The dry, soft rock/prog rock of the ‘70s gave way to punk; overproduced hair metal gave way to grunge; MC Hammer-style rap crumbled under the gangsta rap of the ‘90s; and a myriad of vocal trends, when played out, are soon overtaken by that exact opposite of the popular on a loop throughout pop history. Lately I was wondering when all the male/female duets that came to prominence from the late ‘70s through the ‘90s faded out of pop, soul, and even country, and gave way to the guest MC (think every Mariah or J-Lo single of the past 20 years or how Iggy Azalea pays the bills) or the female-only duet. While girl-on-girl vocals are nothing new (Reba vs Linda Davis, Madonna vs Britney, Gaga vs Beyoncé) it seems like lately the only way to get a top ten hit is to pile one, two or three lady vocalists or emcees on top of each other. Looking at current hits like “Bang Bang,” “Fancy,” “Black Widow,” “***flawless,” and “Call My Name” (all of which feature any variation Rita- Ariana-Iggy-Nicki-Cheryl-Jessie-Beyoncé), I’m getting the feeling that this trend will need to crash soon, not just due to oversaturation, but also simply because they are all starting to blend. Then, like a breath of fresh air through a Spring window comes a possible savior, P!nk. You+Me, her new collaboration with City and Colour singer Dallas Green, hit my desktop last night and it’s like she said, “If I put out a pure pop rock CD now, I’m no better than these ladies I’ve broken the ceiling for.” You+Me goes 180 degrees from the current pop trends and pairs P!nk’s restrained, softer side with the counterpoint of Dallas’ equally pleasant but anchored harmony. To hear a man and a woman singing simple acoustic arrangements together (a bit similar to her duet with Nate Ruess last year), sounding more like ‘70s era Heart or ‘90s MTV Unplugged at its Alice In Chains/Nirvana best, sounds like they just stepped off a time machine from 20 years back, in a good way. Their album, Rose Ave., is the most refreshingly original CD to hit my ears since Beyoncé’s or Adele’s last release. It’s the type of album you drink in, then hit repeat, not skipping one track and retaining it all. The music equivalent of picking up a Cosmopolitan at the end of the Sex and the City movie and wondering, “Why did we ever stop drinking these?”. Drink up, kids. Hopefully we’re in for many new rounds of a new phase in pop. 10nightspots Oct. 15, 2014 STICKS AND STONES MAY PBREAKR MYI BONESD BUTE WILL NOT DESERT ME Kim Jong Un demonstrates North Korea’s Karaoke by Creagh weapons’ ability ot reach the U.S. TUES COMING SOON!

  • A Life in Stasis: New Album Reviews
    A Life In Stasis: New Album Reviews Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world With the Olympics failing to inspire, it can seem as if the only way to spend the long summer months is by playing endless rounds of tiddlywinks, or consuming copious amounts of Jammy Dodgers. But, that doesn’t have to be the case. There is a better way! For instance, you can take up ant farming, as my good friend Jeffrey has recently done, or immerse yourself in the wealth of fantastic new music which has recently come out. Personally, I would recommend the latter. By JOHN BITTLES In the following column we review some of the best new albums hitting the shelves over the coming weeks. We have the shadowy electronica of Pye Corner Audio, pop introspection by Angel Olsen, the post dubstep blues of Zomby, some sleek house from Komapkt, Kornél Kovács and Foans, the experimental genius of Gudrun Gut and Momus, and lots more. So, before someone starts chucking javelins in my direction, we had better begin… Back in 2012 Sleep Games by Pye Corner Audio quickly established itself as one of the most engaging and enthralling albums of modern times. On the record, ghostly electroncia, John Carpenter style synths, and epic, ambient soundscapes converged to create a body of work which still sounds awe-inspiringly beautiful today. After the melancholy acid of his Head Technician reissue last month, Martin Jenkins returns to his Pye Corner Audio alias late August with the haunted landscapes of the Stasis LP.

