Anti // Rihanna
From the fateful day Rihanna’s Instagram featured a studio shot back in October 2014, Anti has been the buzz word on everybody’s lips. Notably, Rihanna has utilised the greats in her industry, employing the music skills of Kanye, Sir Paul McCartney, Sia, Florence Welch and Natalia Kills to name just a few of the plethora of stars involved in the album’s production. Already featuring raw, soulful vocals in ‘FourFiveSeconds’, and providing a feast for our eyes in the visually stunning yet graphic ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’, the morsels released have generated a hungry appetite for its release, paving the way for what many have dubbed album of the year.
The internet sphere has been abuzz, and we can expect the album to be filled to the brim with new genres and experiments for Rihanna. One such genre is that of dancehall, popularised in Jamaica and the Caribbean, suggesting that she is looking to her roots to develop her new sound. Interestingly, the album marks a pivotal stage within her career, in which the transition between international pop star and infamous superstar must be bridged. Although a collaboration with the holy trinity (Rihanna / Beyoncé / Nicki Minaj) seems unlikely, the album promises to deliver a star-studded line-up, golden R&B hits and, most importantly, RiRi at her all-time best.
How Does It Feel // MSMR
Founding a music label that has released tracks for artists such as HAIM, Charli XCX and Marina and the Diamonds, MSMR are keen to slingshot from the success of their fellow label comrades and gain a cult following with their second album, due to be released on the 17th of July. Infamous for the psychedelic, dreamy pop sounds and synth-powered ballads, MSMR’s sound is both intriguing and instantly recognisable. Their newest release is set to be dripping with the dreamy vibes associated with their act, yet seeks to establish themselves as the newest sound of pop as acts such as Years & Years bring dreamy pop to the masses
With teasers nestled in the tracks ‘Painted’, ‘Wrong Victory’, ‘Criminal’ and the eponymously titled ‘How Does It Feel’, the band have established an amalgamation of synths, dreams and ballads layered over a very personal message. The music expected from the band’s second album is easily comparable to the sounds of a Wordsworth poem, or the images evoked in a Picasso painting. ‘Painted’ itself delivers the pop anthem expected, whilst the title track establishes a dreamscape of beats that are bound to be maintained throughout the album’s other melodies. Undoubtedly, the listener will be taken on an emotional rollercoaster, whilst their hands are held tightly with the synths and beats. How Does It Feel could be the most underrated album of the year.
Honeymoon // Lana del Rey
Arguably the most hotly anticipated follow-up of 2015, Lana del Rey looks to continue the success of her three major label releases to achieve yet another number one album. Images of smoky jazz bars and artistically noir melodies are instantly conjured to the mind whenever Honeymoon is mentioned – linking heavily to Lana del Rey’s trademark style. Shrouded in mystery and ambiguity, little is known about the album itself, and this creates a stark contrast to the numerous heavily-promoted albums that litter the charts. The album, much like Lana herself, remains elusive and aloof, with the exclusive teaser being drip-fed throughout the spheres of Twitter and Instagram.
Interviews and the singer’s personal social media accounts have revealed we can expect a cover of Nina Simone’s ‘Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood’, as well as a collaboration with Mark Ronson, establishing the album as something that will become the must-listen to record. Alluding to her sound in Grazia as “close to the golden age of jazz” and to be filled with “majestic choruses” and “beautiful orchestrations”, Honeymoon appears to be aiming for a sense of grandeur that sees a definitive shift from pop-based jazz to something more definitively jazzy. Yet, naturally, the self-defined “gangster Nancy Sinatra” will ooze from each chord. The album will serve as something that will divide the masses, but will undoubtedly establish itself as one of the year’s best albums.
TBC // Grimes
Originally scheduled for release in September last year, Grimes, real name Claire Boucher, has returned to the studio to record her latest album, dubbing it as a “surprise”. Her sound isn’t easily definable, and her release will link into this – oozing with unexpected riffs, jumpy skits and her trademark, eerie vocals. Something worth noting, however, is the presence of guitars for the first time, marking a shift in the experimental sounds of the artist. This only adds to the anticipation the album is generating, with its mystery and expected ethereal pop culminating to create a hype that is overflowing.
Interesting, recent singles ‘Go’ and ‘REALiTi’ aren’t expected to feature on this latest release, meaning that very little is known about the album or what it will sound like. The singer has, however, stated through her Twitter account that “every track is super different”. Could the untitled release be a genre-spanning masterpiece, using only her trademark vocals to intertwine the individual tracks into an album of genius? All that can be confirmed is the presence of Grimes’ talent, something that cannot be denied. The album will showcase an unheard version of the singer, and will establish her as a musical force and master of her own sound.
Radio Silence // James Blake
Expected to collaborate with both Kanye West and Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, James Blake will once again aim to prove his musical intelligence to intertwine varying disciples into a cohesive sound. As a follow-up to his impressiveOvergrown, the singer-songwriter and producer will seek to continue his ascent into stardom through technical mastery and electronic wizardry. His sound is something that is easily listenable and transports the listener to their very own world, a world that is encapsulated by the word ‘zen’. It is expected that his latest release will further capture the listening audience, and heighten the sense of ‘zen’ throughout its audience.
The Mercury-Prize winner will be looking to maximise on the exposure gained, and reportedly utilising this album to “dabble in different production techniques”. James Blake as an artist is destined for stardom, and this latest album could catapult him into the hallowed halls of greatness, of which his musical mastery is deserving of. Although a release was apparently scheduled for April this year, the release has been stalled for later on. Overall, the album will be more than worth the wait, showcasing tracks filled with talent and raw emotion – an album that will definitely influence thousands of artists, and music as we know it.

