  • BIO INDIA.ARIE Lauded As a Soul Music Superstar from Her Early
    BIO INDIA.ARIE Lauded as a soul music superstar from her early twenties, India.Arie has always been at once angelic and mystical while managing to never isolate her audience – she is as at home accompanying a hip hop artist as she is producing truly spine-tingling soul music. India’s message of healing, love, and compassion viewed through the lens of her indelible artistry and spiritual practice has made her a global difference-maker for nearly two decades. It was 2001’s seminal Acoustic Soul (nominated for seven GRAMMYs) and the groundbreaking self-acceptance anthem “Video”, that established her as a bold new transformative force in music. Twenty-two GRAMMY nominations later (with four GRAMMY wins), she endures as one of the most empowering artists in music history (she launched her own lifestyle/music brand SoulBird in 2011), notching multiple award-winning albums and influential, chart-topping singles, meshing soul, folk, pop, R&B and hip hop and redefining the boundaries of the socially conscious singer/songwriter. Recognized as a major influence for a new generation of socially aware artists, India is both ahead of her time and of it - an evocative creative force on a mission to spread healing, peace, love and unconditional self-acceptance through the power of words and music. It’s no secret to India.Arie fans that the word ‘worthy’ has been an empowering expression of self-love for her and her audience over the years. Faithfully repurposed as the title and theme of her brand new 16-track album, including 13 songs and 3 interludes, India’s first full-length offering in five years is set to impact a world finally attuned to the kind of empathic sea-change the humanitarian singer/songwriter has embraced her entire career.

  • 'I Spy': Mike Leigh in the Age of Britpop (A Critical Memoir)
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Glasgow School of Art: RADAR 'I Spy': Mike Leigh in the Age of Britpop (A Critical Memoir) David Sweeney During the Britpop era of the 1990s, the name of Mike Leigh was invoked regularly both by musicians and the journalists who wrote about them. To compare a band or a record to Mike Leigh was to use a form of cultural shorthand that established a shared aesthetic between musician and filmmaker. Often this aesthetic similarity went undiscussed beyond a vague acknowledgement that both parties were interested in 'real life' rather than the escapist fantasies usually associated with popular entertainment. This focus on 'real life' involved exposing the ugly truth of British existence concealed behind drawing room curtains and beneath prim good manners, its 'secrets and lies' as Leigh would later title one of his films. I know this because I was there. Here's how I remember it all: Jarvis Cocker and Abigail's Party To achieve this exposure, both Leigh and the Britpop bands he influenced used a form of 'real world' observation that some critics found intrusive to the extent of voyeurism, particularly when their gaze was directed, as it so often was, at the working class. Jarvis Cocker, lead singer and lyricist of the band Pulp -exemplars, along with Suede and Blur, of Leigh-esque Britpop - described the band's biggest hit, and one of the definitive Britpop songs, 'Common People', as dealing with "a certain voyeurism on the part of the middle classes, a certain romanticism of working class culture and a desire to slum it a bit".

  • Cultural Representations of the Moors Murderers and Yorkshire Ripper Cases
    CULTURAL REPRESENTATIONS OF THE MOORS MURDERERS AND YORKSHIRE RIPPER CASES by HENRIETTA PHILLIPA ANNE MALION PHILLIPS A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern Languages School of Languages, Cultures, Art History, and Music College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham October 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This thesis examines written, audio-visual and musical representations of real-life British serial killers Myra Hindley and Ian Brady (the ‘Moors Murderers’) and Peter Sutcliffe (the ‘Yorkshire Ripper’), from the time of their crimes to the present day, and their proliferation beyond the cases’ immediate historical-legal context. Through the theoretical construct ‘Northientalism’ I interrogate such representations’ replication and engagement of stereotypes and anxieties accruing to the figure of the white working- class ‘Northern’ subject in these cases, within a broader context of pre-existing historical trajectories and generic conventions of Northern and true crime representation. Interrogating changing perceptions of the cultural functions and meanings of murderers in late-capitalist socio-cultural history, I argue that the underlying structure of true crime is the counterbalance between the exceptional and the everyday, in service of which its second crucial structuring technique – the depiction of physical detail – operates.

