Ludmilla who used to go by the stage name “MC Beyoncé” has the distinction of being the first Black Latin-American female musician to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify. She has so far surpassed 2.3 billion streams on Spotify (all credits)
Sean’s manager Steve Urchin who was on the music video set posted on Ludmilla’s instagram on Thursday, “Was so great to finally meet u! #Obrigado!!!!”
The Warner Brazil artist released her studio album Numanice #2 on August 23 and in less than 24 hours it was streamed a million times.
“It’s beautiful to see this project reached so many people, even more beautiful is to see you hugging and singing these songs that came out of my heart. I have been following the entire launch closely and I am very happy and proud to have insisted that it happen. I think we can’t even imagine ourselves without Numanice anymore”, Ludmilla said about the album’s reception.
She previously collaborated with Mr. Vegas on the song Socadona which currently has 52 million YouTube views. Ludmilla will be one of the performers at “Lollapalooza” Brazil 2023. The festival takes place on March 24, 25 and 26 next year.
Meanwhile Sean Paul and Gwen Stefani had the temperature right for season 22 of The Voice! The Battle Rounds kicked off on Monday, and Sean Paul was there to help Team Gwen!
“It reminds me of myself,” Sean told ET of working with the aspiring stars when the pair sat down to discuss the Battles. “You know, when I see them as youngsters and they’re getting into the game, their eyes are all wide open. They’re ready.”
“They’re the ones that are winning,” Gwen agreed. “We’re just sort of there to download our experiences and try to see how we can help… At this point in my life, it’s just super rewarding.”
“I love that energy,” Sean added. “It keeps me inspired.”
At the end of the show Sean said it was “amazing”.
Gwen said both she and Sean always had a connection although their first collaboration is Light My Fire feat. Shenseea.
“[I’ve] definitely felt her vibes, her voice and all of that from No Doubt days all the way through ‘Bananas’ days… straight up to now,” Sean agreed. “She’s awesome… when she said yes, I did a little dance.”
Gwen was similarly thrilled to team up with the reggae legend, noting her connection to Jamaican music predates even No Doubt’s dancehall-inspired 2001 album, Rock Steady.
“I grew up loving ska music, which was, at the time, like, super underground,” she noted. “[There were] a lot of English groups like Madness, The Specials, and The Selecter, which led me into reggae music… And then, it’s just crazy to think that all these years later, I’m standing with a legend.”
