Gunna, Camila Cabello and Lizzo Will Perform on ‘SNL’ in April
The names of the hosts and performers for the first three episodes of Saturday Night Live in April have been revealed. On 2nd April , musical guest Gunna will join host Jerrod Carmichael, and the following weekend, on 9th April , Camila Cabello will sing while Jake Gyllenhaal hosts. On 16th April, Lizzo will host and perform at the same time, doubling as the episode’s host and musical guest.
Lizzo confirmed a new album was coming “very, very soon”, saying she was headed home after the SXSW event to work on mastering the record. “It’s good. I worked real hard on it, so it better be good,” she said.
Last month, during an interview with Variety, Lizzo called the album “one of the most musically badass, daring and sophisticated bodies of work I’ve done to date” and said she was “shocked” that it’s a “love album”.
Cabello, meantime, is planning an “immersive” TikTok concert to celebrate the release of her new album “Familia.”
The singer-songwriter’s third album will be released on April 8, a day before she performs on Saturday Night Live. On April 7, the concert would feature “the first-ever live performances” of music from “Familia.”
Gunna released ‘P Power,’ his highly-anticipated duet with Drake, earlier this year. The Young Thug-signed rapper announced the tracklist for his third album, ‘DS4Ever,’ ahead of its January 7 release, which included a Drake-featured song called ‘Pussy Power.’
When the album arrived, though, the track was noticeably missing. On January 14, Gunna announced the release of the collaboration on Instagram, saying: “Sorry 4 the wait.”
Following her performance as Catwoman/Selina Kyle in The Batman, Zoe Kravitz made her SNL debut lately. She crossed paths with a number of previous ‘cat women,’ performed by Kate McKinnon, Ego Nwodim, and Aidy Bryant, in a sketch from the episode that went viral.
In another part of the episode, Rosalía sang ‘Chicken Teriyaki’ and ‘La Fama,’ from her new album ‘Motomami,’ which she collaboarted with The Weeknd. Rosalía was a musical guest on Saturday Night Live for the first time, however she had previously appeared on the show. She performed ‘La Noche de Anoche’ with Bad Bunny last year.
