2015-04-07 15:04 CEST FUN. FRONTMAN NATE RUESS HERALDS DEBUT SOLO ALBUM. "GRAND ROMANTIC" ARRIVES ON JUNE 16th. GRAMMY® Award-winning recording artist Nate Ruess has announced the release of his debut solo album. “GRAND ROMANTIC” arrives on June 16th via Fueled By Ramen. “GRAND ROMANTIC” is heralded by the new hit single, “Nothing Without Love,” which is currently ascending at multi-format radio outlets nationwide including Top 20 airplay at Alternative and Hot AC. In addition, the song’s companion video – directed by Anthony Mandler (fun., Rihanna, Taylor Swift). Se video på YouTube her Ruess is set to be honored with the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s prestigious “Hal David Starlight Award,” established to honor gifted songwriters who are making a significant impact in the music industry via their original songs. Past awardees include 2014 honoree Imagine Dragons’ Dan Reynolds, Taylor Swift, John Legend, Alicia Keys, Ne-Yo, Drake, Benny Blanco, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Rob Thomas and John Rzeznik. The 2015 Songwriters Hall of Fame Annual Induction and Awards Dinner will be held Thursday, June 18th in New York City. “GRAND ROMANTIC” sees Ruess continuing to merge an array of distinct influences into his own voluminous pop songcraft. Inspired by new love, the in-demand singer/tunesmith – whose recent credits include P!nk’s GRAMMY®-nominated #1 hit, “Just Give Me A Reason (Feat. Nate Ruess),” Eminem’s “Headlights (Feat. Nate Ruess),” and Brian Wilson’s hugely anticipated new album, “NO PIER PRESSURE” – penned a series of ambitious songs that span sentimental standards to cinematic anthems. The album sees widescreen production from longtime collaborators Jeff Bhasker (“SOME NIGHTS,” Beyoncé, Drake) and Emile Haynie (Eminem, Kanye West, Lana Del Rey) and contributions from such diverse artists as Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Josh Klinghoffer and LL/Atlantic recording artist Lykke Li, both of whom guest on “Nothing Without Love.” Other highlights of “GRAND ROMANTIC” include “Take It Back,” described in a recent Rolling Stone exclusive as “a somber ballad” showcasing a stellar guitar solo from Wilco mainman Jeff Tweedy that Ruess calls “the greatest gift of my life.” For more, check out www.rollingstone.com/music/features/nate-ruess-on-going-solo-and-the- future-of-fun-exclusive-20150206.

Music, Corporate Power, and Unending War
03Scherzinger.qxd 5/20/2005 1:43 PM Page 23 MUSIC, CORPORATE POWER, AND UNENDING WAR Martin Scherzinger The triumph of advertising in the culture industry is that consumers feel compelled to buy and use its products even though they see through it. —Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno INTRODUCTION: IN QUEST OF A NEWER MUSICOLOGY Sixty years after its original publication, Max Horkheimer and Theo- dor W. Adorno’s Dialektic der Aufklärung resonates uncannily with our times. The central motifs of their bleak and horrifying diagnosis of the culture industry ring as true today as ever. While contemporary critics mostly regard Horkheimer and Adorno’s analysis of audience demand and reception dynamics as antiquated, this essay argues for the continued relevance of their indictment of culture under the (oppressive) authority of monopoly capital. In particular, the essay traces an emergent Schulterschluss between commercial and political power, with a special interest in the involvement of the music indus- try and the media conglomerates. This is not to say that contem- porary America operates under identical rules and constraints as the America of the 1940s. It does not. Nor is it to argue that capitalist America essentially approximates fascism, as Horkheimer and Adorno sometimes imply. The opening arguments of “The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception,” for example, are predicated on this fundamental similarity: “Even the aesthetic activities of political opposites are one in their enthusiastic obedience to the rhythm of the iron system. The decorative industrial management of buildings and exhibition centers in authoritarian countries are much the same as anywhere else” (1997, 120).
