Emmy the Great drops her new album tomorrow on Bella Union - the fastest album she says she's ever created. "April /月音" was completed after a trip to to her birth city Hong Kong in 2017. In early 2018, Emmy the Great made "April /月音" in a two-week period in Brooklyn - which was delayed for release until now because of her maternity leave. After recording this album, Emmy moved (for good) back to Hong Kong. Since her original trip to Hong Kong, things have become quite tumultuous there. Said Emmy. "I’ll never know why the city called me back, but I know what it gave me. In return, I want to give it this album. That Mid-Autumn, nobody could have predicted what was to come, neither the atomization that began with the anti-Extradition Law protests in June 2019, nor the struggle for democracy that continues now, through the Covid-19 pandemic. To witness your birth city in its greatest moment of need is a powerful, humbling event, and I know I watched Hong Kong
Daryl wins this round
ReplyDeleteI don't know who Kelly Clarkson is and I didn't see the pre-Bowl, but I want to say that Madonna could not have picked a more outdated song than "Vogue."
ReplyDelete"Music" is a good song, but the stage performance was the same hackneyed circus crap. I'd rather just watch her sing. The Roman Fifth Legion can stay home.
"Like a Prayer" sounded excellent as could be expected, but I really could have down without seeing Nicki Minaj do her chicken rap or any of these other lightweights during the performance.
I don't hate the people, just the things that they do.

ReplyDeleteah, vogue is possibly the one i like the most, so i was cool with that.
Music is a love/hate song. I mean, it is true, but also kinda tacky.
the rest wasn't so bad.... 5/10. I guess.
WHY NOT HUNG UP
