    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 20.09.2016 David Gray im Dezember für zwei exklusive Solo-Shows in Deutschland Ein Vierteljahrhundert nach seiner ersten Veröffentlichung, neun Jahre nach der „Greatest Hits“ – die mit Platin veredelt wurde –, bringt David Gray im Oktober sein „The Best Of“-Album heraus. Darauf versammelt der Brite die Highlights der letzten drei Alben „Draw The Line“, „Founding“ und „Mutineers“ sowie die Klassiker seiner drei Nummer-eins-Alben, darunter das Grammy-nominierte „White Ladder“, das sich sieben Millionen Mal verkauft hat. Aber Gray wäre nicht der innovative Musiker, wenn er sich nicht Gedanken darüber machen würde, welchen Sinn solche Platten heutzutage noch ergeben. Warum man eigentlich im Zeitalter von Streaming-Diensten, wenn der gesamte Back-Katalog online verfügbar ist, noch die größten Hits auf einem Tonträger versammeln soll. Nun da gibt es die Sammler, die Vinyl-Junkies, es gibt die Möglichkeit, neue exklusive Tracks zu veröffentlichen – in diesem Fall gleich zwei – oder alte Stücke in neuen Versionen aufzunehmen. All das macht David Gray, aber er geht noch ein Stück weiter: In Zusammenarbeit mit Spotify hat er eine innovative, dynamische Playlist entwickelt, die jede Woche neu erstellt wird und die meistgespielten Stücke in eine aktuelle Hitparade seiner Songs verpackt. Gray, der sich schon häufiger in seiner Karriere gewandelt hat, vom Punker zum Folker zum Singer/Songwriter zum Elektroniker zum großen Arrangeur, dessen vielfältiges Wirken so viele andere Musiker beeinflusst, erweist sich also wieder einmal als Innovator. Der Musiker, dessen Lyrics so poetisch sind, dass Joan Baez ihn zum bedeutendsten englischsprachigen Dichter seit Bob Dylan erkoren hat, ist aber vor allem live ein überragender Entertainer und Interpret.

  • Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love
    ACT LIKE A Lady, THINK LIKE A MAN Steve Harvey * WHAT MEN REALLY THINK A'BOUT LOVE, RELATIONSHIPS, INTIMACY, AND COMMITMENT I 've made a living for more than twenty years making people laugh about themselves, about each other, about family, and friends, and, most certainly, about love, sex, and relationships. My humor is always rooted in truth and full of wisdom the kind that comes from living, watching, learning, and knowing. I'm told my jokes strike chords with people be cause they can relate to them, especially the ones that explore the dynamics of relationships between men and women. It never ceases to amaze me how much people talk about relationships, think about them, read about them, ask about them even get in them without a clue how to move them forward. For sure, if there's anything I've discovered during my journey here on God's earth, it's this: (a) too many women are clueless about men, (b) men get away with a whole lot of stuff in relationships because women have never understood how men think, and (c) I've got some valuable information to change all of that. I discovered this when my career transitioned to radio with the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Back when my show was based in Los Angeles, I created a segment called Ask Steve, during which women could call in and ask anything they wanted to about relationships. Anything. At the very least, I thought Ask Steve would lead to some good comedy, and at .rst, that's pretty much what it was all about for me getting to the jokes.
