LITTLE RICHARD DISAPPEARANCE

A GIANT OF ROCK'N ROCK

A near Chuck Berry in 2017, is another giant rock n'roll origins, Little Richard, who has just died at the age of 87. Known for his flamboyant style, his electrifying performances and his expressive voice, he was the author of many classics of the genre such as Tutti Frutti, Lucille or Long Tall Sally.

Pianist and singer, Little Richard - real name Richard Wayne Pennimann - helped lay the foundations of rock'n'roll, like other black artists such as Fats Domino or Bo Diddley, before putting his career down on the back burner from the end of the 50s to turn to gospel singing.

It was only years later, driven by the admiration of young English bands from the 60s - Beatles in mind - that he returned to rock n'roll, reaching a new audience.

Little Richard has also, through his outrageous stage play and his extravagant outfits, influenced the greatest performers of the genre, from Mick Jagger to David Bowie.

ANDREA BOCELLI AT CELEBRATED EASTER

IN A PLANETARY UNION

“ Pray, in the house of God and on the day of the main Christian celebration, so that we can overcome this dramatic period as soon as possible and leave with a new consciousness to arrive at a new way of taking care of our neighbor and of the planet, "said the Italian tenor, who gave a concert on Sunday April 12 inside the completely empty Duomo of Milan for Easter.

The voice of Andrea Bocelli resounded inside the completely empty Duomo of Milan like "a prayer" in front of the coronavirus on the occasion of Easter.

The tenor sang several tunes of sacred music, notably the Ave Maria by Charles Gounod or the Santa Maria by Pietro Mascagni, before concluding with the Christian hymn Amazing Grace by John Newton.

“This feeling of being alone at the same time, as we all are, in the presence of the Most High and yet of expressing the voice of prayer with millions of voices, deeply struck and moved me.

Love is a gift. Circulating it is the primary goal of life itself, “shared the singer at the end of his recital.

The Italian tenor's concert was streamed on Youtube.

CONFINES, LISTEN TO THE NEW ALBUM BY

DUA LIPA

When the release of his new album Future Nostalgia was initially scheduled for April 3, Dua Lipa recently announced that it would be released today, Friday March 27.

The album was brought up due to a leak that brought tears to Dua Lipa even if the artist has hugely "teased" this release in recent months, gradually revealing certain clips like that of "Don 't Start Now'.

Since the success of "One Kiss" in 2017, in collaboration with Calvin Harris, the young singer has established herself as an essential icon of pop music today.

Almost 25 years old, the Briton of Kosovar origin is already collecting a fine list of achievements with three Brit Awards and two Grammys. Dua Lipa is an author, singer and model.

With Future Nostalgia, she signs one of the best pop albums of recent years.

The opus begins very strongly with the title:

"Future Nostalgia" a feminist hymn in which the singer pays homage to the women who preceded her and ends with the song Boys Will Be Boys, in which she castigates in this post-MeToo period the "bad behavior" of boys.

And at the center of this album: the couple whether it is physical love ("Good in Bed"), passion ("Love Again") or breakup.

Dua Lipa's feminist commitment goes beyond the framework of her songs.

It has proven this repeatedly, through public statements.

Dua Lipa is expected to go on tour after the global health crisis has passed.
