STORIA DEL GRUPPO

PRIMI ANNI

COLLABORAZIONE

Il 30 giugno 1998 i Black Eyed Peas pubblicarono il primo album in studio, Behind the Front. L’album ricevette ottime critiche.

Dall’album furono estratti tre singoli, Fallin’ Up/¿Que Dices?, Joints & Jam e Karma, che riscossero un lieve successo negli Stati Uniti.

La corista Kim Hill in questi brani è sempre in primo piano, anche nei video musicali. Nel 1999 collaborano anche con il cantante Redfoo, producendo Duet.

Just Can’t Get Enough (certificazioni pari a circa 4 milioni di copie) e Don’t Stop The Party (certificazioni pari a 110.000 copie).

Le loro vendite mondiali ammontavano al 2010 a 35 milioni di album e 41 milioni di singoli.

In questo album la corista Kim Hill è poco presente e pochi mesi più tardi abbandonerà il gruppo.

Da cui furono estratti i singoli BEP Empire/Get Original, Weekends (realizzato con Esthero) e Request + Line, che vede invece la partecipazione di Macy Gray.

Nach ersten gemeinsamen Auftritten rund um Los Angeles unterzeichneten die Gründungsmitglieder apl.de.ap, will.i.am und Dante Santiago unter dem Namen Atban Klann (A Tribe Beyond A Nation) ihren ersten Plattenvertrag bei Ruthless Records, dem Plattenlabel des früheren Rappers Eazy-E. Das innerhalb mehrerer Jahre zusammen erarbeitete Studioalbum sollte jedoch nie seinen Weg in die Plattenläden finden; die generell positiven Texte des Trios passten nach Ansicht der Vorsitzenden nicht zum Image von Ruthless Records.

EXECUTIVE EDITOR & DEVOPS

Mit dem Tod von Eazy-E im Sommer erfuhr auch die Besetzung Atban Klanns erstmals einer Wandlung. Santiago verließ die Band und wurde von dem Mexikaner Jaime Gomez (später Taboo) ersetzt; mit der Backgroundsängerin Kim Hill stieß die erste weibliche Interpretin zur Band hinzu, welche sich von nun an The Black Eyed Peas nannte.

THE E.N.D

Entertainment Weekly writer Simon Vozick-Levinson gave the album a very positive review and stated “The Beginning wisely sticks with the heavier electronic beats they began importing from European clubs for The E.N.D. — a key ingredient that transformed the Black Eyed Peas from merely major stars to arguably the biggest chart act going [...] Every song is piled high with sticky pop melodies, slick hip-hop rhythms, bright synth parts

CRITICAL RECEPTION Monica Herrera wrote for Billboard that “the music is expertly produced, but problems arise when Will.i.am claims the same of his wordplay. On the track “Don’t Stop the Party,” he chest-thumps, “Kill you with my lyricals/Call me verbal criminal.” It’s a silly boast for an artist who clearly focuses on beats over rhymes, and is probably better off for it.”[27] Kevin O’Donnell of Spin described the album as “one of the year’s wildest sonic stews” and concluded “Pop’s reigning peddlers of dumb fun are actually starting to sound stylishly avant-garde on their sixth album.” The Guardian’s Caroline Sullivan gave the album 3 out of 5 stars calling it “upscale hippop” and said that “the Black Eyed Peas have created an album similar to 2009’s enormously successful The END, but with more Auto-Tune and less input from the wonderful Fergie.”[20] Rolling Stone reviewer Jon Dolan viewed that the album “largely picks up where The E.N.D. left off” and felt that “they give themselves over more fully than ever to the groove palette of club culture, stirring up electro funk, Euro-trance and classic disco.”[23] John Bush of Allmusic gave the album 2 out of 5 stars, and noted that although David Guetta only appears on one track “his production job for 2009’s “I Gotta Feeling” casts a long shadow on this record of

The party reaches its peak about five minutes into the song, and it is exhilarating.”[9] Other positive reaction came from John Bush, editor from Allmusic who went to say that the song is a “scattered moment of respectability” and chose it as an “AMG Pick”.[5] Gavin Martin wrote for Daily Mirror that “the operatically ambitious ‘Don’t Stop the Party’ gives way to a briefly terrifying interlude that is more or less a declaration of earth-shaking sonic war. This is one of three tracks on The Beginning to be produced by Damien “DJ Ammo” LeRoy, the other two being the lead single “The Time (Dirty Bit)” and “Do It Like This”.[2] The Beginning’s third single was announced on The Black Eyed Peas’ official website on May 9, 2011.[7] Described as a “buzzing, hot club jam”, it features whooshing synths and slap-funk bass grooves. It is the longest track on the album at close to six minutes. [8] The Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am told Spin magazine that he is proud enough of the song that he’d even play it for Jay-Z. “I would go to Jay’s studio and play this be like ‘Boom! Check it out!”, said Will. “Then I go dirty Caribbean on him on the last verse.”

