Osheaga jour 2 : entre orages, flammes et pop actuelle

Malgré une pause forcée, Osheaga a trouvé son rythme avec Gracie Abrams, Naomi Sharon et un Tyler, The Creator en pleine forme.

Pour ce deuxième jour d’Osheaga, Gracie Abrams semblait être autant attendue par ses admirateurs que par les éclairs. On ne peut leur en vouloir d’avoir voulu se joindre à la foule humaine chantant avec candeur I Love You, I’m Sorry, au point de forcer une pause générale d’une vingtaine de minutes pour cause de risques d’orage.

Shaboozey, lui, a eu droit à un soleil éclatant. Face à lui, une marée de fans en bottes western et chapeaux de cow-boy, un «ur hot» scintillant sur un écran de téléphone noyé dans la foule.


L'artiste canadien BBNO$ a quant à lui présenté un spectacle digne d'un freak show, avec des clowns, une contortionniste, et même le musicien local Noche, qui jouait le mime à la basse.

Première apparition réussie sur la scène d’Osheaga pour l’envoûtante Naomi Sharon, tout comme pour l’artiste québécoise BéLi, qui a su convertir le public à sa pop glitch.

Et si l’on se demandait à quoi ressemble le fait d’enflammer littéralement une scène, le set magistral de Tyler, The Creator, ponctué de feux d’artifice et de lance-flammes, offrait une réponse claire.

Sur scène, le rappeur a incarné le monstre créatif qu’il prévenait de ne surtout pas réveiller dans Don’t Tap The Glass, séduisant à la fois ses fans de la première heure et un public plus récent, déjà capable de réciter ses paroles par cœur.

Puisqu’un show de Tyler ne serait pas complet sans une pique bien placée, le coin VIP a eu droit à quelques huées, gentiment encouragées par l’artiste lui-même, non sans un rictus de Robin des Bois malicieux aux lèvres.

Was Sept. 24, 1991, the Best Day Ever for New Albums?

This week in 1991, 35 years ago, was one of those moments that changed music history. On Sept. 24, four classic albums dropped on the same day: Nirvana’s Nevermind, the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Blood Sugar Sex Magik, A Tribe Called Quest’s The Low End Theory, and the Pixies’ Trompe Le Monde. All four were instant sensations, to the shock of the industry, transforming how everything would sound for the next decade. The revolution happened fast — August of 1991 was one era, but then by October, it was a whole new ballgame.

If you’re looking for symbolic reasons why music was overdue for a revolution, look no further than the year’s biggest pop group, C&C Music Factory. Just a few weeks earlier, on Aug. 23, the Factory (as nobody ever called them) were doing a live show in Tucson, Arizona, as part of the Club MTV Tour. Other acts on the bill: Color Me Badd, Gerardo, of “Rico Suave” fame, and Bell Biv DeVoe. But the C&C rapper Freedom Williams passed out cold onstage, falling flat on his face, with the whole crowd watching. The official explanation was the usual “dehydration” and “exhaustion.” (Maybe he also made the mistake of trusting a big butt and a smile?)

Ryan Murphy Says ‘Glee’ Cast is ‘Very Enthusiastic’ About Planned Reboot

Ryan Murphy has officially completed the script for a potential reboot of Glee. Speaking at the premiere of the new season of American Horror Story, Murphy told Entertainment Tonight that the cast is “very enthusiastic” about a potential reunion for the Fox musical comedy series, which ran for six seasons from 2009 to 2015.

“Well, funny you ask, because I just finished the script an hour ago,” Murphy said. “So, we have a script. Brad [Falchuk], Ian [Brennan] and I, who wrote all the first two seasons, have written something. I’ve been in touch with around 10 of the original cast members. It’s very sweet, and they all had a lot of questions, but they all were very enthusiastic about the idea.”

U2 Announce New Album, ‘Carnaval de Luz,’ Out Nov. 13

U2 will release Carnaval de Luz, their first album of new songs in nine years, on Nov. 13, the band announced today. “It’s an extraordinary collection of songs,” bassist Adam Clayton tells Rolling Stone in interviews for an upcoming feature, “and it’s the culmination of the work that everyone has been doing for 50 years.” U2 first played together in Larry Mullen Jr.’s kitchen on Sept. 25, 1976 — 50 years ago this Friday. Bono describes the album as “anarchic,” which is borne out by a just-released new single, the concise, raging punk tune “Silencio.”

The 12-track album, produced by Garret “Jacknife” Lee, who’s been working with U2 since 2004’s How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, closes with “Torn,” featuring the final vocal performance from Dolly Parton, who died last month. Longtime U2 collaborator Brian Eno co-wrote and played synths on three tracks, including the opener, “Go (Carnaval de Luz).” Snow Patrol’s Johnny McDaid co-wrote “Torn” with Parton and the band, Martin Garrix has a writing credit on the track “Glorify,” and Ryan Tedder is credited with additional production on “Silencio.”
