  • Neneh Cherry Får 2016 Års Ganneviksstipendium Inom Musik
    2016-05-02 19:47 CEST Neneh Cherry får 2016 års Ganneviksstipendium inom musik Neneh Cherry får 500 000 kronor från Per Ganneviksstiftelsen för sina insatser inom konsten. Stipendiet delades ut under en ceremoni på Kulturhuset Stadsteatern i Stockholm på måndagskvällen. Det är fjärde året som Per Ganneviks stiftelse för kulturella ändamål delar ut fem stipendier som enligt donatorns vilja ska stödja konstnärskap som kan förväntas få stor betydelse för kulturarvet. Motivering Neneh Cherry är en levande ikon som alltid legat i konstnärlig framkant. Hon har konstant fortsatt att utvecklas musikaliskt och utforska olika uttryck på ett unikt sätt. Hon är en av Sveriges största artister i modern tid, med ett inflytande på samtida popkultur som saknar motsvarighet. Per Ganneviks stiftelse för kulturella ändamål 2012 donerade finansmannen och konstälskaren Per Gannevik cirka 60 miljoner kronor till Konstnärsnämnden. I enlighet med testamentvillkoren bildades då Per Ganneviks stiftelse för kulturella ändamål. Stiftelsens ändamål är att stödja nu verksamma konstnärer som kan förväntas ha betydelse för kulturarvet. Stipendiaterna kommer att sökas inom de fem konstområden som Konstnärsnämnden vanligtvis stödjer – bild och form, musik, teater, dans och film. Stiftelsens styrelse är i enlighet med stadgarna densamma som Konstnärsnämndens styrelse. Om Neneh Cherry Neneh Cherry är född 1964 i Stockholm. Hon växte upp i Skåne, men hoppade av skolan i Hässleholm och flyttade som fjortonåring till London för att ägna sig åt musik. Hon har under perioder bott i flera andra länder sedan dess, men den brittiska huvudstaden är hennes nuvarande bostadsort. Neneh Cherry kom till den engelska musikscenen i slutet av punkeran och var med i flera olika band.

  • Musician Neneh Cherry on Addressing Politics in Your Art
    October 29, 2018 - As told to T. Cole Rachel, 2891 words. Tags: Music, Politics, Process, Collaboration. On addressing politics in your art Musician Neneh Cherry on what makes a good a collaborator, the headspace required for making thoughtful art, and why sometimes being quiet is a radical act. What’s the kind of headspace you need to be in when you’re working on music? It’s somewhat different every time, but recently I had a place that I wanted to go in my spirit and soul, through the songs and with the songs. I knew it was going to need me to be in a more… not a static place, exactly, but a more still place. It was almost like I could feel the songs around my head. Of course, the collaborative journey played an important part in actually reaching the goal. In the case of Broken Politics, I think we reached the goal I had in mind. I work with Cameron McVey, who is my husband and my creative partner, beyond just the spousal stuff. We’ve also had a very intimate creative journey. Quite often we’re working with other programmers and musicians when we’re writing, so there are all of these different things to figure out and negotiate. He’s a really fast writer. I’m a much slower writer. A lot of the time we’re in the studio by ourselves, each working at our own pace. Sometimes, even when you have an idea of where you want to go, it’s still a struggle getting there and getting past all the little weird obstacle courses that your brain sets up for you in order to get to that place where you’re creatively open.

Once the effects of the new wave were fully absorbed, it became apparent that the world of singer-songwriters would never be the same again. A conceptual mood had taken over the scene, and that mood's predecessors were precisely the Bob Dylans, the Neil Youngs, the Leonard Cohens, the Tim Buckleys, the Joni Mitchells, who had not been the most popular stars of the 1970s. Instead, they became the reference point for a new generation of "auteurs". Women, in particular, regained the status of philosophical beings (and not only disco-divas or cute front singers) that they had enjoyed with the works of Carole King and Joni Mitchell. Suzy Gottlieb, better known as Phranc (1), was the (Los Angeles-based) songwriter who started the whole acoustic folk revival with her aptly-titled Folksinger (? 1984/? 1985 - nov 1985), whose protest themes and openly homosexual confessions earned her the nickname of "all-american jewish-lesbian folksinger". She embodied the historic meaning of that movement because she was a punkette (notably in Nervous Gender) before she became a folksinger, and because she continued to identify, more than anyone else, with her post- feminist and AIDS-stricken generation in elegies such as Take Off Your Swastika (1989) and Outta Here (1991).

  • James Holden's New Live Touring Incarnation (In Support of Holden's 2013 Album 'The Inheritors')
    RocketNumberNine biography In the two years that have elapsed since the 2013 release of their second RocketNumberNine album 'MeYouWeYou', London-born brothers Ben and Tom Page have found themselves much in demand, to the point where their original RocketNumberNine pet project has had to take something of a back seat. A hook up with Smalltown Supersound labelmate and Swedish singing superheroine Neneh Cherry saw the Page siblings drafted in to provide the synth and drum complement to her Kieran Hebden-produced 'Blank Project' album in early 2014, leading on to RocketNumberNine's permanent installation as her backing band on the subsequent Neneh Cherry tour. And not content with one round the world trip, younger brother Tom has somehow also found the time to moonlight as drummer for modular synth maestro James Holden's new live touring incarnation (in support of Holden's 2013 album 'The Inheritors'). But now, as one set of touring cycles near their natural end, and with a crisp new RocketNumberNine 12” poised to emerge on Holden's Border Community label in the Autumn of 2015, the time has come for the brothers to refocus their attention on the symbiotic RocketNumberNine improvisational partnership where it all began. Growing up together in Chingford in the North Eastern outskirts of London, nestled just inside the M25, it was eight years ago that brothers Ben and Tom Page first formalised their musical union as synth-and- drum improv duo RocketNumberNine. But their dedication to one another runs way deeper than most siblings, having also lived together for most of their adult lives, including a spell together in a musical commune near Aberdeen in the North East of Scotland.

  • Music Videos, Performance and Resistance: Feminist Rappers
    Music Videos, Performance and Resistance: Feminist Rappers Robin Roberts Popular culture provides us with particularly compelling examples of the tension between dominance and resistance and one of the most engaging sites of such tensions is the feminist rap music video. Feminist rap music videos require the viewer to participate in their construction and analysis.^ This music explores tensions between black and white, male and female, in a direct and explicit fashion. Feminist rap videos are not the only feminist music videos—there are feminist videos of almost every type of music—but feminist rap performers have received less media attention than rock and roll artists like Tina Turner or Janet Jackson. There are reasons for this: unlike Turner and Jackson, feminist rap artists make little accommodation for white audiences and consequently, rap receives less airplay on Music Television, the premier music video station. This is true of all rap artists, masculinist and feminist alike. Yet for the feminist rapper, rap offers unique possibilities. What Barbara Christian suggests about blues singers applies here to the more optimistic musical form, rap: "Perhaps because the blues was seen as 'race music' and catered to a black audience, black women were better able to articulate themselves as individuals and as part of a racial group in that art form" (122). Rap, or hip hop as "the culture of clothes, slang, dances, and philosophies that sprang up in the '80s" (George 40) is sometimes called, can be seen daily on a special MTV program "Yo MTV Raps" and on "Rap City" an hour-long show on BET.