I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself a Christian in the conventional sense of the word, where I go to church or believe in cultural Christianity, but I really do love Christ and recognize him in whatever capacity as I can understand it as God. One of my problems with the church and conventional Christianity is it seems like their focus doesn’t have much to do with the teachings of Christ, but rather with their own social agenda. So that’s why I tend to be sort of outspoken about how much I dislike conventional cultural Christianity.

The song was written by Madonna, Jason Evigan, Evan Bogart, and Sean Douglas, and produced by Madonna, Billboard and Evigan. Madonna had listened to Douglas’ previous works and had requested studio time with him. Together with the other songwriters, they wrote “Ghosttown” in three days. A pop ballad, the song was inspired by the imagery of a destroyed city after armageddon, and how the survivors carry on with their lives, with love being the only thing they can hold onto. An uplifting track, “Ghosttown” features an organ and drums in its instrumentation, with minor vocoder effects on Madonna’s vocals. “Ghosttown” was released to iTunes Store as part of the album’s pre-order in December 2014 The song received positive response from critics, who commended Madonna’s vocal delivery, the lyrics, and Billboard’s production; they also compared it to Madonna’s earlier ballads. In the United States, the song became Madonna’s 36th entry on the Adult Contemporary chart, as well as her 45th number-one song on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart, surpassing country singer George Strait as the artist with most number-one songs on an active Billboard chart. Internationally, “Ghosttown” reached the top twenty position in Hungary and Italy, and the digital charts of Finland and Sweden

hematically, introspection was also listed as one of the foundational themes prevalent in Rebel Heart, with genuine statements of careerist and

personal reflections of Madonna and her “obsessive self-regard”.[12] “Ghosttown” was one of the songs carrying on the subtle messages while talking about unity and religious consciousness. Madonna reverses the concept of “loss of love” with her romantic idealization, according to Matthew Harden from Samesame.com.au, as the lyrics go “When it all falls down, when it all falls down. We’ll be two souls in a ‘Ghosttown’.” Jim Farber from New York Daily News said that the song brings out “the warmest elements of [Madonna’s] voice” and “at times, her alto [range] sounds like Karen Carpenter’s, while the melody has the enveloping calm of hits like ‘Live to Tell’”.

The song’s composition is “uplifting and euphoric” in nature, far-reaching with a number of melodic effects generated by electronic music. A cinematic visualization with the track is accomplished by different chord progressions, making the whole song sound compact.[16] “Ghosttown” begins with sounds of single organ chords and a dusty drum beat.[17] Instead of being a straight-up pop ballad, the composition sounds a little “edgy”, due to the usage of synth percussion and vocoder effects. [18] Chris Rosa from VH1 stated that the song “features tight production and an ear-crashing chorus that is pure pop bliss”, while Elysa Gardner from USA Today described the song as a mixture of “disarmingly earnest sweetness with a stark, chilly arrangement”.[19][20] The chorus appears after 40 seconds in the song, with a distortion filled pause, a thumping beat and a repetitive chord progression.[17] “Ghosttown” is set in the time signature of common time with a moderate tempo of 79 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of D minor, with Madonna’s vocals spanning from F3 to B♭4. The song has a basic sequence of Dm–F–C–Gm during the verses

Thematically, Rebel Heart represents the singer’s romantic and rebellious sides; the ideas grew organically during the writing and recording sessions. Musically, it is a pop record which merges an array of genres such as 1990s house, trap, and reggae, while using acoustic guitars and a gospel choir. Some of the songs are autobiographical in nature, while others talk about love and Madonna’s career. Rebel Heart features guest appearances by boxer Mike Tyson and rappers Nicki Minaj, Nas and Chance the Rapper. THE RECORD HAD BEEN SET FOR A MARCH 2015 RELEASE, WITH THE FIRST SINGLE TO BE RELEASED ON VALENTINE’S DAY. However, after a flurry of unexpected album content leaks, Madonna released Rebel Heart for pre-order on the iTunes Store on December 20, 2014, with six songs made available immediately for download. A police investigation led to an Israeli man being arrested and charged with hacking into Madonna’s computer and leaking the songs. The cover art for the deluxe edition of the album became popular, leading to numerous memes being created on social media. To promote Rebel Heart, Madonna appeared on television and gave several performances. To promote the album further, the Rebel Heart Tour which began in September 2015, and ended in March 2016, visited North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. “Living for

Love”, “Ghosttown”, “Bitch I’m Madonna”, and “Hold Tight” were released as singles from the album.