Billie Holiday, known as Lady Day, was one of the greatest jazz singers from the 1930s-‘50s. She recorded with Benny Goodman, Teddy Wilson and Count Basie, as well as touring with Artie Shaw in 1937 and 1938. Her three concerts at Carnegie Hall were sold out, and she sang in Europe, as well as the U.S.
In a mesmerising production the story of this remarkable artist is brought to life. With the stage placed to the left, with some of the audience sitting at tables, and the bar placed to one side, the setting recreated the Emerson Bar & Grill. This allowed Zahra Newman as Lady Day to move comfortably among the audience as well as perform from the stage.
Wearing a long white dress, Zahra creates the spirit and artistry of Billie Holiday with such songs as I Wonder Where our Love has Gone, God Bless the Child, Strange Fruit and Deep Song (I only know misery). As the evening wore on, as she imbibed more alcohol, as she became more disorientated, it was clear that life had taken its toll.
The musicians, pianist Kym Purling, drummer Calvin Welch and double bass player Victor Rounds provided great support, with Kym Purling, as Jimmy, being the ‘main man’.
Interlaced with the music is the story of her troubled life, her dramatic childhood, drug and alcohol addiction, abusive relationships and being subjected to appalling racial prejudice and sexism.
In contrast she was an acknowledged jazz singer, successful recording artist, and for a time earning a lot of money. Lanie Robertson’s script weaves this story skilfully, told with ironic humour.
Zahra does not attempt to impersonate Billie Holiday, but in her performance, her acting, her charming of the audience, the stumbles and the singing, she evokes Billie Holiday’s life and artistry with authenticity and integrity. It is a virtuoso performance.

Last weekend brought another snowy Sunday to New England….and to parts of Provence. It snowed unusually hard in the Var where Trobador reader Pamela O’Neill said she had to brush off several centimeters of snow from her car. But the roads were so icy she could not go anywhere. So, what to do? If she were on this side of the Atlantic, we would have asked her to join us….
And what does a small group of Francophiles do in New Hampshire? Ah, mais bien sur, they gather ‘round the piano to listen to the music of France’s most famous chanteuse.
Édith Piaf, born Édith Giovanna Gassion in 1915, embodied in abundance what the French value in being French—tenacity, strength, romantic triumph and tragedy, survivalism, passion, and patriotism—all rolled into one tiny and nervous 4 foot, 8 inch frame. Known, as La Môme Piaf—“The Little Sparrow”—this petite powerhouse rose from the gritty working-class streets of Belleville-Menilmontant to cultural icon status during World War II with her incomparable spirit and songs like Mon Légionnaire.*
Piaf was born into a family in the entertainment business (although not the sort of entertainment that provided a regular paycheck). Her mother, Annetta Giovanna Maillard (1895 – 1945) was a café singer with…
Italian, Moroccan and French roots. Her French father, Louis-Alphonse Gassion (1881 – 1944) was a street performer who occasionally found a stage. His mother, with whom Edith lived from 1916 to 1929, owned a brothel in Normandy. The prostitutes are said to have been fond of the young girl and to have tended to her needs, including medical care. (They even arranged to have young Edith sent to Lisieux, the second largest pilgrimage center for spiritual healing, to treat her loss of eyesight due to keratitis, an infection that stems from herpes simplex virus.). At age 14, in 1929, young Piaf began working with her father in his street performances that took them around the country but she left him before long to perform on her own in Paris. At 17, she gave birth to her only child Marcelle who died two years later to meningitis.
In 1935 at age 20, while singing on streets of the Pigalle area of Paris, Piaf was discovered by nightclub owner, Louis Leplée. He instilled confidence in the promising performer, gave her the famous moniker that would later become part of her stage name, and promoted her toward stardom. But, Leplée was murdered the next year and Piaf was initially accused of being an accessory to his murder. Although she was acquitted, her career suffered from the negative publicity surrounding the case and prompted Ms. Piaf to seek help to change her image. As part of this effort, she changed her name to “Edith Piaf” and enlisted Marguerite Monnot, who had already composed songs for Piaf, to begin writing songs that incorporated the story of how the singer was able to overcome her impoverished past.
By the 1940s, Piaf’s career was back on track. She co-starred in a one-act play, Le Bel Indifférent, by Jean Cocteau; she befriended people like Maurice Chevalier, Jacques Borgeat, and Yves Montand (whose later fame Piaf is credited with establishing); and began to write her own lyrics. During the War when she is said to have performed for German forces and to have worked for the Resistance, her fame soared nationally and internationally.
As 1950s commenced, Piaf’s personal life careened off track. In 1949, her lover Marcel Cerdan, world champion (French) middleweight boxer, was killed in a plane crash. Two years later, Piaf sustained serious injuries in an automobile accident, leading to morphine prescriptions and eventual addiction. Two other serious car crashes followed and contributed to her continued addiction in spite of several rehabilitation attempts. She married Jacques Pills, also a singer, in 1952 and divorced him in 1956.
In spite of her drug and alcohol problems, Piaf continued to perform in Europe and abroad. In the mid-1950s, in the U.S. where her appeal was slow to emerge, she appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show eight times and at numerous packed venues around the country, including two appearances at Carnegie Hall.
Trobador reader Bob Haft and his wife Vicky are among those who got to see Piaf perform. “It was a long time ago,” Haft laughed. Indeed it was as long as 60 years ago. Since I can barely remember where I saw musicians when I was young (like Jimi Hendrix in the 1960s), I understand when he reports that he and his wife can’t say with complete certainty but they think the concert was in New York’s Palace Theatre on Broadway. They definitely recall that Piaf was “absolutely wonderful.”
In 1962, Piaf married Théo Sarapo, a singer, actor, and former hairdresser. She and her new husband performed together until her death.
In 1963, at age 47, Piaf died of liver cancer. Piaf’s life style prohibited her from having a funeral mass by the Roman Catholic archbishop of Paris, but tens of thousands of bereaved fans are said to have lined the Paris streets to see her funeral procession and over 100,000 mourners are said to have attended the ceremony at Père Lachaise Cemetery.
Brian Smith, who came to listen to Edith Piaf songs on the recent snowy Sunday, happened to be in Paris immediately after the news of Ms. Piaf’s death came out. He said he will never forget the tangible pall that covered the city. (Smith was passing through Paris from Lucerne, Switzerland to Antwerp, Belgium where he would board a freighter to cross the Atlantic to New York to begin his professional career as an architect; little did he know that he would arrive in the States just as a darker pall enveloped that city after President Kennedy’s assassination.)
Janine Kolb, who is French and grew up in central France at the same time Ms. Piaf’s career was taking off, wasn’t enamored by Edith Piaf when she was young. Now, she loves many of her songs, especially Non Je ne Regrette Rien and Hymne à L’Amour , and boy, can she belt out those tunes.
I first saw Kolb sing Piaf with Ray DeMarco, one of the New Hampshire Seacoast’s best known jazz pianists. We had stopped by the River House Restaurant for a “quick drink” and ended up staying until they tore down and packed up all the gear. With DeMarco’s piano accompanying Kolb—who is petite, just a few inches taller than Piaf and donned a beret and Piaf’s signature dark clothes—we were transported back to mid-20th century Paris. What fun!
DeMarco, who has been playing the piano since he was 9 years old, has been playing in the Portsmouth, New Hampshire area for 30 years. He really enjoys playing Piaf’s music.
“I’m crazy about the French language,” he said, but quickly added, “Her melodies are so rich and beautiful that they are fun to do just instrumentally.”
On this recent Sunday afternoon, DeMarco and Kolb teamed up to do several Piaf songs (as well as a few other pieces).
La Vie en Rose, which is generally translated to mean “Life in Rose-Colored Glasses,” is undoubtedly the song most associated with Piaf and considered by many to be her signature song, especially with the release of the 2007 movie by the same name. Piaf wrote the lyrics in 1944, allegedly inspired by a handsome American man she had seen, and Monnot wrote the melody. Her songwriting team was not keen on the song so Piaf did not sing it until in concert until 1946. It was an immediate hit and is credited with propelling Piaf into the international arena. It received a Grammy Hall of Fame Award 50 years later.
Hymne à l’Amour is another of Piaf’s signature songs written in the late 1940s. Piaf, inspired by her deep love for Cedan, worked with Monnot to write the lyrics. It seems that this song may be the favorite of both Kolb and DeMarco.
Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien, translated “No, I don’t regret anything,” is another of Piaf’s trademark songs. With lyrics by Michel Vaucaire and music composed by Charles Dumont, it was dedicated by Piaf to the French Foreign Legion. In 1956, when the song was first recorded, France was in the midst of what became known as the Algerian War (1954–1962). The Foreign Legion adopted the song in 1961 (when forced to retreat) and it is still sung today when they march in parades.
Quel jour merveilleux! Such a gathering called for a special bottle of wine. We opened a 2001 Château des Fines Roches from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Like Madame Piaf, it was light bodied but rich and emotional in taste. We toasted to this famous French chanteuse who died 50 years ago in her villa in Grasse, on the Cote d’Azur. Apparently, Sarapo drove his deceased wife up to her beloved Paris so that it would appear that she had died in her birthplace, among her most devoted fans. Thus, there is some conflict about whether she died on October 11th or 12th. She is buried, next to her daughter, in Paris’ Père Lachaise Cemetery.
If you are a Piaf fan and in Provence, drop by Les Deux Garcons in Aix-en-Provence where Madame Piaf loved to have an apéritif or stay in the Negresco Hotel in Nice where she often stayed. If you are in Paris, there is the Musée Edith Piaf, the Père Lachaise Cemetery, and her old stomping grounds in her Belleville-Menilmontant neighborhood. For good information about where to go in Paris to follow Edith Piaf’s footsteps, see “The Echoes of Piaf in Paris” by Frederick Turner in The New York Times (1994)
I would welcome another snowy Sunday in New England if I knew we would be singing Edith Piaf songs again.
We are indebted to John and Linda Ellison for recording all of the songs for this post and, of course, to pianist Ray DeMarco and singer Janine Kolb who made the afternoon possible.
* Mon Légionnaire, composed by Raymond Asso with lyrics by Marguerite Monno, was recorded in 1936 by French singer Marie Dubas, but the song is much more associated with Piaf.


