“Freak Like Me,” from Forthcoming Album, Superstar February 11, 2020 For Immediate Release Caroline Rose Presents New Single, “Freak Like Me,” From Forthcoming ​ ​ Album, Superstar, Out March 6th on New West Records ​ ​ Expands North American Tour Photo Credit: Cara Robbins Caroline Rose presents a new single, “Freak Like Me,” from her forthcoming album, ​ ​ ​ Superstar, due March 6th on New West Records. In conjunction, she announces the west ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ coast run of her North American tour. “Freak Like Me” follows lead single/video “Feel The ​ ​ ​ ​ Way I Want,” in which Rose “walks a fine, funny line between embodying and parodying ​ Kanye-size arrogance” (Rolling Stone). ​ ​ As described by Rose, “‘Freak Like Me’ is a S&M-themed love song about falling in love with your ​ dominatrix. The song’s melody is very floral and beautiful. I imagine it as some sort of delicate dress dancing around 17th century Versailles. I wanted to juxtapose this daintiness with grotesque lyrics. I’ve always wanted to write a pretty song with the word ‘vomit’ in it. Paradoxes ​ ​ are fun.” “I had been wanting to sample Aaron Embry’s ‘Raven Song’ in a beat for the longest time. Then I had this kind of ‘ah ha!’ moment while working on the song on tour. I chopped up the sample, pitched it and it just fit perfectly. It really took the song to another level and completed the paradox.” ​ Listen to Caroline Rose’s “Freak Like Me” https://youtu.be/QfV4-v7l5dA The follow up to 2018’s acclaimed LONER, Superstar is a bigger, badder, glitter-filled ​ ​ ​ ​ cinematic pop record. It’s a semi-autobiographical story of a shamelessly odd hero, or rather ​ anti-hero, on a quest to become a someone. One part satire, one part self-reflection, Rose’s ​ ​ anti-hero personifies much of what we as casual on-lookers are wont to poke fun at, dismiss or denigrate, yet deep down likely aspire to be. Someone who, whether warranted or not, refuses to let anyone dictate their own life’s narrative. Rose will embark on a lengthy North American tour this spring in support of Superstar.

  • Textual Spectacle: the Transmedial Storyworld of Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto
    The Concept Album as Visual-Sonic- Textual Spectacle: The Transmedial Storyworld of Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto Lori Burns University of Ottawa [email protected] Abstract This paper studies the elaboration of the concept album by means of multimodal promotional strategies that include the concert tour, music videos, books, as well as other digital and print materials. Adopting the perspective that the meaning of a concept album emerges in and through a potentially complex network of materials, we can receive and understand concept album storytelling to operate according to multimedial, intermedial and transmedial contexts. This study examines the transmedial storyworld of Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto concept spectacle as it is developed in and through the material content of the original album, the Coldplay: Live 2012 (Coldplay 2012c) concert film, as well as the paraphonographic materials that extend Mylo Xyloto into a variety of media. KEYWORDS: Concept album, spectacle, multimodality, intermediality, transmediality Introduction In the context of the new millennial industry of popular music, artists from a variety of genres rely heavily upon current technologies and social media platforms to develop elaborate promotional strategies, thus expanding the idea of the concept album to the concert tour, music videos, books, and a range of supplementary materials. With such an approach, the concept album can be seen to extend across multiple media formats in supplementary materials and live IASPM@Journal vol.6 no.2 (2016) Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music ISSN 2079-3871 | DOI 10.5429/2079-3871(2016)v6i2.6en | www.iaspmjournal.net 92 Lori Burns performances.
