  • Thinking on 4:44 [DWR, 7.7.17]
    Thinking on 4:44 [DWR, 7.7.17] There is little room for debate in pointing to JAY Z ’s new album as important. The tight, ten-track release – with a bonus three cuts on CD and vinyl – presents as watershed because of popular attending to the vulnerability put center, and because of JAY Z’s deep Black identities that anchor the long play. Bluntly, mainstream isn’t used to the complexity of adult men of color outlining mistakes, assuming responsibility, and maintaining fidelity to their Culture in ways that remain unapologetic while also apologizing to those they’ve hurt. This humanness is publicly relegated to a special-whiteness. So then, when a Black man occupies this human touch he becomes a novelty, ironically objectified with his break from typical objectification and reduction to stereotype. No doubt, JAY is a special one. He is a master artist, a clever businessman and has effectively worked the angles to become iconic without being a clown. The strength of 4:44 is not in the trappings, rather it’s in the letting go. The sub-sixty- minute narrative wins as a statement of psychological balance. It is a release of the shame assumed in trying to fit to that special-whiteness, in performance to the respectability gaze that has us tapping to a rhythm that is not our own. Producer No I.D. pivots from Nina Simone to Donny Hathaway to Stevie Wonder and other thick soul samples as a blueprint for freedom fighting, allowing JAY Z the space to take deep breaths and to be.

She crafts her ass off, shops at thrift stores, and loves to experiment with hair dye. In fact, despite her hordes of Twitter followers (around 3.5 million at last count), the numerous Web sites devoted to her opinions and outfits, and the way-too-obsessive media analy- sis of her comings-and-goings, Williams is shockingly normal. So normal that, while talking to her, you almost forget that while your average Tuesday-night plans revolve around watching House Hunters, hers might consist of playing a sold-out show at Lon- don’s Wembley Arena.

  • Leila El Bashir Serious Listeners of Music Often Talk About Their Favorite Songs and Bands in Terms of Their Favorite Genres, Ho
    THE DEATH OF PUNK: REINCARNATION OF A DEAD GENRE Leila El Bashir Serious listeners of music often talk about their favorite songs and bands in terms of their favorite genres, however, most listeners do not have a clear conception of what it means for a piece of music to be categorized in a specific genre. Genre is a form of classification that most people correlate strictly with musical style, that is, the way a song sounds. People do not realize that genres today are becoming more like artificial categories defined by the music industry and popular culture to commodify and commercialize music. This popular culture can be summed up to what Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer, in The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception, terms the culture industry. They suggest that culture and its products, such as music, are being commodified and that culture as a common denominator already contains in its embryo that schematisation and process of cataloguing and classification which bring culture within the sphere of administration (7). In this way, genres can be viewed as a branch of the culture industry, being a form of classification that can be managed by culture administration. Therefore, one can see how culture and genre interact. Furthermore, David Brackett in his article, Musical meaning: genres, categories, and crossover, suggests how genres are more than musical style: Genres bring with them connotations about music and identity which may encode specific affective qualities such as conformity, rebelliousness, commercialism, selling out, art for arts sake; and may encode a whole variety of social characteristics (66).

  • She's So Unusual
    “She’s So Unusual”--Cyndi Lauper (1983) Added to the National Registry: 2018 Essay by Dale Sherman (guest post)* Album cover Original label Back of album When Cyndi Lauper was signed to Portrait Records to do a solo album in Fall 1982, the plans by those at the label for the recording sessions were not that unusual: place the spunky unknown in front of a microphone to sing songs producer Rick Chertoff had collected and be satisfied with a hit single or two. Little did they realize that Cyndi was not some waif-like innocent, unfamiliar with the big, bad world of the music business. Instead, through her determination to make sure her personality and creativity came through in the music, “She’s So Unusual” (released October 1983), would result in four U.S. top ten singles (and a fifth that made the top forty), multiple awards from the recording and video industries, and ultimately produce a legacy of material that has been remixed, reinvented, and interpreted by many fellow artists over the years. Born June 22, 1953 in Brooklyn, Cyndi had already been a professional singer for nearly ten years before beginning work on “She’s So Unusual,” and was quite wise to the inevitable ups and downs that come with making it in the music business. Cyndi’s early years in cover bands meant only long hours with little creative output, and eventually having to spend a long year with a voice coach to regain her four-octave vocal range after damaging her vocal cords by using improper voice technique.