Isobel Cooper best known as ‘Izzy’ was still a student at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama when she signed her first record deal with Decca Records in 1999. She recorded her debut album ‘Libera Me’ with the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios.
‘Libera Me’ made No.1 in both the UK and Japanese Classical Charts and led Izzy to be nominated for ‘Best Female Artist’ in the Classical Brit Awards. She pioneered the classics in a fresh and innovative way, working with producer Craig Leon who has also worked with Pavarotti, Andreas Scholl, Joshua Bell, Blondie, The Ramones, Sting and many others.
After the success of ‘Libera Me’ Izzy signed to Virgin’s Venture Label to record her second album ‘Ascolta’. Once again, her album climbed to No.1 and Izzy became an International Star with top 10 albums in Scandinavia and Portugal as well as repeating her No.1 position in the UK and the Far East where she achieved her biggest following performing in live concerts, TV and radio. She was then invited to sing at the Rugby League Cup Final at Twickenham in 2001 to an audience of 78,000.
Her third album ‘New Dawn’ was recorded in 2002, again reaching No.1 in the UK and other foreign territories.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Izzy’s work is her modernization and interpretation of Classic English Folk Music. Her video of ‘My Love is Like a Red Red Rose’ remains one of the most played videos on UK Classic FM TV Radio to this day.
As a result of Izzy’s overall success, her music has now been embraced as a new force in the ‘Healing Music’ market for its spiritual and relaxing qualities.
At this stage of Izzy’s career, she worked with other known artists such as Sir Cliff Richard, Lionel Richie, Charlotte Church, Hayley Westera, Russel Watson, Jemelia, Gareth Gates, Hear Say, Blue, Billie Piper to name a few, and after hearing ‘New Dawn’ Bryan Ferry invited Izzy as his support act for his Stately Homes Tour where she proved to be an immediate success.
The USA released a compilation of the second and third albums entitled ‘Izzy’ and Izzy was invited to perform at the Crystal Cathedral in Los Angeles for a network TV Transmission with a 20 million anticipated audience. She sang several solo numbers and teamed up with U.S Chart Topping Tenor Daniel Rodriguez. Their duet ‘The Prayer’ is also featured on both their albums.
Izzy made her third appearance at the Royal Albert Hall in 2003 when she was part of a special BBC television series ‘Songs of Praise’ hosted by Aled Jones. She also makes regular appearances in the ITV Christmas Eve Specials with other British Classical Artists.
At the beginning of 2004, Izzy performed at the opening ceremony of Expo in Nagoya/Japan. Based on her success she returned the following year, where her voice and music complimented the theme which was based on ‘Arts, Culture and World Peace’.
Over the course of her three album releases, Izzy’s work has been heard by additional millions of listeners as the synch music for many World Wide released feature films and adverts. One of which provided the theme music ‘Wish’ for the worldwide hit video game ‘Rygar’ and the classic aria ‘Una Furtiva Lagrima’ played in the acclaimed film ‘It’s all about love’ featuring Clare Danes and Jaquin Phoenix.
As well as recording albums, Izzy has always had a special love for teaching singing and has had a number of very talented private students over the years.
In 2005, Izzy moved to Spain and opened her first ‘Rock School Academy’ for the younger generation and in 2006 her Rock School joined Izzy in performing for the ‘Moraira Festival’. Following this, Izzy then started to direct and perform in a number of shows on the Costa Blanca including the highly successful ‘Simply Classical’ in 2007 and ‘Viva La Classica’ in 2008. These intimately staged musical events dedicated to Pavarotti, truly celebrated his life in style and created a magical atmosphere which captivated the audience.
In contrast to Izzy’s classical albums, a musical album was launched at the beginning of 2007 entitled ‘Izzy Sings Musicals’. At the same time, Izzy embarked on new adventures touring in new foreign territories and exploring new audiences for her music. Her travels took her to South America, South Africa, Mexico, Hawaii, South East Asia, USA and the Mediterranean. Izzy concluded the year singing as a featured headline guest entertainer on the Maiden Voyage of Cunard’s Queen Victoria.
Due to high demand and live concerts worldwide, in 2010 Izzy gained great inspiration living in Spain and released a Classical guitar/vocal album entitled ‘Cancion’ accompanied by Robin Hill.
In recent years, new horizons have opened for Izzy, she has once again collaborated with Craig Leon for the production of a number of projects including a guest appearance filming in a music project called ‘Quest Beyond the Stars’ filmed by PBS and in association with NASA.
In 2011, Izzy moved back to the United Kingdom and became a proud mother of a beautiful young girl called Sophia April.
Now, Izzy continues to perform and teaches privately in the comfort of her own home. Izzy offers; private tuition, vocal workshops and her ‘Rock School Academy’ to a number of schools in her community, including Musical Theatre and Special Needs Schools.
Izzy’s love of music therapy and the power it holds in healing young children inspires her to want to help and put back into the community. She sings at numerous fund raisers and continues to support the Royal Variety Club of Great Britain.

