\"\"Remember The Times: A Memoir<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Teddy Riley & Jake Brown<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cSince the early \u201980s, Teddy Riley<\/strong> has revolutionized the music industry, from his creation of New Jack Swing<\/strong> to the music he crafted for Michael Jackson<\/strong>, Snoop Dogg<\/strong>, Pharrell<\/strong>\u00a0and more. His profound influence still resonates today, and he has been inducted into the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame<\/strong>, awarded the Soul Train Legend Award<\/strong> and earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame<\/strong>. Now, Riley \u2014 with his coauthor, award-winning biographer Jake Brown <\/strong>\u2014 lifts the curtain on his fascinating and inspiring journey with this unforgettable memoir of talent, resilience, collaboration, betrayal, and creativity. With heart and humor, Riley reflects on his beginnings as musical prodigy growing up in Harlem and the highs and lows of working with some of the biggest names in the industry. From masterminding his own acclaimed groups like Guy<\/strong> and Blackstreet<\/strong>, to producing groundbreaking hits such as Bobby Brown<\/strong>\u2019s My Prerogative<\/em> and writing and producing with legends like Whitney Houston<\/strong>, Mary J. Blige<\/strong>, Lady Gaga<\/strong>, and others, Riley takes us on a remarkable journey that parallels the explosion of new genres and Black influence in the contemporary music landscape. Remember The Times<\/em> also candidly illustrates the evolution of popular music through the \u201980s to today, taking us behind the scenes directly from the man who grew to define the sound and reinvigorate contemporary R&B and hip-hop.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s No Wonder: The Life And Times Of Motown\u2019s Legendary Songwriter Sylvia Moy<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Dr. Margena A. Christian<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cImagine a world without the music of Stevie Wonder<\/strong>. A world without hits like I Was Made to Love Her<\/em> and Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day<\/em>. That\u2019s the world we would live in had it not been for Sylvia Moy<\/strong>, a woman whose legacy has been carefully tucked away within the annals of music history \u2014 until now. It\u2019s No Wonder<\/em> examines the groundbreaking career of the pioneer who battled sexism and broke down barriers to become Motown<\/strong>\u2019s first female in-house songwriter and producer. As the lone woman in a room full of men, the odds were stacked against Moy from the start. Amidst racial strife at the height of the Civil Rights Movement<\/strong>, most African American women who were allowed into the music industry could only dream of a career as a singer. Nevertheless, the Detroit native found unprecedented success as both a songwriter and producer. In addition to single-handedly saving Wonder\u2019s early career at Motown<\/strong>, Moy solidified herself as one of the label\u2019s most prolific composers, penning many of Wonder\u2019s classic hits \u2014 including My Cherie Amour<\/em> and Uptight (Everything\u2019s Alright<\/em>) as well as songs for other Motown acts like Honey Chile, It Takes Two, This Old Heart Of Mine (Is Weak For You), My Baby Loves Me, (We\u2019ve Got) Honey Love, Forget Me Not, With A Child\u2019s Heart<\/em> and countless others. Meticulously researched and fiercely feminist, It\u2019s No Wonder<\/em> is a historical corrective that restores Sylvia Moy to her rightful place at the forefront of music history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Erik Satie: A Parisian Composer & His World<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Caroline Potter<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cErik Satie<\/strong>\u2018s music appeals to wide audiences and has influenced both experimental artists and pop musicians. Little about Satie was conventional, and he resists classification under easy headings such as \u201cclassical music.\u201d Instead of pursuing the path of a professional composer, Satie initially earned a living as a caf\u00e9 pianist and moved in bohemian circles which prized satire, popular culture and experiment. Small wonder that his music is fundamentally new in conception. It is music which is not always designed to be listened to attentively: Music which can be machine-like but is to be played by humans. For Satie, music was part of a wider concept of artistic creation, as evidenced by his collaborations with leading avant-garde artists and in works which cross traditional genre boundaries such as his texted piano pieces. Paris was the artistic centre of Europe, and Satie was a notorious figure whose music and ideas are inextricably linked with the City of Light. This book situates Satie\u2019s work within the context and sonic environment of contemporary Paris. It shows that the influence of street music, musicians and poets interested in new technology, contemporary innovations and radical politics are all crucial to an understanding of Satie. Music from the ever-popular Gymnop\u00e9dies<\/em> to newly discovered works are discussed, and an online supplement features rare pieces recorded especially for the book.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clowns In The Burying Ground: The Grateful Dead, Literature, And The Limits of Philosophy<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Christopher K. Coffman<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cIn Clowns In The Burying Ground<\/em>, Christopher K. Coffman<\/strong> presents intertextual readings of the Grateful Dead<\/strong> and their lyrics to argue that the band\u2019s lyricists were deeply and significantly engaged with the literary tradition. Through an analysis of their music, lyrics, and biographies, Coffman shows how the group and its individual members drew on the canons of European and American literature to shape both the form and content of their creative work. Coffman draws on the language of the \u201cliterary fragment,\u201d as conceived by German Romantic<\/strong> philosophers and their intellectual heirs, to identify how the Grateful Dead<\/strong>\u2018s lyricists employed intertextuality, allusion, and other strategies to explore how meaning takes shape at the boundary between poetry and philosophy. From Shakespeare<\/strong> to Shakedown Street<\/em>, Clowns In The Burying Ground<\/em> demonstrates the Dead\u2019s literary depth and how their most successful lyrics and performances walk the line between creation and chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n

Embracing the do-it-yourself ethos of the scene, Chris set out to make it happen, networking and forging relationships with local bands.

Blitz: The Club That Created The \u201980s<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Robert Elms<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cThe short-lived Blitz<\/strong> club in London\u2019s Covent Garden<\/strong> was more than somewhere to hang out or be seen: It was a catalyst for cultural explosion, a counter-culture blast against everything Thatcher\u2019s leadership had ushered in by the dawn of the \u201980s. Tuesday nights boasted a ferocious, fearless cast \u2014 from Boy George<\/strong>, Spandau Ballet<\/strong>, Grayson Perry<\/strong> and Peter Doig<\/strong>\u00a0to Michele Clapton<\/strong>, Sade<\/strong> and John Galliano<\/strong>. This was the vanguard of a different England; socially liberal, loud, proud and diverse, fiercely individualistic and determined to succeed. Britain was black and white; the Blitz<\/strong> Kids switched on the colour. In Blitz<\/em>, Robert Elms<\/strong> reflects on a club night founded by working-class kids, one whose impact reverberated beyond its doors, through the worlds of art, literature, fashion and music, and into the present day.\u201d<\/p>\n
