What's New At G-POP.net:
Pokemon: Detective Pikachu - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the first live action Pokémon film.
Excerpt: "...I wasn’t quite certain what to expect from this score. On the one hand, the film is based on a video game, so one might expect some heavy synth styling. On the other hand, Pikachu is pictured dressed in a throwback gumshoe detective outfit, so one might expect some detective noir/jazz. According to Henry Jackman, to create the music for Pokémon: Detective Pikachu, he blended orchestral with electronic music..."
FBI - Melissa Minners reviews the CBS crime series from the creators of Law & Order.
Excerpt: "I had meant to watch this dramatic crime series on CBS in preparation for a First Impressions article, but I never got a chance to write it and after a few episodes, it seemed silly to write my First Impressions when the series was half-over. So, I decided to wait until FBI had aired for a full season and give you my “full impressions” of the series..."
Impulse - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the dramatic science fiction YouTube series.
Excerpt: "...The Impulse Soundtrack definitely has that science fiction feel. The score is quite dark…rumbling almost at times…and contains a haunting electronic sound. To create that sound, DERU used something decidedly not electronic..."
Doctor Who: Series 11 - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the 11th season of the popular British science fiction television series.
Excerpt: "...With a different composer, the Doctor Who: Series 11 Soundtrack was bound to be a new and exciting experience. The Opening Titles received a revamp, making it edgier and electronic sounding. According to an interview Segun Akinola did with SYFY.com, he decided to experiment with sound quite a bit for this score, taking existing sounds and manipulating them. With the addition of new companions for a new Doctor, all new musical themes would be created, touching upon their ethnicity as well as their emotional perspectives along their journey..."
We're Going to Need More Wine - Melissa Minners reviews a book by Gabrielle Union.
Excerpt: "Why did I purchase this book? I had a credit I received after buying Michelle Obama’s memoir and this title grabbed me: We're Going to Need More Wine. The title alone was funny, but then I noticed that the book was written by Gabrielle Union. I have always liked Gabrielle Union’s work and, after watching interviews with the actress, always had the feeling that she was “real.” I felt that this book may offer up some insight into the life of the actress and I had the feeling that this book would be honest to a fault in doing so..."
The Hustle - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the female-based remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
Excerpt: "...The music of The Hustle is what you would expect from a comedy with a sophisticated twist. Each character has a theme: Josephine’s is sophisticated violins, while Penny’s is mainly guitars. The two collide at times. When working against one another, things can get rather funny with guitars playing off violins and accordions entering the picture. But things get even more interesting when the women decide to work together and the combo of violins and guitars offer up a sort of sophisticated, yet free style..."
