On Sunday night I was putting my clothes away and realised Virgin had been out for almost a year. I decided something had to be done about that. To be honest I haven’t really known how to talk about Virgin since it came out. I’d thought I was accustomed and even a bit desensitised to marketing and commodifying my feelings at this point in my life, but sharing Virgin felt raw and exposing in a new way.* I interviewed poorly, couldn’t write here, haven’t posted much.

Non è stato l’Occidente a scoprirlo: è stato lui a costringere l’Occidente a rivolgere lo sguardo verso Dakar. Registrato nel 1984, “Immigrés / Bitim Rew” cattura proprio questo momento di passaggio, quando lo mbalax aveva ormai raggiunto la piena maturità artistica e iniziava a dialogare con il…

Olivia Rodrigo: Sì. Oh mio Dio. Cioè, fortunatamente mi capita ancora oggi di ascoltare degli album per la prima volta e fare: “Ma che cavolo? Oh mio Dio, come ho fatto a non averlo mai sentito?”. Sento che quell’amore, quella meraviglia infantile e quell’appetito per la musica non sono svaniti, per…
