Zayn Malik responds to TMZ’s claims that he ignored fans outside his hotel: “Let's just get the facts straight - the fans were and always are respectful and amazing - the issue was the multiple fully grown men that were blocking the doors of the hotel and the car for 10 minutes not letting us or security out - they are not fans they are stalkers that show up where ever someone they want to meet is and do the same thing to everyone to try to get content. It is not safe and not ok and they ruin it for the real fans.”

@dfriend Thanks for the detail. If that’s the case there is a solution - which someone isn’t willing to negotiate.

@billcs Typically the venue passes control of the volume over to the crew of the artist on stage. I'm told often it's in their contract, so while certain levels noise can be controlled, things like the mix can be cranked, which is how you get the bass issue.

@blogTO So I take it the writer, who has taken to name-calling, is not fond of Councillor Bradford? 🤔

Seeing producers still talk about the sampling journey behind Lola’s Theme after all these years is something special ❤️ Hearing artists like @baauer speak about the record and its influence all these years later really means a lot. Music connecting generations

There's no legitimate reason for album credits not to be included upon initial release, and there's no enforcement mechanism. DSPs can't reject an album for missing credits. It's on the artist and their distributor. Unfortunate that 7 days later, ICEMAN still isn't updated.

@BrianZisook why didn’t drake list his producer and engineering credits on any of the DSPs? Is there specific reason to not include all who got splits?

@BrianZisook The more an artist I like engages with fans, the more I get interested in what they are doing. I think the days of “one way” socials are numbered, where artists are gate-kept by their label or choose not to have an online method to publicly engage with interested fans.

After all of the performances, my Top 5 are Denmark, Australia, Finland, Greece and France. The best of the last 5 to me was Austria though I also enjoyed Romania's performance. I'll be in transit during the voting so will be checking back after when I can. #Eurovision

After 20 songs, Finland joins Denmark and Australia in my Top 3. Sweden's entry was the best of the last 5, though more a feat of song production than anything else, and Lithuania's performance was bold and memorable. #Eurovision

After 15 songs, it's still Denmark and Australia and maybe Greece for me. I only liked songs by France - whose vocalist Monroe is only 17 with killer operatic notes - and Czechia in the last 5. #eurovision

After 10 songs, Australia joins Denmark as my only contenders. Props to Ukraine's Leleka for that soaring high note. Greece is a maybe for me with a fun presentation that could resonate with the public vote. #eurovision

@BrianZisook Songwriting credits also only appear to be by him, and we know from the past how much he samples and how many co-writes there have been. This appears to be very deliberate, having done this simple task myself for a small dance label years ago.

Drake used multiple beats on ICEMAN from producers he discovered online, providing them an incredible platform. The album was then released to DSPs without credits in the metadata, so none of them are earning any recognition. Always credit your producers.
