Culture Uncut Exclusive:
Ryan Ross Hernandez's Return to Music Is Imminent



Earlier this week fans were sent into a frenzy as Ryan Ross Hernandez posted on his official Instagram account for the first time in four years, what appears to be a picture from a recent photoshoot. Culture Uncut can exclusively report from multiple sources we've spoken to that Hernandez's return to the music scene is "imminent." Our sources have confirmed that at least a half dozen new songs have been registered under RRH on RIAA's (Recording Industry Association of America) online music database including one titled "Darkness in the Light / Light in the Darkness" which would go along with the caption on RRH's latest Instagram post. Adding to these claims, the guitarist was pictured leaving the Studio 60 headquarters in West Hollywood this past Tuesday, July 14th, while wearing a mask aimed the COVID-19 crisis still affecting the United States.

A representative for Studio 60 confirmed to Culture Uncut that Hernandez's previously announced album "Sex with Former Lovers" which was set to feature his 2016 singles "The Younger Heart" and "Don't Read the Headlines" is no longer on their release schedule. "Ryan Ross Hernandez made the decision to scrap the album once it was in the mastering stage in the fall of 2016." While it's not yet known why the completed record was cancelled, the Studio 60 rep assures us that new music from Hernandez will be released when "[Hernandez] feels like the time is right."

Studio 60 and reps of Hernandez were not willing to confirm a date for a single or possible comeback performance, but it appears we are not far off from seeing arguably one of the most popular solo male artist of the past twenty years making a return to the industry he vanished from four years ago. His hiatus still holds a level of mystery to it. "The Younger Heart" a sexually-driven song wildly speculated to be about fellow pop star Izzy Merjos, charted at number one on the charts and its follow-up "Don't Read the Headlines" presumably about rapper Miami, received critical acclaim upon release. It's not known why Hernandez decided to walk away from his music career as well as other side projects he had on the table given his Netflix deal to produce his second television series, but we hope these questions may be answered in the near future. Perhaps the biggest question weighing on the minds of some is where his love life stands for the 42-year old lothario, who is known as much for his music as he is for the famous women he has dated.

PRÓXIMO's Comeback to Music Goes Viral Across Social Media Platforms!



The viral #IWannaDanceChallenge has given the 5-piece boyband a whole new lease of life in 2020.


It's been nearly four years since PROXIMO released their debut single, "Day Dreaming." The song remains one of the band's best-known, most popular works, and was a summer 2017 mainstay — but music lovers in 2020 just got reintroduced to the 5-piece Latin band in a mindblowing way. Through the expression of dance.

PRÓXIMO returned to music this week with a new single entitled "I Wanna", which premiered along it’s music video after the band were on a four year hiatus which is said to have been due to management issues. The music video featured fun, yet intense dance choreography during a packed out hotel party, which aided the infectiously catchy synth driven record that has been met with inquisetly positive reviews. The amusing video, which was shot in Los Angeles, quickly inspired others to dance and with due time, the song and video quickly went viral across all social media platforms, shattering viewing numbers.

This new viral trend started when pop star Gemma Kane playfully posted a video of herself performing the choreography to the song in her beautiful backyard. She created her rendition of the record by doing her signature hair flips and dancing the choreography spot on from what we see in the “I Wanna" music video. Gemma Kane posted the video to her social media and it quickly became a hit. In no time, the “Sinner” singer was trending along with the I Wanna song and music video. Shortly after, singer Naomi known from being in the girl group SYNCO playfully challenged Gemma to a dance off and posted her rendition of the "I Wanna" choreography in her dance video. Like Gemma’s, Naomi’s also became a hit on social media. Garnering 2.5 million views.

Other celebrities soon began to follow suit, causing the song and video to become a viral sensation: Erica Hess decided to hop in on the fun and post her video showing off some quirky dance skills, Gretchen Allin soon posted a nearly NSFW rendition.
Meanwhile, The Jollies member Zafari took part in the challenge with a friend, sticking his tongue out and pretending to do wrong with his mouth open in shock. It worked surprisingly well, as Zafari's moves were really good and flowed well with the music as he danced with a friend.

