At the time of her death, da Silva recalled how he would continue to honor Evora’s music:
“People suggested we do cover albums, fancy tributes, that kind of thing. I decided we should keep it simple, and give the world a new album of songs that, for various reasons, had never made it onto an album before.”
Mãe Carinhosa is coming out March 15th.

SELENA GOMEZ

Selena Gomez has been designing her own shoes with the label “Neo” under Adidas. She recently (February 6th) unveiled her shoe line for the 2013 Fashion Week in New York City.
I did take a look at adidas.com and as I suspected: not a whole lot of menswear.
I was drawn to the brighter-color shoes, like the BBNEO Raleigh, but I can’t ever see myself wearing these. They’re meant for young people, and that’s a barrier to entry.
What-what? An article on Gomez without mentioning her dumping Justin Bieber?
