This Music May Contain Hope es punk sin tener punk, de lo poco que no contiene. RAYE no tiene miedo. Trae un LP título largo, portada minimalista y teatral, 17 tracks y casi hora y cuarto de duración total. Esto en tiempos de scroll fácil.

Punk.

La Raquel se complica porque puede y quiere, ambas. Pudo hacer un Back to Basics y salir a festis. Este álbum es BSO, jazz, electrónica, soul, balada, funk (Skin & Bones), musical, góspel (Fields) a la vez.

Secuenciado con la misma excelencia con la que está pergueñado y mezclado, tras la intro llegan las pistas más tendentes al teatro musical y su drama. Lo resume I Will Overcome, seguida por una Beware... que sin despegarse de esa escena varía el son al R&B sesentas de tono girl group, una Where Is MY Husband menos directa. Esa transición salta sin brusquedad a The WhatsApp Shakespeare ("He's a cursive kisser") con su teclado vibrátil y fantasmal y su tono contemporáneo que muestra la ambición que desborda el proyecto.

Nightingale es Joss Stone, Amy y Aretha a la vez, divina en su pureza.

"I will be sad and beautiful" dice en Winter Woman, donde el violín, el tono operístico y la voz pitcheada revolotean gráciles. Lo que sirve a Click Clack Symphony, con el maestro Zimmer, de calentamiento, pues este tema ahonda en los aciertos de Winter y es de los mejores del largo. Especialmente bellas son sus notas ascendentes, las palmas adornando el beat y la epicidad.

De single querría Life Boat, un puente con su anterior LP, la cara feliz y synth de Black Mascara en una textura semiartificial donde la voz de RAYE se dulcifica entre versos con gusto a mantra y un subidón luminoso.

Con una honestidad entre lo mundano y lo inocentón en las letras y conseguidísimo en lo musical, a la altura de cualquier Rosalía, el resultado es más que too much: excelencia.

#AnimatedApril Retrospective: The 75th Anniversary of Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland”

By Joan Amenn

If you have never seen this Disney feature length animated film, be warned. It takes visual imagery and cranks it up to eleven on the surreal Weird-o-Meter.  It also features one of the most annoying earworms ever composed for Disney but set in one of the most charming scenes ever adapted from a book to the big screen.

Of course, the 1865 children’s book by Lewis Carroll included some rather nightmarish illustrations by John Tenniel which provided inspiration for Disney’s version. Just to ramp up the nonsense still further, the film takes pieces of the book’s sequel, “Alice Through the Looking Glass” and incorporates it into the narrative. In its initial release in 1951, “Alice” was an abysmal failure but built a following in the 1960’s when viewing certain kinds of films under the influence of certain substances came into vogue.

So, you know what you’re getting into.

Alice, who always reminded me of a somnambulant factory worker punch drunk from their fifth shift in two days from Tenniel’s illustrations, is much perkier and prettier as portrayed by Katheryn Beaumont. It helps a great deal that the genius of Mary Blair and her flair for color is used to smooth over some of Tenniel’s darker depictions of the characters. Indeed, all of the denizens of Wonderland became much more approachable, and the animated film has influenced future live action depictions.

Sadly, the Sherman Brothers did not compose any of the songs for “Alice,” but it did receive an Oscar nomination for Best Score. Musical highlights include the Chesire Cat (Sterling Holloway) humming verses from the poem, “Jabberwocky” and the song “Golden Afternoon” sung by some of the loveliest flowers ever animated. And then there is “A Very Merry Unbirthday to You” sung in the (in)famous Tea Party scene. You either love it or hate it but if you’re the parent of young children you are probably in the latter camp. It does have a way of working on your last nerve.

“Alice” is a reminder of Disney in its prime when taking chances on unconventional animation styles was still an option despite the risks to commercial success. It may not hang together well narratively but Alice’s adventures are memorable as innovative scenes of striking beauty if not downright oddball. You might find yourself reaching for the books to remember what it was like to first meet the Jabberwocky or paint a rose red before the Red Queen shows up.