Similarly, Jollies members Natasha Stanovski and David Power Hernandez joined in on the fun, taking their dance challenge to the gym in a hilarious rendition of the song's choreography. Shortly after, PRÓXIMO’s La Familia label mate Tika Mays dropped her own I Wanna Dance Challenge, which included some intense choreography and back up dancers. Payton took to the streets of liverpool with members of his team to dance hilariously to the song in support of PRÓXIMO, who he manages.

Suzie also made her own I Wanna Dance Challenge which featured a team of dancers, and original choreography over hypnotic beats of the song. Sabina too, posted a video which had back up dancers behind her in her rendition of the I Wanna Dance Challenge.
Lincoln Keaton, on the other hand, took to the beach to show off his awe inspiring dance moves as he executed his dance moves to perfection. BYS then shocked the social media world by returning for the dance challenge, taking to the dance studio to show off their remarkable coordination and announcing that they are back together and planning a “comeback season”.

Other notable celebrities who posted popular dance challenges included Sophia Delaney, Karoliena Summers and Chris Walker just to name a few. This has caused I Wanna to be a worldwide trending topic and hot new dance trend.

The viral anthem, co-penned by Stat Nerd’s member Christopher Hudson has really given PRÓXIMO a whole new lease of life in 2020. Prior to these inventive and entertaining dance mashups, PRÓXIMO were seemingly inactive. Following the moderate success of Daydreaming, the group faded into obscurity until April of this year when they announced that they signed with La Familia and were planning a comeback with a project entitled “Revamped” after relaunching their new website. It wasn’t until late July that the members of the group took to Instagram to tease lyrics from what would be the I Wanna single release and video. A day later, the song came out and the rest was history. So far, the video has amassed millions of views and engagements across all social media platforms including Youtube, where it continues to shatter viewing and streaming figures on streaming services thanks to participation from popular celebrities.

The boys of PRÓXIMO seem intent on continuing their push to the forefront, as they just announced that they are teaming up with the Fan Choice Awards and are giving fans, dancers and performers who are not famous, a chance to submit their #IWannaDanceChallenge to their website. They promised that one lucky video submission participant(s) would receive an “opportunity” of a lifetime. Some are already speculating that this could include an appearance from the winning participant during the pre-show or main show of the Fan Choice Awards that will take place later next month.

What are your thoughts on PROXIMO’s viral song, I Wanna and what has been your favorite #IWannaDanceChallenge video so far? Sound off below!

A JOLLIES' DOCUMENTARY IS COMING TO NETFLIX IN AUTUMN
Pop group has reportedly signed contract for a life-story documentary on the members of the band



It's currently a period of mixed feelings for the Jollies going from success and wealth for some to fear, confusion and grief to others. Not only coronavirus took a toll on the five launching their group project last year with a member leaving right at the beginning and having to find the perfect missing piece at the last minute who was Fabriano Galore. Now also David Power Hernandez is grieving the loss of boyfriend Silver Spoons met in the Celebrity Big Brother experience in May and Rose Hemsworth keeps dealing with unknown stalker who made her life hundred times harder as we recently found out in her recent pics as well.

Well now the group seems interested in telling even more stories and experiences as they have reportedly signed a contract with Netflix to have a 6 episodes documentary about their individual life stories and one special episode that will talk about their current experience as a group ever since the beginning in April 2019. So many interesting and juicy facts will be talked about and sources close to the group have seen some of the themes already set on the show schedule and it seems that we'll finally get to know more on Natasha's troubles with her tycoon father Igor Stanovski, Rose's complicated relationship with her ex and an illness that nobody knew about, Zafari's story being an adopted African who faces racism, Fabriano's journey from Italy to England and his career goals, David's hard ways of growing up as an homosexual and coming out. Many happy themes will also be touched upon from the five's individual passions, dreams, happy moments, families, friends and much more.

