Primavera Sound
Primavera Sound (commonly referred to as simply Primavera) is an annual music festival held in Parc del Fòrum in Barcelona, Spain that takes place between the end of May and beginning of June. The first edition took place in 2001 in Poble Espanyol and moved to the Parc del Fòrum, a much larger site on the seafront, in 2005. The nature of the festival (urban and an integrated part of the city) and the wide range of bands represented have made Primavera Sound a meeting point for artists and spectators from all generations. Primavera Sound is one of the largest and most-attended music festivals in Europe and the biggest in the Mediterranean. The success of the festival led to an expansion to Porto in 2012. This one takes place at the Parque da Cidade a week after the main edition. In 2022, the festival announced four new editions taking place in Los Angeles, Santiago de Chile, Buenos Aires and São Paulo. A much smaller version of the festival, Primavera Weekender, has been taking ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Never Say Die (Chvrches Song)
"Never Say Die" is a song recorded by Scottish synthpop band Chvrches. Written by the band and its producer Greg Kurstin, it was released by Glassnote Records on 29 March 2018, as the third single from the band's third studio album, '' Love Is Dead'' (2018). The song is also featured in the soundtrack of the 2018 video game ''Forza Horizon 4''. Composition "Never Say Die" is a downtempo electro song that "features robust, linear-patterned synths that maintain the song's energy". Despite the band's well-known "airy synths", there is "a more abrasive-sounding synth leads the charge during the bridge leading into the anthemic chorus", according to Derrick Rossignol of ''Uproxx''. In a statement, Lauren Mayberry said that it is "one of my favorite songs on the record because it really leans into the juxtaposition of what we do—the mixture between the dark and the light", describing it as "melodic and direct but uses some of the gnarliest sounds we've ever tried".

Critical reception Michael Cragg of ''The Guardian'' gave the song a positive review, while noting the mood differences between the song and a previous Chvrches track, "Lies". He wrote that the song "tempers the monster synth riffs in favour of twinkling keyboards, padded drum claps and a central lyric that lends the whole thing a slightly melancholic edge." Duncan Cooper of ''The Fader'' praised Lauren Mayberry's vocals, comparing them to those of Megan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clearest Blue
"Clearest Blue" is a song by the Scottish synth-pop band Chvrches and the third single from the band's second studio album, ''Every Open Eye''. Background While talking about the origins of the song on the ''Song Exploder'' podcast, Martin Doherty and Iain Cook explained that the trio originally intended "Clearest Blue" to be a laid back song with just two chords, but because they are notoriously bad at sticking to their own rules, they ended up with something completely divergent from those ideas. After coming up with the base sample, they bounced ideas around, with Doherty adding "nonsense vocals" to establish the basic cadences of the song. Lauren Mayberry began writing the lyrics to replace these vocals, but found herself frequently concerned that her pessimism would bleed through into the lyrics of the song in parts intended to be hopeful and optimistic. The song is typically described as building and building until it ultimately explodes at its melodic climax, but Doherty ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sam Shepherd of ''musicOMH'' felt it "finds Mayberry certain of her feelings and finding closure, and delivering a sweet vocal that drills deep into the pleasure centres." Abby Johnston of ''The Austin Chronicle'' called Mayberry's performance in the song "at the level of a modern-day Cyndi Lauper."

Steve is such an intuitive writer with such a killer ear for melody and working with him felt very easy and natural. He makes space for everyone in the room and really pushes people to try things and go outside of their comfort zone, in a good way," said Mayberry.