It was 2006 when Eminem released his song “Stan,” where he describes a crazy, over-the-top fan who ended up taking his own life because he couldn’t get the rapper’s attention. The fan’s name was Stan.
Today, the word “stan” is used on social media to refer to relationships among politicians, entertainers, influencers and their fans. It’s used as a noun and as a verb, and is most common on Twitter and Tumblr. The word even made it to the Oxford dictionary, where it is defined as: an overzealous or obsessive fan of a particular celebrity.

The Doll by Daphne du Maurier
The Doll by Daphne du Maurier
Dame Daphne du Maurier, Lady Browning was born in 1907 in London in 1931 and died in 1989 in Cornwall. She is a famous novelist with such best-sellers as Rebecca, Frenchman’s Creek, The Birds and the novella Don’t Look Now. This story is taken from a collection of short stories written before her famous novels. She was clearly fond of the name Rebecca for the dark-spirited anima-like femme fatale.
I did a recording of Don’t Look Now, which has proved to be my most popular recording on Youtube.
Her father was an actor and theatre manager who was knighted for her services to the arts. Her mother Muriel Beaumont was also an actress. Daphne’s sister Angela was also an author and an actress and her other sister Jeanne who was part of the painter colony in St Ives Cornwall. Daphne and her sister Jeanne look very like their mother in the photographs on the internet. Their cousins were the inspiration for the children in J M Barrie’s Peter Pan. Her great-great-grandmother was mistress of Frederick Augustus, Duke of York and Albany.
She was born when the family were living in a rather grand house on Cumberland Terrace on the eastern side of Regent’s Park in a house that is now a grade I listed building designed by the famous architect John Nash. Her father’s success made this possible.
Daphne du Maurier became more reclusive as she got more famous and spent her time n her beloved Cornwall. As she grew, the family had two houses — one in Hampstead, north London ( a grade II listed building from 1720) and a house in Fowey, Cornwall, where they lived exclusively during the Second World War. She got married to a prominent soldier and had three children, of whom both girls married prominent soldiers.
The Wiki notes that her marriage was somewhat chilly and she herself could be distant from her children. Her husband died in 1965, when she was 34. She moved permanently to Kilmarth, Cornwall. She was made a dame (equivalent of a knight) in 1969 but was very reticent about mentioning it and never made much of it. After she died in 1989, biographers discussed whether she was a lesbian. Her sister Jeanne had a close relationship with another woman. She notes that her father always wanted a son and so she was a tomboy. Her children denied that she was a lesbian. When she died of heart failure aged 81, her body was privately cremated.
In her obituary for du Maurier, Kate Kellaway said: “Du Maurier was mistress of calculated irresolution. She did not want to put her readers’ minds at rest. She wanted her riddles to persist. She wanted the novels to continue to haunt us beyond their endings.”
This story was published in 1937, that is two years after the death of her husband, and one year before the publication of Rebecca. Apparently she was only 21 when she wrote The Doll.

A work of unparalleled candor and splendorous beauty, The Lyrics celebrates the creative life and the musical genius of Paul McCartney through 154 of his most meaningful songs. From his early Liverpool days, through the historic decade of The Beatles, to Wings and his long solo career, The Lyrics pairs the definitive texts of 154 Paul McCartney songs with first-person commentaries on his life and music. Spanning two alphabetically arranged volumes, these commentaries reveal how the songs came to be and the people who inspired them: his devoted parents, Mary and Jim; his songwriting partner, John Lennon; his “Golden Earth Girl,” Linda Eastman; his wife, Nancy McCartney; and even Queen Elizabeth, among many others. Here are the origins of Let It Be, Lovely Rita, Yesterday, and Mull of Kintyre, as well as McCartney’s literary influences, including Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll, and Alan Durband, his high-school English teacher.
With images from McCartney’s personal archives—handwritten texts, paintings, and photographs, hundreds previously unseen—The Lyrics, spanning sixty-four years, becomes the definitive literary and visual record of one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

