  • Mikky Ekko Has Come Home. He Recorded His 2015 Debut Album
    Mikky Ekko has come home. He recorded his 2015 debut album, Time, in places as far-flung as London, Stockholm, and Los Angeles, plus any point on the compass where inspiration struck while he was on tour with Justin Timberlake, One Republic and Jessie Ware. But he wanted to record Fame, his next album, in the city that had proved both a permanent address and an inspiration for him since moving there in 2005 to attend college. It’s said that people have lucky cities, a geographic location where they seem to flourish or feel that they are their best selves. Although born in Shreveport, Louisiana, with its rich history of country rock and electric blues, Ekko found such a place in Nashville. It allowed him the freedom to be who he wanted to be — starting with those early gigs he played at 12th and Porter with slashes of red painted across his chiseled face. It informed the haunting music of his largely a cappella 2009 dreamscape Strange Fruit, a five-song EP he recorded while still a student at nearby Middle Tennessee State University that had far more in common with Brian Eno than it did Billie Holiday. A restless creator — sometimes writing two songs a day, starting most days at 4:45 am — Ekko quickly followed up Strange Fruit with two companion EPs the next year: Reds and Blues. One of the songs on Reds, "Who Are You, Really,” made its way to underground beatsmith Clams Casino, known mainly for his work with ASAP Rocky, Lil B and The Weeknd.

  • Mayor's Report March 2018
    20th Mayor’s Report to the Assembly Mayor’s Question Time – 22nd March 2018 This is my twentieth Mayor’s Report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period from 9th February – 8th March 2018. Executive summary £24 million for local communities to play a role in regeneration On 7 March I awarded £24 million of funding to projects from across the capital that will enable local people to take an active role in the regeneration of their communities. More than 200 bids for funding were made to my Good Growth Fund, delivered through the London Economic Action Partnership (LEAP), and 27 are now being taken forward, with several organisations receiving funding in the next few months. All of the successful projects will deliver social and economic improvements including investment in community assets, workspaces, green infrastructure and cultural venues. I am using this funding to challenge preconceptions about how regeneration takes place. I want to give all Londoners – regardless of background – the opportunity to be actively involved in their city and have more places to live, learn, work and play. The projects I announced funding for today will help us to tackle inequality, strengthen civil society, and ensure the benefits of regeneration are felt by all. Tackling the ‘injustice’ of pay inequality On 2 March, I stepped up the fight against pay inequality in the capital by publishing for the first time ever comprehensive data on the pay gap affecting Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) employees for all organisations in the Greater London Authority (GLA) Group, making it among the first employers in the country to do so.

  • Pop 2 a Second Packet for Popheads Written by Kevin Kodama Tossups 1
    Pop 2 a second packet for popheads written by Kevin Kodama Tossups 1. Palmistry discussed this project with the artist on the radio show The Candy Shop. A song from this ​ ​ project that goes “blue summers sitting high in the window” repeats the same word 96 times. Another song from this project kicks off with the words “I’m so bored” and describes the artist’s lazy routine. A <1> single from this album features ​ synthesizers that sound like crashing waves alongside lyrics like “I ​ know in the future / We won’t see each other”. This album’s lead single is a glitch-pop ballad called <2> “forever”, and its cover art shows the artist lying on a bed holding a camera. ​ For ten points, name this ​ quarantine concept album that was created in six weeks by Charli XCX. ANSWER: how i’m feeling now ​ 2. This song’s (A-A-F) (A-A-E) (A-A-D) [read separately] bass line is briefly played by a sawtooth wave synthesizer right before its second chorus. The music video for this song is based on a Venn diagram in which four concepts intersect to form an orgasm, and it shows the singer ripping out an animated heart <1> .​ A Persian flute sample opens this track, and its singer references “the simulation we’re dreaming in”. This track repeatedly shouts “Come on!” and asks “who needs to go to sleep when I’ve got you next to <2> me?”. ​ For ten points, name this second single from Dua Lipa’s sophomore album Future Nostalgia.

  • And Leo Taylor (Drums)
    BIOGRAPHY 2016 The Invisible are comprised of Dave Okumu (singer / guitarist), Tom Herbert (bass / synthesiser) and Leo Taylor (drums). Their third album 'Patience' was released in June 2016 and features collaborations with Jessie Ware, Anna Calvi, Rosie Lowe, Connan Mockasin and Sam Shepherd (Floating Points). ‘Patience’ has received overwhelmingly positive album reviews across the board including a lead 5/5 review in The Guardian, 4 star reviews in The Observer and Q magazine, Sunday Times ‘album of the week’, Mixmag ‘album of the month’ and Metro ’the big release. Their eponymous debut, was nominated for the 2009 Mercury Music Prize was also critics’ choice as iTunes album of the year. It won peer level praise from the likes of Radiohead's Ed O'Brien, Foals, Hot Chip, Wild Beasts, Anna Calvi and Everything Everything. Their second album, 'Rispah', was, in the words of Okumu, “a love letter to grief.” Mid- way through recording a follow-up to their debut, Okumu’s mother passed away and the band’s plans and aesthetic were thrown into turmoil. As Okumu remembers it, “I couldn't engage with music for a long period”. The reception of the album was further complicated when Okumu was electrocuted while playing onstage in Lagos, Nigeria, which set back promotional and live activities while he recovered - it’s possible that his life was only saved because Tom removed the guitar from his hands. It’s certain that it was a hugely dangerous incident which he was lucky to survive. The album was, though, rapturously received, this “remarkable” record (The Times) being described as “an astonishing redemptive arc brighter than any rainbow” (Mojo) and “incredibly uplifting and moving” (Vice), amongst many other superlatives.

  • Billboard Change Agents: Leaders Stepping up in a Year of Turmoil
    Billboard Change Agents: Leaders Stepping Up In A Year of Turmoil billboard.com/articles/business/9517071/billboard-change-agents-list-2021 By Billboard Staff 1/28/2021 © 2021 Billboard Media, LLC. All rights reserved. BILLBOARD is a registered trademark of Billboard IP Holdings, LLC Over the past year, the music industry began an extraordinary transformation. Heavy-hitting task forces were assembled to tackle racial inequality amid a wave of national protests against police brutality, while music’s biggest companies committed hundreds of millions of dollars to the cause. Artists and their managers, agents and promoters — many of whom saw their income plummet in the pandemic — were forced to reinvent their businesses as they sought relief from organizations fighting to help the live industry survive. Through it all, music professionals marched in the streets, encouraged people to vote in a historic election, brainstormed solutions on virtual panels and mourned the loss of family, friends and music legends to COVID-19. In other words, it didn’t feel much like a year for congratulating music’s most powerful people on how powerful they still are. So instead of compiling the Power List that Billboard has published annually since 2012, we decided instead to honor some of the individuals changing the business — both by advocacy and by example — in our first Change Agents issue. 1/39 This is by no means meant to be a comprehensive list of music executives fighting for justice or changing the game. It does not, for example, include the heads of the major music groups, even though Universal Music Group chairman/CEO Lucian Grainge announced an initial $25 million “Change Fund,” convened a social justice task force and promised more action to follow, while Sony Music Group chairman Rob Stringer drove the creation of a $100 million Sony fund to fight racism around the world and Warner Music Group CEO Steve Cooper pledged to steer a $100 million donation from owner Len Blavatnik to music industry charities and social justice as well.
