Settimanale Di Migros Ticino Una Regina Di Qualità Una Regina di qualità L’irresistibile grazia del cantautorato di qualità: il ritorno dell’eccentrica e talentuosa Regina Spektor ci regala un nuovo album ricco di suggestioni preziose ed eleganti / 19.12.2016 di Benedicta Froelich Nell’ambito dell’odierno panorama pop-rock internazionale, capita, purtroppo, sempre più raramente di imbattersi in artisti di ultima generazione che siano in grado di infondere la propria musica di uno spirito in qualche modo innovativo e personale: uno stile non soltanto audace, ma anche contraddistinto da caratteristiche peculiari e riconoscibili, in grado di conferire a ogni brano una connotazione originale e individuale, inconfondibile all’interno della scena contemporanea. Eppure, nonostante l’anagrafe ci confermi che ha appena trentasei anni, l’affascinante Regina Spektor – cantautrice russa di origine ebraica, ormai da tempo prestata agli Stati Uniti e alla loro tradizione musicale – può essere promossa a pieni voti per quanto riguarda audacia compositiva e capacità di distinguersi dalla massa. A distanza di quattro anni dal successo dell’ultimo album, What We Saw from the Cheap Seats, Regina (che nel frattempo si è sposata ed è anche divenuta mamma), torna oggi alla ribalta con il nuovo Remember Us to Life: un disco agile, che ci permette di ritrovare una performer in forma smagliante, decisa a perseguire i propri obiettivi artistici attraverso le particolari e personalissime suggestioni stilistiche a cui ci ha abituati, pur lasciandosi andare a qualche piccola concessione a un «easy listening» leggermente più radiofonico e commerciale. Ciò si nota fin dalla traccia d’apertura, Bleeding Heart, che si rivela vincente grazie a un ritornello particolarmente accattivante, caratterizzato dagli irresistibili e vezzosi virtuosismi della voce della Spektor, magistrale nell’intessere delicati arabeschi destinati a culminare in una pura esplosione pop – il tutto, come sempre, caratterizzato da un uso sapiente e trasgressivo del pianoforte, strumento che funge da base per ogni singolo pezzo di Regina, già eccellente pianista di formazione classica. Certo, c’è da dire che la tracklist presenta qua e là anche brani non proprio originalissimi come Older and Taller e Tornadoland – entrambi molto gradevoli, ma forse un po’ troppo simili a pezzi presenti in dischi quali Soviet Kitsch (2004) e Far (2009); ma fortunatamente, Regina dimostra di saper osare ben di più con canzoni irriverenti e originali quali la ritmata Small Bill$ e, soprattutto, la visionaria Grand Hotel, in cui l’artista lascia libero sfogo alla propria vena surreale per offrire all’ascoltatore una metafora sul sottile velo che separa il mondo dei vivi da quello dei morti, nello specifico da un folcloristico «inferno» situato appena al di sotto di un insospettabile albergo cittadino – visioni che richiamano da vicino alcuni dei brani presenti nell’ottimo Begin to Hope (2006), l’ormai celeberrimo disco che ha donato alla Spektor la fama internazionale. Tuttavia, le tracce di impostazione apparentemente più «classica» non sfigurano all’interno dell’album: ne sono un esempio The Light e il pezzo di chiusura The Visit, che, sebbene di primo acchito non particolarmente memorabili, presentano una forza evocativa non indifferente. E se, di nuovo, Sellers of Flowers richiama un po’ troppo da vicino alcuni brani del passato, ciò non toglie nulla alla capacità di suggestione e al vigore interpretativo che lo caratterizzano. Anche perché l’efficacia dello stile di Regina non viene mai a mancare, come dimostrato da un esperimento quale The Trapper and the Furrier, in cui la Spektor unisce il suo peculiare stile di songwriting moderno alla tradizione dello storytelling angloamericano, nel tentativo di crea-re una vera e propria ballata gotica dagli accenti apocalittici che riverberi anche del gusto e delle suggestioni tipiche del suo tocco eccentrico. Atmosfere similari, ma più leggere, si riscontrano anche nei lenti, che la cantautrice riesce a infondere di accenti seducenti e scene emotivamente cariche, come nel caso di un pezzo delicato e toccante quale Obsolete; anche se, in verità, lo struggente intimismo di cui Regina è capace risalta soprattutto in Black and White, un’onirica e quasi ipnotica nenia dal sapore nostalgico e fortemente introspettivo. In definitiva, si può dire che anche questa volta la Spektor sia riuscita a regalare ai suoi sempre più numerosi ammiratori un disco profondo e toccante: Remember Us to Life non pullula forse di potenziali hit o brani «da singolo» come era accaduto con Begin to Hope, ma presenta tutte le caratteristiche che ci hanno fatto innamorare della musica di quest’artista, la quale si conferma come una delle performer più interessanti e originali dell’attuale scena internazionale. E se, qua e là tra le tracce del CD, si riscontra una lieve stasi creativa – esemplificata da una forte somiglianza a melodie e soluzioni armoniche già note ai fan – ciò non impedisce a Regina di riuscire comunque a far fruttare ancora una volta la propria maestria nell’intessere atmosfere sofisticate e ad alto voltaggio emotivo, riuscendo sempre a ottenere risultati comunque affascinanti e di sicura presa sugli ammiratori, e non solo..

