Lizzo has a message of positivity for followers following Donald Trump’s election win this week. 

Two days after Election Day ended with the twice-impeached former POTUS securing his second term in the White House, the 36-year-old musician shared a video on Instagram captioned with a simple rainbow emoji Thursday (Nov. 7). In the clip, only Lizzo’s hands are visible as she writes on a sheet of printer paper: “Sending LOVE to everyone in the WORLD.” 

The Grammy winner paired the video with Beautiful Chorus’ ethereal “Faith Hymn.” 

The post marks Lizzo’s first since the election concluded, resulting in Kamala Harris – whom the “About Damn Time” artist had championed throughout the 2024 race – after a whirlwind three-month campaign taking over the Democratic ticket for President Joe Biden. Before the results came in Tuesday (Nov. 5), Lizzo posted a photo of herself meeting the VP and wrote, “Today’s the day! Let’s win this💙❤️🤍” 

In July, right after Harris’ campaign kicked off, Lizzo defended the former prosecutor against critics who accused the politician of not doing anything during her term as vice presidency. “For everyone saying that Kamala Harris didn’t do anything when she was VP, please, for $5,000, do not use Google, tell me what any vice president has ever done during their term that was notable that you noticed,” she said in an Instagram video at the time. “Can we all just be for real? Let’s all be for real and say our quiet parts out loud, because the discourse is tired.”  

Lizzo is just the latest musician who’s posted since Trump won the election. Many of the musicians who also endorsed Harris this election – Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Cardi B and more – have also spoken out over the past 36 hours, while Jack Antonoff recently tweeted to his followers, “do not be cynical. do not have the conversation alone in your head. go be together. be around those who do not assume the worst of you.”

Colombia has a new reggaeton anthem at the helm of genre giants Karol G, J Balvin, Maluma, Feid, Blessd, and Ryan Castro titled “+57” out Thursday (Nov. 7).

Named after the area code in Colombia, the sensual, mid-tempo futuristic perreo finds the Colombian powerhouses singing about a girl from Medellín who’s all-that, fierce, unstoppable, and the center of attention—even though she’s in a relationship. “They ask her if she has a boyfriend, it depends,” says part of the lyrics.

Helmed by Latin Grammy-winning hitmaker and Karol’s longtime producer, Ovy on the Drums, “+57” was co-written by all of the artists alongside Keityn and newcomer DFZM, who’s signed to Keityn’s management hub, La Creme. It was recorded in one session in Los Angeles after Ovy presented the song to Karol and she ultimately gathered her colleagues for the statement-making collab—none of them aware of the song until they met at the recording studio.

“It’s a dream that I assure you that neither I, nor my team, nor my family could have imagined. We always saw ourselves as super big but we never imagined it would happen so quickly,” singer-songwriter DFZM, who originally penned the track with Keityn before presenting it to Ovy, tells Billboard exclusively. “For me it’s very important to be representing the Valle del Cauca, Buenaventura, those young people with dreams and talent. Representing black people, the culture, it’s very nice for me to be able to be part of history.”

Ovy was the first to tease the track, posting a short video on Instagram where fans can hear Balvin shouting out all the collaborators. Meanwhile, Ovy and Karol are dancing along to the reggaetón beat.

A couple of days later, a group photo in the recording studio was shared by each of the artists on social media, hinting that something major was dropping on November 7. The title was also revealed in the description.

Listen to “+57” below:

Rashida Jones is paying tribute to her father, iconic musical powerhouse Quincy Jones, who died on Nov. 3 at 91 years old.

The 48-year-old Parks and Recreation actress took to Instagram on Thursday (Nov. 7) to share a photo of herself as an infant, snuggled up against her late father’s face. “My dad was nocturnal his whole adult life. He kept ‘jazz hours’ starting in high school and never looked back,” she began in her heartwarming caption. “When I was little, I would wake up in the middle of the night to search for him. Undoubtedly, he would be somewhere in the house, composing (old school, with a pen and sheet music). He would never send me back to bed. He would smile and bring me into his arms while he continued to work…there was no safer place in the world for me.”

She continued, “He was a giant. An icon. A culture shifter. A genius. All accurate descriptions of my father but his music (and ALL of his work) was a channel for his love. He WAS love. He made everyone he ever met feel loved and seen. That’s his legacy.”

Rashida wrapped up her post by writing, “I was fortunate enough to experience this love in close proximity. I’ll miss his hugs and kisses and unconditional devotion and advice. Daddy, it is an honor to be your daughter. Your love lives forever.”

In his illustrious, more than 70-year career, Quincy won 28 Grammys and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He has worked with icons from Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson, for whom he produced the best-selling albums Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad. After he took over the A&R sector at Mercury Records in 1961, Quincy became the first African-American to serve as a VP at a major label. He was also the first Black composer to receive name recognition for his film work.

Along with Rashida, he’s survived by six more of his children: Jolie, Rachel, Martina, Quincy III, Kidada and Kenya.

BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ is set to take on the fiery challenge of Hot Ones.

First We Feast, the channel behind the show, announced her appearance on Nov. 5, teasing, “This week on Hot Ones, we got Rosé vs. The Wings of Death. 💀 Tune in Thursday @ 11AM ET.”

also announced the news over Instagram: “Hi everyone. This is Rosé. Uh I’ll be on Hot Ones this week. Please tune in to see me kill it. Or maybe not. We’ll see.”

In her Hot Ones episode teaser clips that dropped Nov. 6, ROSÉ didn’t hold back on her love for spice — though she wondered just how far she could go with the “Wings of Death.” “I like spicy food,” she said, adding, “But I don’t know if I like spicy spicy.”

