i am ASTOUNDED that this is the next book I am writing! my next project, my next öbsession! With appreciation deeper than a well of world-consuming pop autotune: I’ll be writing a 33 1/3 on @cher’s 1998 album, “Believe”. I couldn’t be more thrilled 💙
@333books#cher#believe
been quiet here for so long while i frantically search for a ft job & the irony isn’t lost on me that i read this news while surveying 206+ rejection mails. gutted for the brilliant writers/editors. a stake in the heart of an industry disintegrating before our eyes.
Feeling stupidly compelled to yelll into the ether(!) I have my first piece in @nytimes & even prouder that it’s a profile of @desiremarea a queer South African Sangoma, a story that I care deeply about. We need *every* reason to lean into art that embodies soul/spirit/joy ❤️🔥
a thrill to have myself & my book on South African Popular Music featured on Marc’s brilliant, thoughtful pod! Sometimes it feels very tender to talk about ur writing - which is the design of it all - but we were nice n drunk off process/inspiration here! thx for havin me 💙🇿🇦
♥️RIP Sixto Rodriguez aka Sugar Man ♥️
A legend who lived relatively unknown, but so so loved in South Africa. He only found out much later in life that his popularity in SA rivaled huuuge megastars
i don’t think we will ever hear of a story quite like this again
.@LiorPhillips joins @KyleMeredith to talk about how South Africa's political landscape affects the region’s art, and why she cringes at the term “world music.”
