"Se quella di Taylor fosse una storia, comincerebbe in modo non troppo diverso da quella di molti altri suoi coetanei, con un'infanzia serena trascorsa in Pennsylvania"... ma è il seguito che conta: Taylor Swift è appena ragazzina, e con sé ha solo una chitarra e la certezza di una passione, quella per la musica. Forte di una famiglia che crede in lei e di un talento unico con le parole, cerca di farsi largo nella music industry: inizia suonando in piccoli festival e a serate di paese nella provincia americana; piano piano si fa notare e ad appena quattordici anni firma il suo primo contratto discografico. Inizia un percorso che poche artiste nella storia sono riuscite a compiere: oggi Taylor Swift è la regina mondiale del pop, una superstar indiscussa, ma soprattutto la voce forte, coraggiosa e profonda di milioni di persone. La sua musica abbraccia diverse generazioni e travalica i confini, i suoi testi fanno risuonare nel mondo le emozioni che tutti noi proviamo nella nostra vita e che Taylor sa cantare in modo così autentico, facendoci sentire che non siamo mai soli. In queste pagine - scritte da chi Taylor la conosce molto bene, cioè i rappresentanti della sua community italiana - si ripercorre la sua carriera, era dopo era. Tra fun facts, approfondimenti sulle canzoni, chicche poco note e tante fotografie, si trova la storia di Taylor dagli inizi a oggi. Per tutte le fan e tutti i fan che vogliono tuffarsi nel suo mondo, ripercorrerne le vicende, scoprirne i segreti e le curiosità, capire i testi di alcuni brani, immergersi nella sua musica e nel suo universo. Per chi è già swiftie, ma anche per chi vuole diventarlo. E per chi vuole cantare a squarciagola, al suo concerto, assieme ad altre migliaia di persone: "Taylor, you'll be fine!".

This is the definitive, fully illustrated account of the Beatles' concerts and controversies, and of how the United States dominated their lives in so many ways. Written by one of the acknowledged experts on the Fab Four, Liverpool's own Spencer Leigh, this volume includes interviews with fellow musicians, promoters, and audience members, together with rare photographs and memorabilia. Early in 1964, with Beatlemania raging in the UK, the Beatles topped the US charts with "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and became a sensation on American TV with The Ed Sullivan Show--on which they appeared no fewer than three occasions, on consecutive Sundays in February 1964. In April 1964, they held all Top Five positions on the Billboard Hot 100 and were playing such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, and Shea Stadium. As Epstein predicted, they had become bigger than Elvis--after their first appearances of 1964 (at Carnegie Hall and in Washington, DC), the band went on to do a full North American tour in 1964, a shorter tour in 1965, and a final, 13-date tour in 1966 (each of which is covered in detail), transforming them into global superstars--but when John Lennon commented that the band was "bigger than Jesus," things turned sour, and there were public burnings of their records. The final chapter and epilogue of the book take the story of "the Beatles in America" up to the band's breakup and beyond, including John and Yoko's June 1, 1969, "Bed-In" in Montreal and the release of the couple's single "Give Peace a Chance."

Let the Music Play: How R&B Fell In Love With 80s Synths is the overlooked story of how R&B, disco and funk were transformed by the explosion of synths and other music tech in the era of ghetto blasters, shoulder pads and Ronald Reagan.

From superstars like Prince and Sade to production geniuses like Kashif and Jam & Lewis, it looks at how sounds and genres kept adapting to each new innovation, including drum machines, samplers and digital studios. It tells the fascinating stories of the artists involved and how some of the best-loved records of the era were made - creating a blueprint for music today.
