Beyoncé Reveals Cover Art for New Album ‘Renaissance’

Beyoncé has unveiled the cover art for her new album Renaissance, which shows her riding atop a glowing, translucent horse. Check it out below.

In a statement accompanying the album art on Instagram, Beyoncé said: “Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world. It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving. My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration. I hope you find joy in this music. I hope it inspires you to release the wiggle. Ha! And to feel as unique, strong, and sexy as you are.”

Renaissance, the follow-up to 2016’s Lemonade, will be out on July 29. Beyoncé recently released its lead single, ‘Break My Soul’, which we named our Song of the Week.

Caribou Announces New Daphni Album ‘Cherry’, Releases New Song

After releasing the song ‘Cherry’ last month, Caribou’s Dan Snaith has announced an album of the same name under his Daphni moniker. Cherry comes out October 7 via Snaith’s own Jiaolong label, and it includes a new track called ‘Cloudy’. Check it out below, along with the album cover and tracklist.

“The essence of this one is keeping it aloft – like occasionally nudging a balloon that’s only just heavier than air to keep it afloat,” Snaith said of ‘Cloudy’ in a press release. “For something so buoyant, I’m surprised how much it bangs in a club.”

“There isn’t anything obvious that unifies it or makes it hang together,” Snaith added of the LP. “I think it was good that it was made without worrying about any of that. I just made it.”

Caribou’s last album as Daphni, Joli Mai, was released in 2017.

The A’s Release New Song ‘Wedding Dress’

The A’s, the duo of Sylvan Esso’s Amelia Meath and Daughter of Swords’ Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, have shared a new song, ‘Wedding Dress’. It’s lifted from their forthcoming debut album, Fruit, which is out on July 15 via Psychic Hotline.

Susie Merry Announces Debut EP ‘Body in Time’, Shares New Single ‘Weatherman’

London-based singer-songwriter Susie Merry has announced her debut EP, Body in Time, with the new single ‘Weatherman’. The EP comes out September 8. Listen to ‘Weatherman’ below.

“’Weatherman’ is about one day being smacked in the face with the realisation that you have ended up somewhere completely different from where you first intended (and not in a fun, interesting way),” Merry explained in a press release. “That we can do the same thing over and over, and be so habitual without being intentional, that we don’t really feel recognisable to ourselves anymore.”

She continued: “Why do we feel so duty-bound to things that might actually be harmful to us in the long run? Can we break free of that expectation to be dutiful in order to be happy? People make a lot of prescribed choices – and I don’t think that’s always a bad thing – but it doesn’t work for everyone all of the time. That was what I was trying to explore.”

Matilda Mann Unveils New Song ‘Hell’

London singer-songwriter Matilda Mann has dropped a new song called ‘Hell’, which follows recent singles of ‘Nice’ and ‘Four Leave Dream’. Give it a listen below.

“I think this time, it’s more than just releasing a song,” Mann said in a statement about ‘Hell’. “I’m going to be talking about a really big part of why I write and show such a vulnerable side of myself to strangers. The subject of sexual assault is always something I’ve struggled to talk about, so I guess the main way I’ve been able to face it, is through music. I hope releasing this song, starts conversations. Conversations between friends/family/trusted ones. Helps people, who have been coping by themselves. Making the subject less scary and open.”

BATTS Announces New Album ‘The Nightline’, Releases New Song

BATTS has announced a new album called The Nightline. The follow-up to Tanya Batt’s 2019 debut The Grand Tour arrives on October 14 via Mistletone/I Feel Fine Records. The record features the previously released single ‘Blue’, a collaboration with Sharon Van Etten, as well as the new song ‘Call It What It Is’. Check it out below.

Batt started writing ‘Call It What It Is’ after she was hit by a car; a badly injured hand left her unable to play the guitar, so she wrote the song one-handed on the piano. “I find moving and dancing to be so healing,” she said in a statement. “I really wanted to create a song that hits you right in the chest and makes you want to move every part of your body. This song feels like a fierce sort of movement, like you really need to move to the sounds. They aren’t pretty, they are forceful in a releasing sort of way and perfectly placed together to help you move. I hope this song helps people get something out, release something from their body they have been keeping inside.'”

Celebrities who advertised online casinos and betting

There are a lot of celebrities who advertised casinos and betting. There is a big fanbase online following for famous people interested in online internet gambling, particularly those who have found success in online advertisements. Their online casino endorsements have cost some of the world’s well-known gambling companies a significant portion of their marketing budgets.

Many well-known people have previously praised online casinos, which has resulted in an influx of new customers to online gambling sites. Of course, not every online blackjack real money operator is endorsed by a star who likes to bet. And yes, if you’re wondering if every celebrity still doing great, don’t worry – they do! Online sponsorships of the best online casinos are becoming more popular. People like them for a variety of reasons, including the chance to win large sums of money on online gambling, the excitement of playing online betting dynamic activities, and the adrenaline rush that a celebrity may like. Advertising in the gaming sector is unnecessary. There is a lot of rivalry among poker rooms, therefore all of them should be constantly promoting themselves. Some of the world’s best-known actors and entertainers are being sought out by entertainment establishments in an effort to boost revenue.

