All Hearts
The All Hearts Tour was a joint concert tour by American R&B singer Kelis and Swedish pop singer Robyn in support of their albums ''Flesh Tone'' and ''Body Talk Pt. 1'', respectively.

The tour was supported by Dan Black, Natalia Kills and Far East Movement. Background On May 20, 2010, Kelis and Robyn were tweeting each other on Twitter, with Kelis asking Robyn if she would want to "hit the road together." Eventually, the tweets led to naming their joint tour All Hearts. In an interview with ''The Huffington Post'', Kelis explained the tour's name, saying, "'All Heart' is like when you say someone has a lot of heart it's brave... there's a strength and love in it, but you got guts. You're not afraid to say who you are, what you believe, and to feel comfortable in your own skin." While speaking of Robyn, she said, "Honestly, I love her album and I ...

Interscope Records
Interscope Records is an American record label owned by Universal Music Group through its Interscope Geffen A&M imprint. Founded in late 1990 by Jimmy Iovine and Ted Field as a $20 million joint venture with Atlantic Records of Warner Music Group and Interscope Communications, it differed from most record companies by letting A&R staff control decisions and allowing artists and producers full creative control. Its first hit records arrived in under a year, and it achieved profitability in 1993. Chair and CEO until May 2014, Iovine was succeeded by John Janick. In 1992, Interscope acquired the exclusive rights to market and distribute releases from the hardcore hip hop label Death Row, whose artists included Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, a decision that ultimately put the label at the center of the mid-1990s gangsta rap controversy. As a result, Time Warner, owning Atlantic, severed ties with Interscope by selling its 50 percent stake back to Field and Iovine for $115  ...