So perhaps with their first documentary coming soon, the group will finally show their secret to deal with the hard stuff and keep going no matter what. The Jollies in fact, despite the madness of the last weeks, have been announced as performers at this year FCA and have also announced their next single 'Valeur' taken from their debut album 'Squad Goals'. Maybe they can actually inspire their fans to never give up and hold on their dreams, which seems to be working for them right now.
But we wonder is it really going to last?

JOLLY NATASHA 'VERY CLOSE' TO MANAGER AND ENTREPRENEUR AUGUSTO LINCOLN
The two were spotted out of a restaurant together last night after a long summer of hidden meetings



It's been a long Summer of secret meetings that close sources reported us but the Jolly Natasha Stanovski seems very smart in hiding her life from the public eye, while avoiding questions or hiding her love life on social or from paparazzi. Stanovski family matters are very well known anyway to her followers as her Russian tycoon father Igor Stanovski released many statements in the past first attacking his daughter on her music project, then reportedly making amends during the coronavirus outbreak, looking for the peace in the family.

What we wonder now is will dad Stanovski be happy to find out that his daughter is dating the 50 year old billionaire entrepreneur and manager Augusto Lincoln, known into the behind the scenes of the showbiz. The pair were in fact seen coming out of a restaurant together yesterday in London and while we are sure that the Jollies aren't looking for a new manager, we can safely say that the two were very close and sources admitted him to be the unknown man that she was seeing this Summer in secret.

A person close to their table at the restaurant said. "They had a long night at the restaurant talking about their interest like their passion for Rock music but there were also some esplicit exchanges. They were talking sex like there was no tomorrow" Didn't she like privacy? And this person also added. "He was so arrogant and she admittedly even admired him on that. But from what I was hearing that didn't seem like a very romantic relationship. Not your usual Romeo and Juliet."


So what is happening? What's between them? We don't know YET. But one thing is for sure, this isn't about work. Love... or better, sex is in the air here. And whatever relationship there is, we are sure that Natasha's Jolly mates will accept for their open-minded 'Accept the difference' motto, but what will Stanovski daddy think about his daughter dating a 50 year old man? When he's only 60 and always tried to control many of her choices.

But who is Augusto Lincoln? Apart from being a manager and entrepreneur in the showbiz, this 50 year old tattooed, gym addicted man is also followed by thousands on socials like Instagram and Twitter and is mostly known for his exagerated lifestyle shown in his online posts where we see a man surrounded by huge groups of women, yachts, money, champagne, little dance competitions and much more.

So while all this extravagant life may be liked by some, it could put a bad example for young Natasha or worse, her young followers and fans whose age are mostly in the teenage years. What parent will want a child to follow a celebrity who dates a 50 year old man who does all of this? If you put that parents of young fans also criticized Natasha for her picture posted on Instagram in July showing her nose piercing, things might escalate quickly.

HOLLYWOOD SCOOP: "Holly" Robinson Files Defamation of Character Lawsuit against Daniel The Freenerd for her portrayal on social media and the music video "Monsters in your Bed".




Looks like things are getting a little heated for the camp of Daniel The Freenerd and Hot Eye Records. Haily Robinson (who's allegedly portrayed as Holly in Daniel The Freenerd's "Monster in your Bed" music video) has filed a defamation lawsuit in Orlando's US district court, seeking actual and punitive damages, plus legal fees towards the singer. According to the public documents released; the Ex-girlfiend of Daniel allegedly dated him for three years around the time the singer was associated with experimental music act GreenLeaf. They had what she described as a toxic relationship which lead to an ugly break up.

Mrs. Robinson claims that her portrayal in the music video "Monsters in Your Bed" as a rapist has resulted an effect on her reputation and mental health. She also claims that Daniel knowingly and maliciously portrayed her as a monster and a rapist in result of their break up years ago.

Daniel The Freenerd and his team has refused to comment on the matter.
