Saudades de Scott Walker...

Scott Walker nasceu há oitenta e três anos...

    

Scott Walker (born Noel Scott Engel; Hamilton, Ohio, January 9, 1943 – London, March 22, 2019) was an American-born British singer-songwriter, composer and record producer. Walker was known for his baritone voice and an unorthodox career path which took him from 1960s teen pop icon to 21st-century avant-garde musician. Walker's success was largely in the United Kingdom, where his first four solo albums reached the top ten. He lived in the UK from 1965 and became a UK citizen in 1970.

Rising to fame in the mid-1960s as frontman of the pop music trio the Walker Brothers, he began a solo career with 1967's Scott, moving toward an increasingly challenging style on late-1960s baroque pop albums such as Scott 3 and Scott 4 (both 1969). After sales of his solo work started to decrease, he reunited with the Walker Brothers in the mid-1970s. From the mid-1980s onward, Walker revived his solo career while moving in an increasingly avant-garde direction; of this period in his career, The Guardian said "imagine Andy Williams reinventing himself as Stockhausen". Walker's 1960s recordings were highly regarded by the 1980s UK underground music scene, and gained a cult following.

Walker continued to record until 2018. He was described by the BBC upon his death as "one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in rock history".

Walker died at the age of 76 in London on March 22, 2019. His death was announced three days later by his record company 4AD, which announced cancer as the cause of death and called him "a unique and challenging titan at the forefront of British music". Tributes included those from Thom Yorke, Marc Almond, and Neil Hannon. He is survived by his girlfriend Beverly Foster, his daughter Lee and granddaughter Emmi-Lee.

Benjamin Clementine - 37 anos

 

 

Benjamin Sainte-Clémentine (Crystal Palace, Londres, 7 de dezembro de 1988) é um artista inglês, poeta, compositor e nasceu em Londres na Inglaterra.

Benjamin cresceu no Norte de Londres e viveu um período na França, antes de retornar a Inglaterra. Ao mudar-se para a capital francesa viveu como um adolescente sem-teto. Os seus pequenos shows em bares ajudaram-no a se tornar uma figura importante no cenário musical e artístico. Depois de sua mudança de volta para Londres fez sua estreia na TV, na BBC, no programa Later de Jools Hooland, em 2013. A maior parte dos críticos têm honrado Benjamin, citando-o e descrevendo-o como um homem de rara inteligência, um excelente pianista, com profunda musicalidade e com carisma no palco. No entanto, encontraram dificuldades para adequar sua música em um único género específico, muitas vezes situava-se além da categoria especificada. Ainda sim, o seu alcance vocal, capacidade e dicção tem sido comparadas com a de Nina Simone e Antony Hegarty e o seu estilo intenso de cantar com o de Edith Piaf.

As composições de Benjamin Clementine são musicalmente vigorosas e sintonizam problemas da vida misturadas com uma revolta poética tomada de amor e melancolia, com um lirismo sofisticado, gíria, gritos e a declamação de versos rimados ou monólogos em prosa. Benjamin deixou de se apresentar em enormes concertos passando a realizar apresentações com músicas orquestradas e trechos declamados, rompendo com uma estrutura musical tradicional para inventar um modo próprio de se apresentar com drama e inovação. Usualmente, toca em um palco preto ou cinza escuro,  usando um casaco de lã, sem camisa por baixo e de pés descalços.
