What's New At G-POP.net:
A-X-L - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the science fiction action film about a damaged and abandoned government-made A.I. dog, the boy who finds and fixes him and the bond that grows between them.
Excerpt: "...When dealing with a movie featuring an artificial intelligence as one of the main characters, one would expect a somewhat futuristic score in keeping with the technology. Thus, it should come as no surprise that the A-X-L Soundtrack should be heavy in synths, electric guitar, electronic sound and – being an action film – percussion..."
Rent: Live! - Melissa Minners reviews the televised performance of the award-winning musical, Rent.
Excerpt: "Before I start on my review, I must admit that prior to seeing Rent: Live!, I had never seen the original Broadway musical or the film based on the musical. Yes, I read my sister’s review of the musical and the movie, but I never really bothered to see it. So, you can imagine what I thought when I heard it would be performed as a live television event. I’d seen some of these musicals performed live on television and turned them off before the third scene of the first act. I definitely wasn’t going to watch this one…or so I thought. After all, there was no football on television and I do not control the television – sometimes you have to compromise. And so it was, on January 27, 2019 that I found myself seated on the couch watching Rent: Live! on FOX..."
Symphony for our World - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a Nat Geo special now being used in concert performances worldwide.
Excerpt: "...The Symphony for Our World Soundtrack features a full symphony and choir performing some incredibly beautiful music. The score is sometimes awe-inspiring, such as in the main title (which features X Ambassadors); sometimes playful, as in Jamphibians, Crabs and Shore Babies which feature flitting flutes, bells and more; sometimes majestic and dramatic, as in the various Symphony themes (Sea, Mountains, Shores, Land, Sky) and sometimes ominous, as in Shark Horde and Wolves. The music is beautifully enchanting and quite soothing..."
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..."
