Named a best book of the year by Kirkus ReviewsNamed a Notable Book of 2025 by the Washington PostA personal and cultural exploration of the struggles between art and business at the heart of modern Hollywood, through the eyes of the talent that shaped itMatthew Specktor grew up in the film industry: the son of legendary CAA superagent Fred Specktor, his childhood was one where Beau Bridges came over for dinner, Martin Sheen’s daughter was his close friend, and Marlon Brando left long messages on the family answering machine. He would eventually spend time working in Hollywood himself, first as a reluctant studio executive and later as a screenwriter.Now, with The Golden Hour, Specktor blends memoir, cultural criticism, and narrative history to tell the story of the modern motion picture industry—illuminating the conflict between art and business that has played out over the last seventy-five years in Hollywood. Braiding his own story with that of his father, mother (a talented screenwriter whose career was cut short), and figures ranging from Jack Nicholson to CAA’s Michael Ovitz, Specktor reveals how Hollywood became a laboratory for the eternal struggle between art, labor, and capital.Beginning with the rise of Music Corporation of America in the 1950s, The Golden Hour lays out a series of clashes between fathers and sons, talent agents and studio heads, artists, activists, unions, and corporations. With vivid prose and immersive scenes, Specktor shows how Hollywood grew from the epicenter of American cultural life to a full-fledged multinational concern—and what this shift has meant for the nation’s place in the world. At once a book about the movie business and an intimate family drama, The Golden Hour is a sweeping portrait of the American Century.

The Golden Hour

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

PCD ist das Debüt-Studioalbum der legendären Girlgroup The Pussycat Dolls, das am 12. September 2005 veröffentlicht wurde. Mit Ron Fair als Executive Producer und Beiträgen von Produzenten wie Kwamé, Polow da Don und Rich Harrison sowie Gastbeiträgen der Rapper Busta Rhymes, Timbaland und will.i.am wurde das Album sofort zu einem Riesenerfolg. Textlich enthält das Album sexuelle Anspielungen und behandelt Themen wie Feminismus und Romantik, untermalt von energiegeladenen Dance-Pop-Songs und mitreißenden Balladen. Die ersten vier Singles aus PCD - 'Don't Cha', 'Stickwitu', 'Beep' und 'Buttons' - waren kommerziell erfolgreich und führten die Charts in verschiedenen Ländern an, darunter Neuseeland, wo alle vier die Spitze der Single-Charts erreichten.

Popgeschichte

Das facettenreiche Doppelporträt der beiden aufsehenerregendsten weiblichen Popstars und mehrfachen Grammypreisträgerinnen.

Beyoncé erhält als erste Schwarze Künstlerin einen Grammy für das beste Country-Album. Taylor Swift bringt mit ihren Verlobungsfotos das Internet zum Einsturz. Jörn Glasenapp zeigt in seinem unterhaltsamen und klugen Doppelporträt, dass diese beiden scheinbar so unterschiedlich agierenden weiblichen Superstars mehr gemeinsam haben, als man zunächst glaubt. Seit Jahrzehnten verkörpern Beyoncé und Taylor Swift die immer souveräner werdende Vormachtstellung weiblicher Künstlerinnen in der Popmusik. Was sie tun, sorgt weltweit für Schlagzeilen und wird von Boulevard-Zeitungen, im Feuilleton und an Universitäten diskutiert. Ihre Tourneen und Alben-Releases gelten als kulturelle Großereignisse und ihre Fan-Communities versprechen eine bessere, eine inklusive und tolerante Welt. Was macht die beiden Megastars aus? Was verbindet, was unterscheidet sie? Diesen und weiteren Fragen widmet sich Jörn Glasenapp in seinem Doppelporträt, das beiden Ausnahmekünstlerinnen im Licht der jeweils anderen Kontur verleiht - und dabei u. a. Einblicke in die feministischen Diskurse und die Black-Empowerment-Bewegung in der Popkultur des 21. Jahrhunderts gibt.

Instead, it's a tale of long journeying through a life that changed popular music: of a homesick wanderer forging ahead on routes of her invention, and of me on her trail, heading toward the ringing of her voice.One of the most celebrated artists of her generation, Joni Mitchell has inspired countless musicians and writers, while never stopping still herself.In Travelling,celebrated music critic Ann Powers seeks to understand the paradox of Mitchell - at once both elusive and inviting - through her myriad journeys. Drawing on extensive inter­views with Mitchell's peers and deep archival research, Powers takes readers to rural Canada, charts the course of Mitchell's musical evolution, follows the winding road of Mitchell's collaborations with other greats and explores the loves that fed her songwriting.Kaleidoscopic in scope and intimate in detail, Travellingis a fresh and fascinating addition to the Joni Mitchell corpus - and one that questions whether an artist can ever truly be known to their fans.

An entertaining and deeply nostalgic dive into how female pop stars broke through the music industry in the 2000s and altered the cultural landscape forever, from the Ringer writer and Every Single Album podcast cohost “Hit Girls bridges our butterfly-clipped, bedazzled past with today’s music world, revealing how the pop songs we belted in our bedrooms shaped everything we’re streaming now.”—Kate Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author of One in a Millennial Low-rise jeans, butterfly clips, The Lizzie McGuire Movie, and Paris Hilton’s nights out. The early 2000s were a time of major moments in fashion, media, celebrity culture, and especially music. The aughts were a particularly fruitful era for female artists—still the only decade in the history of recorded music when women made up more than half the list of highest-grossing performers—and especially pop stars. Artists such as Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Beyoncé were leading the charge—their success not only leading to a new respect for female artists, but for pop stardom itself. In Hit Girls, Nora Princiotti examines how these artists redefined the role of the pop star within the music industry and culture more broadly, and fundamentally set the stage for the women who top the charts today. Princiotti unpacks the shifts in genre, technology, and celebrity culture that sparked this evolution through the stories of the biggest names in aughties pop. Like how Britney opened the bubblegum floodgates at the start of the decade, inspiring both copycats like Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson and mall punk antagonists like Avril Lavigne and Ashlee Simpson. Or how innovations in technology led to the rise of EDM as Rihanna experimented with sound while Ke$ha and Katy Perry embraced the “party anthem.” Along the way, Princiotti explores how celebrity evolved alongside the changes in media from the tabloid days à la Lindsay Lohan to MySpace, Instagram and how Taylor created one of the largest, most dedicated fandoms the world has ever seen. The ultimate love letter to pop music, Hit Girls celebrates the women who revolutionized the genre, inspired the next generation, and—in some cases—are burning brighter than ever.
