Joshua from Seventeen unveils heartfelt cover of 'Love Is Gone' featuring Slander
Joshua of boy band Seventeen Joshua from Seventeen has agreed to a collab that no one saw coming. The singer teamed up with American EDM duo Slander for a soul-crushing cover of "Love Is Gone". An Emotional Track Let's get one thing straight: "Love Is Gone" by Slander featuring Dylan Matthew wasn't supposed to be this song. When it dropped in May 2019, it was just another addition to the endless scroll of EDM tracks. But then the acoustic version hit in November 2019. With over 600 million Spotify streams and 280 million YouTube views, the acoustic version stripped away all the festival-ready drops and left just haunting piano keys with vocals that left a lasting impact on listeners. When Honey Meets Heartbreak Joshua Hong , the American-born member of Seventeen who somehow manages to make every song sound like a warm hug wrapped. His version of "Love Is Gone" doesn't just cover the original-it completely reimagines it with the kind of vocal control that makes other singers question their career choices. Where Dylan Matthew's original delivery felt raw and desperate (in the best way), Joshua brings this almost ethereal quality that makes you feel like you're floating through your feelings instead of drowning in them. The genius of Joshua's interpretation lies in how he bridges two completely different approaches to heartbreak. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo Western pop tends to scream its pain from rooftops, while K-pop wraps emotions in delicate layers of poetry. Joshua's version honors both traditions, giving us the emotional gut punch of the original with the gentle sophistication that K-pop fans have come to expect. Number Game Jshua's cover is priced at about ₩1,000 (around ₹62). The real value, though, isn't in the price tag-it's in the cultural exchange rate. For independent artists watching from the sidelines, this collab proves that geographical boundaries are just suggestions now. A DJ duo from Los Angeles can work with a K-pop star from Seoul, and the result resonates with fans from Mumbai to Mexico City. Why This Matters More Than Your Instagram Stories This isn't just another celebrity collaboration cooked up in some boardroom between people who've never heard of either artist. This started with genuine mutual respect-Slander were actually fans of Seventeen long before they reached out. In an industry full of manufactured moments, this feels refreshingly authentic. Joshua has been quietly building his international presence, previously collaborating with Pink Sweat$ and contributing to a New Kids On The Block revival album. Each project adds another layer to his artistic identity beyond "the English-speaking member of that really popular K-pop group." For Slander, working with Joshua opens doors to the massive K-pop market, which has proven incredibly lucrative for Western artists who approach it with respect rather than opportunism. The key difference? This collaboration feels earned, not bought. The Verdict: Should You Add This to Your Crying Playlist? Joshua's "Love Is Gone" is crisp, his vocals are absolutely pristine, and the arrangement gives you enough emotional space to really feel everything without being overwhelmed. If you're already a fan of either Seventeen or Slander, this is obviously going straight to your "On Repeat" playlist. If you're new to either, this serves as a perfect introduction to both-Joshua's accessibility for international audiences and Slander's ability to create electronic music with actual emotional depth.

'Mujhe Daant Padi': Amitabh Bachchan Scolded Rajiv Rai For Making Kajol The Killer In Gupt
Director Rajiv Rai recalls Amitabh Bachchan scolding him for making Kajol the killer in Gupt. Director Rajiv Rai's 1997 thriller Gupt left a generation stunned with its shocking twist — Kajol, the film's beloved heroine, was revealed to be the murderer. The bold move to cast a female lead as the villain was considered groundbreaking in Hindi cinema at the time. But not everyone was on board with this twist — including none other than Amitabh Bachchan, who personally questioned Rai's decision ahead of the film's release. In a recent interview on the Ravi Buleiy Official YouTube channel, Rajiv Rai shared a fascinating anecdote about a trial screening of Gupt held in Chennai. Amitabh Bachchan had attended the show and called Rai the very next day. 'He said, 'Rajiv, are you convinced with what you have done in this film? You have made Kajol the killer, are you sure? How can you be so sure?' So in one way, as a senior, he scolded me," Rai said. 'Mere ko daant padi. He is a senior, he can obviously scold me." Rajiv went on to explain that despite Bachchan's doubts, he stood firm in his creative vision, 'He questioned me, 'How are you so confident that this will work?' I told him, 'Sir, I don't have an answer for your questions. It is Wednesday already, please wait for 2 days, you will get your answer.'" As history would have it, Gupt opened to critical and commercial success, and Kajol's performance earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Villain, becoming the first actress to win in that category. Rajiv Rai also recalled his early professional ties to Amitabh Bachchan, having worked as an assistant director on classic films like Trishul and Kaala Patthar, both of which starred the megastar. He revealed that during a challenging phase in Bachchan's career — between 1992 and 1994 — he developed a script with Anees Bazmee specifically for the legendary actor. Despite Rai's high hopes, Bachchan declined the project, 'He said that the phase that I am going through right now, I don't want to do any films. He was not going through a good phase then," Rai said. 'He was confused, and in that confusion, he said no. He is not a confused man but his circumstances were such." The rejection left Rai heartbroken, 'I was like, 'I worked so hard, I was angry with my destiny, not with Amitabh Bachchan. I thought if destiny does not want me to work with Amit ji, I will work with someone new, so I made Mohra with Suniel Shetty." That decision turned out to be career-defining. Mohra, released in 1994, was a major hit, and along with Gupt, cemented Rai's legacy as one of the most daring and successful directors of 1990s Bollywood.

Kelly Osbourne Mourns Dad Ozzy Osbourne's Death, Calls Him Her 'Best Friend'
Kelly Osbourne has broken her silence following the recent death of her dad, Ozzy Osbourne. Kelly Osbourne has lost her 'best friend" following the death of her dad Ozzy Osbourne. The 40-year-old star has taken to social media to share her thoughts following Ozzy's passing on Tuesday (22.07.25), aged 76. Kelly – who released a cover of the Black Sabbath song Changes with her dad back in 2003 – wrote on Instagram: 'I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had. (sic)" Ozzy performed his last-ever concert at Villa Park in Birmingham earlier this month, and Kelly actually got engaged backstage to Sid Wilson, from the band Slipknot, at the star-studded event. The Back to the Beginning concert also featured appearances from the likes of Metallica, Yungblud and Guns N' Roses. Ozzy's death was announced by his family earlier this week. They said in a statement: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love." The news prompted an outpouring of tributes from some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Ozzy's Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi. He told BBC Radio 4's Today: 'He loved what he did, he loved music, he loved playing together, and I'm so glad we had the opportunity of getting together again to do the [farewell] show. 'It was brilliant being with all the guys again, and the atmosphere, and it was brilliant for Ozzy because he really wanted to do that, he felt at home there and it was good for all of us." Kiss frontman Gene Simmons also paid a glowing tribute to the late star, describing Ozzy as a 'unique, loveable person". Gene, 75, told the BBC: 'I know that, right now, millions of fans around the world are crying and shocked, and my heart goes out to Sharon and the family and the fans. 'There were no airs about him – he's met kings queens, political leaders, I think it's fair to say there was never an Ozzy Osbourne before Ozzy, and there will be another Ozzy. He was a unique, loveable person." First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
