What's New At G-POP.net:
Alissa Skorik Revisited - Melissa Minners discusses a musician on the rise.
Excerpt: "...The music Alissa Skorik creates with her multiple array of flutes is addictive – you can’t just listen to one track. I can’t wait to take a listen to the P.O.P. EP scheduled to be released in May 2019. Alissa Skorik is one of those talented musicians on the rise and I, for one, can’t wait to hear more."
Head Over Heels - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the popular Broadway musical featuring the music of The Go-Go's.
Excerpt: "...On October 12, 2018, the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Head Over Heels was digitally released by Sony Masterworks Broadway. The album was released in CD format on November 9, 2018. Having been a fan of Belinda Carlisle and music of The Go-Go’s, I couldn’t wait to take a listen..."
The Girl in the Spiders Web - Melissa Minners reviews the novel that carries on the Steig Larsson Millenniuim Serise.
Excerpt: "After reading three books in the Millennium Series by Stieg Larsson, I found myself yearning for more. I loved the main characters of Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist. But, alas, Stieg Larsson died before he wrote any more books in the series. Flash forward some years, and I learn that Larsson had actually planned for this series to be a lot longer. His notes were entrusted by Larsson’s family to David Lagercrantz, in hopes that he could continue to bring life to Larsson’s characters and move forward with the series. I decided to check out the first of these novels, The Girl in the Spider's Web..."
Lady Bird - Melissa Minners reviews the dramedy starring Saiorse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf.
Excerpt: "After listening to the soundtrack, reading about the film and listening to all of the awards hype, I was definitely interested in seeing Lady Bird, starring Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf. But time constraints would hold me back and then, once I finally did see it, other time constraints and commitments kept me from writing the review. Finally, here it is, my review of Lady Bird..."
The Newspaperman: The Life and Times of Ben Bradlee - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the HBO documentary about one of the most important journalistic figures of the 20th Century.
Excerpt: "...The Newspaperman: The Life and Times of Ben Bradlee Soundtrack features a dramatic and upbeat string and piano-led opening score. Depending on the moments in Ben Bradlee’s life, the score can become rather dark and more dramatic. Tracks like Whitehouse Reaction feature longer and more drawn-out strokes on the violin. Cover-up is a rather serious piano piece. Headlines features a darker, lower registry opening. There are various themes to be found on this album..."
Bird Box - Melissa Minners reviews the much-talked-about Netflix film starring Sandra Bullock.
Excerpt: "I had been seeing previews for a new movie scheduled to air on Netflix for about a month now. Based on a novel by Josh Malerman, Bird Box stars Sandra Bullock in the lead role and has a rather frightening premise – an entity is out there and if you see it, you die. I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to see this film, especially based on the incredibly varying opinions I’ve been reading on the web, but a co-worker assured me that I was going to like this film, so I decided to give it a shot..."
