J Balvin shows Billboard’s Tetris Kelly the exclusive behind-the-scenes setup of his out-of-this-world Coachella set from this weekend, featuring a special guest appearance by ‘Men In Black’ star Will Smith.

J BalvinI need Will Smith in the show. I need the ‘Men In Black.’

Tetris KellyFrom Big Willy to an alien landing and an out-of-this-world performance. You won’t believe where we are — we’re taking you behind the scenes of J Balvin’s epic Coachella set right here at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. Mi gente, let’s go!

Tetris KellyHow are you feeling heading out to the desert now?

J BalvinMan, can’t wait to see this UFO, you know, landing in Coachella.

Tetris KellyHow do you feel fans are gonna react?

J BalvinI think they’re gonna go crazy, but they have no idea, no clue. Like, not even my friends, don’t come to rehearsal, nothing.

Tetris KellyJust come straight to the show.

J BalvinEven my wife!

Tetris KellyShe doesn’t know?

J BalvinYeah, she’s like, ‘Can I come?’ I was like, ‘Nope!’

Tetris KellySo I’m seeing you up in the air and all this stuff — are you nervous about that part at all?

J BalvinWhen I started doing this part here, you know that goes to the UFO, I was shaking the first day, I can’t lie, because you know from this height, you fall, you’re done, right? If we go viral… but that’s not important.

Tetris KellyBut we don’t want that, right?

Sheryl Crow talks about performing “If It Makes You Happy” with Olivia Rodrigo at her Nashville show and releasing a new album Evolution, after announcing that Threads would be her last album in 2019. On the album, she tackles issues she’s passionate about, most notably, artificial intelligence and how it’s going to change the music industry. She opens up about the collaborations with Peter Gabriel on “Digging in the Dirt,” Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine on the title track, the past collabs she’s most proud of, her favorite Sheryl Crow cover and more!

Sheryl Crow:I sent him a broken record, which nobody wanted to touch. Everybody I played it for was like, I mean, he was like, “Oh man, you gotta let me do this song. You gotta let me do that song.” Hi, I’m Sheryl Crow, and this is Billboard News.

Rebecca Milzoff:Hi, everyone. I’m Rebecca Milzoff. I’m the executive magazine editor here at Billboard, and I am so psyched to be here today with Sheryl Crow, one of my personal heroes. Happily, contrary to what you told us four years ago, she did not put out her last album in 2019. And she has an amazing new album Evolution coming.

Sheryl Crow:Yes, thank you. I know, I know better than to open my mouth and make such statements. But I keep saying that this is not an album. It’s more a playlist of neutral postpones.

Rebecca Milzoff:What’s the difference between an album and a playlist?

Sheryl Crow:I’ll tell you. And I am kind of joking about that. But, but not really. An album for me typically has been an artistic statement with a beginning, a middle and end. It’s been curated, you know, certain songs didn’t make it. And people would listen to it as a full body of work.
