Concerning the cover artwork, done by David Ardinaryas Lojaya, Bellion said in an interview to Complex, "It's just a big illustration of my frustration. Everytime you hear me say 'but maybe thats ok' is what you are seeing, it matches the intensity of the lyric in that moment. The entire song up until that point is the Kamehameha wave build up."[1]
Since people are talking about who would be cool to see collab, and I've had this thought for a while. But I feel that Jon and Nate would be incredible together, I would imagine Jon writing the chorus, help with production and even maybe have a verse. For those that don't know Jon Bellion too well, he is an extremely singer, songwriter, producer, etc... He's written/produced numerous songs and in his own music you can see a lot of the more introspective aspects that NF is known for and with that I feel they could mesh very well and they both have very large varieties when it comes to their sound. (They also happen to be my #1 and #2 favorite artists)
The pre-chorus talks about how the unknown and the unpredictable are an essential part of life and faith. Without challenges and mistakes, there wouldn't be room for growth and learning. Believing in something greater than ourselves requires relying on trust and hope rather than logic and certainty. The chorus repeats the phrase "maybe I don't know," which suggests that the singer is comfortable with admitting his limitations and flaws.
The bridge introduces a deeper philosophical and existential question about the meaning of life and whether it's controlled by destiny or chance. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the theme of acceptance and the power of acknowledging our limitations. The song ends on a hopeful note, suggesting that not having all the answers is not a weakness but rather an opportunity for growth and acceptance. Overall, "Maybe IDK" encourages listeners to embrace their vulnerabilities and uncertainties and to find peace in not having everything under control.
But Jon is a true artist. He creates his album art, he creates all of his music, and he produces it as well. He does it all, but he is not a one-man show. Although their names may not be known to the public, Jon has a really great backing band. They do not just hang out in the background; they are actually a big part of the show and he clearly enjoys performing with them. He also was joined on stage by Travis Mendes, who he has collaborated with on a few tracks, throughout the evening.
"When I first started working with Jon Bellion, we were just beginning to scratch the surface on a new sound that truly felt like my own," Kelly explains in a video celebrating the release of her self-titled EP tori. "I know that I'm gonna look back on this collaboration as the start of something really special." As for Bellion's thoughts on his latest project? "Tori Kelly's the greatest vocalist of all time!"
One of the biggest moments came courtesy of SZA. The artist is known for wearing her heart on her sleeve, and SOS album highlight "Kill Bill" was a buffet of toxic "what if" scenarios. The singer let jealousy overcome her emotions as she couldn't stand to see her ex-lover move on: "I might kill my ex, I still love him though/ Rather be in jail than alone." On a similar note, Olivia Rodrigo's "vampire" finds the pop star tapping into a new level of fury. The lead single from her sophomore album, GUTS, "vampire" shoots bloody daggers at a manipulative boyfriend.
While Changes is undoubtedly a more subdued, grounded thematic work for Bieber, some of his best work has always come from him having fun. Changes doesn't entirely abandon that, with lead single "Yummy" a welcome sign Bieber still knows how to let loose. The track is silky smooth, letting Bieber flex his R&B prowess to the fullest extent.
I'm not really one for small talk. I think that's why I am still here. I like to get down to the heart of somebody and I know that takes a lot of trust. I'm grateful that I've been able to work with artists that allow the space for vulnerability and for authenticity, and for us to be able to speak openly and honestly about things we're going through.
That was pretty surreal. I don't really fangirl a lot; I've been in enough rooms with people to know that we all laugh the same and cry the same and bleed the same. But then I remember hearing Britney sing this into the microphone for the first time and I just began melting into the floor, in shock and awe.
If he had told me that it was the 100th anniversary, I probably would have been really stressed out. I'm a Disney fan. I've been a Disney fan since I was a kid; I love Disney songs. And so there was already that added pressure to make something that's going to stand the test of time. But I also think that because I grew up with [Disney] it is probably in my psyche more than I even know. And so I wanted to make a song that felt really classic and really powerful and really beautiful, but also still sounded like something that I would write.
