Selena – Film Review
This biopic about the life and career of Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, a Mexican-American singer who was tragically killed at the age of 23, feels too reverential for its own good. But it has a lot of heart and energy, and a wonderful star-making performance by Jennifer Lopez.
Quote of the Day
“One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few sensible words.”
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
New Music 01/2021 – Fiona Apple, Laura Marling, Róisín Murphy
This is usually the time of the year when I trawl through the Best Albums lists for the previous year; as it turns out some of my big favourites made pretty damn great records.
New Music 12/2020 – A-WA, Grimes, Sufjan Stevens
Another musical trio of Haim sisters (from Israel rather than Los Angeles); a concept album about the goddess of climate crisis; brilliant electronic re-invention.
New Music 10/2020 – Lykke Li, Michael Kiwanuka, SOAK
