Hachette Australia Time of My Life
Book SynopsisFrom the much-loved Myf Warhurst comes a captivating and joyous memoir of wisdom, humour and heart that unleashes the music within us all.We all have a soundtrack to our lives, songs that as soon as we hear them we''re transported to a moment in time.As the youngest child, and only girl, in a family of creative types, Myf Warhurst grew up with the music in her. Whether she was watching Daryl Braithwaite on TV on a Sunday night or listening to the crackle of the needle across vinyl as Agnetha and Anni-Frid took her from rural Victoria to Eurovision, music has always shaped Myf''s life. Later her love of music (and the realisation that a professional pianist gig wasn''t part of the plan) would shape her career.But music isn''t just about memories. It''s a safe place for people who feel different. Songs and lyrics helped Myf make sense of the world and deal with heartbreak and uncertainty. Music steered her hopes and fashion choices, cemented friendships

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Popular Music as Promotion
Book Synopsis''Business-as-usual'' has been transformed across the music industries in the post-CD age. Against widespread hype about the purported decline of the major music labels, this book provides a critique of the ways these companies have successfully adapted to digital challenges and what is at stake for music makers and for culture. Today, recording artists are positioned as ''artist-brands'' and popular music as a product to be licensed by consumer and media brands. Leslie M. Meier examines key consequences of shifting business models, marketing strategies, and the new ''common sense'' in the music industries: the gatekeeping and colonization of popular music by brands. Popular Music as Promotion is important reading for students and scholars of media and communication studies, cultural studies and sociology, and will appeal to anyone interested in new intersections of popular music, digital media and promotional culture.Trade Review"This is a truly excellent book. Based on a wealth of original research, including interviews with music and brand personnel, plus analysis of trade magazines and conventions, it makes a powerful argument about the way popular music has become subsumed under branding and advertising. Important." Jason Toynbee, formerly of The Open University "Leslie Meier asks hard questions about what music is for, at a time when corporate brands own, produce and distribute what we listen to. Her analysis of contemporary licensing, digital marketing and artist-brands brings new depth and subtlety to the ongoing tensions between art and commerce. Popular Music as Promotion makes a valuable contribution to critical scholarship on our thoroughly promotional culture."

Running Press,U.S. Larger Than Life
Book SynopsisThe music, the fans, the choreography, the clothes, the merch, the hysteria... the hair. The pop phenomenon that dominated the 1990s and 2000s has left a long-lasting mark on culture, yet no book has fully celebrated them. Maria Sherman has a deep love of boy bands and has written extensively on them for Jezebel, where she currently works, as well as in Rolling Stone, Vulture, and more. In this book, her first, she celebrates the boy band revolution with a mix of serious fandom and a tongue-in-cheek attitude. Larger Than Life begins with a brief look at the history of boy bands starting with The Beatles and touching on groups from the 1970s and early 1980s like the Jackson 5 and Menudo. Sherman then moves on the heart of the book -- the boy bands of the 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s. Bands including NKOTB, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, One Direction, and K-Pop bands like BTS are given a capsule biography with spreads on solo careers (the good and the bad), one hit wonders, dating, in-fighting,

Harper Horizon Anthems We Love
Book SynopsisFrom U2 to Carly Simon, the Temptations to TLC, artists describe in their own words how their songs became the soundtrack of your life in this celebration of music featuring original interviews by music journalist Steve Baltin.Trade Review'As a music lover, this book is a must have for me! Steve is such a great writer/interviewer, so to get this kind of personal insight from this range of incredible artists is iconic.' * Victoria Justice, award-winning actress and recording artist (Zoey 101, Victorious, Outcasts, and Trust) *'Steve Baltin has a way of getting INSIDE a song, inside a perspective of an artist. He has the care and ability to hold the complexities in what he hears, and how he is impacted by music. And the ability to articulate how that personal, microcosmic effect translates to the world and pop culture at large. Steve has the big view and is equally adept at zooming in on, and honoring the subtleties. To be beheld by Steve's view is a true gift to all artists.' * Alanis Morissette, multi-platinum, bestselling, and GRAMMY Award winning recording artist *'Anthems We Love is not just a tale of artistic adventure, it's also a manual for artists and fans alike. There is no formula. Just these inspiring stories of the heart, and Steve Baltin's sparkling portraits of these artists who looked into their souls and often accidentally created indelible songs for all-time.' * Cameron Crowe, Academy Award nominated director, producer, and screenwriter (Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous, Say Anything, and Pearl Jam Twenty) *'Steve knows his music and has cornered a classic list of the best songwriters. So many great songs finally explained!' * Gavin Rossdale, lead singer of the multi-platinum, bestselling, and GRAMMY nominated band Bush *'Being included among artists and songs that have inspired me so deeply like 'At Seventeen', 'God Only Knows' and one of my teenage anthems, 'Africa', is a perfect example of the honors 'You're Still The One' has given me. This song has been a real gift.' * Shania Twain, multi-platinum and bestselling recording artist, and Academy of Country Music award-winner *'As all of us songwriters know, a song means one thing to the writer and then takes on a mystical life of its own as it finds its way into the hearts and experiences of the listener. This book resonates with me as a songwriter, but more importantly, it hits home for the music fan that lives in all of us!' * Deborah Gibson, multi-platinum and bestselling recording artist, and American Songwriter Award winner *
