With Elton John, Britney Spears releases 1st new song since 2016

With Elton John, Britney Spears releases 1st new song since 2016

Britney Spears released her first new song in six years on Friday with the debut of "Hold Me Closer", a duet with British music legend Elton John. The track -- a dance-inflected take on John's 1970s ballad "Tiny Dancer", with elements of his later hit "The One" -- dropped less than a year after Spears won a court battle with her father, ending a conservatorship arrangement that gave him control over much of her life. "Okie dokie... my first song in 6 years!!!!" Spears wrote on Twitter. "It's pretty damn cool that I'm singing with one of the most classic men of our time." The cover art features childhood images of the two pop legends, who between them have 90 years' experience in the music business. In dusting off some of his 

own classics with the help of a younger artist, John is repeating a trick he pulled with last year's hit "Cold Heart", recorded with Dua Lipa. That track mashed up parts of several of his songs, most notably "Rocket Man". Spears' last release was the 2016 album "Glory". Since then, the singer -- a pop-chart colossus in the late 1990s and early 2000s -- has been in the spotlight as a result of the conservatorship that controlled her life for 13 years. In November, a Los Angeles judge formally approved the process of ending the controversial arrangement, which had given her father Jamie Spears control over almost all of her personal, professional and financial dealings. The multi-award-winning John -- properly Sir Elton John -- is one of Britain's most bankable stars, whose showmanship and musicality have left their mark on the performing arts.Since he first emerged in 1962, the singer -- born Reginald Dwight -- has been responsible for some of the most recognizable tunes in pop, including "Your Song", "Candle in the Wind" and "I'm Still Standing. Source: https://www.daily-bangladesh.com/

Miss England finalist Melisa Raouf creates history, is first woman in pageant's history to compete without makeup

AUG 29, 2022 Beauty pageant and makeup artistry are almost synonymous because of obvious presentation reasons. But one woman has made history by reaching the finals of a national beauty pageant without any makeup. Melisa Raouf, 20, is a politics student from London. By deciding to appear barefaced in Miss England this year, she became the first woman in the contest's 94-year-old history to compete without any makeup. The contest, which is organised by Angie Beasly every year, is promoted to thousands of women around England in local media. While organisers of the contest did introduce a 'Bare Faced' round in the 2019 edition, never in its history has a woman gone without makeup throughout. But Melisa has now changed that. The 20-year-old said she decided to compete barefaced in a bid to promote inner beauty and challenge the beauty ideals that are promoted and perpetuated by media, advertisers and social media. "It means a lot to me as I feel many girls of different ages wear makeup because they feel pressured to do so. If one is happy in their own skin we should not be made to cover up our face with makeup. Our flaws make us who we are and that's what makes every individual unique," the sold The Independent. "I think people should love and embrace their flaws and blemishes, as we know real beauty lies within simplicity. I never felt I met beauty standards. I have recently accepted that I am beautiful in my own skin and that's why I decided to compete with no makeup," she added. Melisa's noteworthy appearance and demeanor have earned praise from people all over the world. It has also received a response from the contest's organiser. "This is the first time I've seen a contestant completely makeup-free competing in a semi-final and she said she felt empowered against all the other contestants," said Beasley. The 20-year-old will compete with other 40 women for the Miss England crown on October 17. Copyright © Jammu Links News Source: Jammu Links News
