Charli XCX, Diplo, and Herve Pagez reimagine the Spice Girls in ‘Spicy’

Fresh off the success of her joint track with Lizzo, Charli XCX is back with another massive collaboration. On Thursday (May 30), the pop star, along with Diplo and Herve Pagez, released their summer-ready collaboration, “Spicy.” If the track sounds familiar, that’s because it’s a reimagined version of the Spice Girls’ 1996 smash single, “Wannabe.”

In addition to the track, the trio also unleashed the song’s insane, neon-colored, 90s space video game-inspired music video. Yes, there are even dancing and guitar-playing dolphins. The two-and-a-half-minute clip was directed by Reed + Rader. Watch “Spicy” above.

Charli XCX is going to have a busy summer with a slew of previously confirmed shows. The artist will hit the stage at New York’s Governors Ball Music Festival (June 2), co-headline Los Angeles’ Go West Fest with Troye Sivan (June 6), and take over the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago (July 21). After that, she’ll head across the pond for Radio 1 Big Weekend in Newcastle and Primavera Sound in Barcelona.

As for Diplo, the DJ just released a brand new promotional video for his upcoming Super Mega Ultra Giant Mad Decent Block Party Festival. Watch the clip featuring Julian Edelman of the New England Patriots here.

In April, Diplo announced he had joined forces with Synergy Global Entertainment (SGE) to launch the newest addition to his famed Mad Decent Block Party series.

The Super Mega Ultra Giant Mad Decent Block Party Festival will invade the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts during the weekend of July 20-21.

Billie Ellish, Major Lazer, G-Eazy, Miguel, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Dillon Francis, Kodak Black, Quinn XCII, Rezz, RL Grime, Zeds Dead, Flosstradamus, Pusha T, and more are set to perform during the inaugural event. The two-day fest will also include the world’s largest bounce house, go-kart racing courtesy of K1 Speed, and paintball.

Sia’s ‘Catching Fire’ Song Debuts

Last week was a good week for news concerning the soundtrack for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. 

Everyday, it looked like the people behind the major film were giving fans news about the soundtrack as a way to hold them over until the sequel opens up in theaters.

First, there was news that The National were almost left off the soundtrack because their contribution had been too dark; they ended up being on the soundtrack at the end. Then Christina Aguilera announced via Twitter that she had been working on a new song that would only be seen (or heard) on the soundtrack.

Following that announcement, the full list of musicians and their songs had been released, revealing a mixed bag of artists making it on the album. On Friday, a Seattle radio station debuted a live version of the Lumineers’ contribution, “Gale Song” from a show that the band had performed at.

And just when you think that wasn’t enough to tide you over until November, today, Sia’s song for the soundtrack made its own debut on the internet. The song which is titled, “Elastic Heart” premiere on Zane Lowe’s radio show on BBC Radio 1. The song which not only features the Titanium singer, but also The Weeknd and Diplo is currently available online, or you can just simply listen to it here.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is due out on November 22 with the soundtrack coming out that Tuesday, November 19.

Diplo Producing a Film for Fox

Deadline.com is reporting that electronic dance music superstar, Diplo has been contacted by 20th Century Fox about producing a film about the EDM craze. The feature film was acquired by the company and will be written by Adam Weinstock and Andy Jones, while Underground’s Trevor Engelson will be taking over the producing area.

Underground has joined forces with Diplo and his business partner, Kevin Kusatsu who will be labeled as executive producers alongside Noah Rothman. The picture is being pitched as “8 Mile meets Project X in tone, as three teens try to get into Diplo’s Electronic Music Festival,” described Deadline.

So far, that’s all the information that has been given about the film. No working title or when it might start filming let alone be released as been given.
