"As a startup in the ever-evolving creator economy, we are constantly testing and adapting our business model," the Jellysmack spokesperson told BI in a statement.

BI viewed two Jellysmack contracts and an email exchange between Jellysmack and one of its creator clients to verify the practice.

☆ The Best Peak-Summer Tomato Recipes, Straight From Rome
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-22 | by ( Leah Koenig | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

AS I WATCHED Ghily Guetta cook in her sunny kitchen in Rome’s Piazza Bologna neighborhood, I couldn’t help but notice just how many expressions of tomato lined her countertops. A wide bowl brimmed with a mix of petite cherry tomatoes and oblong Romas. A tube of brick-red tomato paste lay half squeezed and waiting on a saucer. And standing at attention were a half-dozen glass bottles of passata, the uncooked, unadulterated tomato purée beloved across Italy. Nearly every pot that Guetta, 34, stirred on her stovetop in preparation for her family’s Shabbat dinner that evening simmered with something fragrant and red.

☆ Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Chemistry’ Draws on Familiar Formulas
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-26 | by ( Lindsay Zoladz | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +2 min

The track list — featuring song titles like “I Hate Love,” “My Mistake” and “Red Flag Collector” — practically screamed divorce, babe, divorce. But Clarkson, 41, said she wanted “Chemistry” to depict a full arc of a relationship, including its high points. (A remix by David Guetta kicks the song into an even higher gear.) The slower, sultry “Magic” addresses a more long-term devotion: “Magic takes time, and I’ve got my sights and they’re set on you,” she sings breathily. Clarkson delivers these vocals with her signature virtuosity, but she doesn’t quite inhabit these relatively faceless songs as fully as she does when she’s singing about love gone wrong.

☆ Sting: AI songs are 'going to be a battle we all have to fight'

“That’s going to be a battle we all have to fight in the next couple of years: Defending our human capital against AI,” he added. Contentious debate over AI songs has arisen in the music industry over the last few months, with several high-profile figures being affected by the growth in the technology’s popularity. I imagine I will feel the same way about AI making music,” said Sting. But for songs, you know, expressing emotions, I don’t think I will be moved by it,” he added. Universal Music Group, which represents Sting, likened AI music to “fraud” in an urgent letter sent to music streaming platforms, such as Spotify and Apple Music, in April.

New York CNN —Universal Music Group — the music company representing superstars including Sting, The Weeknd, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande — has a new Goliath to contend with: artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence, and specifically AI music, learns by either training on existing works on the internet or through a library of music given to the AI by humans. That could possibly threaten UMG’s deep library of music and artists that generate billions of dollars in revenue. “However, the training of generative AI using our artists’ music … begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on.”The company said AI that uses artists’ music violates UMG’s agreements and copyright law. Grammy-winning DJ and producer David Guetta proved in February just how easy it is to create new music using AI.

☆ Moody's outlook downgrade fuels split reaction in Israel

Moody's Investors Service on Friday lowered Israel's outlook to stable from positive while affirming its sovereign credit rating of "A1". The legislative push has sparked weeks of intensifying mass protests and Moody's said it reflected weaker institutions. This would "stop the deterioration of the Israeli economy," it said. Israel's economy grew 6.5% in 2022 but the Bank of Israel foresees 2.5% growth this year. On the heels of Moody's action, Israeli government bond prices were down as much as 1.1%, while Tel Aviv share indexes were down 0.2%.

An early Twitter investor appeared to mock Elon Musk in a letter posted on the site on Tuesday. Leonidas Raisini said he'd sell his shares if Musk turns down his offer to buy the company for $14.3 billion. The letter includes a lot of the phrasing used by Musk when he offered to buy Twitter in April. However, since you acquired Twitter, you have not kept your promise of free speech and Twitter has become a breeding ground for online hate and terrorism. Together with my partners, my fund has secured the funding to buy Twitter.

Keenan Cahill, a popular YouTube creator who made lip-sync videos with celebrities like 50 Cent, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber and more, died on Thursday after open-heart surgery on Dec. 15. On his YouTube account, which has roughly 721,000 subscribers, Cahill’s videos have garnered more than 500 million views. He posted his first lip-sync video in August 2010 to Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” which has reached 58 million views. A year later, the pop star met up with Cahill in person and they filmed a video together. Cahill’s most popular video was with 50 Cent, where they lip-synced “Down on Me,” to the tune of 60 million total views.

Turns out it’s the same sample, a sleight of ear designed to trigger warm nostalgia, and also maybe a little confusion. Even its video is optimized for recognition, with Santana doing the same stomp Beyoncé does in hers, in an almost identical outfit. Throughout 2022, that gambit has been deployed again and again — by pop singers and rappers, established stars and newbies. Here, old songs — hip-hop classics, pop novelties and more — are scrunched and stretched sometimes to the point of absurdity. These songs are concessions that say the quiet part out loud — everyone has always been borrowing voraciously, from everyone else, constantly.

☆ Why Saudi Arabia is hosting one of the world's biggest raves

The kingdom’s Soundstorm music festival, which began in 2019, is back again for its fourth year and will start on Thursday. “(It) is a particularly powerful example because it seeks to bring together young people and women from across Saudi Arabia and the world,” she said. By contrast, Las Vegas’ Electric Daisy Carnival, considered North America’s biggest dance music festival, had an attendance of over 400,000 this year. Last year, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said that performers should either “speak up” about Saudi Arabia’s human rights violations or not attend the festival at all. Some however argue that opening up countries to international norms and values can allow for better discussion on human rights shortcomings.