As the heat began to kick in, she joked, “By the way, my tongue is built differently. It’s built different.” Built different.”

Asked about the inspiration behind her new single “APT.” featuring Bruno Mars, ROSÉ explained it was rooted in a playful cultural moment. “APT” is a tribute to a traditional Korean drinking game called “aparteu” (or “apartment” in English), and it’s also the first single from her anticipated debut album, Rosie, set for release on Dec. 6.

“It’s a Korean drinking game APT, one, two, three, four, five, six,” she said. “Whoever gets the top takes the shot.”

Shifting to her craft, she also discussed her vocal technique, explaining the difference between chest and head voice. “I’ve set the key too high,” she laughed, adding, “That’s the difference, I guess, right?”

ROSÉ’s latest hit is taking the music world by storm, smashing records left and right. The catchy tune has been dominating charts globally. In a massive debut, “APT.” soared to the top spot on both Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, and held its crown for two straight weeks.

Down Under, ROSÉ’s Aussie fans have shown their love in spades. “APT.” rocketed to No. 1 on the ARIA Singles Chart, making her the first solo female K-pop artist to conquer the Aussie charts. Not only that, but she’s kept the top spot warm for multiple weeks – a feat not seen since PSY’s “Gangnam Style” back in 2012.

In a recent PAPER Magazine interview, she discussed how online criticism inspired one of the album’s most personal tracks, stating, “I realised how vulnerable and addicted I was to this [online] world and that craving for feeling like I wanted to be loved and understood.”

Born in Auckland and raised in Melbourne, ROSÉ moved to South Korea at 15 to pursue music, eventually joining BLACKPINK.

Her 2021 single “On the Ground” was the first song by a Korean solo artist to top both Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts. She has also ranked No. 79 on Billboard’s Artist 100 chart.

Fans can watch ROSÉ’s Hot Ones episode on Thursday at 11 AM ET to see how she handles the heat.

Los Temerarios were initially supposed to play two shows in Chicago as part of their Hasta Siempre farewell tour, but it quickly expanded to a total of five nonconsecutive shows at the Allstate Arena. Chicago wasn’t the exception. The number of shows in big Latin markets, including Los Angeles, Dallas and Houston, doubled or tripled soon after the tour was announced. It’s something that David Zamora, CEO of Zamora Live – the trek’s promoter – had prepared for.

“When we were routing the tour, we held multiple dates with the assumption that, since it is the farewell tour, we would be adding shows,” explains Zamora. “I think all this shows how much the fans love Los Temerarios and how much they will be missed. These are memories to last a lifetime.”

On Wednesday (Nov. 6), the Mexican band – led by brothers Adolfo and Gustavo Ángel – performed the second of its string of shows at the Allstate where thousands of fans gathered to see Los Temerarios one last time together. Gustavo and Adolfo, who founded the group in the 80s, announced last year they were separating after more than four decades together, and a total of 41 entries on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart and 46 entries on Top Latin Albums — more than any other Latin act in history.

On this particular night, the crowd skewed older millennial, many decked out in Temerarios merch. They were there to celebrate a band whose music has helped heal many broken hearts. “It takes me back to when I was a teen and I’d be sad in my room because my boyfriend had just broken up with me. Those are the songs I’d listen to,” says Yvette, who was there with a group of friends. “Their music means so much to me. It’s nostalgia, it’s Mexico,” adds her friend Lucia, who gets almost emotional.

As concertgoers filled every single seat of the arena — that has a capacity of nearly 20,000 people — the show kicked off at 8:30 p.m. with Adolfo, on keyboards, and frontman Gustavo taking the stage with their five-member live band in tow. The crowd, on their feet for most of the nearly three-hour show, roared at the sight of the brothers, who gave each a high five before embarking on the nostalgia-filled journey.

“What a beautiful welcome,” Gustavo said. ”We are very blessed to have you here tonight. It is the type of support you have shown us for so many years. We have so many memories here in this city, where we’ve performed since 1985.”

Los Temerarios performed its signature romantic love songs that have made zealous fans swoon over and over again, including “Mi Vida Eres Tú,” “Eres Un Sueño,” “Como te Recuerdo,” “Dímelo,” “La Mujer Que Soñé,” “La Mujer de Los Dos” and “Ven Porque Te Necesito,” just to name a few from the packed setlist. From cumbia grupera to rancheras and pop ballads, Adolfo and Gustavo showcased their vast catalog singing all the big hits for their last hoorah.

The brothers mainly stayed in place. Adolfo, who occasionally flashed shy smiles to his loyal followers, behind the keyboards and Gustavo being the charismatic frontman who knows exactly what to say and do to rile up the crowd. Both are perfectly in synch, after all they’ve been doing those for many years.

“My heart is feeling very emotional,” Adolfo added at one point. “I’m sorry if you suddenly feel that I’m overcome with emotion, but my heart overflows with gratitude. We are going to play all the songs you want. Our shows are usually last two hours long, but today we are going to play for three hours. We hope you have an unforgettable night. We will never forget you. Thank you, always.”

Worthy of a farewell show, Los Temerarios delivered an epic set, one that didn’t need for elaborate bits, complex choreographies or even a bombastic production. It was just Adolfo and Gustavo doing what they do best: sing from the heart the songs that have soundtracked Hispanic multigenerational homes for decades.

Los Temerarios’ Hasta Siempre Tour continues with three additional shows in Chicago from Nov. 7-9, and stops in Portland, Anaheim, Calif., and two BMO Stadium concerts in Los Angeles. On tour since February 2023, the Mexican band will end the trek in Mexico City in December.
