Andy LaPlegua was one of the key characters within the scene alternative electronics, first with the Icon Of Coil project (one of the leading names of the futurepop movement) and subsequently with the creature Combichrist, or rather the definitive transformation into something more violent and muscular, what was once defined club industrial (albums like “Everybody Hates You” and “What The F**k Is Wrong With You People?” made an entire generation of people dance cybergoth).Later, the Norwegian musician (who had already moved to Atlanta some time ago) chose to Americanize This soundcontaminating it with both metalcore and industrial metal: from being…
Katy Perry is just the latest in a long line of artists who have seen their music used by the American government as background music for military propaganda videos. It had happened to Ariana Grande, whose Bye had become the soundtrack of social clips in favor of ICE together with Juno by Sabrina Carpenter, but also to Olivia Rodrigo (“don't use my songs to promote your racist and hate propaganda”, her words), Kesha, Zara Larsson, MGMT, Blue Öyster Cult and the White Stripes, despite Jack White being one of the musicians most opposed to Trump's policies.Like all the artists mentioned…

I have a theory that some of the best albums of a pop singer’s career often follow an ugly split. Consider Mariah Carey’s club-ready Emancipation of Mimi, Björk’s cinematic magnum opus Vulnicura, and the sleazy electro pulse of Britney Spears’ Blackout (to the astonishment of her producers, Spears started recording “Radar” the day after filing for divorce from Kevin Federline). Pop is best served raw, when the artist becomes a vessel for emotions listeners don’t always have the language for. Also, what better way to heal than to materialize a hit album?Jackson was also at a critical point in her…
