We saw the record started picking up across all the underground Afrobeats scenes so we decided to create another remix with WizKid so it could cross over to the mainstream market while still keeping the DNA of the track. ‘Drogba (Joanna)’ then took off in the US, where we implemented a US radio campaign very quickly which helped cementing the song in the American market. We also wanted to make the record more recognisable amongst the US market, so we remixed the track again with French Montana, which pushed the record further.

  • Modern Dance Choreography: Beyond the Movement an Analysis Between Lyrics and Movement
    ARECLS, VOL. 16, 2019, P.65-107 Modern Dance Choreography: Beyond the Movement an Analysis between Lyrics and Movement Can identities be developed through modern dance choreography? Hayley Elizabeth Powell NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY Abstract The following study aims to discover how narrative identities are created through modern dance choreography. In order to properly analyse this notion several methodologies are used as a means to do so. Inclusion of discourse and multimodal discourse analysis are supplemented by Laban movement analysis. Data includes a collection of modern dance videos accompanied by the song lyrics personally chosen by the researcher. The dance collection is limited to modern dance as modern dance allows for an opportunity to gain a creative insight into the abstract movements found within. In order to identify just how narratives are created sub-questions addressing audience perception of the lyrics and dance as well as the contributing factors found within costuming, location and scenery are addressed. Once all data was analysed a comparison was done to note where and when themes were seen in contributing to a narrative identity. Keywords: Modern Dance, Laban Movement Analysis, Narrative Identity, Discourse, Choreography INTRODUCTION Recognized as a universal form of communication, dance brings to life more than the spoken “word.” Within dance, most prominently, nonverbal communication serves as the element for conversing with the audience and fellow dancers. Igniting countless emotions through movement, the opportunity for narrative construction through observation and action occur. “Dance is culturally sequence patterns of human movement created and expressed for an aesthetic and/or instrumental purpose” (Pines and Giles, 2017, pg 1).

  • Indie Mixtape
    Indie Mixtape :: View email as a web page :: Arcade Fire apparently is in the midst of working on a new album, with writing having “intensified” during the pandemic. In spite of ourselves, we are interested in hearing this quarantine opus, even though we openly disliked their previous album, 2017’s Everything Now. Arcade Fire is also on our brains lately because the 10th anniversary of their third ( and we would argue greatest) album, The Suburbs, was this past weekend. That album, like all Arcade Fire LPs, is a mix of breathtaking musical moments and grandiose, eyeroll-inducing thematic gestures. And yet we wouldn’t want Arcade Fire to be any other way. Sometimes they miss in embarrassing fashion, and other times they absolutely crush it. But they always swing big. For this list of our 20 favorite Arcade Fire songs, we took stock of the crushes while also attempting to understand how and why they miss. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" and the Beginning of the 21st Century PS: Was this email forwarded to you?

  • Mídia, Texto Cultural E Objeto De Memória Rock Album Cover
    Capa de disco de rock: mídia, texto cultural e objeto de memória Rock album cover: media, cultural text and object of memory Portada del disco de rock: medio de comunicación, texto cultural y objeto de memoria 636 Herom Vargas70 Resumo Neste artigo, pretendo refletir sobre três aspectos que caracterizam as capas de disco, em especial as do rock britânico e brasileiro entre final dos anos 1960 e início dos 1970: como mídia – em suas imagens e representações e na própria materialidade de objeto; como texto cultural – que articula dimensões semióticas em vários níveis; e como objeto de memória – por traduzir elementos do passado para o presente e seus respectivos processos comunicacionais. Por meio de tais aspectos, busco compreender essa embalagem, cuja função básica é a mediação entre artista, sua música, a gravadora e o ouvinte, sempre atravessado pelas marcas do consumo. Como bases teóricas, serão usadas a semiótica da cultura, a teoria das materialidades na comunicação e os estudos de memória. Palavras-chave capa de disco; rock; mídia; texto cultural; objeto de memória Abstract 7070 Universidade Metodista de São Paulo – UMESP, Brasil [email protected] In this article, I intend to reflect on three aspects that characterize album covers, especially those of British and Brazilian rock between the late 1960s and early 1970s: as media – in their images and representations and in the materiality of the object itself; as a cultural text – which articulates semiotic dimensions at various levels; and as object of memory – by translating elements from the past into the present and their respective communicational processes. Through such aspects, I 637 seek to understand this packaging, whose basic function is the mediation between artist, his music, the label and the listener, always crossed by the brands of consumption.

  • INTRODUCTION: BLUE NOTES TOWARD a NEW JAZZ DISCOURSE I. Authority and Authenticity in Jazz Historiography Most Books and Article
    INTRODUCTION: BLUE NOTES TOWARD A NEW JAZZ DISCOURSE MARK OSTEEN, LOYOLA COLLEGE I. Authority and Authenticity in Jazz Historiography Most books and articles with "jazz" in the title are not simply about music. Instead, their authors generally use jazz music to investigate or promulgate ideas about politics or race (e.g., that jazz exemplifies democratic or American values,* or that jazz epitomizes the history of twentieth-century African Americans); to illustrate a philosophy of art (either a Modernist one or a Romantic one); or to celebrate the music as an expression of broader human traits such as conversa- tion, flexibility, and hybridity (here "improvisation" is generally the touchstone). These explorations of the broader cultural meanings of jazz constitute what is being touted as the New Jazz Studies. This proliferation of the meanings of "jazz" is not a bad thing, and in any case it is probably inevitable, for jazz has been employed as an emblem of every- thing but mere music almost since its inception. As Lawrence Levine demon- strates, in its formative years jazz—with its vitality, its sexual charge, its use of new technologies of reproduction, its sheer noisiness—was for many Americans a symbol of modernity itself (433). It was scandalous, lowdown, classless, obscene, but it was also joyous, irrepressible, and unpretentious. The music was a battlefield on which the forces seeking to preserve European high culture met the upstarts of popular culture who celebrated innovation, speed, and novelty. It 'Crouch writes: "the demands on and respect for the individual in the jazz band put democracy into aesthetic action" (161).

De to briter har en række hits bag sig, og debutalbummet Body Music er lige på trapperne. Den 5. november spiller de i VEGA – deres første koncert i landet. De er blevet rost til skyerne i både blogs og store medier som BBC og hitter med “Your Drums, Your Love” og “Attracting Flies”. Den unge duo AlunaGeorge er på alles læber for tiden, og nu kan de for første gang opleves live i Danmark, når de betræder scenen i Lille VEGA den 5. november med debuten Body Music i bagagen. Aluna møder George og sød electropop opstår AlunaGeorge består af Aluna Francis og George Reid, der mødte hinanden for fire år siden i deres fælles hjemby, London. Aluna er sangerinden og skriver bandets melodier og tekster, mens produceren George styrer elektronikken og arrangerer numrene, så de kommer til at lyde som helheden AlunaGeorge. Duoens numre har en dyb basbund, samples og knitrende beats, men med R&B-pop på toppen, leveret med britisk accent af Aluna. Sammen får Aluna og George den elektroniske popmusik til at lyde frisk og tiltrækkende, som på en af deres tidlige singler “You Know You Like It”. Udvalgt af BBC Deres debutalbum Body Music udkommer den 29. juli og er en af de mest ventede debuter i år, ikke mindst i hjemlandet, hvor der især er blevet sat fokus på AlunaGeorge af BBC og Brit Awards.
