SEVENTEEN Takes Billboard Behind the Scenes of Their ‘MAESTRO’ Music Video | Behind the Video

Billboard and the members of SEVENTEEN — S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino — take fans the behind the scenes of their latest music video for new song “MAESTRO.”

SEVENTEEN:
We are SEVENTEEN!

Vernon:
We are here on the set of our brand new music video for “MAESTRO.”

Joshua:
Are you ready to set off for this exclusive behind-the-scenes look?

SEVENTEEN:
Let’s go!

Dongyeon Kang:
Hi, Billboard, we are the music video director of SEVENTEEN’s “MAESTRO” music video.

Mingyu:
When you think of the word “maestro,” it sounds classic with elements associated with conducting, but SEVENTEEN’s “MAESTRO” is a bit more futuristic.

Vernon:
This video is set in a world where everything can be created with A.I., including music, and this technology threatens SEVENTEEN, but in the end, we embrace the technology and become one.

Jihoon Jeon:
I feel like we’re living in an era where creation is becoming easier and easier due to the advancement of technology. We wondered what the role of an artist would be in this era, and wanted to portray SEVENTEEN as artists who are conducting the art of creation in this music video.

Kim Hyodahm:
What I like most is the dystopian look in the first verse, which involved items like black hoodies and balaclavas, because this is a new style that SEVENTEEN hasn’t tried often before.

Joshua:
I was actually conducting the skateboarders that were riding on a halfpipe, and what was really funny was that the halfpipes, they’re colored as pianos, so I felt like I was really conducting.

Lainey Wilson
Hey y’all, it’s Lainey Wilson. Welcome to my Billboard cover shoot.

Lainey Wilson
I’m on the set of my Billboard cover shoot here in Pasadena. We are so excited to get me all done up. I just got off of a 15-hour plane ride from Sydney, Australia. So they’re covering up some jet lag, but it’s gonna be a fun day and this is a dream come true.

Joelle Grace Taylor
Today with Lainey, she’s such a beautiful, flamboyant country star. We really wanted to give her kind of a spin on that we were thinking like, let’s elevate it to this kind of LA ‘Boogie Nights,’ pool party vibe. So she’s basically like, welcome to my villa. I look amazing. Would you like some lemonade?

Cherie Kilchrist
The pieces I pulled, I took from Lainey’s personal style. … She’s always looking for an exaggerated leg, bell sleeves, kind of like this Cavalli look here is a very standard Lainey pant that people recognize her for. So I tried to stay true to that while still doing the vibe of the shoot.

Beyoncé Surprises With Coachella Attendance, Drake & Kendrick Lamar Beef Escalates, Rauw Alejandro’s Tattoo Removal & More | Billboard News

It’s Wednesday, May 8th, and Drake & Kendrick Lamar’s beef is getting intense. On Tuesday morning, Drake’s security guard was shot at the rapper’s Toronto residence and his London OVO store was vandalized with the phrase “they not like us,” referencing Kendrick’s diss to Drake. On top of that, it looks like both rappers’ diss tracks are making their way to the Hot 100 next week. We give you All Access to 21 Savage’s American Dream Tour. Beyoncé posted an IG Reel showing that she was actually at Coachella a couple weeks back — how could we miss that? Meghan Trainor debuted a new music video for her new single “To the Moon,” from her upcoming album ‘Timeless.’ It looks like Rauw Alejandro covered up one of his tattoos that he got with now ex Rosalía. Craig David stopped by and explained ‘How It Went Down’ for his iconic single “7 Days” and more!