Shakira, a really exceptional artist and world star, is a truly modest and straight woman adhering to whatever she does or is going to do.
She was born on February 2nd 1977 in Baranquilla, Colombia. Her so-called real name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, and it was already as a young girl of eight years that she was avid for music. In this age she had already begun creating her own songs and lyrics which she presented at home. She then decided to perform them at her friends’ places as well, leading to early successes. People were especially fond of her exceptional dance style and choreographies that she created on her own. From her 13th year of age, her success was not to be stopped any more, as she bewitched all Latin Americans with her performances to her own lyrics. After her great success in Latin America, where she had successfully released her first two albums, she was now chosen to represent her country at the OTI festival in Spain. However, at the time, Shakira was only 15 years old, so she wasn’t allowed to participate. After this deep hit, she decided to drop out of school and produce her albums on her own. Now, the young artist was unstoppable: with only sweet 16 years, she starts her two-year world tour.
She manages to cast a spell on the audience over and over again which is mainly because no other female artist enjoys singing and dancing live in front of their fans. This woman is bursting with professionalism and charm, so it’s easy for her to win her fans’ hearts. Yet this is but one side of this exceptional artist: Shakira is not only a singer but as well ambassadress for the children of her country. During the next three years, she’s going to put more and more effort into her new project to help the poorest of the poor in her home country. This way, she’s going to cause an improvement of both living and educational conditions for her children. She’s also going to support her foundation with more than five million US dollars.
Shakira clearly says she has seen with her own eyes that the situation is dramatically sharpening with more than 40 million children in Latin America without the privilege to be able to go to school. 400,000 children alone die only because there’s no medical attendance, there’s a serious lack of clean water and many more things. It’s simply her actual want to give back something to her country and her children who she loves more than anything else, and so she collects money whenever she can in order to improve her country’s crucial situation. It’s also why the artist makes the effort to create such exceptional projects like the cooperation with car manufacturer Seat, so people donate money for her children in Colombia.
In cooperation with Seat, her main sponsor of her Europe tour, she’s designed and developed a special edition model on basis of the Seat Leon. She really enjoyed the work on it, for she could show her exceptional creative character Shakira helped deciding on the used colours and is responsible for most of the interior’s materials.
The car was named after her foundation which was founded in 1997: “Fundación Pies Descalzos” which in English means something like “Barefoot Foundation”. All income obtained through the auction sale of the car of course go to the Fundación Pies Descalzos. With this foundation, the exceptional artist is supporting homeless children in Colombia. She can be proud of her work, for she has already given thousands of children a new home and supported a better nutrition. It’s admirable as well that she always speaks quite modestly about her excellently done job. She prefers acting instead of talking. Her project also keeps an eye on educational institutions for the homeless children.
Shakira has been nominated as ambassadress for the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund in 2003 and takes her job seriously. Children are the most valuable good on earth, and for Shakira, it’s an inner necessity to improve children’s lives so that they have a right on a happy future. They should be inspired with confidence for a new start into their lives. Shakira has succeeded in 2,600 children now being schooled and cared for in five schools in the cities of Barranquilla, Bogotá and Quibdó.
She says her commitment was especially dedicated to those children not having the aforementioned chances, that is, children living under socially deprived conditions. Those children are the ones needing assistance the most, and with the respective schools and kindergartens, this assistance can be offered.
Through her foundation “ALAS”, she could donate the incredible amount of 40 million dollars in 2007 for the reconstruction of regions in Peru and Nicaragua devastated by a natural disaster.
On December 15th 2007, she received the “Charity Person of the Year” award.

You Are Not Alone..........
Pop star Michael Jackson has died in Los Angeles, aged 50. (1221, 25th June 2009)
Paramedics were called to the singer's home around midday local time on Thursday after he stopped breathing.
He was pronounced dead two hours later after arriving at hospital in full cardiac arrest, said Fred Corral of the LA County Coroner's office.
Speaking on behalf of Jackson's family, his brother, Jermaine, said doctors had tried to resuscitate the star for more than an hour without success.
He added: "The family request that the media please respect our privacy during this tough time."
"And Allah be with you Michael always. I love you."
Jackson, who had a history of health problems, had been due to begin a series of comeback concerts in the UK on 13 July.
Concerns were raised last month when four of the concerts were postponed, but organisers insisted the dates had been moved due to the complexity of staging the show.
A spokeswoman for The Outside Organisation, which was organising the publicity for the shows, said she had no comment at this time.
Broadcaster Paul Gambaccini said: "I always doubted that he would have been able to go through that schedule, those concerts. It seemed to be too much of a demand on the unhealthy body of a 50 year old.
"I'm wondering that, as we find out details of his death, if perhaps the stress of preparing for those dates was a factor in his collapse.
"It was wishful thinking that at this stage of his life he could be MJ again."
Uri Gellar, a close friend of the star, told BBC News it was "very, very sad".
Speaking outside the UCLA medical centre in Los Angeles, civil rights activist Rev Al Sharpton paid tribute to his friend.
"I knew him 35 years. When he had problems he would call me," he said.
"I feel like he was not treated fairly. I hope history will be more kind to him than some of the contemporary media."
Melanie Bromley, west coast bureau chief of Us Weekly magazine, told the BBC the scene in Los Angeles was one of "pandenomium".
"At the moment there is a period of disbelief. There are hundreds of people outside UCLA waiting for news.
"He was buying a home in the Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles and the scene outside the house is one of fans, reporters and TV cameras - it's absolute craziness.
"I feel this is the biggest celebrity story in a long time and has the potential to be the Princess Diana of popular culture."
'You are the un-comparable, the extraordinary, the legend....!!!'
Rickydaskylinez, the real fan of MJ....

