THE MELDING OF MUSIC's POP STARS AND MOVIES

Recording artists becoming movie stars is nothing new. But it is crazy amazing for a successful pop artist to become a critically acclaimed actor. From Cher, Frank Sinatra, Barbara Streisand and Jennifer Hudson taking home Oscars to Lady Gaga, Queen Latifah, Mary J Blige, Bette Midler, Diana Ross, Mark Wahlberg and Will Smith having Oscar nominations for their acting chops, the double threat is real. Hell, there’s been great performances from recording artists on screen from the likes of Justin Timberlake, Prince, Mariah Carey, Elvis Presley, Ice Cube, Harry Styles, Lenny Kravitz, Beyonce, Eminem, Rihanna and many more. This year Pop stars are once again taking on the immense challenge of the big screen. Ed Sheeran’s playing himself (ok, not as great of a challenge as some roles…but still) in the Beatles inspired rom-com, “Yesterday”. Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B and Lizzoare in the modern Robin Hood/stripper (yes I just put those words together) story, “Hustlers” out this September. And the much anticipated movie musical “Cats”, set to drop in December, will star Jennifer Hudson, Jason Derulo and the “could she be cast more perfectly”, Taylor Swift. 

This weekend I’m taking on the best party music challenge with exclusive HK remixes of some of these recording artists turned movie stars. Get ready to turn up the volume on remixes of hit tracks from Ed Sheeran, Lizzo and Taylor Swift. Plus I’ll be mashing in mashups and blending bangers from Shawn Mendes, Halsey, Bazzi, Katy Perry, Jonas Brothers, Ellie Goulding, Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars, Panic! At The Disco, Billie Eilish and so much more!

Remember…if it's hot, if it's new and it makes you wanna move…you're In The Mix with HK™.

ED SHEERAN'S DROPPING AN OUTRAGEOUSLY STAR STUDDED ALBUM

This Weekend Ed Sheeran’s new album “No. 6 Collaborations Project” drops. Three of the singles from that album are already in the top 40 of Billboard’s Hot 100 chart with his joint Justin Bieber track hitting #4. The album impressively has various musical styles ranging from Caribbean-accented dance-pop to glowing R&B balladry and even a hair-metal jam. The LP’s collab's read like a who’s who of artists with Bruno Mars, Skrillex, Cardi B, Eminem, Chris Stapleton, Camila Cabello, Khalid and others all adding their skills. The Managing Director of Sheeran’s label said of the album – “ Obviously, Ed can write songs on his own. But it’s just more fun to do it with other people”.

I can’t wait to have fun mixing up a few of Ed’s new tracks this weekend on In The Mix with HK™! Get ready for custom HK remixes on P!nk, Sam Smith & Normani, Bryce Vine, Taylor Swift, Dan & Shay, Jonas Brothers, Lewis Capaldi and so much more! Like new beats from Ava Max, The Chainsmokers with Bebe Rexha, Post Malone and Avicii with Aloe Blacc.

JENNIFER DENALI's "PAINKILLER" A HK PICK TO HIT™

Jennifer Denali is a passionate pop singer-songwriter with powerfully soulful pipes and an innate stylish flair. However, doubt, depression and lack of confidence initially obscured her way in music. Since then she has taken time to heal  herself and start over. Jennifer has broken through the storm, stepped back into the pop arena and is confidently embracing her gifts through self –love. She’s been favorably compared to Madonna, Amy Winehouse and Mariah Carey. Her songs are intimate and broadly resonate with themes of love lost, wisdom gleaned and spiritual uplift. Just last week the remixes of Jennifer’s track “Painkiller”  dropped  and she’s currently embarked on an East Coast Tour. This week I talk with Jennifer about the stories behind her music, her new single “Try”, the empowerment of new beginnings and what lies ahead. 

I’ve also got some serious music empowerment ready to blow up your holiday weekend! Oh yeah..the hits are gonna be poppin’ like fireworks with custom HK remixes on Katy Perry, Lizzo, Lil Nas X with Billy Ray Cyrus, Khalid, Billie Eilish, AJ Mitchel, Halsey, Travis Scott and The Weeknd. Plus new jams from Jennifer Denali, Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and So-Much-More!

THE TRUTH DOESN'T HURT FOR LIZZO

The truth is Lizzo’s track The Truth Hurts is bouncing up the charts and heating up the airwaves. This single has become a viral hit almost 2 years after its release thanks, in part, to the Netflix film Someone Great which featured it. And hells yeah! it’s worth YouTubeing the dance scene with Gina Rodriguez and DeWanda Wise from the film. With lyrics like “You’re ‘posed to hold me down, but you’re holding me back - And that’s the sound of me not calling you back” , makes this the go-to breakup empowerment song. I gotta agree with Lizzo’s bio which states- “Channeling boundless self-confidence through a downright earth-quaking voice, colorful persona, and undeniable star power, Lizzo struts into the spotlight and steps up with a whole lot of sass, spirit, and soul.” 

This weekend on In The Mix with HK™ I’m channeling Lizzo’s sass, spirit and soul when I remix the s*** out of her hit, Truth Hurts. I’m also throwin’ down custom HK remixes on Post Malone, Shawn Mendes, 5 Seconds of Summer, Halsey, AJ Mitchell, Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus! Plus I’m droppin’ new beats from Taylor Swift, Kygo and Rita Ora, Miley Cyrus, and So-Much-More!
