RADIO VINE SPILTS WITH LONG TIME LABEL, STUDIO 60.




Studio 60 signed Radio back in the first stages of her career, her first album Invention of Me was pushed by the prestige label, have not released an project under the label in eight year before releasing, ‘Vineyard’. Radio felt isolated by the label. During the hiatus, Radio recalls the label never reaching out for any new music or ideas, Radio confirms having to ‘push the idea’ to the label in order for Vineyard to happen. The album was originally scheduled for release back in 2018. After A&R listening to the first draft of Vineyard, Radio never heard back with the decision to move forward.

Back in 2017, Radio reported storming the office on October 27th demanding budget increase on projects. She complained that most artist on the roster were mainstream artist with bigger budgets. She felt that Studio 60 didn’t valve her work, only allowing her to do so much. Radio has complained several times about the budget and being more interactive with the label.

In 2018, Radio signed with Sony Entertainment for an management deal, aiming for the release of her new album. After months of signing, the contact felt though leaving Radio facing Studio 60 to further push the project to be released. Her continuous struggle of then management to trust her with her work, Studio 60 never backed Radio up when it came to projects. The fact of her success isn’t as hugely or globally as most artist, she wanted to elevate her career with the ideas she had back in 2018.

Some employees of Studio 60 had called Rsdio, ‘ pushy, entitled, sensitive, insecure’ Employees recalled several times where meetings with Radio wasn’t always pleasant.

We reached out to Radios publicist to confirm the spilt, publicist confirmed the spilt that was completed over the weekend. “ She just wants a new start, she deserves it..”

Radio Vine has released a shoe line inspired by pumps called PopHouse that’s available June 5th. The album that was stripped in 2018 is now sitting currently at the number two spot on the album chart.

OOC: No real thread for this album. Just having a bit of fun with a story :)

THE ZONE'S LIAM ALLEN SELLS A MEAGER 930 COPIES OF DEBUT SOLO ALBUM



What goes up must come down is an age-old saying which will forever ring true and a phrase that sadly applies to Liam Allen this week as his debut solo album, "The Showstopper", only managed to sell 930 copies and limped in at an abysmal #189 on Chart Heat Albums. Allen previously enjoyed success of epic proportions and dizzying heights as part of four-piece American boy band "The Zone" in the early-to-mid 2010's. The group, comprised of Allen, Blake Williams, Chris Adams and Jason Ochoa-Steele, formed in 2012 and were hailed as an American alternative to British-Irish pop group sensation "Weekend". Whilst Allen's group didn't last as long or rack up a multitude of hits like their counterpart, "The Zone" still held their own for numerous years, accumulating a dedicated fanbase, international recognition and several top ten hits alongside a Platinum certified, top 5 album in the form of "The High Life". One of few boybands to survive and steadily sell during "WeekendMania". Since the band's demise in 2015, however, chart success and solo stardom has eluded Liam.

Allen is the second member of the defunct boy band to release a solo album, following in the footsteps of Blake Williams' "Rewrite" which hit the shelves last summer. After the group parted ways, all four members fell out of the spotlight to live fairly reclusive lives not only away from public gaze but from the entire music industry altogether. Expectations for Liam were high, however, often being dubbed as the most "handsome" member of the band alongside a brief stint on the ill-fated fifth season of Celebrity Big Brother. It seemed as though Allen was being tailored and set-up to be the next hunky pop boy but everything quickly fell silent after the cancellation of CBB5. In the interim, it was Blake Williams who would rise to solo stardom. Whilst the cousin of Mandy Williams was out causing controversy and pushing out very candid records that got tongues wagging, Liam almost fell into complete obscurity, making no further public appearances and having very little online presence.

With no prior announcement or teaser, Allen dropped his debut solo single "All That Glitters" in May 2021. The song generated very little buzz online and failed to chart, currently tallying at a mere 21k streams of Spotify - far from the numbers one would expect for an ex-boybander launching a solo career in the pop field. Liam's debut album, "The Showstopper", faired even worse, shifting a measly 930 copies in its opening week. It made its chart debut last week, coming in at the dizzying heights of #189. In comparison, Blake Williams' debut album "Rewrite" peaked at #1 and is currently still charting within the Top 20 almost exactly a year after its release. Allen's effort is projected to fall out of the Top 200 entirely in its second week with sales currently even lower.

