Sara Bareilles non ha tempo per le cose che non le sembrano autentiche. «Superati i 40 anni ho deciso di liberarmi di ogni finzione. Non voglio mantenere alcuna distanza nelle relazioni, nelle conversazioni, con i fan, nella musica. Non voglio artifici. Nascondersi è facile. Sono terrorizzata, ma non mi nascondo».Sono passati quasi vent’anni da quando Bareilles ha pubblicato Love Song, dove rispondeva ironicamente alle richieste della sua etichetta discografica (immaginate la versione millennial di You Turn Me On I’m a Radio di Joni Mitchell). Quella canzone è diventata paradossalmente una hit e le ha fatto avere due nomination ai Grammy,…

Gli Haircut 100 potrebbero essere la band più anni ’80 degli anni ’80, un gruppo di post adolescenti inglesi con cravatte e gilet da bravi studenti del college. Trasmettevano intelligenza e fascino, cavalcavano le classifiche con classici da MTV come Love Plus One. A cantare c’era il teen idol Nick Heyward, arrivato direttamente dalla periferia londinese. Nel 1982 Rolling Stone li definiva «il suono nuovo più fresco del pop». Avevano anche uno dei nomi di band più ridicoli e allo stesso tempo brillanti del periodo. Come dice oggi Heyward sorridendo, «all’epoca pensavo: magari non combiniamo niente, ma almeno abbiamo un…

Based on their titles—Deliverance and Damnation—you’d probably guess Damnation was the heavy one. While Deliverance follows more or less in the footsteps of Blackwater Park, Damnation digs into a strange new realm for the band, uncovering something even darker. Gone are the extended multi-part suites and intricate guitar workouts, replaced by slight, tender melodies engulfed in a striking emptiness. Wilson’s keyboards lurk around every corner, summoning vistas that are more claustrophobic than sprawling. Åkerfeldt sings as if he’s trapped in a never-ending goodbye, sighing about moonlit skies, faces glanced through windows, old photographs, “skin covering secret scars.” In “To Rid…

Poppy missed her Upheaval Festival set due to “hazardous” air quality, with her band playing without her while wearing masks. The singer had been due to perform at the festival in Grand Rapids, Michigan yesterday (July 17), shortly before Friday night headliners Gojira.

Poppy later explained on her Instagram Stories that smoke from ongoing Canadian wildfires had caused the Air Quality Index around the festival to exceed 350 near…
