In the late 1800s konstnärskolonier was created many immortal works of art. For scandinavian artists, it was an inspiring get-togethers in Skagen and Grez-sur-Loing, which meant the most to the most.

the Rabble Rouser/Border
Folksångarsystrarna Rachel and Becky Unthank have perhaps not stopped making the regular album, but in pace with the success of their group has the ambition level has been increased and the release glesnat. Instead they find on the sidsprång in ever-closer succession. ”Lines” is a box with three småskivor, in length between the ep and the lp. A of songs about a tragedy in the Hull when the three fishing trawlers sank. One is based on texts from the first world war. A third tonsätter Emily Brontë – the author’s own 1800-talspiano.

38 magnificent minutes: Merely. 4. Disc. Merely: ”Hatching the egg”
YEAR0001

Inspired by Vangelis, John Maus and Marie Fredriksson, she has created an album that is so epic and utomjordsligt that it is not similar to anything else, not really, nor her previous solo album, or the trio by the name of Team Rockit, which she included in. Merelys voice is more ethereal than ever before, the lyrics more full of mysticism, and the music is more fabulous. ”Hatching the egg” is only 38 minutes long but it’s 38 minutes that changes the listener.
Heartbreaking testimonies: the Documentary ”Surviving the R Kelly”. Photo: Francis Specker/Alamy 5. Documentary. ”Surviving the R Kelly”
SVT Play
First, I am skeptical – the documentary that accuses one of the world’s most famous R&B artists for the sexual and mental abuse is just as braskigt american as the title: ”Surviving the R Kelly”. But for every woman who sits in front of the camera and tell grows increasingly more horrific and coherent picture developed of a man raping, torturing and starving young women. It is absolutely heartbreaking to see how parents are trying to get in contact with the daughters, who disappeared into his ”cult”, of fraternal defended by producers and bodyguards. After the series aired in the USA in January began the police of an investigation into R Kelly. Read more here.