So what happened with "The Showstopper"? Both Liam and Blake self-funded their debut projects and released independently yet the results couldn't be more polarising. Whilst Williams had a famous surname, controversy, industry connections and slick production to propel his project, Liam's effort sadly feels bare-bones in all areas in comparison. Despite the very few critics who actually reviewed "The Showstopper" praising its "fun" and "upbeat" content, almost all of them have counteracted their points with the fact that the material sounds "cheap" and "faceless" while also criticising the use of autotune and Allen's "thin" voice. Lack of funding also creeps over into promotional materials with many fans being unaware that Liam actually has an album out. "The Showstopper" is also only available on streaming and digital services. Whilst Spotify and Apple Music are the heavy-hitters when it comes to music consumption, a huge portion of sales these days comes from multiple variants of physical media. A vinyl, CD and cassette would count for three different sales whereas one simple stream doesn't. A "limited signed CD" edition of "The Showstopper" is currently available for pre-order but will not be released until September, a few months too late to do any real damage control surrounding the poor-selling record.

Liam has yet to comment on the disappointing sales figures whilst official Chart Heat accounts and pages have also failed to report on the stats for the album. "The Showstopper" is available to stream and purchase digitally now.

ALIYA ROSE SPOTTED LEAVING REHAB WITH CHILD IN ARMS



A name you might possibly remember, "Aliya Rose". Back in 2014, the singer officially impacted the charts for the first time and consistently released hits until 2017. The singer turned into an actress in 2015 "Finding Tom" and then also participated in the Original Soundtrack of Blockbuster Movie "Evangelion". It was safe to say that there was no realistic way to avoid Aliya.
But things fell through when she suddenly vanished out of nowhere. Rumors circulated about the singer being involved in an abusive relationship as several witnesses, without picture proof, said to have seen the singer with a black eye or bruises on her arms. Her Team had denied these statements when the media catched up on it. Aliya herself never spoke up and stayed silent throughout it all.

In 2018, according to leaked papers, the singer turned herself in and went to rehab with a then new-born child. The leaked papers announce that she had postpartum depression and abused drugs and alcohol. None of this ever went public, until now that is. This leads us to believe that the singer initially went silent due to pregnancy and then mentally drastically deteriorated. Since then, the singer went on & off to rehab, though papers reveal that most issues got handled the first time around.

Now in 2021, the singer, now in her 30s, was spotted by paparazzi leaving rehab with her now 3 year old child in arms. When asked where she had been, she remained silent and hid her child with a jacket. Several sources tried contacting Aliya's team, they responded saying, "Aliya has had a tough road these past years and finally reached a point where she feels safe and confident. She has been clean since 2018, and has focused on taking care of her child. Whether she steps back into the entertainment industry is up to her and we support her decision."

PRESS CONFERENCE :




Los Angeles holds press conference on investigation on the disappearance of Radio Vine

On Sunday June 25th, Destiny Davis known to the Radio Vine was reported missing by her friends and family. Friend, Allison With reported her missing when Destiny was not answering none of her calls, she was also absent from her Los Angeles penthouse. Max Martin, music director also reported her missing after not showing up at a meeting that was scheduled with her past label, Studio 60. In the initial investigation, Detective Paul Skiner went to the residence of Destiny Davis where they found her car keys, wallet and spare cash on her kitchen counter. Days later, surveillance did show Frank Similio, ex boyfriend of Radio Vine was shown leaving out of California home with two black bags and trash bag, where we later confirmed it was clothes for his daughter and the trash bag was to clean up trash in his truck. Detectives thought to always question Max Martin in the connection of the missing persons. Max did confirm that Radio was seen the night before 25th in the studio working on music. When Radio did left the studio on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, California, she left called Max hours later and from his understanding, Radio was going to bed to prepare for her meeting the following day.

Detectives also expected foul play with the missing of the pop star. Detectives began to go to Radios LA home for fingerprints and evidence to locate her. Detectives found blood leading from the front door to her bedroom door. The detectives took samples of the blood, the results was the blood of Destiny Davis. They also found her tennis shoes under her bed covered in blood. Detectives then submitted the case of possibly homicide.

News outlets and major media sources broke the news of her disappearance. LA Police Department tried to keep details of the investigation secret, requested by her publicist and team. Allison With was very cooperative when it came to questioning.

She did inform detective Paul that weeks ago, Max asked her for her keys to her San Diego vacation home because he wanted to get away from the greater LA area to relax and write some music. When asked about the relationship she has with Frank, she declined ever being friends with the ex and never would of invited him to any parties or events knowing the history with Radio.

