Sebastián Yatra Explains the Stories Behind the Photo | Billboard

Sebastián Yatra explains the stories behind these photos backstage at Billboard’s Latin Music Week 2023.

Sebastián Yatra
Hello I’m Sebastián and I’m going to take you Behind the Photo with Billboard.

Sebastián Yatra
Perfect, let’s check out three photos from my Instagram.

Sebastián Yatra
The first one, this one… this was in Colombia recently when I went on vacation with my family, we toured the coffee region. So this is in a town called “Filanda,” and it’s like a dream. I mean they drew inspiration from this town as well as another called Salento and from the Cocora Valley to make the movie ‘Encanto’. So here, you literally feel like you’re in the middle of ‘Encanto’ and it’s a place I recommend for anyone on planet Earth. There’s no place greener than Colombia, the coffee region, Medellin. I met people from all over the world, and they talk a lot about our country’s greenery.

Sebastián Yatra
This was a couple of months ago. At the King’s League final, which was at the Metropolian Civitas stadium in Madrid. What happened was that Manu called me, the day before the final, and he said, “Hey, I’m here in Madrid.” Béele just arrived too, and I’m performing at the King’s League final tomorrow. The same day we performed, I was heading to Ibiza for a vacation and he said, “Shall we perform ‘Vagabundo’ together? The song?” Of course, the song was a hit at that moment in Spain and many other countries. So we said, let’s do it. Manu is such a dear friend. We all went there and this is a photo before going on stage in front of a packed stadium.

Jurin:
I think the fundamental haven’t changed.

Maya:
It hasn’t changed I agree, I agree.

Jurin:
I think defining yourself in a certain way.

Maya:
Don’t limit yourself.

Jurin:
Yeah not being bound by any boundaries or anything like that is what I believe is the fundamental aspect of girl power.

Whenever I decide on an outfit, I always try to project the image I want to become. For today’s Billboard interview, I went with something a bit more mature and colorful and added a bit of playful touch.

Destiny’s Child, TLC and Aaliyah. I love them. I love new challenges, and I like to set my mind to something and just get on with it. So I call myself Active Gal.

Well for me personally it means having my own style and loving myself. I think that’s what girl power is.

Harvey:
We all have very different personalities and things we really like. Each of us have to remember what we’re really into. Taking time to do what you like to do? I think we are doing that individually. I’m the same with COCONA and HINATA but I also try to draw pictures. I also like to read books and do other things that I really like.

Billboard Reveals the Top 10 of the Best 500 Pop Songs of All Time (Staff List) | Billboard News

Tetris Kelly:
It was August 4th, 1958, the Billboard Hot 100 was born. In honor of the chart’s 65th anniversary, Billboard staff has been putting together a huge list of the Top 500 Best Pop songs, everything from Tony Bennett to SZA, The Kinks to The Chainsmokers, Chubby Checker to *NSYNC. And now we’re revealing the Top 10, coming to you from the people who put the list together. Here’s the Billboard Top 10 from the 500 Best Pop Songs of All Time.

Joe Lynch:
Let’s kick off the Top 10 with The Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand.”

The Beatles are the group that turned rock music into the new pop music. They combined the rock and roll of early rockers like Little Richard and Chuck Berry, melded it with girl group singles, and the result was “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” It became the first Beatles song to top the Billboard Hot 100. This was the song that had a generation of teenagers losing their minds, screaming in the streets, ripping their clothes off. The Beatles were the original boy band and this is the song where all that started.

Andrew Unterberger:
Coming in at our No. 9 spot Tupac featuring Dr. Dre, “California Love.” This was a song that the last 10 years West Coast rap had been leading up to. You know, Dr. Dre had been the best producer for about a decade. Tupac had been the best rapper for about a half-decade. Then, Tupac gets out of jail. He comes to Death Row Records. He gets a Dr. Dre beat and they make “California Love.” It’s one of the best rap songs of the decade and it does what all the best rap songs do is that it’s super local to the West Coast, but it’s super global in its appeal. We talked about what rap songs should certainly be the highest on this list and “California Love” is sort of the beginning of the era where rap music could be pop music. Today, rap is the most popular music on the globe, it’s more popular than pop even. At its heart, pop stands for popular and this was the most popular music at the time. And it was the No. 1 hit and it’s a song that everybody still remembers.

Jharrel Jerome Explains How He’s Telling His Story Through ‘Rap Pack’ & ‘Trip Pack’ EPs | Billboard News

Jharrel Jerome shares how he’s telling his story through his Rap Pack and Trip Pack EPs as well as through the short films he made for them, his biggest music influences growing up, how he picks his roles for acting projects and more!

Tetris Kelly:
You gonna have to give me that beautiful answer again.

Jharrel Jerome:
I got it word for word. I wrote it down.

Tetris Kelly:
He’s like, “I told you I’m an actor right? That was a monologue I memorized.”

Jharrel Jerome:
Hey, what’s up? I’m Jharrel Jerome, and this is a Billboard News.

Tetris Kelly:
It’s Tetris with Billboard News, and I’m hanging out with Jharrel Jerome, a busy man. How’s it going?

Jharrel Jerome:
I’m good. Thank you for having me.

Tetris Kelly:
Let’s talk about this project, “Someone I’m Not.” That’s a hell of a title. So tell me what it means.

Jharrel Jerome:
For me, the title was as multiple things, it’s very layered. First, I’m an actor. So it’s a play on the profession that I do in my career, embodying somebody that I’m not and transforming into a character that I have to create.

But then, to me, the irony is also how it correlates to my real life as well. My life changed dramatically. In the last few years of my life, I’m still trying to adjust, I’m still trying to get used to certain things and used to certain dynamics. When I step out in the street, somebody might, you know, I might be dressed like this all decked out as someone who might be like, “Yo, that’s that guy from that movie. Oh, let’s, let’s take a picture — let’s do that.” But really, maybe I just got an argument with my mother or something. So I’m not all the way ready to be that figure for somebody and so he is viewing me or he or she is viewing me as someone I’m not.
