John Legend On How Music Can Be 'Therapeutic' During Times Of Healing For Veterans

John Legend on Zoom, he was calm and serene yet firm and still – exactly how you’d expect him to be, but in the best way possible. From the critically acclaimed vibes of his 2004 Get Lifted studio album to his most recent JID collaboration on “Dope,” Legend has been known and praised for leaving it all on the track, which made me more excited to speak with him one-on-one about what was going on in his mind.“It’s been quite a few weeks, but I’m happy at home and my family’s well,” Legend said honestly after I wished his mental health well.

Only 13 per cent of UK festival headliners are female, study finds

BBC Radio 1’s Newsbeat‘s key finding equates to only one in 10 headliners at leading 2022 UK music festivals being women, despite many events promising five years ago to achieve a ’50/50′ gender balance across their line-ups by this year.The new study focused on 50 of the biggest festivals, taken from a YouGov survey.Out of 200 headline acts it found that 26 (13 per cent) were an all-female band or a solo artist; 149 (74.5 per cent) were either an all-male band or a solo artist; 24 (12 per cent) had a mixed line-up of male and female performers, and one (0.05 per cent) artist identified as non-binary.In 2017, two projects were launched with the aim of securing more female and female-identifying acts on stages. Festival Republic’s ReBalance and PRS’ KeyChange followed a previous BBC study that found that approximately 80 per cent of headliners were all-male.US singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers told Newsbeat in response to the new data: “It feels awful.“The music industry has been largely run and dominated by males since the beginning of time,” she said.

‘Moonage Daydream’ Review: Brett Morgen Beams You To Planet David Bowie In A Musical Space Extravaganza [Cannes]

The great majority of us could only aspire, before “Moonage Daydream,” to step into the mind of David Bowie — the persona, the artist, the entity not yet proven terrestrial. Eclectic, unashamedly maximalist, and variously philosophical: all true of both the man himself and Brett Morgen’s feature-length docu-odyssey, which borrows its title from the 1976 hit, and just debuted as part of Cannes’ Midnight slate.

James Cameron opted for the “Avatar” ad infinitum approach, with biennial instalments scheduled to run for the next decade (“Avatar 2” premieres in December this year; “Avatar 5” comes out December 2028), but the reigning champs of Blockbuster, Joe and Anthony Russo, took a different tack.
