ABOUT J HUS J Hus’ breakthrough debut Common Sense received a colossal wave of critical acclaim upon release last Spring, cementing his status as one of the UK’s hottest and most inventive music stars today. Supported by break-through single “Did You See,” the album’s unique blend of Dancehall, Afrobeat, Grime, Rap, Garage and R&B has earned him a plethora of accolades, including a famed Mercury Prize nomination, three Brit Award nominations (including British Breakthrough Act) and an NME Award for Best Album. Most recently, his talents were recognized state-side with a 2018 BET Awards nomination for Best International Act. Common Sense was named one of the best albums of 2017 by publications such as The FADER, Noisey, The Guardian, NME and more with The New York Times exclaiming that “the most promising musical exchanges of the last couple of years have been among Africa, Europe and North America, and no album made that clearer than this one.” His talents have also been recognized by landing him on the cover of magazines such as British GQ Style, The FADER, Clash Magazine, and ASOS Magazine, among many others. This summer, J Hus will play various festivals around the world, including Parklife, Wireless, Fresh Island, Reading & Leeds, Outlook and more.

  • Laura Marling - Song for Our Daughter Episode 184
    Song Exploder Laura Marling - Song For Our Daughter Episode 184 Hrishikesh: You’re listening to Song Exploder, where musicians take apart their songs and piece by piece tell the story of how they were made. My name is Hrishikesh Hirway. (“Song for Our Daughter” by LAURA MARLING) Hrishikesh: Before we start, I want to mention that, in this episode, there’s some discussions of themes that might be difficult for some: sexual harassment and assault, as well as a mention of rape and suicide. Please use your best discretion. Laura Marling is a singer and songwriter from London. She won the Brit Award for Best British Female Solo Artist - she’s been nominated five times for that, along with the Mercury Prize, and the Grammy for Best Folk Album. Since 2008, she’s released seven albums. The most recent is called Song for Our Daughter. It’s also the name of the song that she takes apart in this episode. I spoke to Laura while she was in her home studio in London. (“Song for Our Daughter” by LAURA MARLING) Laura: My name is Laura Marling. (Music fades out) Laura: This is the longest I've ever taken to write a record. You know, I started very young. I put out my first album when I was 17, and I'm now 30. When I was young, in a really wonderful way, and I think everybody experiences this when they're young, you're kind of a functioning narcissist [laughter], in that you have this experience of the world, in which you are the central character.

  • Sport and Masculinity in Victorian Popular
    MARKED MEN: SPORT AND MASCULINITY IN VICTORIAN POPULAR CULTURE, 1866-1904 by Shannon Rose Smith A thesis submitted to the Department of English Language and Literature In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (July 2012) Copyright ©Shannon Rose Smith, 2012 Abstract In Marked Men: Sport and Masculinity in Victorian Popular Culture, 1866-1904 I examine the representation of the figure of the Victorian sportsman in different areas of nineteenth-century popular culture – newspapers, spectacular melodrama, and series detective fiction – and how these depictions register diverse incarnations of this figure, demonstrating a discomfort with, and anxiety about, the way in which the sporting experience after the Industrial Revolution influenced gender ideology, specifically that related to ideas of manliness. Far from simply celebrating the modern experience of sport as one that works to produce manly men, coverage in the Victorian press of sporting events such as the 1869 Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race, spectacular melodramas by Dion Boucicault, and series detective fiction by Arthur Conan Doyle and Arthur Morrison, all recognize that the relationship between men and modern sport is a complex, if fraught one; it produces men who are “marked” in a variety of ways by their sporting experience. This recognition is at the heart of our own understandings of this relationship in the twenty-first century. ii Acknowledgements I would like to express my lasting gratitude to Maggie Berg and Mary Louise Adams, under whose supervision I conducted the research for my study; both have had a marked impact on the kind of scholar I have become and both have taught me many lessons about the challenges and joys of scholarship.

    Mercury-Prize Nominated Sam Lee Announces Old Wow USA Launch Tour New Album—Produced by Suede’s Bernard Butler And Featuring Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser–Out Now Stream Here / Watch "Lay This Body Down" Here Fantastic…it almost hurts listening to this it's so perfect - NPR The London leg of the album launch tour, was packed…Sam Lee captures hearts, and the audience’s standing ovation at the end was as heartfelt as the performance. - THE ARTS DESK A captivating performer...constantly in movement when not singing, dancing to his own beat, a band leader as well as a song collector…The audience were in raptures from start to finish. - FOR FOLK'S SAKE Having left audiences buzzing at Folk Alliance International in New Orleans earlier this year and receiving raves for his just-completed UK tour, acclaimed singer Sam Lee has announced his Old Wow USA Launch Tour kicking off in March and visiting Northampton, Cambridge, New York and Philadelphia. Both audiences and journalists have been raving about his recent run of shows. The UK's XSNoize wrote: Despite the seriousness and urgency of this performance, there was also humour… Sam was undoubtedly supported by a fantastic band (which on many of the tracks included Bernard Butler); nonetheless, it was Lee, often dancing, taking the lead by explaining the meaning and message of the songs played, being a deft conductor, using his voice soothingly and often whistling in accompaniment to the songs (as he successfully whistles for the nightingales) made this performance unforgettable and for many a call to take action.

  • Reflections on the Mercury Music Prize in 2016, Simon Frith
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of East Anglia digital repository Popular Music Interview with Simon Frith – Reflections on the Mercury Music Prize In 2016, Simon Frith stepped down as chair of the Mercury Music Prize (MMP), a post he had held for the 25 years since the Prize was founded in 1992. During this time, the MMP – awarded to the British and Irish album of the year - became an established part of the UK music industry’s annual cycle, helping to shape musical taste and business practice. Its credibility as a prize also made it the one that musicians wanted to win. While he was chair, Simon Frith wrote Performing Rites (1996), a book that analysed, among other things, the value attributed to music and the processes by which that value is determined. The MMP could be seen as a practical example of the ideas and arguments of the book. The Editorial Group of Popular Music invited Simon Frith to reflect on his time as chair of the MMP and on the link between this role and his academic interests. The interview was conducted by John Street. The conversation began with a question about the interests behind the MMP over its 25-year history. Simon Frith: The Mercury Prize was a marketing initiative of the music industry, through the British Phonographic Industry (BPI); it was a way of selling records. The BPI understood that if such a prize was going to work, it had to be seen as independent of the industry itself.
