Hi Bestie, WeTalkSound in the house, We Do Not Play.🚀 (If you don’t get this reference, keep scrolling)

We are thrilled to introduce our weekly roundup newsletter covering the most interesting news from the world of pop-culture + a lot of WeTalkSound Tea. This week’s newsletter touches on Barbie, Odumodublvck and YKB.

Let’s Dive In.

1. Did you know Odumodublvck wanted to be a footballer before he discovered his talent in music?

Welp, our favourite creator, Oluwakanyin highlighted some facts about the “BIG GUN.” The artist whose hit song, "Declan Rice," was featured during the unveiling of Declan Rice by the English football club Arsenal, is undoubtedly the standout breakout star of this year.

2. Fashion and Firsts With YKB

In the debut episode of our exciting new series, "Fashion & Firsts," we had the pleasure of sitting down with the uber stylish Afropop singer, YKB (“San Siro”, “Bo Card”).

During our conversation, he dissects some of his personal favorite looks while taking us on a journey through his memorable firsts. This video offers a unique opportunity to witness YKB's quirks and humor, bringing him to life in a way you've never seen before.

3. Hi, Barbie or Ken.

Last weekend, our team visited the Ebonylife Cinemas for a screening of the highly anticipated Barbie movie. Curious to know what other moviegoers thought about the film, we took the initiative to chat with fellow cinema attendees to gather their insights and overall rating of the movie. Without giving away any spoilers, we compiled their exciting and diverse opinions, providing you with a sneak peek into the audience’s reactions.

We want to hear from you too! Join in on the conversation and share your thoughts about the Barbie movie in the comments section. [NO SPOILERS]

4. The Ultimate Afrobeats Barbie

We reimagined our Afrobeats Queens as different types of Barbie dolls. From DJ Cuppy to Tiwa Savage, Ayra Starr and Liya, the list is quite extensive.
