BIA Claps Back at Haters After Electrifying Summer Smash Performance

BIA Claps Back at Haters After Electrifying Summer Smash Performance

BIA is not holding back this year, making waves with a powerful performance at the Summer Smash festival on Saturday (June 15). Following her electrifying set, she sat down with Tallie Spencer for an exclusive interview, where she shared her candid thoughts on handling haters and criticism. This topic carries a new weight for the Massachusetts MC, especially in the wake of her public feud with Cardi B. However, BIA’s response was all about maintaining a positive outlook and not wasting energy on negativity.

“When I came out, I said ‘Fk that bh,'” BIA declared unapologetically. “That’s my message to my haters: Fk that bh. I don’t dwell on my haters because I’m so positive and having such a great time with my life. I try not to let outer interferences mess up my mood because I’m so grateful to be here. We’re having fun, like, who gets to do this for fun? We’re blessed, so I don’t let stuff like that bother my frequency.”

BIA’s gratitude is evident as she continues to achieve new milestones in her career. Recently, she dropped a hot new track, “LIGHTS OUT,” featuring JID for the Bad Boys: Ride Or Die soundtrack. This collaboration showcases her talent and versatility, solidifying her place in the industry. After a successful 2023, BIA is poised to make 2024 even bigger and better.

Fans are also buzzing with anticipation for a potential new collaboration with Nicki Minaj, teased back in August last year. While there’s no confirmation yet, the possibility of another banger from these two artists is exciting. Regardless of what’s next, one thing is certain: BIA’s work ethic and passion will continue to shine through in everything she does. The “Whole Lotta Money” star is too thankful for her success to give anything less than her best.

Album Review

Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”

Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.

Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.

“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.

The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.

The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