  • Stevie Wonder's Musical Politics During the 1970S and 1980S a Thesis
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Wonderful Words: Stevie Wonder’s Musical Politics During the 1970s and 1980s A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in African American Studies by Sandra Marie Kilman 2017 © Copyright by Sandra Marie Kilman 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Wonderful Words: Stevie Wonder’s Musical Politics During the 1970s and 1980s by Sandra Marie Kilman Master of Arts in African American Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Robin Davis Gibran Kelley, Chair The problem of racial injustice in the United States continued to plague the nation during the 1970s despite the gains made by the Civil Rights Movement during the preceding decades. Under Republican administrations during the 1970s and 1980s, working Americans encountered new financial challenges as the lion’s share of economic growth benefitted the wealthiest citizens. As socially and politically conscious popular music faded in popularity, Stevie Wonder continued to express his concerns about the obstacles to the promise of freedom and equality that many Americans continued to face. This paper examines four songs, written and performed by Wonder - “Living for the City,” “You Haven’t Done Nothing,” “Happy Birthday,” and “It’s Wrong,” - to track the trajectory of his commentary from local, community-based issues to national, political topics and, finally, to international causes. ii The thesis of Sandra Marie Kilman is approved. Richard Yarborough Shana Redmond Robin Davis Gibran Kelley, Committee Chair University of California, Los Angeles 2017 iii Acknowledgments This paper is dedicated to my family, whose love has sustained me throughout my life.

  • PRESSEMITTEILUNG 03.04.2017 Regina Spektor Kommt Für Eine
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 03.04.2017 Regina Spektor kommt für eine exklusive Show nach Berlin Zum Glück gibt es noch Momente, in denen alles in Ordnung ist. Wenn man Regina Spektor bei einem Live-Auftritt lauschen darf beispielsweise. Die New Yorkerin, die noch in der Sowjetunion geboren wurde und als Neunjährige in die USA kam, verzaubert mit ihrer Stimme und ihrem Klavierspiel jeden Zuhörer. Kein Wunder: Ursprünglich wollte sie Konzertpianistin werden, doch das hat sich zum Schöneren gewendet, wie sie einmal sagte: „Ich wollte immer klassisch konzertieren, von Ort zu Ort reisen, neue Stücke einstudieren und Menschen stundenlang auf dem Klavier vorspielen. Genau das mache ich jetzt, nur nicht mit Kompositionen von Chopin und Mozart, sondern meinen eigenen.“ 2001 erschien ihr erstes Album „11:11“, eine Sammlung stark vom Jazz und Blues beeinflusster Lieder. Doch erst mit dem grandiosen „Soviet Kitsch“ und anschließend mit dem vergoldeten „Begin To Hope“ gelang ihr der Durchbruch. Spektor ging mit den Strokes, den Kings Of Leon und den wesensverwandten Moldy Peaches auf Tour, ihre Songs sind in diversen Serien und Filmen wie Orange Is The New Black (für das Stück „You’ve Got Time“ wurde sie für den Grammy nominiert), Grey’s Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, The Good Wife und vielen anderen verwendet worden. Sie spielte für die Obamas und ihre Gäste im Weißen Haus und trat bei Benefizveranstaltungen für Tibet, Ärzte Ohne Grenzen und andere auf. Auf Tour mit The Moldy Peaches lernte sie nebenbei deren Gitarristen und ihren heutigen Ehegatten Jack Dishel kennen, mit dem sie seit 2014 einen Sohn hat.
