Có thể nói “Bigcityboi” là một trong những sản phẩm “chất” nhất mà anh chàng rapper “bad boy” Binz từng ra mắt. MV sở hữu kĩ xảo VFX hoành tráng cùng hàng loạt những khung cảnh cực ngầu đậm chất rap/ hip-hop, kèm với đó là những câu rap “chất như nước cất” và phần beat đã tai đến từ “phù thủy âm nhạc” Touliver. TOULIVER x BINZ – “BIGCITYBOI” (Official Music Video) Cách chơi chữ quá tài tình của Binz một lần nữa lại làm fan ngả mũ vì quá thú vị và đầy bất ngờ. Điển hình như việc chàng rapper “bad boy” biến tấu chữ “Lào Cai” thành “nào cai”, lấy ý tưởng từ chính giọng phát âm khác biệt giữa các địa phương, tạo nên âm hưởng và vần điệu ấn tượng. Bên cạnh đó, Binz còn nhắc đến tên nhiều tỉnh/thành phố lớn trong lời rap như: Hà Nội, Cần Thơ, Lào Cai, Hải Phòng, Đà Lạt,… để ăn khớp với tên ca khúc (“city” có nghĩa là thành phố).

Women in Music Dwindled in 2020
Same song, different verse — quite literally, it turns out. On Monday (March 8th), the University of South California’s Annenberg Institute released its latest report on music creator demographics, finding that women still make up meager percentages of artists, songwriters, and producers on music charts and award-nomination slates, marking “no meaningful and sustained increase” in the number of female musicians in the male-governed music-making business in close to a decade. The fourth annual report , conducted by USC ’s Annenberg Inclusion Initiative with funding from Spotify, examined the gender and race of artists, songwriters, producers, and other creators across 900 top songs in the last nine years; across 2012 to 2020, women comprised a total 21.6% of all artists, 12.6% of all songwriters, and 2.6% of all producers. Researchers Stacy Smith, Katherine Pieper, Marc Choueiti, Karla Hernandez, and Kevin Yao parsed data from the Billboard Hot 100 year-end charts and the Grammy … [Read more...] about Women in Music Dwindled in 2020
Juilliard Must Modernize, or It Will Disappear
“Who the hell is Bruce Springsteen?” I thought. Dashing out the stage door of a late-night Broadway show to beat the blundering crowds back in 2019, violin case in hand, I stepped onto the uptown C train for a swift escape out of midtown Manhattan. As I scrolled mindlessly through email, a message caught my attention: My colleague was requesting musicians to record with Bruce Springsteen — later to be disclosed as a live album recording of Western Stars . Not recognizing the all-American legend and turned off by the Jersey shoot location, I asked my spouse if I should waste my time with this gig. Shocked, my husband immediately went into a diatribe on the greatness of “The Boss.” I was shaken at the almost-missed opportunity. I’d been a musician for decades, graduated Juilliard in 2013, and studied works like Paganini’s technically demanding 24 Caprices and Bach Chaconne. But I’d really never heard of Springsteen.
