OBITUARIES:
artwork by Julia Emiliani
RIP Facebook
2004-2018 Well Facebook, it has been really great knowing you and seeing you swell into a massive corporation that is so sadly out of touch with the basic needs of its users. What was once a fresh way to keep in touch with friends new and old has become a mind-control behemoth, systematically restricting access to our own networks unless we pay for it. It’s death’s for the best. Facebook has opted to have its ashes shot into orbit around Earth where they can drift along in like-less obscurity forever. We’re good with it. As long as FB users remember what things were like before they were FB users.

It was the middle of the 90’s and a French Canadian singer from a humble background was about to record her breakthrough album, Falling into You, and take the popworld by storm. That singer of course was Celine Dion. The stars were lining up for Celine, her previous album, The Colour of Love was a commercial success, she also had a hit for Disney’s Beauty and The Beast soundtrack and it looked like the world was ready for a Quebecois pop-star. Celine’s team lead by her husband and manager, Rene Angelil (who discovered her and began working with when she was 12 - creepy right?), had a lot of pressure to put the right team together. The man they choose to oversee the album was legendary 60’s producer Phil Spector, famous for his “Wall of Sound”. On paper the collaboration seemed intriguing. Spector would be emerging from retirement having not produced in 15 years working with a rising talent with an extraordinary voice and one he seemed excited to work with. Things started off well enough with Beach Boy Brian Wilson even visiting the mixing booth. However, this story would not have a happy ending. While Spector is a genius, he certainly is not without faults and definitely not known for compromise. Conflicts of artistic direction derailed the sessions, with Spector allegedly wanting to control everything. After the fallout of the sessions Spector told Entertainment Weekly: "It became apparent that the people around Ms. Dion were more interested in controlling the project and the people who recorded her, than making history”. The two sides entered a legal impasse that went colder than a Canadian winter and the tapes were locked away @meganbachant meganbachant.com in Spector’s vault. But perhaps through time, and through Spectors many legal troubles (he turned out to be a murderer), the Dion-Spector tapes will hit our ears someday soon. alexandria nazar @nazararts
