One of the greatest gifts an artist can be provided with, it is resilience; that gut belief in yourself and in your talent, belief in what solace and motivations music give to said artist every day and to firmly believe that those liberating feelings can be projected to the fans through the power of music.
Someone that has never lacked in resilience and belief in her own, enormous talents, is the American Powerhouse singer-songwriter Sari Schorr, an artist that since the very beginning of her career, back in 2016 and through the debut album aptly called A Force Of Nature, enchanted the world thanks to inspired songwriting, an incredibly strong and soulful singing voice and Schorr's extraordinary ability to blend Blues, Rock and R&B with such inner ease, on and off the stage.
It is sometimes underrated how much does a producer and/or an engineer contribute to add value to successful records reaching global success. The three decades between the 80's and the 00's, especially, would have not been the same without the vital work of producers and engineers like Rick Rubin, Trevor Horn, Daniel Lanois, Mutt Lange, Flood, Bob Clearmountain and the list could go on and on.
Among this illustrious list of producers and engineers that have done so much invaluable ground work for the music industry, sits very deservedly the British record producer and engineer Tim Palmer. In a four-decades plus of career span, Palmer has worked and still does with the cream of the music industry, with an all-star list of artists he has worked with so far which includes Pearl Jam, Robert Plant, U2, Tin Machine, Tears For Fears, Ozzy Osbourne, The Psychedelic Furs, House Of Love, Porcupine Tree, Goo Goo Dolls, The Cure and many more.
It's often incredible to believe how much healing power an artform like music has. It provides determination, willpower, comfort and shelter to those individuals going through severe health problems of any thinkable nature even in the hardest of times, helping them so much on a conscious and unconscious level.
For a musician, especially, to get music taken away from them against their will, when health problems arise, is a massive blow, as one would expect. But someone like Ryan McGarvey, one of the most talented and loved Blues/Rock guitarists and singer/songwriters of this generation, he did not let health adversities to take music away from him and kept on fighting for almost seven years until regaining again, thankfully, full use of half of his body, allowing the American ace guitarist to start playing again and, most importantly, starting working on writing and recording new material from his own base camp in Albuquerque.
There's no doubt that the 80's, as a decade, has been a very prolific one, musically speaking, in terms of revealing an incredible amount of talented Pop artists to the world.
It's also true that some of them might have been a one hit wonder only or not lasting very long for reasons, perhaps, related to either creativity drainage, or simply because they had not been able to move forward, stylistically and lyrically in the next decades.
E' un momento particolarmente speciale nella carriera artistica di uno tra i piu' ispirati e celebrati cantautori italiani, Andrea Chimenti.
In un anno come il 2026 che celebra il quarantennale della carriera di un'artista a tutto tondo come Chimenti, il cantante, compositore, scrittore e nei ritagli di tempo, anche pittore, ha recentemente dato alle stampe la sua prima raccolta di canzoni, intitolata Del Mio Cuore In Fondo - Collection Vol. 1, in uscita contemporanea con un nuovo libro di racconti, chiamato Senza Fermata.
