Crazy Rich Asians meets Gossip Girl by way of Jenny Han in this
knock-out sequel, about a Korean American teen who is thrust into
the competitive, technicolor world of K-pop, from Jessica Jung,
K-pop legend and former lead singer of one of the most influential
K-pop girl groups of all time, Girls Generation. Couture gowns,
press parties, international travel. Rachel Kim is at the top of
her game. Girls Forever is now the number-one K-pop group in the
world, and her fame skyrockets after her viral airport styling
attracts the attention of fashion's biggest names. Her life's a
swirl of technicolour glamour and adoring fans. Rachel can't
imagine shining any brighter. The only thing that's missing is
love-but Rachel's determined to follow the rules. In her world,
falling in love can cost you everything. Enter Alex. When Rachel
literally falls head over designer heels into his lap on a crowded
metro, she's tempted to give up her anti-love vows. Alex is more
than just heart-stopping dimples and adorably quirky banter. He
believes in Rachel's future-both in music and in fashion. But the
higher you rise, the harder you fall. And when a shocking act of
betrayal shatters her world, Rachel must finally listen to her
heart.

A stunning social history of British rap and grime - from the
artists and communities who created and were shaped by the music,
to the listeners who found a sense of identity and home within it -
by one of the nation's foremost cultural chroniclers. 'A landmark
work that will undoubtedly shape conversations about not just UK
rap and grime, but British music for years to come.' YOMI ADEGOKE,
author of The List 'The book I've been waiting to read . . .
illuminating and intimate. Ekpoudom's prose is rhythmic and deft
but also crackles with joy. I know I'll be reading it for years to
come.' CALEB AZUMAH NELSON, author of Small Worlds *** I met people
who never quite fit in where they were supposed to, who found
solace, salvation and meaning in these sounds, these words.
Something is happening in Britain, trembling the tracks as it
unfolds. Recent years have borne witness to underground genres
leaking out from the inner cities, going on to become some of the
most popular music in the nation. In this groundbreaking social
history, journalist Aniefiok Ekpoudom travels the country to paint
a compelling portrait of the dawn, boom and subsequent blossoming
of UK rap and grime. Taking us from the heart of south London to
the West Midlands and South Wales, he explores how a history of
migration and an enduring spirit of resistance have shaped the
current realities of these linked communities and the music they
produce. These sounds have become vessels for the marginalised,
carrying Black and working-class stories into the light. Vividly
depicted and compassionately told, Where We Come From weaves
together intimate stories of resilience, courage and loss, as well
as a shared music culture that gave refuge and purpose to those in
search of belonging. Ekpoudom offers a rich chronicle of rap,
identity, place and, above all, the social and human condition in
modern Britain. *** 'A rousing, inspiring, often breathtaking
history that reads with the flow of a magnificent novel. Ekpoudom
is one of the very finest chroniclers of black British culture.'
MUSA OKWONGA 'Essential . . . a book from the nation's frontline,
where poverty and hardship and exclusion meet poetry and beauty and
a higher voice. The writing achieves a lyrical, hypnotic power all
of its own.' SAM KNIGHT, author of The Premonitions Bureau
In Search of Real Music gives a new perspective on the history of
classical music from 1600 to 2000 AD. Written for anyone who enjoys
classical music and wants to know more about how it developed, it
presents a profile of the music produced in each 50-year period,
with additional sections describing the progress of musical
instruments, the orchestra, publishing and recording, and the
buildings designed for operas and concerts. This book sets out the
recollections and research of one amateur listener. As a schoolboy,
Clive Bate played the violin in the National Youth Orchestra under
Walter Susskind and Hugo Rignold. Later he played in Bryan
Fairfax's Polyphonia for the celebrated first performance of
Havergal Brian's Gothic Symphony. Although he became immersed in a
career in I.T. and management consultancy, music remained his
principal interest. With retirement he turned his attention to
writing this concise history. It is neither an encyclopedia nor a
set of biographies, but explores the crucial events, traditions and
changes that shaped the course of the art form that is one of
Europe's greatest contributions to civilization. In Search of Real
Music will allow you to make connections between strands of history
that are rarely brought together, and thus enrich your
understanding of the music you love.

This is the statistical story of almost twenty years in the late
twentieth century of solid gig-going; a life spent listening and
interacting to live music, the story made human by anecdotes
arising from the gigs. This epoch includes the most thrilling of
musical times, the post-punk era of 1978 to mid 1980s - a period of
energy, adventure, originality and innovation, coupled with a
growing political/social awareness. The protagonist, however, did
so much more besides during these near twenty years, and brief
snippets of other events in his life are inserted accordingly. 2011
finds him still happily pursuing this path through life!

great play-along tracks. With this book, you won't just learn to

oversimplify a familiar song, rendering it hard on the ears.
However, Alfred Music has done a tremendous job arranging these
pieces."
