 Dolly Parton returns to public eye to celebrate opening day at Dollywood     Dolly Parton made her first public appearance in months to celebrate the opening day of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Friday. The country music icon reflected on the past year, a year after the death of her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, saying she is “doing good” and has been working to rebuild herself spiritually, emotionally, and physically after grieving and dealing with health issues that kept her from touring. Joined on stage by Dollywood president Eugene Naughton, Parton brought her trademark humor to the crowd, joking about rumors of a new husband while reaffirming her devotion to Dean. She also shared updates on her ongoing projects, including a new Broadway musical and her Dolly’s Life of Many Colors Museum in Nashville.

DRAKE AND THE WEEKND SONG COLLAB ABOUT SELENA GOMEZ,REMOVED FROM ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS.READ WHY.(PHOTO).



A new Drake and The Weeknd collab just dropped. Well, not quite…but an AI-generated song rendered in Drake’s voice featuring another voice that sounds like The Weeknd, called “Heart on My Sleeve,” dominated the FYP this weekend.

The TikTok video racked up more than 10 million views despite scratchy audio and faulty vocals.

Labels want things to go their way
While it may delight the internet, pop-hit-slinging AI is not music to the ears of artists and companies that own the rights to songs. And the threat to their business appears to be growing: AI versions of Rihanna and Eminem have also released unsanctioned tracks in recent weeks.

Though it wouldn’t confirm to Rolling Stone that it was responsible for taking down “Heart on My Sleeve,” UMG has been taking steps lately to curb the possibility of unauthorized AI jams.

According to the Financial Times, the company recently hit Spotify and Apple Music with requests to stop their users from scraping content to train AI systems.
UMG says AI parroting musical output could constitute copyright infringement and that it is prepared to protect artists’ rights.
Zoom out: “Heart on My Sleeve” may have been scrubbed from major platforms, but AI is recording its debut album—whether music industry executives like it or not. And the labels will still have to deal with what AI expert Roberto Nickson called a “modern Napster moment.”—SK