Die Pop-Kultur ist ein lebendiger Bestandteil der Musikmetropole Berlin. Umso wichtiger ist es, dass der Senat sich die Pop-Förderung auf seine Fahnen geschrieben hat. Wie sehr das lohnt, zeigt das facettenreiche Angebot, das sich auch wieder in diesem Programmheft spiegelt: Konzerte, darunter Weltpremieren, einzigartige neue Produktionen, DJ-Sets, Lesungen, Talks, Filmpremieren. Berliner Pop-Kultur – das sind bekannte große Namen genauso wie junge vielversprechende Nach- wuchstalente.

So international wie unsere Stadt ist auch unsere Pop-Szene. Berlin bietet wie keine andere Metropole die Freiheit, die diese Szene zur Entfaltung braucht. 2016 ist das Festival nach der erfolgreichen Erstausgabe im Berghain nach Neukölln weitergezogen. Das beweist: Berlin hat viele verschiedene kreative Ökosysteme. Wichtig für die perspektivische Entwicklung ist das Nachwuchsprogramm, das dieses Mal noch brei- ter aufgestellt ist. Mehr als 250 Talente aus aller Welt begegnen Expertinnen und Experten des Pop. Junge Künstlerinnen und Künstler profitieren vom Wissen erfahrener Macherinnen und Macher.

  • Abgeschüttelte Fesseln
    # 2018/16 dschungel https://www.jungle.world/artikel/2018/16/abgeschuettelte-fesseln Zola Jesus: Okovi: Additions Abgeschüttelte Fesseln Von Jana Sotzko Im vorigen Jahr erschien mit »Okovi« das sechste Album der US-amerikanischen Singer-Songwriterin Nika Roza Danilova alias Zola Jesus. Vier Songs schafften es nicht aufs Album und sind jetzt gemeinsam mit vier Remixen unter dem Titel »Okovi: Additions« erschienen. Der Frühlingsbeginn hat lange auf sich warten lassen, und auch was ­aktuelle Platten von Pop-Solokünstlerinnen anbelangt, herrschte die vergangenen Monate Dauerfrost. Chelsea Wolfes »Hiss Spun«, Zola Jesus‘ »Okovi«, Anna von Hausswolffs »Dead Magic« und »Plunge« von Fever Ray, teilen bei allen musikalischen Unterschieden eine Ästhetik des Kühlen, Morbiden und Theatralen. Das im September vergangenen Jahres veröffentlichte Album von Nika Roza Danilova, der unter dem Künstlernamen Zola Jesus auftretenden US- Amerikanerin mit osteuropäischem Migrationshintergrund ist ihr bisher düsterstes, auch wenn es von den vorgenannten Veröffentlichungen am hörbarsten mit Mainstreampop kokettiert. »Okovi« verbindet von Industrial und Goth-Rock ­beeinflusste elektronische Musik mit hochemotionalem Gesang und großzügig aufgetragenem Pathos. Benannt ist das Album nach dem slowenischen Wort für Fessel. Es ist das Resultat eines doppelten Rückzugs. Im wörtlichen Sinne zog sich die Musikerin für die Aufnahmen zurück in das ländliche Wisconsin ihrer Kindheit. Im musikalischen Sinne markiert »Okovi« den Abschied vom zugänglichen Pop des Vorgängers »Taiga« und sucht hörbar nach neuen Ausdrucksformen und Möglichkeiten, die titelgebenden Fesseln abzustreifen. In seinen besten Momenten schneidet »Okovi« sich mit präziser Aggression angenehm unangenehm den Weg frei (»Exhumed«) oder aber bleibt – als musikalischer Gegen­entwurf – gespenstisch und kryptisch (»NMO«). Depression, Krankheit und Tod bestimmen die Texte Danilovas, die auf dem Album schmerz­liche Erfahrungen im persönlichen Umfeld verarbeitet.
