Description
how holly miranda arrives at the Magician?s private library is all an adventure that, like the album title, does not seem to belong to this world. we are facing a history of mafia, history that destined to be without a happy ending, not for the intervention of one of the most prominent artists of this century: david sitek, producer of the album.
born in detroit 27 years ago, miranda spent its first 15 years of life with limited contact with the world (the exits until that age were reduced to school and mass? that attended 5 times a week). at 16 departs for sister's house in ny. here gains notoriety singing in small bars and early receives a record contract. what seemed like a fairy tale early becomes a nightmare. The proposed contract did not safeguard it at all, reverting all future profits to those who sponsored it? the mafia. then decides to rip the contract, something that earned him months of threats and a return ticket to the detroit natal.
in 2005 he meets david sitek (one of the key members of tv on the radio and producer of anywhere i lay my head of scarlett johansson). admired with the talent of miranda, she proposes to record with her a record in her studio. born the Magician?s private library, introspective and charming album that mixes nina simone with an electronics proxiam of the air universe and where dotify the tv on the radio kyp malone and jallel bunton and the antibalas afrobeat orchestra stuart bogie and eric beando.
Fame followed. two of his themes marked presence in the anatomy series of grey, blogotheque and black cab sessions recorded it in all its splendor, the vanity fair wanted photographic session (holly miranda is beautiful), xx and friendly fires had her make the first parts of her concerts, the new york teams interviewed her...
faster a character from a martin scorsese film, that a future rock star (something it will soon become) holly miranda is a comet.
We bet your story is still barely written.
