This is only the second personal article published about a senior member of the Royal Family, so it was still important to be respectful and mindful of this unexplored territory in Tüm journalism. The interview happened at the Chatsworth Palace, the location of the primary photoshoot for the magazine (additional photography for the article was done at the Royal studio in Newcrest). The Princess, dressed in a golden almost off shoulder gown by fashion house Mably and armoured with pearls, was gracious and very accommodating, as she agreed to discuss the pressures of the crown, marriage and relationship with the Queen, HM Aphroditi Jackson, her mother.

HRH Amina is the first born of HM Aphroditi Jackson and HRH Prince Fausto and as such, is the heir apparent to the throne, which would make her the thirteenth monarch, since her ancestor HM Alexandria Jackson. On the pressures of the crown, the Princess remarks that the pressures are inevitable and only increasing as time goes on. However, she affirmed that she had been exposed to the reality of the throne, right around the beginning of her journey with education generally. Thus, the monarchy was and had always been part of her education and up bringing, mostly credited to having such a hands on mother and being born to a Princess at the time and not a monarch; Something that differentiates her from her sister, HRH Princess Suraya Jackson.

There has always been intrigue on if the spirt of sibling rivalry also existed in a Royal household. The birth of HRH Princess Suraya marked the first time a monarch has more than one child, since HM Delilah and thus, the first time the hero apparent had to grow up with a sibling. The Princess laughs off the idea and clarifies that her little sister’s attitude towards her had evolved over time, but never a rivalry. She recollects growing up together, being part of the same drama club at school and keeping each other company though sometimes, tedious royal events and engagements.

The performing arts is a particular interest of the Princess. While her rule and position in society will not particularly allow her to be an actress, she is determined to enlighten the public on the power of the performing arts. She is a frequent guest of the People’s Concert Hall in Mangolia and is a matron of museums across the Queendom, similar to her grandmother, HM Delilah.

On a more personal note, the Princess has successfully hidden much of her relationships from the public. The Princess revealed that she had indeed been romantically entangled to HRH Prince Edward of Washington Cliffs. However, she confirms that they had amicably separated, with the Princess choosing to focus more on her interests and spending more time with her mother, The Queen.

Perhaps even more intriguing is her relationship with the Queen. On how the Queen lives outside her royal duties, the Princess reveals that the Queen is obsessed with reading and clay modelling, explaining that the obsession was enabled by a tablet that was gifted to her by HRH Prince Fausto. The journey of Princess Amina is only beginning and the prospects of a young Princess so passionate about art is bound to be note worthy. You can count on us to be keeping up with the future Queen of Tüm.

Styling for the photoshoot included contributions from various fashion houses including: Sentate, Mably Store, NEWEN, RIMINGs, Mssims & Rusty’s.

Entertainment heat wave is coming this summer: What to watch for | Entertainment

New Post has been published on https://tattlepress.com/entertainment/entertainment-heat-wave-is-coming-this-summer-what-to-watch-for-entertainment/

Entertainment heat wave is coming this summer: What to watch for | Entertainment

Remember 2019, when hot girl summer became a motto for living with confidence?

Well, with life getting closer to normal and vaccines nudging the pandemic into — fingers crossed — the rear-view mirror, 2021’s entertainment calendar for the next few months has a similar mood.

Call it a hot everything summer.

Blockbuster movies are returning to theaters. Live concerts are set to resume. Television and streaming shows are back to being a nice part of the mix, not a sole entertainment lifeline. And with travel heating up again, beach books can actually be read on a faraway beach.

To navigate this soaring heat index for fun, here is a list of recommendations that are sunny, breezy, steaming and sizzling. You get the idea.

Hot Jeff Daniels summer

Michigan’s resident acting great always keeps it real — remember his plaid dad shirt at February’s virtual Golden Globes? His latest project evokes his home state’s ethos of blue-collar endurance. “American Rust,” a nine-episode series premiering Sept. 12 on Showtime, stars Daniels as the police chief of a Rust-Belt Pennsylvania town who is feeling “ticked off and kind of jumpy” when a murder investigation tests his loyalties. If the preview looks a bit like HBO’s gritty “Mare of Easttown,” that’s a very good thing.

