Just Ivy Songstress dishes on working with Akon, her new single, and her forthcoming album

International Pop upstart Just Ivy is in the midst of something special. Having already worked with Akon, getting numerous industry co-signs, and working with the legendary Laurieann Gibson, Ivy is definitely heading in the right direction. She recently released her Akon-assisted debut single, "Paradise," and is prepping her DJ Khaled produced second single "Bad Girl Takeover," featuring hip-hop star, Meek Mill, for release. We caught up with Just Ivy to find out more about her, and how she is handling her newfound success.

 How did the collaboration between yourself and Akon come about, and what were some things you learned working with a superstar so early in your career?

It came about as our managers thought it would be a great fit to do this song together, and we made it happen! It was an incredibly elevating experience working with Akon, watching him help craft this record in the studio, bringing his legendary vibe and energy into this song, which gave it that extra pop, and good-feel party record that we were aiming for.　

Your upcoming single, ‘Bad Girl Takeover,’ also features a hip-hop star in Meek Mill, how does this song differ from ‘Paradise’ and how was it incorporating Meek’s street edge into your more pop/soul soundscape?

I'm in love with the 'Bad Girl Takeover' song! But it's something totally different to Paradise. It is produced by DJ Khaled, with whom I’ve worked with for a while now, and it's been an honor for me. He is very talented and amazing to work with, and his energy, professionalism, and enthusiasm is everything!

When we were working on ‘Bad Girl Take Over,’ DJ Khaled said "we need to get someone that has the streets on fire on this track," and suggested Meek Mill.

Meek just hit it off from the second he walked in the studio.　It was an incredible experience to see the whole process, him writing lyrics and going straight to the booth, he is so talented... His part on the record makes it edgy but beautiful, a gritty feel. He just "brings it."

You’ve noted some of your influences as Beyoncé and Michael Jackson, and you are currently working with the legendary Laurieann Gibson.  What has it meant for you to have such influential talent guiding you in the performance aspect of the business, and has anything caught you by surprise as you have worked with Laurieann?

Working with Laurieann Gibson means a lot to me, I feel so blessed. She is the best in what she does. She is wonderful, talented and a very smart woman, and I love her not only for her work, but for her heart and personality. Spending everyday together perfecting our show you get to know and feel each other pretty well.

Laurieanne brings out a lot out of me, we are working very hard, and I love every minute of it. I gained a great deal of knowledge from her and she has an incredible work ethic.　

I always knew that she makes you work really hard and that's what I love, so there were no surprises.

Having lived in both Europe and the U.S., and with each having a fairly distinct sound, do you think your sound favors one or the other, and how would you personally describe your sound?

I have records, which differ from one another. From pop to urban, and both mixed together, but at this stage it’s too early to describe my sound. Same when it comes to U.S. and Europe sounds favoring one another...maybe some listeners will feel that, and some not but to me its all about music, I never really thought of that differentiation aspect...

You’re currently working on your debut album, what can listeners expect from the project?

The album is a work in progress, but I can tell you already that it will have everything from hip- hop to pop elements, which is one of the reasons that we chose to release ‘Paradise’ as the first single, and follow that with ‘Bad Girl Take Over.’

I am still in the studio working and writing new songs with very talented producers and songwriters, and we are doing our best to please the music lovers.

You already have huge A-List co-signs, do you have any dream collaborators you’d like to work with?

I am already overwhelmed and very happy with the number of great and talented people I have worked and still working with. It’s really a dream come true and we have more songs coming!

Jennifer Lawrence got crickets for Oscar

Jennifer Lawrence was surprised with 200 crickets as a joke following her Oscar win.
The 23-year-old screen beauty was the target of the prank by her 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' co-star Jeffrey Wright who decided to trick her into receiving a box of creepy crawlies disguised as a congratulatory gift after she won the Academy Award for Best Female actress earlier this year.
Speaking at a press conference for the film in London this week, Jeffery told BANG Showbiz: 'Right after Jennifer won the Oscar I gave her a gift, of a Tiffany box filled with about 200 crickets.'
Unfortunately the prank back-fired on the 47-year-old actor, who had to sleep in a room full of insects after some of the crickets escaped.
He explained: 'What I didn't calculate was that when you try and stuff 200 crickets into a Tiffany box that many of them spill out into your hotel room and hop under your bed and behind your dresser. I couldn't sleep!'
Jennifer, 21, reprises her role as Katniss Everdeen in the 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire', while Josh Hutcherson returns as Katniss' love interest Peeta Mellark.

Taylor Swift not afraid to show ‘raw emotions’

Taylor Swift is never afraid to show her 'raw, real emotions' in public.
The '22' hitmaker is famous for the personal content of her songs - which include a number of tracks written about her famous ex-boyfriends, which include Taylor Lautner, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer and One Direction's Harry Styles - and she hopes they send a message her fans can empathise with. 
She told New York magazine: 'I think allowing yourself to feel raw, real emotions in public is something I am never going to be afraid to do. 
'Hopefully that's the case, if I can remain a real human. I'm fine with being honest with my fans about the fact that it's okay that everything isn't okay all the time. 
'I love my life, I love my career, I love my friends - but things are not OK all the time. So I don't sing about things being OK all the time.'
The 23-year-old star started off her career as a country musician before making the leap to mainstream pop.
Taylor has been thinking about what the future holds for her career and plans to write children's songs when she gets older.
She revealed: 'When I'm 40 and nobody wants to see me in a sparkly dress anymore, I'll be, like, 'Cool, I'll just go in the studio and write songs for kids.' It's looking like a good pension plan.'

Justin Bieber makes party guests sign gagging agreement

Justin Bieber made his guests sign a confidentiality agreement prior to entering a party over the weekend.
The 19-year-old singer organised an extravagant bash for around 100 friends but only allowed them to enter on the condition they signed a binding contract, which if broke would result in them paying $3 million directly to him. 
According to TMZ - who obtained a copy of the agreement - guests and workers were prohibited from making posts on Twitter or Facebook, texting or using phones during the event or discussing in any way what went on behind the closed doors of his Calabasas mansion in Los Angeles County, California, on Friday night (15.11.13).
The document stipulated that anyone breaking the rules was liable to pay up the hefty sum with no exceptions, although Justin has reduced the fee from $5 million to $3 million according to a contract found for one of his previous parties.
However, it didn't take long for the 'Boyfriend' hitmaker to ignore his own strict rules about the party - which landed him in trouble with the police after neighbours complained about the noise 
As he got into his car on Saturday (16.11.13), he told a video paparazzo the opulent event was reminiscent of a scene from Leonardo DiCarprio's film 'The Great Gatsby', in which he plays wealthy party lover Jay Gatsby.
Justin said: 'It was wild. It was some Great Gatsby s**t, man.'
Sources told TMZ rapper Snoop Lion was among Justin's guests and police were called three times during the early hours of Saturday morning because of excessive noise.
The first call was made at about 1:00am and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputies advised revellers to calm things down. 
Further calls were made at 3:00am and 5.30am, one of which from Justin's next door neighbour who recently accused him of speeding up and down the street in a hazardous manner. 
The pop star sealed the deal on his $6.5 million mansion in the Californian suburb, near to the Kardashian residence, last year. 
The 10,000 sq ft home is sat on 1.3 acres of land and previously belonged to actor Eddie Murphy's ex-wife Nicole Mitchell.