By Yudith Madrazo Sosa
Hummed by thousands of people, versioned by numerous singers inside
and outside Cuba, the song Veinte años (Twenty years) stands for a classic among the Cuban music records and was, according to the experts, the one that launched its author, María Teresa Vera, to fame.
The outstanding singer, one of the few female composers and singers of her time, was born in Guanajay, Havana Province, on February 6th, 1895. She was the granddaughter of a couple of slaves and the daughter of a Spanish military official who had decided to reside in the island after the independence war. At a very young age she became known in the bohemian and trova circles, where she met Manuel Corona, a composer and guitar player that urged her to learn how to play this instrument.
A tenacious young woman, María Teresa followed the advice of the composer and started studying guitar with José Díaz, a tobacco manufacturer and guitar master, although she went on studying with Corona himself, who helped her to improve her knowledge.
On March 18, 1911, at the age of 16, she made her first appearance in the public scene at the Theater Politeama Grande, in Havana, along with Rafael Zequeira. What took place there that day marked with a golden seal her artistic debut, since her interpretation of the song Mercedes was so delightful to the audience that they asked her repeat it around sixth times. This fact made the young woman understand she had no other choice than to live for the music.
María Teresa along with Zequeira toured in diverse times to the United States. As the singer once pointed out, the duet soon became very popular inside and outside Cuba thanks to their excellent adjustment to each other and their understanding of the artistic mission they had set themselves to accomplish.
She returned to Havana in 1922 with Manuel Corona. In this city, she was hired by the record company RCA Víctor. Along with Corona and Zequeira, María Teresa recorded 149 songs until the latter died in 1924. During that time she also recorded some pieces with Higinio Rodríguez, with whom she continued to work for many years.
After Zequeira’s death, she performed alone, just accompanied by a guitar player from time to time until she joined Miguelito García, with whom she formed a duet until 1931.
But no only the duets called the singer’s attention. She would also join her voice to others to form quartets and was as well the founder of the Sexteto (Sextet) Occidente, a group composed of very talented musicians with brilliant careers.
Due to personal circumstances, she abandoned the group and a little after she joined the orchestra of Justa García, who had a program in a famous radio station in Havana. In that context, she formed together with Lorenzo Hierrezuelo a very popular duet that lasted twenty five years.
According to their acquaintances, María Teresa and Hierrezuelo identified with each other in such a way and achieved such professional level that they sometimes refuse to rehearse before the presentations. They toured to Mexico and performed in the Mexican night centers with enormous success.
María Teresa’s work in Havana’s radio stations paved the way to the broadcasting of the popular Cuban music. She composed various songs although many people attribute the lyrics to some of her female friends who wrote poetry. Pieces such as Por qué me siento triste, No me sabes querer, Yo quiero que tú sepas and the legendary Veinte años are renowned as the most outstanding of her work.
In 1962, due to serious illness, she decided to retire from scene. Three years later, in December 17th, 1965, relatives, friends and fans would cry her death. The grace and creativity she bestowed to her doing gave the notorious interpreter of the Cuban song the flavor of uniqueness.


With the lost of CD sales Jay-Z negotiated a 360 deal with Michael Rapino and John Malone of Live Nation in 2008; he negotiated for a cash advance of $150 million that would make Live Nation his partner and they would share in all income generating opportunities accessible to the rapper. His negotiation with the concert promotion giant is the largest for any Rap Artist and set Jay-Z up as the fifth richest artist on the Forbes list. The deal calls for Jay-Z to record 3 albums and has a length of 10 years and Jay-Z would be obligated to perform at a series of Live Nation concerts.
In this negotiation Live Nation’s position is that of an investor by offering a large cash advance for the partnership, Jay-Z position is that of someone seeking financing for his recording projects and tours and with this 360 deal he gets what he wants. Live Nation gave Jay-Z the respect he was due and in return Jay-Z did not take a hardline position because of his popularity. The negotiation went smoothly because both parties needed what the other had.
Live Nation’s interests were to secure famous musicians for their series of concerts worldwide as well as Endorsements, Merchandising and ticket sales. Jay-Z’s interests were to start his record label and financing for his recording and touring projects. This helped Live Nation to have a guaranteed roster of performers for its worldwide concert series and Jay-Z has the opportunity to start a label and get the financing he needs for recording and touring.
Throughout this negotiation both parties were able to effectively use the core concepts to achieve an agreement by separating the people from the problem they were able to focus on the deal looking at the partnership and how it would benefit both Live Nation and Jay-Z. Live Nation has set the industry standard and was able to use objective criteria to secure the agreement. They had cut similar deals with U2 and Madonna with great success, which helped to secure the agreement with Jay-Z. By being able to consolidate the different business ventures allowing Jay-Z to do what he does and Live Nation doing what they do best they arrived at a mutual benefit that they were satisfied with.
The negotiation went well because both parties realized that it would be good business to be in business together knowing that each interests matched. What went wrong is that giving 30 million more to Jay-Z than they gave to Madonna might make it harder when they look to sign other artists who might want a bigger fee than what was given to Jay-Z. When you make deals with artists who are popular you run the risk of other artist thinking that they are worth more than the artist you previously signed.
The agreement that Jay-Z and Live Nation agreed to is Live Nation paying Jay-Z $150 million dollars for a 10-year contract, which includes Jay-Z recording 3 albums and performing at Live Nation concerts. Live Nation will finance his new record label, his recordings and touring, in return Live Nation will receive a percentage of all income generated by Jay-Z through the term of their contract.
In this agreement the long term and meaningful relationship will continue for 10 years, so Jay-Z won’t have to worry about how to finance his recording or tours and Live Nation won’t have to worry about reviews or contract negotiations and if the contract is successful I see an opportunity to renegotiate in the future providing both parties are satisfied.


I had the chance to speak with a wonderful actress yesterday. You might not recognize the name Shohreh Aghdashloo, but you'd probably know her by her photo, and definitely by her voice.
She was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her first Hollywood role, in House of Sand and Fog. Most of us know her from her appearance on "24" in 2005, in which she played a terrorist.
Her newest project, The Stoning of Soraya M, is a controversial film, and one that's difficult to watch due to its subject matter. Aghdashloo plays the aunt of a woman, Soraya, whose husband wants to marry a younger woman. Since Soraya won't give him a divorce, he accuses her of adultery, and she is stoned to death by the village.
I spoke with Shohreh by phone yesterday about the film, and the events unfolding in her native country of Iran.