More And More Celebrities Endorsing Casinos

All kinds of individuals enjoy sports betting with exhilarating thrills. So, it’s no surprise that a trip to Las Vegas to partake in a variety of table events is on many adults’ bucket lists. Craps, blackjack, roulette, poker, and a slew of other events all appear to attract players with little or no marketing. Any marketer’s dream comes true here. This right is reserved for those who own hotels along the Strip and like $1 deposit casino adventures. When it comes to promoting entertainment activities and websites, things become a lot more difficult. The competition is harsh, ruthless, and copious, making it exceedingly difficult to make oneself stand out. Employing an endorser is a common marketing strategy for similar services.

1.     Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo, who is known as the “King of Ads,” has earned a fortune from sponsorship deals and by partnering with houses to promote their products. In 2015, he secured an agreement with Poker Stars to serve as the company’s worldwide ambassador. He’s been playing poker for years and says he’s always loved the rush it gives him.

2.     Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton is someone who is as renowned today as she was when she first appeared on the show. Hilton has been bringing in a steady stream of female customers to casino games for beginners since 2016. It’s only natural that she’s been connected with internet entertainment activities from the outset.

3.     Mike Tyson

Since retiring from boxing, Mike Tyson is a person who has been more renowned for his business deals and endorsements than for his infamous uppercut during his tenure as the heavyweight champion of the world. Tyron Tyson has completed a one-year sponsorship arrangement to serve as the spokesperson for Parimatch sports house in Cyprus and across the Commonwealth of Independent States.

4.     Nicki Minaj

Sports and a company, MaximBet has teamed with rapper Nicki Minaj and made her its face. MaximBet and Maxim magazine will have the MC as a special adviser, and investor. Along with her iGaming responsibilities, Minaj was also working with MaximBet’s gaming division. She has acquired the first entrepreneur to sign on as a worldwide spokesperson, special adviser, and shareholder in the Carousel Group.

5.     Conor McGregor

Parimatch’s commercial featuring the former UFC double-weight world champion has to be viewed to be trusted! For UFC fans, Parimatch is a firm that may be more recognized, considering how much money it has spent attempting to get fight fans into using it. Conor McGregor became the brand ambassador of Parimatch which was announced in February by the company’s CEO, Sergey Portnov: “Much the same as Parimatch, Conor McGregor strives to be unique.

6.     Neymar

Almost everyone who is a football fan has a soft spot for this legendary player. Now that Neymar Jr has been in Brazil, he’s one of the world’s top five top soccer players. PokerStars has teamed up with one of today’s best players because of this. The captain of Brazil publishes on its social media accounts as part of this relationship. In addition, Neymar Jr competes in live poker tournaments where he competes against some of the world’s most recognized players.

7.     Jose Mourinho

Legendary Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, who trained players like Zlatan Ibrahimović, for instance, joined Paddy Power late last year, and his advertising agency, VCCP, launched the “Don’t believe you’re exceptional” campaign on television.

Big companies have decided to focus their TV and radio commercials on “safer playing” themes in the wake of the Premier League’s suspension. While opponents allege this is being done to lure football bettors to enjoy their games, they expressed no such pledge in their internet advertising.

8.     Drake

Drake is a self-confident gambler as well as a talented rapper. In December 2021, HipHopDX claimed that the rapper had placed over 1 million dollars on Stake corporation. He is reportedly working with Stake for the betterment of the site, thanks in part to a large amount of time spent there by virtual gamblers. It was revealed that Drake and Stake cooperation will be working together on a live event in an Instagram post shared by both companies. With his “God’s Plan” music video as a guide, he plans to distribute his money.

Conclusion

The use of sports individuals to promote entertainment goods is a successful strategy for attracting new customers. Promoting firms’ goods via well-known sports persons would undoubtedly be beneficial due to their global fan bases and followings. The gaming sector hasn’t been left behind in terms of innovation. Even though it’s worth millions, some hosts like the Indianapolis Colts and their main players, like Andrew Luck, pay athletes to promote for them in exchange for sponsorship.

Elfman continued: “There’s a tremendous amount of diversity represented throughout, and I couldn’t be more excited to announce the record with Iggy’s version of ‘Kick Me,’ which not only serves as a reinvention of the song vocally, but instrumentally as well. This record became such an enjoyment of experimentation and relinquishing control of my own work in a way that I’ve never done before.”

Making this record was me trying to get up and shake it off and look at all of it. It was the first step in untangling myself and really trying to look at the rock under the moss.”

Commenting on the single, she added: “’Thérèse’ is inspired by a painting but about feeling hemmed in and stuck. Stuck as the version of yourself that someone else created.”
