Como una de las músicas más reconocidas de nuestro tiempo, Alicia Keys nos ha cautivado con sus letras sentidas, su extraordinario rango vocal y sus conmovedoras composiciones al piano. Y aun así, lejos de los focos, Alicia se ha enfrentado en privado a un gran pesar por la compleja y desafiante relación con su padre, a esa naturaleza de querer complacer a todo el mundo que caracterizó los comienzos de su carrera, la pérdida de intimidad en cuanto a sus relaciones románticas y las expectaciones oprimentes de la perfección femenina.

How does time shape consciousness and consciousness, time? Do we live in time, or does time live in us? Uncommon Measure explores these questions from the perspective of a young Korean American who dedicated herself to perfecting her art until performance anxiety forced her to give up the dream of becoming a concert solo violinist. Anchoring her story in neuroscience and quantum physics, Natalie Hodges traces her own passage through difficult family dynamics, prejudice, and enormous personal expectations to come to terms with the meaning of a life reimagined.

The Notorious B.I.G. was one of the most charismatic and talented artists of the 1990s. Born Christopher Wallace and raised in Clinton Hill/Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, Biggie lived an almost archetypal rap life. Biggie released his first record, Ready to Die, in 1994, when he was only 22. Less than three years later, he was killed just days before the planned release of his second record Life After Death. Journalist Justin Tinsley’s It Was All a Dream is a fresh, insightful telling of the life beyond the legend.

Ne risulta un aspetto umano pressoché sconosciuto, con risvolti mai narrati precedentemente.

Ho voluto raccontare il mio mondo, le mie emozioni, le mie battaglie, i miei dischi, le mie canzoni, le mie verità e ho voluto farlo nell'unico modo in cui ne sono capace, con spontaneità.

London. Wham! Pop, glitz and glamour. Two girls with stars in their eyes. Our friendship began one windy day in 1982, outside Finsbury Park tube. It was an instant like at first sight. We were on our way to a Wham! rehearsal. Pepsi was the new girl in the band and over a car stereo, a cassette tape and that journey to Bushey we bonded. We had no idea that we were on the first of many journeys together and that soon we'd be travelling all over the world. What we didn't know was that we were saying yes to a lifetime of connection that has endured whatever we've done, wherever we've been.

Con uno stile evocativo che richiama le sonorità del jazz, Flea racconta gli anni che lo hanno formato come artista e come uomo, e attraverso aneddoti esilaranti, meditazioni poetiche e gli imprevedibili cortocircuiti della sua fantasia ripercorre le tappe che lo hanno portato dall'Australia alle periferie di New York per approdare infine a Los Angeles, una città che a cavallo degli anni Settanta e Ottanta è affascinante e al tempo stesso cruda, violenta ma anche inesauribile fonte di ispirazione.
