Su álbum 21 suena a soul con aires pop, tiene toques de gospel, mezclando lo clásico y lo nuevo en un equilibrio perfecto, suena a piano, suena a country y a música del alma.
Bruce Springsteen. You are missing
You are Missing comienza con un chelo fúnebre que acompaña a la voz de lamento de Bruce, es una canción emotiva y triste, que va citando elementos cotidianos a lo largo de toda la canción. Es de esas canciones que se meten en la piel para no salir nunca.
Iggy Pop. I want to go to the beach
Es maravilloso escuchar a un chiflado como Iggy cantar algo con tanta elegancia. De su nuevo álbum, casi todo en francés, Preliminaires. Eso hace un rockstar, mandar al demonio los estereotipos, si quieres jazzear en francés para tu nuevo disco, lo haces y punto, así hayas sido un ícono del Punk hace 40 años.
Imogen Heap. Just for now
Máximo exponente del llamado sonido “breathy”, una forma de expresión más que un lenguaje musical. Imogen Heap inició su carrera en solitario en 1997 influenciada por Kate Bush y Björk.
The Wallflowers. One headlight
En 1996 editan Bringing Down the Horse, que consigue un gran éxito en las emisoras independientes con 6th Avenue Heartache; y a finales de 1996, se edita el single One Headlight el cual consiguió llegar a la cima de las listas de ventas.
Many celebrities will lend their support when they see an injustice,and Johnny Depp is among the most loyal. This weekend, he and Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, plus Dixie Chicks’ Natalie Maines held a fund raiser for the West Memphis Three.
Almost 2,500 people squeezed into the Robinson Center Music Hall in Little Rock, Arkansas to attend ‘Voices for Justice,’ a music and poetry rally held on Saturday to raise money for the legal fees of the three men whom Johnny believes were wrongfully imprisoned, and he’s vowed to assist their defense.
Some back-story, in case you forgot; On May 6 1993 the bodies of three 8-year-old boys, Steven Branch, Christopher Byers and Michael Moore were found bound and naked in a remote creek in West Memphis, Arkansas. All three had been severely beaten and Byers’ skull had been fractured.
The investigation of the crime scene by local police was a feast of incompetence and the three accused; Jason Baldwin, Damien Echols and Jessie Misskelley, Jr. were tried and imprisoned on evidence so badly tainted, even the victims own parents now want them released.
Echols has been sentenced to death, Misskelley Jr. was sentenced to life plus 40 years, and Baldwin received a life sentence.
“It makes me feel good,” Jessie Misskelley, Sr. told reporters at the show. “Johnny doesn’t know him from Adam, and they’re all getting up there saying he’s not guilty. Makes me feel really good.”
DNA tests conducted in 2007 prove that none of the three now in prison could have been at the crime scene. They did, however, prove that one of the victims own family was.
The Arkansas Supreme Court will begin hearing arguments for a new trial of the three men on September 30th. We’ll update you if Johnny’s involved…
