The singer Duffy, who had largely disappeared from the public eye since her 2008 hit “Mercy,” has released a new song after revealing her traumatic experience being drugged, raped and held against her will.

In February, the 35year-old Welsh native posted an Instagram detailing her dark ordeal. “Many of you wonder what happened to me, where did I disappear to and why,” she wrote. “The truth is, and please trust me I am ok and safe now, I was raped and drugged and held captive over some days. Of course I survived.”

Since the incident, she says she’s beginning to feel like herself again.

“The recovery took time. There’s no light way to say it. But I can tell you in the last decade, the thousands and thousands of days I committed to wanting to feel the sunshine in my heart again, the sun does now shine,” she said.

The new song, a piano-backed ballad called “River in the Sky,” addresses her journey to the light. It’s “for the better days to come,” she wrote on Instagram Thursday morning, debuting the track.

A petition to replace every Confederate statue in Tennessee with sculptures of Dolly Parton has racked up over 14,000 signatures on Change.org.

“Tennessee is littered with statues memorializing Confederate officers. History should not be forgotten, but we need not glamorize those who do not deserve our praise,” reads the appeal, written by Alex Parsons. “Instead, let us honor a true Tennessee hero, Dolly Parton.”

It’s not just the 74-yearold country legend’s music career that makes her an eligible replacement, the petition continues: She is a philanthropist and a literacy and education activist.

“Let’s replace the statues of men who sought to tear this country apart with a monument to the woman who has worked her entire life to bring us closer together,” Parsons concludes.

Last week Teyana Taylor revealed she was expecting her second child in her “Wake Up Love” video, also featuring her husband — former New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets player Iman Shumpert — and their daughter Junie, 4. But before welcoming baby No. 2, the 29-year-old Harlem singer has another major arrival: her third LP, simply titled “The Album,” which drops today.

The star-studded set is an event record, featuring a who’s who of R&B and hip-hop, from Erykah Badu, Kehlani and Missy Elliott to Future, Migos’

Quavo and Big Sean. “The Album” even ends with a spoken-word cameo from the elusive Ms. Lauryn Hill on the rousing rhyme-fest “We Got Love,” produced by Kanye West, Taylor’s label head.

But mostly this affair is all about slow-jam sexiness — exactly the kind of baby-making music that is bringing on a little sister for Junie.

WATCH

The upcoming reimagining of “Candyman” might be even more bone-chilling than the original.

Director Nia DaCosta shared an eerie but stunning animated teaser for her reboot of the 1992 horror classic, which resonates now more than ever amid the Black Lives Matter movement, heightened by the recent police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and many others.

“CANDYMAN, at the intersection of white violence and black pain, is about unwilling martyrs. The people they were, the symbols we turn them into, the monsters we are told they must have been,” DaCosta, 30, tweeted along with the haunting video, which features shadow puppets and no dialogue.

The 2 ½-minute filmlike teaser loosely depicts the origins of the movie’s central character. Puppets are tortured by police and mobs, vilified, shunned, abused and exiled.

The movie, produced and co-written by Jordan Peele, will pay homage to the original. Both feature Tony Todd as the titular character, who emerges when his name is uttered five times. The 2020 version, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (pictured below) will explore the gentrification of Chicago’s Cabrini-Green housing projects that are the setting in the original.

“Candyman” was originally slated for a June release but was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The film now hits theaters Sept. 25.