This may seem a bit out of place on my shopping blog but I absolutely love One Direction!
Singer Harry Styles knows how to make a “splash” whether it is through singing or “whale spouting” during a particular song. This week, however, he took his showmanship one step further in wishing everyone an enjoyable Eid Mubarak.
While Styles did not need a translation agency to spread the well-wishes, the sentiment was well received by his fans. He went on, later, to tweet
“Better load up now. Yom Kippur just around the corner.”
Styles is good about staying in touch with fans of One Direction, tweeting frequently about activities and incidents. This brings fans into the fold, making them feel like part of his life and of the workings of One Direction.
Liam, as well, scored points with fans when he mentioned that Tampa is, “hands down” the best crowd. He went on to say,
“Not even halfway through the show and I can early tell.”
Liam had spent a great deal of his childhood in the Tampa area, and says he loves the area.
Finally, some fans were very relieved to discover that Harry’s tattoo of the name “Anne” on his knuckles is done with a sharpie.


As a model, extravagance areas come as a major aspect of the package. Be that as it may, Kelly Brook seemed to benefit as much as possible from any downtime on a late work trek to Malibu The shocking star, 36, was in California because of a shoot and took advantage of the bursting sun.
In the middle of snaps, she raised her face up to appreciate the beams. Instead of the shocking photographs of her last, the previous TV presenter seemed chic in a fresh white shirt attached at the waist
The outfit still benefited as much as possible from her bends, with the shirt flaunting her plentiful resources. Be that as it may, the outing wasn’t all job and no fun – Kelly brought with her sweetheart, Jeremy Paris After she had winded up her work duties, the magnificence took the extra snap – that time a sheltie with her nice looking French lover.
Sharing the picture on Instagram, the admirable star
basically posted: “Malibu.” She placed on a show-halting appearance in somewhat red refined number that clamped her in towards the center, whilst Jeremy looked spruce in the all-dark suit through their Sicily occasion. Kelly is still to authoritatively deny or affirm whether she is locked into the Frenchman later she was detected wearing a jewel ring not long ago.
Nevertheless, Kelly Brook known as the buxom beauty in the UK seemed to reject any coupling bits of gossip in February by dispensing a retro themed welcoming card on Instagram, delineating a lady perusing a sleep time fantasy to her little girl The discourse bubble bear the words:
‘Sometime in the distant past, a man requested that a young lady wed him, the young lady replied “no!” ‘And she remained cheerfully ever later, and went shopping, moving and drinking. She generally had a spotless home, never prepared food and looked remarkable constantly. The end.’


Annable, ‘off to a good start’
Dave Annable attends Plattsburgh State graduation
Published: Friday, May 1, 2009
Updated: Thursday, April 30, 2009 22:04
Behind Communications Department Chair Peter Ensel's desk, there is a framed, autographed picture of a movie star.
In the picture, the man shines with everything Hollywood looks for.
From the ear-to-ear smile and the perfectly gelled hair, to the great looks, the man in the picture embodies the Hollywood persona.
That man is Dave Annable.
Annable, who is the star of the ABC family show "Brothers and Sisters," has also appeared in numerous nationwide commercials.
Apart from that, he played the character of Bean in the Hollywood film "Little Black Book," and in 2007, People magazine ranked him number seven in their annual list of the sexiest men alive.
In 1998, he was a Plattsburgh State student.
Back in those days, he wasn't landing mainstream acting roles.
Instead, he was hosting nearly every TV show Plattsburgh State Television (PSTV) offered, including the shows "Cardinal Sports" and "The Roommate Game." In fact, he was so involved in PSTV that he created his own television show — "Late Night with Dave Annable."
In 2003, however, with one semester left in his college career, Annable dropped out of PSUC and moved to New York City.
Once there, he studied acting at the famous Neighborhood Playhouse.
Since then he has become a celebrity in the entertainment industry.
His current success, though, has not caused Annable to forget about his roots, and this May he will be returning to Plattsburgh to walk across a different sort of stage — a stage dedicated to recognizing academic excellence.
By taking distance-learning classes, Annable has finished his degree and will be returning to PSUC to finally receive his diploma.
At graduation, Annable will be receiving an "off to a good start" award through the alumni office, an award very rare for a student to receive before they have even left the graduation ceremony.
Then again not many PSUC alumni have achieved Hollywood fame.
"There probably isn't a single member of the graduating class of 2009 that wouldn't want to be in his shoes," Ensel said.
For Annable, such an award is a cherry on top of a career that is just getting started.
With current acting roles in his near future, he is living the dream and enjoying every second of it, Annable said.
"It (the success) has been great, and it really lives up to all the hype," Annable said. "I mean, I know Harrison Ford, and that rocks."
Although his return for graduation will be his first trip back to Plattsburgh since his previous departure, Annable said he has never forgotten his times here as a student.
In fact, the work he did with PSTV is something he credits for getting his career up and moving.
"(PSTV) was an amazing experience to have before going into what you would call ‘the real world,'" Annable said via a phone interview. "PSTV rocks."
And Annable rocked PSTV during his time as a student.
Ensel said throughout his college career Annable took the initiative to get involved in basically everything PSTV had to offer.
"I think at some point, he either appeared or hosted every show on PSTV," Ensel said.
Deborah DeSilva, an associate communication teacher, and Annable's adviser throughout his college career, also remembers the die-hard commitment he gave to PSTV while he was a student.
"He was a talent for nearly every PSTV show we had," DeSilva said. "He always wanted to be on camera."
No one back then was complaining, Ensel said, for Annable shined when he was on camera, and most importantly, he had the skills and the talent to succeed in the communications world.
"You could see back then that he had something," Ensel said. "He had that charisma and that on-camera ease. He had the talent."
His first acting coach, Richard Pinter, whom Annable met once he began studying acting in New York City, also could spot this talent.
"He loved being looked at, which is fundamental for an actor," Pinter said.
Furthermore, Pinter was able to recognize that certain something that Ensel had spotted when Annable was a student at PSUC.
"He had something that was his own, and something that he intuitively wanted to do," Pinter said.
Talent, however, was not the only thing Annable had.
Ensel said he had an amazing personality, was an extremely nice, outgoing and affable person, and the fact that he had such a great outlook on life made him easy to work with.
Desilva also remembers that great personality of Annable's, recalling the numerous times in which Annable would come up behind her and place his hands over her eyes to try and trick her into thinking it was another student.
Annable would always give her a good, long hug every single time he saw her, Desilva said.
"Dave had so much personality that no matter what he did he would have been good at it," Desilva said. "He would have been good at selling used cars."


