Broken Hearts Requiem
Tonight is the launch of Phoebe Collings-James' 'Broken Hearts Requiem' @ The M.E.N Gallery on Redchuch street, Shoreditch.
"Broken Hearts Requiem is a 16 screen video installation displaying an
ode to the lonely. It is a look at the ways in which humans
communicate sorrow in public and private and how emotions are
universally translated into songs for everyone to attach their woes to.
The piece takes its direction from the sorrowful act of wailing which led
the artist to youtube where she probed into public, commercial and
ritualistic displays of this act.
The love song recited by both men and women, but most frequently
howled by the female has a poignant role when it comes to public and
commercial wailing. It asks and often expects the audience to be able
to tap into their own memory bank of past love. Pulling on the listener’s
heartstrings, the pitch and melody resonate in a very basic and
immediate way.
What is it to perform emotion? It is almost like a re-enactment, in many
religions preaching and repetitive chanting are used as a way to drive
people into an almost ecstatic state of wailing, whipping congregations
into an emotional frenzy. Similar scenes can be witnessed at a concert
with both singer and their “congregation” in a heightened state of
emotion led by the lyrics over melodical weeping and screaming of
empathy.
As with all of her work, Collings-James does not attempt to condemn or
point fingers as to what is or isn’t a valid form of communication. She is
interested in what both the viewer and performer get out of a process
that seems almost cathartic at times. To sing a broken heart might help
towards mending it?
The exhibition itself will be an experience. As you enter the darkened,
enclosed space, the 16 faces of prominent female singers will slowly be
revealed building to a crescendo of sound, and floor to ceiling visuals
that will leave the viewer overwhelmed and the passer by fascinated."
Opening times:
Tonight 6-11pm
25th-31st March 12-8pm
Go & have a look!

Frank Ocean (Nostalgia/ULTRA) The Weeknd (House Of Balloons)
I assume you lot know about the OFWGKTA movement, with Tyler being the front man and the centre of attention at the moment. However in the OddFuture ranks there's a R'n'b singer who goes by the name of Frank Ocean, who has recently dropped his mixtape Nostalgia/Ultra. I've had a listen and its solid, with one of my favourite's being "Swim Good." Download this!
Also you've got the Weekend. I've heard of them for a while now, the duo hail from Toronto and seem to take some inspiration from 40's ghostly production and match it with their interesting style of singing. A lot of tunes about chicks, drink, glass table girls and pills. Its a pretty dark rnb tape, but i'm digging it.
In fact both tapes are a bit grey, fuck with em.

Mickey Factz - Fallin Feat James Blake
I'm not the biggest Mickey fan, but this is impressive. Its from his upcoming project, 3 little digs. He rides James Blake's ghostly instrumentation with ease and does it more than justice.

Stussy Stuff
A simple look book from Stussy Seoul shot to a chilled out sound track will keep entertained for about 90 seconds and then you can have a gander at Big Sean in the Toronto store sporting that Stussy X Bape jacket (which I wanted but the cheese wasnt right at the time) having little chat about his music and where he stands in rap.

Anyways grab this new PAC DIV and play it.

The Curious Case of Richard Cowie
Its no mystery that Wiley's a bit of a nut nut, I like to consider him as the mad professor of Grime...creative genius but a loose cannon, following him on twitter is fucking essential to catch the random outbursts, music leaks & spontaneous hype with other artists.
Yesterday he had a barmy with Labrinth after a 'smug' tweet about going to watch the X Factor tour & later dropped the above video 'im not a hater' on youtube, this morning we got a sleepy eyed rendition of 'Just woke up' he had his daughters dancing to a beat JME made for them & also a self made advert for a new mp3 release which is basically just Wil jumping around like a kid with ADHD turning the lights on & off....golden.
Wiley, we salute you!
To be continued (i'm sure)
