As one of the world's best-selling musicians, Lady Gaga has set the musical bar high. Since her debut album, The Fame (2008), she has sold more than 124 million records and scooped numerous awards, including twelve Grammy Awards, three Brit Awards, and eighteen MTV Music Video Awards. Yet she is much more than a musician.
At the helm of the Haus of Gaga--a close-knit circle of behind-the-scenes creatives--Lady Gaga is a performance artist like no other; her forward-thinking fashions and innovations mark her out as the ultimate maverick. Recently, she has reinvented herself as an accomplished jazz performer, dueting with legendary singer Tony Bennett on Cheek to Cheek (2014) and Love For Sale (2021), while also proving herself a consummate actor with lead roles in A Star Is Born (2018) and House of Gucci (2021). And with her advocacy for LGBT rights and active championing of kindness via the Born This Way Foundation, co-founded with her mother Cynthia Germanotta in 2011, it's clear to see why her fans adore her.
Lady Gaga: Applause is a celebration of a true artist of our time. Illustrated throughout with stunning photography and complementary fashion segments, this comprehensive history follows Lady Gaga's ever-evolving and often unpredictable career, and is testament to her many talents. A must for Little Monsters everywhere.
A celebration of one of pop's longest reigning rebels.
Pink is one of the most trailblazing artists of our time. Her breakthrough album, Missundaztood, was released to critical acclaim in 2001 and showcased her unique, powerhouse pop vocals, as well as her rebellious style. In the two decades since, she has remained firmly in pop's upper echelons, despite her refusal to conform.
She consistently out-sings her contemporaries with hit songs such as Get the Party Started, Just Like a Pill, So What, What About Us and Beautiful Trauma while her willingness to speak frankly about difficult topics has made her a relatable role model. She is an outspoken animal rights activist, and has been vocal about women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and her support of same-sex marriage.
Away from the studio, Pink's live shows are nothing short of phenomenal; her jaw-dropping acrobatics mark her out as a truly spectacular performer.
Loved by fans and revered by the music industry, Pink continues to enjoy global success and substantial airplay. Her accolades are numerous and include, three Grammys, a Daytime Emmy Award, and seven MTV Video Music Awards; the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award among them. In 2019, she was honoured with the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award at the Brit Awards, and in 2021 she accepted the Icon Award at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards.
Pink: Raise Your Glass is a celebration of one of pop's longest reigning rebels. Beautifully illustrated with essential images, this book is a fitting tribute to an undeniably, remarkable pop artist.
Harry Styles is one of the most successful solo artists to ever emerge from a band.
Having enjoyed five commercially successful albums, a run of radio-friendly hits and a fervent fandom as part of boyband phenomenon, One Direction, in 2016, Styles traded his teen idol status for a stab at a solo career, and hasn't looked back.
Drawing on his varied musical influences (he cites Fleetwood Mac, Harry Nilsson, Etta James, Shania Twain, Bowie and The Rolling Stones among his creative forbearers) Styles has simply soared. With three albums to date--the most recent of which, 2022's Harry's House, earned him the 2023 Grammy Award for Album of the Year-- he was recently crowned the new 'King of Pop.'
He has also become something of a fashion icon, often challenging gender stereotypes; he was the first man to appear solo on the cover of Vogue, for which he wore a blue dress by Gucci- a fashion house whose creative director he later collaborated with on a collection entitled Gucci Ha Ha Ha.
Outside of music, Styles has acted in films, including Dunkirk (2017), Don't Worry Darling, and My Policeman (both 2022). He is also known for his philanthropy and personal philosophy to Treat People With Kindness. His fans adore him.
Harry Styles: Sign of the Times is a colorful celebration of a truly modern pop star and artist. Covering his career to date, it includes standout sections on his fashion, acting, influences, and fans.
In the '80s, the Birmingham, England, band Duran Duran became closely associated with new wave, an idiosyncratic genre that dominated the decade's music and culture. No album represented this rip-it-up-and-start-again movement better than the act's breakthrough 1982 LP, Rio. A cohesive album with a retro-futuristic sound-influences include danceable disco, tangy funk, swaggering glam, and Roxy Music's art-rock-the full-length sold millions and spawned smashes such as Hungry Like the Wolf and the title track.
However, Rio wasn't a success everywhere at first; in fact, the LP had to be buffed-up with remixes and reissued before it found an audience in America. The album was further buoyed by colorful music videos, which established Duran Duran as leaders of an MTV-driven second British Invasion, and the group's cutting-edge visual aesthetic. Via extensive new interviews with band members and other figures who helped Rio succeed, this book explores how and why Rio became a landmark pop-rock album, and examines how the LP was both a musical inspiration-and a reflection of a musical, cultural, and technology zeitgeist.
