Camila Cabello’s Cinderella Pushed Back 

Camila Cabello’s portrayal of Cinderella has been pushed back until July 16. The live-action remake, written and directed by Kay Cannon, is a modern musical version of the classic fairy with a star-studded cast. 

The Señorita singer will play the titular character and will be joined by Billy Porter, Indian Menzel, Nicholas Galitzine and Minnie Driver

The original release date is Feb. 5, but Sony Studios have delayed the release due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Though details about the film have been kept under wraps, it is said that Cabello is going to have an integral part in the music of the film. We’ll have to wait until July to see the Cuban artist serenade us in the long-anticipated fairytale.

Selena Gomez Announces Spanish EP

Selena Gomez’s officially announced her highly anticipated Spanish EP is set to release on March 12. Revelación (Revelation) will explore Gomez’s latinidad as she dives deep into her Mexican roots. 

The announcement of Revelación comes shortly after she dropped her single De Una Vez, produced by Tainy, on Jan. 16 and Baila Conmigo on Jan. 29 with rapper Rauw Alejandro. The latter has already amassed over 19 million YouTube views within three days of its release. 

“This has been something I’ve wanted to do for 10 years, working on a Spanish project, because I’m so, so proud of my heritage, and just genuinely felt like I wanted this to happen,” Gomez told Apple Music. “And it happened, and I feel like it’s the perfect timing. Just with all the division in the world, there’s something about Latin music that globally just makes people feel things, you know?”
