Music played in week 2 of KMB003 (Sex Drugs Rock’N’Roll)

This was for the lecture on The Groove, The Hook and The Sound (musicological analysis).

I have to say I was blown away by the Beyoncé, Kanye West and Frank Ocean songs in particular (these being versions I wasn’t so familiar with).

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
