Donna Summer fans might wish for a more comprehensive documentary bio than HBO’s Love to Love You, Donna Summer (★★★★★), but it’s hard to imagine a more intimate portrait of the woman, artist, mother, and hit-making Queen of Disco than this fascinating music-filled odyssey.Co-directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Roger Ross Williams and actress-director Brooklyn Sudano, the middle of Summer’s three daughters, Love to Love You is framed as the family’s attempt to, as Brooklyn puts it, “figure out the many pieces of who Mom really was.”Summer, who succumbed to lung cancer in May 2012, provides the filmmakers key pieces to the puzzle by way of her songs and performances, recorded interviews, and footage she shot herself with her treasured Sony movie camera.At the height of her ’70s fame as pop’s First Lady of Love, Summer bought the camera because she loved making movies — and to entertain herself and the crew while on tour, according to her sister Mary Ellen, who sang backup. The video skits and home movies reveal the singer to be an unapologetic goofball, far from the gyrating diva of so-called Sex Rock that her label Casablanca Records was selling.Sex siren was merely a role she played, Summer explains in an interview voiceover.

Beyoncé‘s concert last night (May 18).Thousands of fans descended on the Welsh capital’s Principality Stadium on Wednesday for the music icon’s first UK date of her ‘Renaissance’ world tour.Ahead of the show, South Wales police said the facial recognition technology would be used in Cardiff city centre, but not at the stadium itself, to help identify people wanted for “priority offences” (via The BBC).They added that it would be used “to support policing in the identification of persons wanted for priority offences… to support law enforcement… and to ensure the safeguarding of children and vulnerable persons”.“Facial Recognition is not a condition of entry and it will not be on the stadium footprint,” a spokesperson said.However, the technology has been criticised by human rights campaigners due to concern about racial bias.South Wales Police added that the biometric data won’t be stored of anyone who is not on a watch list, and is instead immediately deleted.The same technology was used at the King’s Coronation where campaigners expressed similar human rights concerns.Daragh Murray, a senior lecturer of law at Queen Mary University in London, told The Guardian that he found it “very hard to believe that it could be useful at a concert, or at a rugby match”.“But given the really significant interference with human rights, I think it’s up to the police to provide a really compelling argument as to why it’s necessary.”The UK leg of Beyoncé’s world tour continues this week in Edinburgh (20), followed by Sunderland (23).

I’m here for it and I’m so grateful to be honoured in this way.”A friend of the Ivors Academy, Kamille was enthused by the variety of music celebrated by the awards.