Hot goofy summer

In real life, metro Detroit native Tim Robinson could be a calm, collected guy. But as a sketch comedian, he’s made an art form out of wildly overreacting to life’s little embarrassments. “I Think You Should Leave,” his mini-masterpiece Netflix show, is back July 6 with a second season. Besides brilliantly making himself the butt of the jokes, Robinson always remembers his hometown friends. Let’s hope for repeat appearances by his pals like “Detroiters” co-star Sam Richardson and Troy’s own Oscar nominee, Steven Yeun.

Hot retro Motor City summer

The Detroit of the mid-1950s comes alive in director Steven Soderbergh’s “No Sudden Move,” available July 1 on HBO Max. The crime drama starring Don Cheadle, David Harbour, Benicio del Toro, Jon Hamm and more is about some low-level criminals given a simple assignment that draws them into a mystery that stretches to the heights of the automotive industry’s power structure. The film was shot last year in Detroit under strict COVID-19 safety measures, because Soderbergh, who filmed 1998’s “Out of Sight” here, would accept no other city as a substitute.

Hot road trip summer

Six years ago, a young waitress from Detroit created a viral Twitter thread about a bizarre journey she took to Florida with a new friend to do some freelance stripping. It was as compelling as a novel and as vivid as a movie. Cut to June 30 when “Zola” hits theaters starring Taylour Page and Riley Keough. It’s a comedy and a thriller that defies expectations and makes J-Lo’s “Hustlers” seem mild. Director Janicza Bravo and screenplay co-writer Jeremy O. Harris have created a raunchy adventure that still respects A’Ziah (Zola) King as a strong woman and original writing voice.

Hot action dad summer

Yes, Matt Damon is now old enough to play a Liam Neeson-esque outraged father out for justice. In “Stillwater,” Damon is a worker for an Oklahoma oil rig who must travel to France to try and clear his daughter (Abigail Breslin) of murder charges. Think “Taken,” if it were a serious drama directed and co-written by Tom McCarthy of “Spotlight” fame. It comes out July 30, just in time to make Damon’s fans from his “Good Will Hunting” days feel ancient.

Hot reboot summer

It has been almost a decade since “Gossip Girl” ended its run, which is way too long to be without fashion tips from impossibly beautiful rich kids. The newly reimagined “Gossip Girl” on HBO Max arrives July 8 with some notable improvements, like the inclusiveness of its cast of newcomers. But it’s bringing back the original narrator, Kristen Bell (who grew up in Huntington Woods), as the voice of the title character with the hidden identity.

Hot sweating summer

Sweating is a bodily function, but what exactly is it all about? “The Joy of Sweat: The Strange Science of Perspiration,” out July 13, will explore the biology, history and marketing behind the moisture that makes us glow (to use a polite term). It covers everything from the role of stress in sweat to deodorant research that involves people who can sniff out, literally, the effectiveness of a product. Since the New York Times recommended the book as one of its 24 summer reads, you know that author Sarah Everts did sweat the details.

Hot Olympic star summer

The 2021 Tokyo Games, which run July 23-Aug. 8, will feature the world’s best gymnast, Simone Biles. She still enjoys competing, but quarantining gave her some time to improve her work-life balance, as she told Glamour for its June cover story (which comes with a dazzling photo spread of Biles). “Before I would only focus on the gym. But me being happy outside the gym is just as important as me being happy and doing well in the gym. Now it’s like everything’s coming together.” For the 24-year-old GOAT, the sky — or, maybe, gravity — is the limit.

Hot variety show summer

“What percentage of white women do you hate? And there is a right answer.” That was among the questions posed by internet sensation Ziwe to her first guest, Fran Lebowitz, on the current Showtime series that carries her name. Combining interviews, sketches and music, “Ziwe” deploys comedy to illuminate America’s awkwardness on issues of race and politics. The results are hilarious, so find out about Ziwe now before her next project arrives, a scam-themed comedy for Amazon called “The Nigerian Princess.”

Hot ice road summer

Take the driving skills of the reality series “Ice Road Truckers” and add one stoic dose of Liam Neeson and you’ve got “The Ice Road,” which premiered Friday on Hulu. The adventure flick involves a collapse in a diamond mine, the miners trapped inside and the man (Neeson) who’s willing to steer his ginormous rig over frozen water to attempt a rescue mission. Crank up the AC temporarily!

