Today (12th November) it came out the new album of Silk Sonic: “an evening with silk sonic”. to celebrate this album, that I considere very nice, I post this song:
LYRIC
Clouds are blowin’, don’t know where we’re goin’ But we’re levitatin’ up in this room (Ah-ah-ah) All these colors just like rainbows in summer Got us smilin’ like our dreams just came true (Yeah)
I took a little somethin’ to get here, yeah, yeah I got a little more if you’re ready, we can have it all
Oh, let’s tip-toe to a magical place Blast off and kiss the moon tonight And watch the world go crazy from outer space Blast off into the sky
As we’re flyin’, stars are multiplyin’ We’re up so high, we’d be fools to look down Shapes turn paisley, this is so amazin’ Destination, pure sensation startin’ right now (Woo)
I took a little somethin’ to get here, yeah, yeah I got a little more if you’re ready, we can have it all
Oh, let’s tip-toe to a magical place Blast off and kiss the moon tonight And watch the world go crazy from outer space Blast off into the sky
Into the sky Into the sky Dance all night on Saturn’s ring If you got some friends that you wanna bring, then come on It’s time to take this party up and beyond
Let’s tip-toe to a magical place (Come fly with me) Blast off and kiss the moon tonight (To the moon and the stars above) And watch the world go crazy from outer space Blast off into the sky
Blastin’ off straight to some good vibrations Can we take it higher? (Oh yeah) Blastin’ off straight to some good vibrations Can we take it higher? (Oh yeah) Blastin’ off straight to some good vibrations Can we take it higher? (Oh yeah) Blastin’ off straight to some good vibrations Can we take it higher? (Oh yeah, come on) Blastin’ off straight to some good vibrations Can we take it higher? (Oh yeah) All the way from the stratosphere Sendin’ love from up above Happy trails, baba
It was a shiny night for England-set shows and British actors at the Emmys.
Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso, which led all comedies with 20 nominations, claimed four trophies on Sunday night at the 73rd annual ceremony honoring excellence in TV. The feel-good story of 2020 centered on an American football coach (Jason Sudeikis) who moves to London to coach a professional soccer team in the Premiere League. When the game was over, Lasso netted statuettes for Outstanding Comedy Series, Lead Actor (Sudeikis), Supporting Actress (Hannah Waddingham), and Supporting Actor (Brett Goldstein).
On the drama side, The Crown, which was tied with The Mandalorian for the most-nominated drama series (24), began collecting jewels early and often. The Netflix drama that explores the reign of Queen Elizabeth II pulled off a trio of sweeps: Olivia Colman and Josh O’Connor won Lead Actress and Lead Actor, Gillian Anderson and Tobias Menzies triumphed in the supporting categories, and the show also nabbed writing and directing statuettes. Including wins at the Creative Arts Emmys, The Crown tallied 11 wins.
British actress Kate Winslet also wound up at the podium: The Mare of Easttownstar claimed the Lead Actress prize in the Limited Series category, with co-stars Evan Peters and Julianne Nicholson emerging victorious in the Supporting categories. London-born multi-hyphenate Michaela Coel scored a writing Emmy in the limited series category for her work on I May Destroy You. And another Brit, Ewan McGregor, scored a surprise win in the Lead Actor in a limited series category for Halston. And let’s not forgetLast Night with John Oliver, which claimed two awards.
The Cedric the Entertainer-hosted ceremony — which was held with a limited audience at L.A.’s Microsoft Theater, a departure from last year’s largely Zoom affair in the middle of the pandemic — was not kind to heavily nominated genre series WandaVision,The Mandalorian and Lovecraft Country, which never made it to the podium. (All three had better luck at the Creative Arts Emmys.) Things went much better for newcomer HBO Max comedy Hacks. In a category where three quarters of the Outstanding Comedy nominees were new — the beloved standup series starring Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder triumphed in the Lead Actress category (Smart) and edged fellow freshman Lasso in the writing and directing categories.
While this year’s field of nominees was the most diverse to date, all major acting awards went to white performers. RuPaul did make Emmy history for the most wins by a person of color as RuPaul’s Drag Race claimed its fourth consecutive Emmy trophy for Outstanding Competition Program. Elsewhere, The Queen’s Gambit won the limited series prize, Hamilton emerged victorious in the variety special category, and Debbie Allen was honored with the Governors Award. Scroll down for a complete list of winners.
