  • Bea-Miller-One-Sheet-5.6.15.Pdf
    In making her first full-length album, Bea Miller’s vision was clear. A singer/songwriter whose raspy vocals and sharp-edged pop have already earned her recognition as one of iTunes New Artist Spotlights for 2015, Rolling Stone’s “10 Artists You Need To Know”, as an MTV “Artist to Watch for 2015,” and as one of Billboard’s “10 Arists to Watch in 2015,” Bea’s main ambition was to create songs that spoke the sometimes-messy truth and helped others overcome their own hurt. “When I was younger, I never felt like I had a female artist who wasn’t afraid to speak her mind, someone I could relate to and look up to,” says Bea. “Now that I’m making my own music, I want to be there for people so they can feel less alone in whatever they’re going through.” Recorded over the last year—with time out for an autumn 2014 tour with Demi Lovato—Not An Apology finds Bea fulfilling her mission by infusing her punk spirit into impassioned pop songs with a fiercely uplifting power. Featuring several tracks co-written by Bea (including her debut single “Young Blood,” a darkly charged anthem that hit the Billboard Hot 100 soon after its April 2014 release), Not An Apology mines her everyday experience for unapologetically honest lyrics about everything from bullying and backstabbers to isolation and breakup angst. “When you’re writing you have to get down to your deepest, darkest emotions, because that’s what makes a great song,” says Bea. “You need to be totally real and just put it all out there.” To capture the tension between toughness and vulnerability that propels much of Not An Apology, Bea teamed up with producers like busbee (P!nk, Kelly Clarkson), Jarrad Rogers (Icona Pop, Demi Lovato), Mike Del Rio (Kylie Minogue, Selena Gomez), and Matt Squire (Ariana Grande, Ke$ha) to craft a melody-fueled mix of gritty guitar riffs, fuzzed-out grooves, and awesomely heady beats.

  • Ranking Selena Gomez Songs: Worst to Best
    Ranking Selena Gomez Songs: Worst to Best Selena Gomez is one of the biggest pop stars of this day and age. I personally have been a big fan of hers for years now, and while I don’t love every single song she’s released I still like the majority of them. For this ranking I decided to only do songs after she stopped singing with her band The Scene and I have also not added in “We Don’t Talk Anymore” with Charlie Puth. I had a lot of fun putting this list together and figuring out where her Songs ranked for me. Read on for more! “Birthday” A bit repetitive and kind of annoying. Sorry, Selena. “B.E.A.T” I’m not a big fan of the music, the lyrics, or really the way Selena sings this song. Still, the lyrics are alright, I guess. “Music Feels Better” A pretty good song, but a bit repetitive. “Body Heat” The lyrics are alright, but I think the beat of this song really pulls it together. “Like A Champion” Eh. The lyrics are alright, but Selena’s voice sounds beautiful singing it so that’s a plus. “Revival” The talking at the beginning is a bit strange, but the song is still good nonetheless. It has a good beat and the lyrics are really good as well. “Me And My Girls” This song is a bit edgy and it talks about girl power which I’m always down for. “Save The Day” Pretty catchy. “Write Your Name” This song about “writing your name” and being a permanent part of someone’s life is catchy.

  • Blackbear Til Oslo!
    23-04-2019 10:03 CEST BLACKBEAR TIL OSLO! Den R&B/rap-orienterte singer/songwriteren Blackbear slipper straks albumet «Anonymous», og 28. september kommer han til Norge for første gang! Billetter i salg fredag 26. april kl. 11.00. Kr. 320,- + bill.avg. 18 år leg. Fri alder på galleriet. Matthew Musto, kjent som Blackbear, har vært en særs produktiv fyr de siste årene. Han ga ut albumene «Deadroses» og «Help» i 2015, og fulgte opp med «Digital Druglord» og «Cybersex» i 2017. «Digital Druglord» inneholdt låta «Do Re Mi», hvor både originalen, og remixen featuring Gucci Mane, ble store hits, og var den første av hans egne låter som havnet på Billboard Hot 100. Som om ikke det var nok, slapp han også et selvtitulert album med hiphop- duoen Mansionz i 2017. I tillegg til sine egne prosjekter har han jobbet med en rekke store artister, som Pharrell Williams, Nick Jonas, Childish Gambino, Linkin Park og ikke minst Justin Bieber, som han skrev superhiten «Boyfriend» for sammen med med sin Mansionz-kumpan Mike Posner. Blackbear slipper femtealbumet «Anonymous» 26. april – og til høsten blir det konsert på Sentrum Scene! – There were hints in my earlier albums of who I really was, but I had a wall up. The wall’s been torn down for Anonymous . I’m calling it that because I want to take the ego out of the process. I wanted to make a human album, by a real person, not hide behind the character of this sad «Blackbear» guy, sier han selv om sitt kommende album.

  • Trap Spaces, Trap Music: Harriet Jacobs, Fetty Wap, and Emancipation As Entrapment
    Trap Spaces, Trap Music: Harriet Jacobs, Fetty Wap, and Emancipation as Entrapment SEAN M. KENNEDY Set in a New York City trap house—an apartment that serves as the hub for an outlaw drug business—Fetty Wap’s 2014 song and video “Trap Queen” depicts the stacks of U.S. currency and the manufacture of product that are core aspects of the genre of trap music. But the song and video also portray an outlier to this strategic essentialism: namely, the loving romance at its center which challenges the mainstream common sense of the misogyny of rap. Likewise, the sonics of “Trap Queen”—upbeat, even joyful—contrast with the aural hardness of much of the genre. In these ways, “Trap Queen” is an important pop-cultural political intervention against both the enduring pathologizing of Black life and the sense of siege with which many Black people, especially poor ones, are perceived to live.1 But while Fetty Wap’s persona in “Trap Queen” can be understood as a homo- economicus figure (Wynter 123) of the informal economy—a breadwinner who can self-determine his own life, albeit within the narrow bounds of criminalized enterprise—that burdened self-possession is doubled for his female partner presented as a woman who will happily do anything for her “man,” from cooking crack to giving him a lap dance (see Figure 1). These labors are shown to be uncoerced. Nevertheless, the larger structures of the racial-capitalist formal economy essentially force many Black women into such gendered survival labor. Indeed, the situation of these women, which Fetty Wap’s “trap queen” only partially evokes, illustrates the thinness of freedom under liberal democracy of which emancipation from slavery is considered paradigmatic.

  • Favorite Artists in Today's Music Wrld
    May 15, 2020 Created by (doja cat & lil uzi vert) (bruno mars & eminem) (taylor swift & rihanna) Dadaism On each of our pages, you will find a “guess the song” section. This was inspired by the Cut-Up technique, an aleatory literary technique where a written text is cut up word-by-word and then completely rearranged, resulting in a new text. This technique can be traced back to the Dadaists in the 1920s, a group of avant-garde artists located primarily in Europe. Since then, the Cut-Up technique has been used in a variety of other contexts. On our pages, we have taken a popular song from each artist, then used the Dadaist cut-up technique to scramble the lyrics and create a new text. We chose to do this to pay homage to and remind us of the avant-garde artists and the history of avant-garde zines. So, if you would like, take a shot at guessing the songs. The answers are found on the final page. We hope you enjoy our little game and, in the process, are reminded of how all zines began.