Frank rejected any suggestion that he has no involvement in her disappearance. Last week, neighbors in a gated San Diego community that With’s house is located inside reported disturbance coming from her vacation home. The neighbor described the disturbance being “ disturbing to listen too in the dark hours.” She reported yelling and screaming coming from the back of the house. Los Angeles Detective Division sent over a team of detectives to investigate the disturbance. When they arrived, they found the back door opened, glass broken from the balcony window. They went in with a local SWAT team to investigate where they saw a room with two huge locks on the door. The SWAT team went inside the room where they found Destiny Davis tied up in a chair with her hands tied up, several bruises on her neck, leg and neck. Also noticed darkness and swollen tissue around both of her eyes. At the time, when officers arrived no one was at the property. Detective Paul said “at the time of finding Miss Davis, she was very traumatized and almost absent in her body language.. she was very quiet and cold.. which was very sad to see. She has several black and blue bruises all over her body. You can tell that she’s been fighting because some of her nails are off and beding under her nails are broken.. she was very strong though in the whole process but still very shocked on everything..”

Paul then called in local officials with the FBI to further extend the investigation more. FBI agents suggested that we use special blue lighting in Destiny Davis’s home and Allison With home. We followed with this suggestion where we found footprint and fingerprint on the chair that Radio was tied up too, the door locks on the door all matched the print of Adam Jenkins, that goes by the name Sir Zulla. He was one of the producers on her album. The Los Angeles Police Department has issued out an arrest warrant for Adam Jenkins.

Following the warrant, we reviewed surveillance footage in the gated community where a Caucasian male, around 6”2’ with black clothing with a jacket covering his mouth and nose, his hoodie was over her head. By the footage, he has blue eyes. He was seen entering in and out of the gate for the last four days. He was also seen entering the back of With’s house on July 4th. We have also confirmed on the Instagram posts that were made during her disappearance was equivalent to the times we also viewed him entering the property. Max Martin was not seen on this surveillance footage despite of him being the only known individual that had the keys to With’s home. Max will also be bought in for further questioning.

The unknown male we are currently trying to identify on the surveillance. We have also pulled more prints that we are currently waiting for the results. Destiny is currently still hospitalized in Los Angeles hospital and is recovering smoothly.

She wants to thank everyone for the love and support during this difficult time.

"DID A THING..." - OSCAR & EILIDH TIE THE KNOT AFTER NINE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT


(Credit - @CurlyFries)

Love's young dream, Oscar and Eilidh FINALLY married each other on Friday night following a lengthy yet iconic 9-year engagement. The Weekend heartthrob and pop princess first met and began dating way back in 2012 before announcing their engagement later that year. Despite three other members of Ward's group tying the knot in the interim, his and Eilidh's was actually the first Weekend engagement. Fans and pop culture aficionados were whipped up into a frenzy over the revelation. 2012 was also the same year that both stars kicked off their lucrative careers, making them extremely hot property. The unlikely pairing of the naïve, ditzy American sweetheart and the tearaway, privately-educated Englishman captured the hearts of many nations and the wedding was hotly-tipped to be the Moment of the Year. Static followed, however. Years past and despite the couple still going strong, there were no signs of confetti and cake anywhere for the best part of a decade.

The couple welcomed their first child, Roo, on Christmas Day 2012, sharing the same yuletide birthday as Ward's bandmate Dustyn Blue-Conners. The birth of a daughter so early into their relationship had many doubting the legitimacy of the engagement, fearing a shotgun wedding and one that wasn't made to last. Eilidh and Oscar, however, powered through and despite no nuptials still taking place, the couple continued to expand their family over the years. Their son and second child, Rocco, was born in 2015 and since then many puppies have been welcomed into their large English countryside estate home. Since putting that initial diamond on Eilidh's finger, three of Ward's bandmates have walked down the aisle. One of which did it twice over! Billy Khan married (and divorced) fellow pop star Andrea Mason in 2013 during their explosive and highly controversial relationship. He is now happily married to The Stat Nerds member, Jerry Holmes. Scott Wellington tied the knot with Jennifer Armstrong in 2014. Dustyn married long-term partner Dallas Conners in late 2018. Oscar now officially joins The Husbands Club. Sorry, Riley.

The newlyweds held a private ceremony in London. Restrictive COVID guidelines didn't prove a problem for the happy couple as it has been stated that they wanted a "small, private and intimate" ceremony. It is believed that Ward's bandmates as well as a "select few" family members and friends of Oscar and Eilidh were in attendance. A celebratory reception was also held at a currently undisclosed location. It is also believed to have been small yet star-studded. A representative for Oscar had the following to say;



With the wedding no longer looming over their heads, the couple are expected to dive straight back into work and take their already highly-successful careers to new heights. Eilidh's hotly-anticipated sophomore album is said to be well underway while Oscar is already gearing up to release new music with Weekend next week! The only way is up for The Wards.
