Chai Release New Single/Video, “Maybe February 24, 2021 For Immediate Release CHAI RELEASE NEW SINGLE/VIDEO, “MAYBE CHOCOLATE CHIPS” (FEAT. RIC WILSON) NEW ALBUM, WINK, OUT MAY 21ST ON SUB POP ​ ​ CHAI by Yoshio Nakaiso, Ric Wilson by Jackie Lee Young Japanese quartet CHAI present a new single/video, “Maybe Chocolate Chips” (Feat. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Ric Wilson), from their forthcoming album, WINK, due May 21st on Sub Pop. CHAI’s ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ past albums have been filled with playful references, in the lyrics, to food, and WINK’s ​ ​ intimate single “Maybe Chocolate Chips” offers an evolution of this motif. Bassist/lyricist YUUKI wanted to write a self-love song about her moles: “Things that ​ ​ we want to hold on to, things that we wished went away. A lot of things happen as we age and with that for me, is new moles! But I love them! My moles are like the chocolate chips on a cookie, the more you have, the happier you become! and before you know it, you're an original♡” Chicago rapper Ric Wilson, who they initially connected with at the 2019 Pitchfork Music Festival, brings smooth vocals over a laidback beat and whirring, dreamy synth. A community activist and artist based on the Southside of Chicago, he got his start with the legendary Young Chicago Authors, the Chicago-based storytelling and poetry organization which helped launch the likes of Noname, Saba, Jamila Woods, Chance The Rapper, Vic Mensa, Mick Jenkins, and many others. He’s also featured in the accompanying video, directed by Callum Scott-Dyson, which is made of fun ​ ​ collages and video clips in classic CHAI style. CHAI elaborates: “This music video is the perfect visual for ‘Maybe Chocolate Chips.’ It was our first time working with Callum and the result (animation, etc.) was something we'd never tried before! Callum actually reached out to us for this but we loved how his work featured grotesque but cute components and tons of fantasy so our vision for this was in line. ♡⭐ ^o^♡ Your mole is actually a Chocolate Chip! But you knew that already right?!♡⭐ ♡” WATCH CHAI’S VIDEO FOR “MAYBE CHOCOLATE CHIPS” (FEAT. RIC WILSON) CHAI is made up of identical twins MANA (lead vocals and keys) and KANA (guitar), ​ ​ ​ ​ drummer YUNA, and bassist-lyricist YUUKI. Following the release of 2019’s PUNK, ​ ​ ​ ​ CHAI’s adventures took them around the world, playing their high-energy and buoyant shows at music festivals like Primavera Sound and Pitchfork Music Festival, and touring with indie-rock mainstays like Whitney and Mac DeMarco. Like all musicians, CHAI spent 2020 forced to rethink the fabric of their work and lives. But CHAI took this as an opportunity to shake up their process and bring their music somewhere thrillingly new. Having previously used their maximalist recordings to capture the exuberance of their live shows, CHAI instead focused on crafting the slightly-subtler and more introspective kinds of songs they enjoy listening to at home—where, for the first time, they recorded all of the music. They draw R&B and hip-hop into their mix (Mac Miller, the Internet, and Brockhampton were on their minds) of dance-punk and pop-rock, all while remaining undeniably CHAI. While the band leaned into a more personal sound, WINK is also the first CHAI album ​ ​ to feature contributions from outside producers (Mndsgn, YMCK) as well as Ric ​ ​ Wilson. This impulse towards connection with others is in WINK’s title, too. After the ​ ​ “i” of PINK and the “u” of PUNK—which represented the band’s act of introducing ​ ​ ​ ​ themselves, and then of centering their audiences—they have come full circle with the “we” of WINK. It signals CHAI’s relationship with the outside world, an embrace of ​ ​ profound togetherness. Through music, as CHAI said, “we are all coming together.” In that act of opening themselves up, CHAI grew into their best work: “This album showed us, we’re ready to do more.” WATCH THE “ACTION” VIDEO WATCH THE “PLASTIC LOVE” VIDEO WATCH THE “DONUTS MIND IF I DO” VIDEO PRE-ORDER WINK ​ PRAISE FOR “ACTION” "One of CHAI’s greatest strengths is the Japanese band’s ability to weave between different genres, buoyed by their generous sense of humor and vibrantly catchy hooks” - Pitchfork ​ “This propulsive, retro-sounding bop from Japanese quartet CHAI deserves to soundtrack your next dance break.” - Nylon ​ “It’s so far their biggest earworm in a catalog of songs that can get stuck in your head for weeks.” - Vice ​ "The song alone is irresistible enough on its own, but CHAI’s fun-loving energy also comes through quite well in the video” - Paste ​ “You can hear the chilled-out direction on terrific new single ‘ACTION' that musically has a bit of a '90s hip hop feel” - Brooklyn Vegan ​ WINK Cover Artwork ​ Download hi-res images & album art: http://pitchperfectpr.com/chai/ ​ CHAI Online: http://chai-band.com/ https://twitter.com/CHAIofficialJPN https://www.instagram.com/chaiofficialjpn/ https://www.facebook.com/CHAIofficialJPN/ For more information, contact: Jacob Daneman | Pitch Perfect PR - [email protected], 773-271-6844 ​ ### .

