Lido Pimienta ft (feat. Li Saumet) - Nada

Lido Pimienta has been making waves globally ever since her 2016 Polaris Prize-Winning album of the year. Her music blends Afro, Indigenous, Colombian, Canadian, punk, and traditional musical styles (to name a few). Known for her stunning visuals and meaningful lyrics, Pimienta is here to make her mark.

Lido draws her inspiration from acts like A Tribe Called Red, Inuk throat singer Tanya Tagaq, and Cardi B. Her recent album, Miss Colombia, has earned a 2021 Grammy Nomination for Best Latin Rock, Urban, or Alternative Album, and it won as Best Alternative Album at the 2020 Latin Grammys.

Nada, a song and video off the album, features Colombian artist Li Saumet. It speaks about the trials and tribulations of motherhood and the toll it can take on a woman's mental and physical health. Shot in the tropical paradise of Costeño Beach, Colombia, the pair are seen dressed in intricate lace gowns, attached by braids to one another sitting peacefully with their children until Lido collapses and surrenders to the river.

Val Blavatnik to Oversee Warner Music Canada in New Role at Warner Music Group

Blavatnik will oversee Warner Music Canada as managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at WMG. As part of a slew of executive announcements, Simon Robson will be leaving the company, while Alejandro Duque takes the top international role.

Val Blavatnik, the 28-year-old son of Warner Music Group majority owner and vice chairman Len Blavatnik, has been named managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at the Warner Music Group, the company announced Friday (Sept. 25). In his new role the younger Blavatnik, who has held several roles at the company in recent years, and has been a board member since 2023, expects to “unify and drive business and operational strategy across these markets while guiding the company’s investment strategy to support growth,” according to a press release.

The Blavatnik announcement is part of a flurry of new executive announcements that CEO Robert Kyncl made this morning. In addition, Atlantic Music Group chairman/CEO Elliot Grainge will take on ADA in the U.S. as its new chairman, while Alejandro Duque, who has held the dual roles of president of Warner Latin and president of ADA since last July, has been named president of Warner Music International, adding Asia-Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa under his oversight. (Duque will continue to oversee ADA outside the U.S.) Zach Friedman, currently COO at Atlantic Music Group, will add the title of vice chair of ADA U.S. to his resume.