Michael Franti on AdventureLogue
Johanna and I are in Utah this week. We got here Thursday for a Michael Franti and Spearhead concert in Park City. Franti is on his first US tour since releasing a new album and documentary about his 2004 trip to Baghdad, Gaza and the West Bank to attempt to capture the “human cost of war.”
I spent about a half-hour interviewing Franti before his show on Thursday. He told me all about the trip, the music, his politics, and his new project – a film about resolution and forgiveness that will take him to Hiroshima, Ireland, Uganda and other former hotspots around the world.
Check out Adventure Logue here beginning on Monday, when I’ll be posting a series of clips from the interview. Also listen for my story about Michael on Public Radio International’s The World in the coming weeks.

Claire Jones, Britain’s best-selling classical harpist and former Official Harpist to HRH Prince Charles will be playing for us in St James’s Church Bramley on Thursday 13 June 2019.
You would have thought that once you had performed 180 times for the Royal Family, including one-to-one for Her Majesty the Queen, had played for the celebrity guests at Prince William’s wedding and performed in front of 75,000 people in the Millennium Stadium, playing in our little church wouldn’t really be top of your list of priorities. But you would be wrong. We were delighted when Claire Jones contacted us in 2017 to ask if she could come back to perform at the Bramley and Little London Music Festival. She first performed here in 2015 and was keen to come back as she had “thoroughly enjoyed performing for you”. Well, that wasn’t a difficult decision. She had been such a hit last time that we said yes almost immediately.
This time she will be accompanied by her husband, Chris Marshall, who joined her for an impromptu performance back in 2015. Chris is a percussionist and composer who has appeared and recorded with many prestigious orchestras and artists and has performed on numerous productions in London’s West End.
Life since Bramley 2015
Claire has had a busy few years since she last came to Bramley, performing around the world with tours in the USA and concerts in Lisbon, Italy and Canada. She has released several albums including This Love which reached number 1 in the classical music charts. In 2016 she was awarded an honorary Associateship from the Royal Academy of Music in London for her significant contribution to her profession Hopefully she celebrated with a few baubles from jewelry company, Clogau, for whom she is an international ambassador. Nice work if you can get it! Somehow, she has also managed to fit in having a baby, giving birth to her daughter Cadi in February 2017.
With a career like that you would have thought Claire had everything, but when her appointment as Prince Charles’ Royal Harpist still had a year to run she started experiencing extreme pain and fatigue and in 2013 she was diagnosed with the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). Claire says her diagnosis left her shell-shocked: ‘Two years earlier I had played at the Royal Wedding, and had lots of big, exciting projects in the pipeline. I was so excited about the future, but suddenly so scared. I honestly thought I’d never be able to play the harp again. Looking back, I was running at 110mph and I think my body couldn’t keep up. It was telling me to slow down…’ Fortunately, after three months of effectively being house-bound, Claire began to notice improvements and after 18 months ‘felt like a new person’ as we saw when she joined us in 2015. Her album, Journey, was inspired by her fight with ME and topped the classical charts in 2015.
What’s in store for Bramley 2019?
Well, judging from the music Claire and Chris have recorded, it could be anything from Game of Thrones to Pachelbel’s Canon. Claire’s album Screen Serenade included music from Pirates of the Caribbean and Downton Abbey while This Love included well known classical pieces such as Shostakovich’s Romance from The Gadfly as well as Across the Stars from Star Wars Attack of the Clones. Chris meanwhile has worked on many West End productions including We Will Rock You, Wizard of Oz, Carousel, West Side Story, Evita, and Elf the Musical. He has a passion for playing instruments from all around the world so it will be interesting to see what he brings to Bramley. I’m guessing they won’t be coming on the train!


In the recent days, it reported that Meghan is expecting for over three months. Upon its publication, the Duchess of Sussex’s maternity style in the spotlight. The most obvious character of Meghan’s maternity style is modern clothes. As a modern female in the 21st century, Meghan haul the royal family into the new century with feminism and energetic cross-body bags. At the present time, Meghan is facing a special challenge of the new century – incorporating a baby bump into the sleek and streamlined image of the independent-minded woman.
The independent and modern female’s maternity wardrobe will be remarked and debated as much as her white elegant wedding dress. Shortly after becoming a new member of royal family, all spotlights on her are at full beam, brighter than those after one or two years. In the last decade, royal babies born intermittently. It’s said that Kate was wretchedly sick when she was pregnant. But it was totally different from Duchess of Cambridge.
On Monday morning, public excitements were flared by the baby announcement. Though many media publish and report the news about Meghan’s pregnancy, but people are creepier than expected, because they would like to know about interesting news. From the stage, a woman will morph into a mother. Looks of modern maternity wear witnessed a sea change. Traditional pregnant women could wear smocks in spriggy florals and sailor-suit trims, which looks like offcuts left after the decorated nursery. At the same time, the mothers-to-be could be relegated from decision-making, and then their public existences were to be at the edges of her babies.
Modern image of mothers are still normal people now. Birth of stretchy jeans, maternity business suits featuring stretchy side panels, casual and sports clothes, even maternity Spanx for a gala are extremely good news for expecting women.
There is many manners that modern and independent-minded women take to what they put on while pregnant. Some women could hold the identity only after little adapts of their wardrobes. Then stretchy jeans, high-waisted pants and the like clothes could become starred roles in the process of pregnancy. Certainly, some women feel it’s burdensome to maintain their previous grooming and glamour, so they choose to out of the fashion game temporarily.
Official news published on Twitter was in a stolid 19th-century wording of Kensington Palace while the real announcement came in the form of eye-catching photos, in which she carry two purple folders in front of her chest during her visiting in Sydney. It’s rare that royals hold something else except for flowers or clutch bags in such case. In the 21st century, Grace Kelly once exploiting her Hermès bag to hide the fact of her pregnancy. What a beautiful neat trick.
In the list of global famous women, Meghan found a unique way to ford over “bump watch”. In addition, many famous women like Demi Moore, Beyoncé, Kylie Jenner also have their own methods to handle it. Taking good advantages of tailoring, Meghan find some smart manners to conceal privacies.