Tetris Kelly: 

Beyoncé’s stealthy surprise trip, Meghan Trainor’s out of this world video and Rauw Alejandro says bye to his ex. The Kendrick and Drake beef takes a wild turn. We take you inside 21 Savage’s show and Craig David breaks down one of his biggest hits. This Hump Day is packed with news, and it’s starting with a shocking update. The Kendrick and Drake beef is getting intense and now it’s beyond just diss tracks. Let’s break it down. After the back and forth diss tracks, a security guard working at Drake’s Toronto residence was shot early Tuesday morning. According to the Toronto Star, the security guard was transported to the hospital where he underwent surgery. No suspects have been named, but law enforcement says security footage captured a suspect’s car leaving the property. It’s not clear if Drake was at home at the time of the shooting and law enforcement have not said whether they think the shooting is linked to Drake and Kendrick’s feud. What does seem to be related to the feud is the vandalizing of Drake’s London OVO store. Someone spraypainted the front window with “they not like us,” possibly a reference to Kendrick’s song. While the rap beef has seemingly spurred some negative actions, it looks like some of their diss tracks could be heading for chart success. Four of the diss tracks have already appeared on the Hot 100 and three more — “Not Like Us,” “FAMILY MATTERS” and “meet the grahams” — which are all widely available

Craig David Shares How Iconic ‘7 Days’ Song & Music Video Was Created | How It Went Down | Billboard

In today’s episode of ‘How It Went Down,’ Craig David reveals what inspired him to create “7 Days,” the core theme of the song, how he was able to collaborate with Mark Hill to create something magical and more!

David Craig: 

Hi, I’m Craig David and this is How It Went Down with my song “7 Days.” So the inspiration behind the lyrics to “7 Days,” for me, was a young kid living in his two bedroom flat with my mum in the projects in the UK in a place called Southampton, but looking out this window and just aspiring to live this very magical, whimsical life. One of those being how would it be to have a whimsical seven days where you’re not necessarily living at home with your mum and not necessarily really in the project. And that for me was the starting point, jotting down the first word of Monday. And then it just became so simple to then let the verse kind of play out the story, but the core is just to stay simple. Just go through the days of the week and most important Sunday. Chill and relax back, even in this case. Like just, take your time.The song was produced by a guy called Mark Hill, a close friend of mine and actually was the producer of the whole album, my first album, ‘Born To Do It,’ which changed his life, my life and touched a lot of people’s lives along the way. His studio was like underground in a, right by a marina and we’d always go for like coffees and have a little drink by the marina, get some fresh air, get some inspiration.

Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar Rap Battle Debate: Where Does Drake Go From Here? | Billboard Unfiltered

In the first episode of ‘Billboard Unfiltered,’ Billboard staffers Damien Scott, Carl Lamarre and Trevor Anderson discuss the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud that has taken the hip-hop world by storm, J. Cole’s exit from the drama, Tommy Richman’s debut on the Hot 100 and more!

Carl Lamarre:
Hey, hey! What’s going on, guys? Welcome to a fresh episode of ‘Billboard Unfiltered.’ Guys, we have a jam-packed episode as we’re gonna dive into arguably one of the greatest hip-hop battles we have seen of all time. Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar. Guys, I mean, I have not seen anything like this.

Damien Scott:
It’s definitely the busiest battle ever.

Trevor Anderson:
Yeah, just the drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop…

Carl Lamarre:
I mean, they got us working overtime.

Damien Scott:
Drake called it. He said drop, drop, drop, drop. That’s what n—as did.

Carl Lamarre:
I’m curious to get your takeaways from the battle. I mean, obviously, we have not seen anything like this. Seven disses in a week, double digits in a month.

Damien Scott:
That’s crazy.

Carl Lamarre:
What are some of your biggest takeaways from this battle? I’ll start with you, Dame.

Damien Scott:
My biggest takeaway is that these are two of our best hitmakers working today. I think people already knew Drake was a hitmaker. He’s our genre’s premiere hitmaker. I think people underestimated how good of a hitmaker Kendrick was just because Kendrick doesn’t drop that often. And when he does drop, you never know what you’re going to get with Kendrick. He can be going in a different, more personal direction, where he’s not really focused on the charts, or he can make an album like ‘DAMN.’ where it’s much more accessible. I think this shows that these two guys, I would say, are the best we got.