  • Agency in the Afrofuturist Ontologies of Erykah Badu and Janelle Monáe
    Open Cultural Studies 2018; 2: 330–340 Research Article Nathalie Aghoro* Agency in the Afrofuturist Ontologies of Erykah Badu and Janelle Monáe https://doi.org/10.1515/culture-2018-0030 Received May 21, 2018; accepted September 26, 2018 Abstract: This article discusses the visual, textual, and musical aesthetics of selected concept albums (Vinyl/CD) by Afrofuturist musicians Erykah Badu and Janelle Monaé. It explores how the artists design alternate projections of world/subject relations through the development of artistic personas with speculative background narratives and the fictional emplacement of their music within alternate cultural imaginaries. It seeks to establish that both Erykah Badu and Janelle Monáe use the concept album as a platform to constitute their Afrofuturist artistic personas as fluid black female agents who are continuously in the process of becoming, evolving, and changing. They reinscribe instances of othering and exclusion by associating these with science fiction tropes of extraterrestrial, alien lives to express topical sociocultural criticism and promote social change in the context of contemporary U.S. American politics and black diasporic experience. Keywords: conceptual art, Afrofuturism, gender performance, black music, artistic persona We come in peace, but we mean business. (Janelle Monáe) In her Time’s up speech at the Grammys in January 2018, singer, songwriter, and actress Janelle Monáe sends out an assertive message from women to the music industry and the world in general. She repurposes the ambivalent first encounter trope “we come in peace” by turning it into a manifest for a present-day feminist movement. Merging futuristic, utopian ideas with contemporary political concerns pervades Monáe’s public appearances as much as it runs like a thread through her music.

It is for him to repay nature and to offer his gifts to humanity, in The mentor-protégé relationship all humility of heart, as an act of gratitude for the grace bestowed upon him.” can be one of the most important —Serge Koussevitzky in our lives. In this exhibit are a few examples of people who have led and continue to lead the way for others. There are thousands more. Are there people who have helped you whom you want to thank? Are there people to whom you need to reach out a hand? “The life and essence of art – whether it is a painting, music or dance – lies in expressing a wellspring of emotion, the universal realm of the human spirit. It is a melding of the individual and the universal. That is why great art reaches out beyond ethnic and national barriers to move people the world over.” — Daisaku Ikeda, Founder of ICAP and President of Soka Gakkai International This exhibit is sponsored by the International Committee of Artists for Peace (ICAP), a coalition of artists and organizations dedicated to promoting global peace and individual happiness through concerts, exhibitions, educational activities and programs for young people.

  • {PDF} Diamond in the Rough : a Memoir Ebook Free Download
    DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH : A MEMOIR PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Shawn Colvin | 240 pages | 10 Jun 2012 | HarperCollins Publishers Inc | 9780061759598 | English | New York, United States Diamond in the Rough : A Memoir PDF Book I had to get over that a little bit and just believe there were parts in there that are universal. It is a gritty, no-holds-barred, brutally honest soul- baring confessional memoir that is at once uplifting and sad at the same time. Fans of Shawn Colvin will like this the most. She does a great job with her depression. Colvin chronicles an impressive array of accompanists and backup, two husbands, and myriad awards such as her gold record with the hit "Sunny Came Home," all while maintaining a low-key, sweet humility that is truly endearing. Every one of us has a story to tell that begs to be told, enjoyed, and preserved. It's a book for fans, first and foremost. Apr 10, Laura rated it liked it. Oct 24, Michele rated it really liked it. Enabling JavaScript in your browser will allow you to experience all the features of our site. Her next studio album, Whole New You found Colvin examining her new motherhood and the responsibilities of family. Refresh and try again. It's with an impressive absence of self-pity and a dry, unassuming style that she teases humour out of the most unpalatable episodes. In her personal memoir she is speaking of the trauma from her ex-husband husband number two and kids father. She is funny, candid, shoots from the hip, someone with whom I can certainly relate and empathize, on a number of different levels.
