Because, for the rich dish series, I stick to it, I take the opportunity to get the two of them to tell me everything and more, like the auditions…
The first thing I look for in a rave: who needs it and, among those who need it, who can handle this need?I sit outside for a while. In the courtyard, where it’s cooler. My crippled feet throb. I’m leaning on… something, or someone. Delicious tiredness. Rest your feet, drink some water. It’s getting day. I consider whether to go home. I lost my group – let’s call them Z and E. I think they’re still here somewhere. Everything is fine. A moment alone, without being alone.I watch the crowd. The small groups of people standing, sitting. I seem to…
Almost fifty records in ten years. This is the first assessment of Tǔk Music, the label between «dream and utopia», as Vittorio Albani recounts, which Paolo Fresu founded in 2010 and which will celebrate its tenth anniversary at JazzMI 2021 with the concert “Around Tǔk” and an exhibition.The label was born from the idea of discovering and enhancing the new talents of the Italian and international jazz scene (and not only), presenting them with projects with attention to the smallest details, from green packaging to connections with modern art, up to the punctual notes of cover. Tǔk Music is also…
Friday June 23rd has returned to radio and digital platforms Simonetta You breathe with the single Until dawn. The song is presented as a song with bright summer colors. Fresh and radio tones in which a hidden meaning makes its way, that not too veiled thought that leads us to think that today everything around us almost wants to push us to think that it is more important to fall in love only with ourselves and like ourselves, feed on mirrors rather than giving thoughts of love and attention to others. After all, narcissism, sometimes pathological, is one of the…

After over a decade in the spotlight, Big Freedia has become a sneakily unstoppable force. Following years of hard work on the New Orleans circuit, leading to a long-running reality series and her debut album, 2014’s Just Be Free, Freedia appeared on Beyoncé’s “Formation” in 2016 and kicked off a spate of successful, high-profile collabs. Now having been sampled on two No. 1 hits (“Break My Soul,” “Nice for What”) and released a couple of hit-or-miss EPs to fill the gap, Freedia takes a welcome victory lap with Central City, her long-awaited second album. Full of bass-heavy beats, idiosyncratic guest…
gIANMARIA Monster album review by Anna Ida Cortese “I would like to give a hand to you who feel lostI hope my wordsmay they be your new home” cit. from Popular – Monster gIANMARIA offers us a story face to face with the listener.

One year of work, ten…
