By Clint Black<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cOver 20 million records sold. 22 No. 1 career singles. 31 top ten singles. Nearly two dozen gold and platinum awards. Countless CMA<\/strong> and ACM<\/strong> awards. A Grammy Award<\/strong>. A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame<\/strong>. When it comes to modern music, few artists have had a bigger or more lasting impact than Clint Black<\/strong>. Since bursting onto the country music scene in 1989 with Killin\u2019 Time<\/em> \u2014 the triple-platinum debut that delivered five consecutive No. 1 singles \u2014 Black has built a genre-defining career spanning nearly four decades. Having written the soundtrack of a generation, Clint now puts pen to paper to write, for the first time, the story of the man behind the music. In his memoir, Black shares the unfiltered, extraordinary account of his journey from a kid with a dream on the outskirts of Houston to a country music legend. From his near-death experiences as a young boy, to his decision to drop out of high school to pursue music, to countless years struggling as an unknown young artist, playing at any nightclub or hotel bar that would have him, Black\u2019s path to success had more twists than the Texas two-step. Once fame hit and the stakes got higher, Black didn\u2019t let the pressure of big crowds, big money, or big labels steer him off course. By writing from the heart and sticking to his guns, he built a legacy on his own terms. These values proved to be Black\u2019s north star navigating superstardom, including a difficult lawsuit against his ex-manager Bill Ham<\/strong>; subsequently founding his own record label; recording with heroes such as Jimmy Buffett<\/strong>, Merle Haggard<\/strong>\u00a0and Eric Idle<\/strong>; his whirlwind romance and everlasting marriage with actress Lisa Hartman Black<\/strong>; and most recently, a critical issue with a cervical spine injury, which threatened the very thing that made him a star: His voice. With vivid, deeply personal stories \u2014 all told with Black\u2019s signature charm \u2014 he recounts how his steadfast dedication to his beliefs and his passion for music led him to success after success, and through storm after storm.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Journey\u2019s End: Siouxsie & The Banshees 1987-1996<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Laurence Hedges<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cWith Jon Klein<\/strong> and Martin McCarrick<\/strong> now full-blown members, Siouxsie And The Banshees<\/strong> embark on one of their most creative and ambitious odysseys, culminating in the multidimensional complexities of the 1988 album Peepshow<\/em>. Both lyrically and musically, the Banshees continue to confound expectation with their progressively sophisticated and erudite artistry, yielding the groundbreaking single Peek-A-Boo<\/em> and propelling the Banshees to No. 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks<\/strong> chart. Live, they continue to be a breathtaking entity; the theatricality of their stage shows paralleling the grandiosity of their songs. However, the revolving door of personnel changes again threatens to derail the band, this time in the form of their (mis)management, until Tim Collins<\/strong> starts to unpick and stabilise the Banshees\u2019 shambolic financial affairs. Amplifying the strained relations, the first major rupture between founder members Siouxsie<\/strong> and Steven Severin<\/strong>, while on tour, leads to the Banshees\u2019 hiatus between the end of the Peepshow<\/em> gigs in December 1988 and the release of Kiss Them For Me <\/em>in May 1991, taking them to the top of the Modern Rock Tracks <\/strong>chart for the second time in a noticeable divergence from their volatile chart fortunes in the U.K. Invited to play the inaugural Lollapalooza<\/strong> tour in 1991 alongside bands such as Nine Inch Nails<\/strong>, Jane\u2019s Addiction<\/strong> and Butthole Surfers<\/strong>, the Banshees consolidate their growing popularity in the U.S. and go down a storm! Convening for two more studio albums, Superstition<\/em> (1991) and The Rapture<\/em> (1995), as well as 1992\u2019s Twice Upon A Time: The Singles<\/em> compilation album, the Banshees go to Hollywood, co-writing the song Face To Face<\/em> with Danny Efman<\/strong> for the 1992 Tim Burton<\/strong>\u00a0film Batman Returns<\/em>. With breaks between activities becoming increasingly prolonged, it begs the question: Have Siouxsie And The Banshees<\/strong>, a band that have stayed the course against often insurmountable odds since 1976, finally reached their journey\u2019s end?\u201d<\/p>\n

Vocal Break<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Lauren Elkin<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cFor millennia, women\u2019s raised voices have been heard as unruly, uncivilized, dangerous. Women singing were cast as sirens: mythical creatures who lured sailors to their death. In Vocal Break<\/em>, Lauren Elkin<\/strong> seamlessly blends memoir, feminist manifesto and cultural history to explore a plurality of female singing voices \u2014 and how women have used them to defy convention, genre, capitalism, racism and sexism. Drawing on her own experiences training as a young soprano in the 1990s, Elkin reflects on the way power and identity shape our voices, focusing on the women who most excited her when she was learning to sing. A vocal break refers to the place where the voice shifts from lower to higher registers and this is a book about what kind of meanings, and sounds, can be made there. Immersing readers in an eclectic soundscape, from musicals and pop music to art punk, what follows is a full-throated tour of women\u2019s voices, including \u00c9dith Piaf, Maria Callas, Cyndi Lauper, Kathleen Hanna, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Beyonc\u00e9, FKA Twigs <\/strong>and Billie Eilish. <\/strong>Reflecting on what makes women\u2019s singing so powerful \u2014 to the point where others feel the need to control or manipulate it \u2014 Vocal Break<\/em> is a joyous call to arms, a siren call: Girls to the front: NOW.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Madonna\u2019s Choreography<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Brigitte Gauthier<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cMadonna<\/strong> has achieved pop icon status and has just celebrated 40 years on stage. No one had yet taken a comprehensive and analytical look at the power of her choreographic language. Madonna<\/strong> has turned dance into a weapon of seduction and empowerment.

Madonna has played a leading role and been a pioneer. This book by Brigitte Gauthier<\/strong> is a breakthrough in the history of contemporary dance in the United States, from Martha Graham<\/strong> and the Judson School<\/strong> to hip hop, voguing, street dance, and parkour. Madonna is universal because her art is a clever patchwork of the most cutting-edge and original techniques of the American art scene. She has championed diversity and freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
