Folia pra mimMe arriscar no amorApostar na incertezaPular de onde forDe novoMeu amor
Diziam pra mimQue essa moda passouQue monogamia é papo de doidoMas pra mim é uma honraSer uma cafonaPra esse povo
Me pinto pra disfarçarRebusco palavras pra te encantarInvento uma moda, faço bossa novaMeu futuro no Rio seráHmm-mm
Chico, se tu me quiseresSou dessas mulheres de se apaixonarPode fazer a sua fumaçaO Bar da CachaçaVai ser nosso lar
E, Chico, se tu me quiseresDebato política, tomo o teu partidoE se for pra repartir o amorQue reparta comigoHmm
Chico, se tu me quiseresSou dessas mulheresDe se apaixonarPode fazer sua fumaçaO Bar da CachaçaVai ser nosso lar
Pois Chico, se tu me quiseresDebato políticaTomo o teu partidoE se for pra repartir o amorQue reparta comigoComigo

Luísa Sonza & Demi Lovato’s “Penhasco2” lyrics
Copos vazios, silêncio e ruídoA casa é grande demais, vazia demaisComigoSobras a falta que fazQue não volta mais
Diz o que eu façoTenta ver meu ladoSó queria um pouco pra mim
Que seja mais um tragoSó mais um pedaçoNem que eu me acabe no fim
Traz de voltaMeu amanhãTraz de voltaMeu amanhã
CalaMeu peito que chama, chamaSaraA dor que me arranhaMe arranca a pazAi, ai, ah
Palavras vazias, pedaço de amorSoltei tua mãoTua falta faz eco, ‘cê sabeReparta comigo essa dor da saudadeSaudade não tem tradução
CalaMeu peito que chama, chamaSaraA dor que me arranhaMe arranca a pazAi, aiAh, ah, ah, ah

Michelle Jubelirer accepts the Executive of the Year award at Billboard Women In Music 2024. Michelle Jubelirer:I would have rethought my shoe choice had I known how tall Katy [Perry] was going to be tonight. Thank you, Katy. You exemplify what it means to be a strong woman in music, whether through your singular artistry […]
Katy Perry made a surprise appearance at the 2024 Billboard Women in Music Awards on Wednesday (March 7) to present the award of Executive of the Year to her longtime champion and label chief Michelle Jubelirer.
“I am so grateful to be here today to celebrate my dear friend and my iced latte hiking buddy Michelle Jubelirer,” Perry said. “She has been a beacon for artists, nurturing their talents and supporting their personal growth. She heard me, she saw me, she created space for me, even supported me through my journey of motherhood.”
This was Jubelirer’s first speech since she decided to leave her post as CEO and chair of Capitol Music Group on Feb. 6, amidst the drastic restructuring of UMG’s recorded music division. The storied record label has since been folded into the new umbrella Interscope Capitol Labels Group and many staff members have been let go since her departure.
“This has been a very tough period in the music business,” Jubelirer said. “Countless numbers of people have suddenlylosttheirlivelihoods … and this means that dozens of artists have lost their champions. Relationships are everything. It takes tremendous faith for artists to entrust their music to others. To have built those relationships only to see them abruptly end is more than disconcerting for an artist; it’s heartbreaking.”
“Even though I am no longer peering out the top floor window of the Capitol tower,” she said, “my diamond heart leads my mission. I will always be a fierce advocate for artists and promise to put real and meaningful action behind the words I’ve spoken tonight.”
Jubelirer also addressed misogyny in her speech, saying: “Do these comments sound familiar? ‘You’re too emotional.’ ‘You don’t have to be so direct when you talk.’ We all know that’s code for: ‘Stop being a bitch.’ ‘You should smile more’ — that’s one of my personal favorites. We’ve all heard these glib phrases and countless others throughout our careers. … But I wholeheartedly believe that I relate to artists differently because I am a woman. I have a stronger connection with my colleagues because I am a woman. I am able to make decisions that consider a wider range of factors because I am a woman.”
She continued: “This approach informed the culture we built at Capitol Music Group, and we achieved historic success operating in this manner. So yes, I am a better leader because I am a woman.”
Jubelirer joined Capitol in early 2013 after a fruitful career as an artist attorney to talent like Tyler, the Creator, M.I.A., Frank Ocean, Pharrell and more. By 2015, she rose to become COO to Steve Barnett, the then-CEO of CMG, which also encompassed Motown, Blue Note, Astralwerks and, until recently, indie distributor Virgin Music. She remained on as COO and president under Barnett’s successor, Jeff Vaughn, who spent about a year in the role, before the role was handed to Jubelirer at the end of 2021. She was the first female chief executive in Capitol’s 80-plus-year history.
“The challenges [I inherited at Capitol] were plentiful,” Jubelirer admitted in her interview for Billboard‘s Women in Music issue. CMG faced a falling market share, staff turnover, pandemic challenges and an unwieldy artist roster. “The truth is, a lot of change happened in a short period of time.”
But under her reign, Capitol’s fortunes quickly began to turn. The company signed Ice Spice (with 10K Projects), released the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “Unholy” by Sam Smith and Kim Petras, worked with UMe to release the Beatles’ AI-powered single “Now and Then,” and went viral multiple times over, including with Doechii’s “What It Is (Block Boy).”
In 2023, Capitol earned a 6.66% market share in the U.S., including a 5.90% current market share — which measures releases from the past 18 months — which was fifth among all labels for the full year. Both numbers were up significantly over her first year as CEO/chair in 2022, when Capitol’s overall market share stood at 6.40% and current market share was 4.97%.

PinkPantheress accepts the Producer of the Year award at Billboard Women In Music 2024.PinkPantheress:Hi. To show my appreciation for this award, I think it’s important to mention my roots as a producer. I was at university in a dorm room — oh, my hearts beating really quickly — when I decided there was no way graduating university was going to make me happy in the long run. But I was simultaneously too shy to admit that I wanted to be a musician. Because of this, I had to make music in private and not tell anyone.
For my first year as an artist, I was anonymous. I never thought I’d be recognized as a producer, because I didn’t think I was really producing anything because I was writing and singing over drum and bass and jungle beats that were already known in great length in the U.K. Only as my music started to develop did I think of adding my own drums, my own keys, until I was making some beats from scratch. That’s when I finally felt comfortable calling myself a producer.
Oh, girl. OK, sorry, this is the last bit. It’s painful for all of us. Oh, God. Stop, guys, stop! Please! I’m shaking.
OK, as a woman of color in electronic music, specifically two-step, drum and bass, it’s taken a lot for the genre to be recognized on a wider scale. A lot of people didn’t expect me to look the way I did making the music I was making. And nobody, even now, people don’t want to take my music seriously, but I’m just happy that I have the opportunity to be recognized in this specific field by the Billboard Women in Music Awards.
I watched Rosalia get this last year and that’s my queen. So I’m just … and as much as this is an event for the women, the girlies tonight, I do need to give a shout-out to Mura Masa, who guided me with my musical direction and who deserves to be recognized for his influence through my music and to his own, so thank you everybody here!Watch the full video above!