Dapper Dan, the legendary designer known as "the king of knock-offs," played a pivotal role in transforming luxury fashion into a symbol of empowerment and resistance for hip-hop stars, hustlers, and athletes starting in the 1980s. His Harlem boutique, famously open 24 hours a day, became a hub where high fashion collided with the grit of the streets.
Tupac Shakur's runway appearance at the 1996 Versace runway show was a remarkable and unexpected moment in fashion history. The show was part of Milan Fashion Week, and Versace was known for pushing boundaries and embracing popular culture in their designs. In Fashion Killa, Krishnamurpy documents Shakur's introduction to Gianni Versace and his participation in the 1996 Milan runway show, where he walked arm-in-arm with Kadida Jones.
Many other female artists donned oversized, menswear-inspired looks, including TLC and their known love for matching outfits featuring baggy overalls, denim, and peeking boxer shorts and Missy Elliott's famous "trash bag" suit worn in her 1997 music video for "The Rain." Speaking to Elle Magazine two decades after the original video release Elliot told the magazine that it was a powerful symbol that helped mask her shyness, "I loved the idea of feeling like a hip hop Michelin woman."
Eventually, spurred by public outrage, the controversy led to a collaboration between Gucci and Dapper Dan, a significant moment in luxury fashion's acknowledgement and celebration of the contributions of Black culture, including streetwear and hip-hop to high fashion. "Had Twitter not spotted the, "Diane Dixon" [jacket] walking down the Gucci runway and then amplified that conversation on social media... I don't think we would have had this incredible comeback," Sowmya Krishnamurphy says.
But Cardi B's fashion influence extends beyond her penchant for custom high-end designer pieces (like her 2021 gold-masked Schiaparelli look, one of nine looks in an evening.) Her unique ability to blend couture glamour with urban chic (she's known for championing emerging designers and streetwear brands) fosters a sense of inclusivity and diversity, and makes her a true trendsetter.
Jonathan David Bellion[2] (born December 26, 1990) is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, and record producer. He was born and raised in Lake Grove, New York on Long Island.[3] He is best known for his song "All Time Low," along with his writing and producing credits. Bellion has released four mixtapes and two studio albums. His first, The Human Condition, was released on June 10, 2016, and it debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200.[4] He released his second studio album, Glory Sound Prep, on November 9, 2018. He is currently signed to Visionary Music Group[5] and Capitol Records. Bellion also opened the concerts from the third leg of Twenty One Pilots' Emotional Roadshow World Tour, which also featured guest artists Judah and the Lion. In addition to his own work, he has also produced and written songs for artists including Maroon 5, Justin Bieber, the Jonas Brothers, Halsey, Camila Cabello, Selena Gomez, Tori Kelly, Rosé and Max.
Bellion has stated on multiple occasions that Kanye West is one of his biggest inspirations. "I loved everything but it was Kanye West who really changed everything for me." Bellion has also stated that he was inspired by Eminem, Pharrell Williams, Coldplay, John Mayer, André 3000, and Paul Simon.[33][34] Bellion has also made it known that he is a big fan of J Dilla and animated film studio Pixar, drawing inspiration from the musician and computer animation film studio for both The Definition and The Human Condition. Bellion explains that he loves how Pixar movies are "simple yet presented in a way that is groundbreaking".[35] Bellion credits much of his musical development and success to his bandmates whom he met while in college, expressing his love for them in his "Beautiful Mind Documentary" stating, "everybody in my band has taught me something, and has gotten me to where I am because of them" continuing "I surround myself with people better than me at something, you will very rarely see somebody around me, especially musically, who I don't look up to".[36]
Some people may know Jon Bellion, some may not. He is a 24-year-old musician from Long Island, New York. He grew up in the Sachem School District (as did I) and has been making and producing music since he was a teenager.
Most people can only dream of having as much of a bond with their sibling as Bellion does with his sister, Christianne Jensen. Bellion is growing up and doing big boy things, but he knows when he needs her, his sister will always be there for him. Jensen joins him in the track, and with a simple piano riff supporting them, they sound phenomenal together.