Rebel Heart received predominantly positive reviews from music critics; multiple reviewers called it Madonna’s best effort in a decade. They found that unlike her two previous studio efforts, Hard Candy (2008) and MDNA (2012), the album’s sound was progressive. Rebel Heart peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart. It reached number one in major music markets such as Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland, while reaching the top ten in France, Ireland, Mexico, Japan, New Zealand, and Sweden, attaining certifications in some of the regions. In March 2014, Madonna began posting a number of images on Insta-

gram hinting at possible songwriters and collaborators with hashtag captions. First she posted about going into the recording studio with Swedish DJ and producer Avicii.[6][10] Record producer Carl Falk spoke with the Dagens Nyheter newspaper in April 2014 about these sessions. He recalled that eleven demos with acoustic guitars and piano were recorded within a week at Henson Recording Studios in Hollywood. Avicii’s manager Arash “Ash” Pour Nouri selected six people. They were divided into two groups, the first consisted of Falk, Rami Yacoub, and Savan Kotecha; the second consisted of Salem Al Fakir, Vincent Pontare, and Magnus Lidehäll. Avicii worked with both groups to create the demo songs, while Madonna arrived at the studio in the afternoon and stayed until 7:00 am. She worked closely with both teams while writing and changing melodies, and was in charge of the process. A FEW DAYS LATER, MADONNA POSTED AN IMAGE OF A SUNSET WITH THE WORDS “REBEL HEART” ON THEM, AND A CAPTION WHICH THE MEDIA INTERPRETED AS LYRICS FROM A NEW SONG. The lines posted were: “Day turns into night. I won’t give up the fight. Don’t want to get to the end of my days... saying I wasn’t amazed.”[12] Additional images showed Madonna with singer Natalia Kills in front of a microphone, and with Martin Kierszenbaum, the founder and chairman of Cherrytree

WHAT IT FEELS LIKE FOR A GIRL SONG RECORDED BY AMERICAN SINGER MADONNA FOR HER EIGHTH STUDIO ALBUM MUSIC (2000). IT WAS RELEASED AS THE THIRD AND FINAL SINGLE FROM THE ALBUM ON APRIL 17, 2001, BY MAVERICK RECORDS.

“WHEN I HEARD RIHANNA WAS LAUNCHING A LINGERIE COLLECTION A LIGHT BULB WENT ON OVER MY HEAD. I THOUGHT, ‘OH I SEE, RIHANNA WANTS ALL THE MONEY IN MY BANK ACCOUNT, NOT JUST A LITTLE!’ The bra is really comfortable! I get to wear my true size 32C and that is amazing. Also, I was able to find nude tones that did not exist before. The bra is just as good if not better than anything I have had. Also I want to support Rihanna! I think that its important to speak with you wallet. Not just social media, or Facebook, but to use your hard-earned dollars to support business. It feels good to support a newcomer who is changing the game.” “WHEN I FIRST HEARD RIH WAS LAUNCHING LINGERIE, MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS GAME CHANGER. If it was going to be anything like Fenty Beauty, I knew for sure that it would be inclusive of everyone. This bra is definitely better than other’s I’ve tried. When I put the bra on, I felt sexy and confident. A lot of lace bras don’t give me the support I need, being that I am plus size and have a fuller bust, but one thing I really liked about the bra was the underwire which provided me with support.” “I’M A 34A SO IT’S DIFFICULT TO FIND A BRA THAT LOOKS GOOD AND FEELS NICE BUT THE SAVAGE X BRA WAS SUPER FLATTERING. Best of both worlds. I was expecting to see super padded bras, lace, and maybe a bit of S&M when I got to the ELLE.com offices. Now, it’s clear that the collection is sexy but tasteful. I’ve never felt confident in lingerie before the day of the shoot.” This bra is definitely better than other’s I’ve tried. When I put the bra on, I felt sexy and confident. A lot of lace bras don’t give me the support I need, being that I am plus size and have a fuller bust, but one thing I really liked about the bra was the that.

“AS SOMEONE WHO RARELY WEARS BRAS, ESPECIALLY NOT UNDERWIRE, I WAS GENUINELY SURPRISED AT HOW COMFORTABLE AND SUPPORTIVE THE BRA WAS! These bras are truly made for the female form and there is no compromising between wanting to look and feel your best. Even the most comfortable of fitting bras have tiny details that make you feel sexy and beautiful. There is no exaggeration here: Rih has done it again!” “When I heard Rihanna was launching a lingerie collection a light bulb went on over my head. I thought, ‘Oh I see, Rihanna wants all the money in my bank account, not just a little!’ THE BRA IS REALLY COMFORTABLE! I get to wear my true size 32C and that is amazing.