Her feedback has pushed me to investigate these ideas with more clarity and direction than I initially thought possible, and her mentorship throughout this first step in my graduate career has been invaluable. I would also like to thank the other members of my committee, Dr. Aparajita Sagar and Dr. Ryan Schneider, for helping me polish this piece of writing and for supporting me throughout this two-year program as I prepared to write this by participating in their seminars and working with them to prepare conference materials. Without these three individuals I would not have the confidence that I now have to continue on in my academic career. Additionally, I would like to thank my friends in the English Department at Purdue University and my friends back home in Minnesota who listened to my jumbled thoughts about popular culture and Black womanhood and asked me challenging questions that helped me to shape the argument that appears in this document.

  • SCHOOLED: Hiphop Composition at the Predominantly White University
    Syracuse University SURFACE Dissertations - ALL SURFACE August 2017 SCHOOLED: Hiphop Composition at the Predominantly White University Tessa Rose Brown Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Arts and Humanities Commons Recommended Citation Brown, Tessa Rose, "SCHOOLED: Hiphop Composition at the Predominantly White University" (2017). Dissertations - ALL. 764. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/764 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT This dissertation asks what hiphop is doing in predominantly white higher-educational contexts, specifically in composition classrooms. Using ethnographic, autoethnographic, and historical methods, it finds that hiphop’s work in composition classrooms at PWIs is contradictory. This mixed-methods investigation suggests that the contradictory relation of white fans, students, and institutions to hiphop is shaped on the one hand by white listeners’ increasing identification with the historical struggles of African Americans under capitalism, and on the other hand, by disidentification or abjectification of African Americans in an effort to “win” the zero-sum game of capitalism. This contradiction results in a paradoxical situation where white fans—and white institutions—love hiphop and yet harbor antiblack views about the Black communities and Black students who make hiphop possible. However, the findings also suggest that identifying this tension offers writing instructors an opportunity to be more explicit about working towards anti-racist goals in the hiphop composition classroom. The dissertation’s historical study, ethnographic and autoethnographic studies, and review of contemporary hiphop and composition scholarship suggest that teaching and practicing reflexivity are core solutions to the paradoxical rhetorical action of hiphop in predominantly white spaces.

  • The Revolution Will Not Be Televised…But It Will Be Streamed”: Spotify, Playlist Curation, and Social Justice Movements
    “THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED…BUT IT WILL BE STREAMED”: SPOTIFY, PLAYLIST CURATION, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE MOVEMENTS Melissa Camp A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Music in the School of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2021 Approved by: Mark Katz Aaron Harcus Jocelyn Neal © 2021 Melissa Camp ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Melissa Camp: “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised…But It Will Be Streamed”: Spotify, Playlist Curation, and Social Justice Movements (Under the direction of Mark Katz) Since its launch in 2008, the Swedish-based audio streaming service Spotify has transformed how consumers experience music. During the same time, Spotify collaborated with social justice activists as a means of philanthropy and brand management. Focusing on two playlists intended to promote the Black Lives Matter movement (2013–) and support protests against the U.S. “Muslim Ban” (2017–2020), this thesis explores how Spotify’s curators and artists navigate the tensions between activism and capitalism as they advocate for social justice. Drawing upon Ramón Grosfoguel’s concept of subversive complicity (2003), I show how artists and curators help promote Spotify’s progressive image and bottom line while utilizing the company’s massive platform to draw attention to the people and causes they care most about by amplifying their messages. iii To Preston Thank you for your support along the way. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to thank my thesis advisor, Mark Katz, for his dedication and support throughout the writing process, especially in reading, writing, and being the source of advice, encouragement, and knowledge for the past year.
