Los Angeles is abuzz with the countdown to the Grammys this Sunday (January 26). But dominant within these conversations is a slice of drama worthy of its own Hollywood production: an ousted female CEO locked in a vicious public battle with a male-dominated institution over her dismissal, her allegations of villainy… and, of course, the money she’ll receive for her exit. That female CEO is Deborah Dugan, the former boss of Bono’s Red, who was named Chief Exec and President of the Recording Academy as recently as August last year. Significantly, Dugan was the first woman to head the Academy in its history. She was hired following fierce criticism of the Grammy-running org over its diversity and inclusion practices – particularly pertaining to gender. Since January 16, when Dugan was placed on administrative leave by the Academy’s bosses, all hell has broken loose: Embrace Of The Serpent (Soundtrack) on Apple Music The now-acting CEO of the Recording Academy, Harvey Maso...

SCIMIA – Album “Little Men In A Giant World” Electro beat time… Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd Distribution Sergent Major Company Ltd – The Orchard LITTLE MAN IN A GIANT WORLD The first part of Scimia, this album balances between modernity and retro sounds. Indeed, through 13 tracks bringing together the 3 previous EPs (Awe, Pow and Tré), Scimia takes us into very different universes, between the glitter of the disco years and the brutality of today's techno. The influence of the 80s is very present on songs like Gin, Little Man In A Giant World or Danger, based on disco rhythms and New Wave sounds, but this is only a small part of the album. Indeed, we can find much darker and aggressive pieces like Electronic Warfare, Fit Of Rage, but also softer and melodic titles like Bonobo ... And even a classic cover on the 12th title. Finally, Little Man In A Giant World is an album full of collaborations. It will include singer Syd Alexander on Little Man In A Giant Wo...
