week hospitalized in Cincinnati, was discharged from Buffalo General Medical Center/Gates Vascular Institute and will continue his rehabilitation with the team and at home.

The Bills announced the news on their official Twitter account, saying that Hamlin underwent a series of tests that make his doctors “confident that Damar can be safely discharged.”

Hamlin has been hospitalized since last Monday when Buffalo traveled to Cincinnati to play the Bengals. During the game’s first quarter, Hamlin made a tackle on Bengals receiver Tee Higgins. Hamlin got up before collapsing and needing CPR on the field, as he went into cardiac arrest and needed to be taken away from the stadium via an ambulance. In the ensuing days, doctors were able to determine that Hamlin was “neurologically intact,” and he was eventually able to have a breathing tube removed, which let him communicate with his teammates and coaches.

The Bills will kick off their postseason on Sunday when the team plays host to the Miami Dolphins. The game is scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.

Beabadoobee Brought The Magnetic Indie Pop Vibes In Her New Live KEXP Performance

On November 21, 2022, Beabadoobee dropped by the famous KEXP studio to give a live performance of some of her most popular songs. She kicked off the set, which KEXP just recently shared in full, with “10:36,” using a blue electric guitar to her benefit as she jams out on the indie rock track. She also brought a backing band, complete with a drummer, bassist, and an additional guitarist.

As the announcer noted, “10:36” appeared on Beabadoobee’s most recent album, Beatopia, which dropped last July. “It’s so good,” the KEXP speaker said after the song. “We’re just doing a little instrument change here.”

From there, Beabadoobee played another album cut with “Talk,” which features some incredibly hypnotic instrumental solos. “Still not sure if I’ve seen you before,” she sang.

She finished the set with “Don’t Get The Deal” and “The Perfect Pair.”

“I wasn’t ready for a debut for the first couple of years,” she previously told Uproxx in 2021, a year before Beatopia dropped. “It took me a few years to get there. It was building my way up to that. I didn’t want to just make the same type of music for the rest of my life, I discovered new music and artists along the way, and that influenced me.”

Watch Beabadoobee’s full KEXP performance above.