Hot kindness summer

There is a better way to be a human being, and he shares a name with an Apple TV+ series. “Ted Lasso,” the fish-out-of-water sitcom about an American football coach (Jason Sudeikis) who’s drafted to lead a British soccer team returns for a second season on July 23 —the date that Lasso fans will resume their efforts to be more empathetic and encouraging, just like Ted. Only there’s a new sports psychologist for AFC Richmond who seems impervious to Ted’s charms and home-baked biscuits. She doesn’t like Ted? We’re gobsmacked!

Hot podcast summer

When Michael Che guested on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” recently, his segment was interrupted repeatedly by Dave Chappelle, who kept plugging his “The Midnight Miracle” podcast available on Luminary. What Chappelle was selling is worth the listening. “The Midnight Miracle” brings him together with his co-hosts, Talib Kweli and Yasiin Bey, and his famous friends from the comedy world and beyond for funny and though-provoking conversations interspersed with music. If you were a fly on the wall of Chappelle’s home, this is what you might hear.

Hot series finale summer

The last 10 episodes of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” start airing Aug. 12 on NBC, a too-short goodbye to one of the most underrated comedies in TV history. You can give all the glory to “The Office,” but the detectives of the Nine-Nine could go toe to toe with Dunder-Mifflin’s Scranton branch in terms of quirkiness, humanity and office romances and bromances. It’s hard to pick a favorite dynamic among the characters, but the irritated father-incorrigible son vibes between Captain Holt (Andre Braugher) and Det. Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) are sublime.

Hot musical comedy summer

Keegan-Michael Key and “Saturday Night Live’s” Cecily Strong lead a star-studded cast in “Schmigadoon!,” an AppleTV+ series premiering July 16 that magically transports a backpacking couple to a land of 1940s musicals. Until Broadway reopens in September, this parody love letter to the power of musical theater should do nicely. And the premiere episode’s song “Corn Pudding”? Catchy!

Hot nostalgia tour

Hall & Oates are criss-crossing the nation with enough 1980s hits —”Maneater,” “Kiss on My List,” “I Can’t Go for That,” “You Make My Dreams Come True,” etc. — to make you want to trade your mom jeans for spandex leggings. As if they weren’t enough top-40 goodness, their opening acts are Squeeze, still pouring a cup of “Black Coffee in Bed” all these years later, and K.T. Tunstall, whose “Suddenly I See” is immortalized as the anthem of “The Devil Wears Prada.”

Hot all-female, all-Muslim punk band summer

A British import now airing on the NBC streaming spinoff Peacock, “We Are Lady Parts” would be notable alone for defying stereotypes about Muslim women. But this sitcom about an all-female, all-Muslim aspiring rock band is a gem of both representation and laughs, thanks to characters like Amina, a shy doctoral candidate in microbiology whose complaints about a guy she calls “Bashir with the good beard” inspires a song.

Hot documentary summer

While Woodstock has become synonymous with epic music gatherings, the Harlem Cultural Festival of 1969 is finally about to get the pop-culture recognition it deserves. “Summer of Soul: (…Or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised),” directed by the Roots drummer Questlove, will hit theaters and Hulu on July 2. It chronicles a mostly forgotten event that drew superstars like Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, the Fifth Dimension, Sly & the Family Stone and B.B. King. Using his vast knowledge of music, archival footage and interviews with performers and those who attended, Questlove has created a history lesson that’s also the best concert you’ve never seen before.

Hot Marvel summer

Once you’re all caught up with the summer streaming sensation “Loki” on Disney+, please turn your attention to two new films. “Black Widow,” the long-awaited star turn for Scarlett Johansson’s former KGB assassin Natasha Romanoff, makes its debut July 9. It’s followed by “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” set for Sept. 3 and starring Simu Liu (“Kim’s Convenience”) as the martial arts master of the title. All brought to you by the corporate global entertainment domination machine that is Marvel.

Hot biopic summer

“Respect,” starring Jennifer Hudson, arrives Aug. 13 at theaters, nearly three years to the day the world lost the Queen of Soul. Although Cynthia Erivo gave a fine performance earlier this year as Franklin in “Genius: Aretha” on the National Geographic network, the odds are good that Hudson, chosen by Franklin herself for the part, will be the definitive screen Aretha.

Hot fiction summer

Terry McMillan calls “The Other Black Girl” essential reading. Entertainment Weekly describes it as “‘The Devil Wears Prada’ meets ‘Get Out,’ with a little bit of ‘Black Mirror’ thrown in.” This debut novel by Zakiya Dalila Harris mixes office politics with suspense in its story of Nella Rogers, an editorial assistant who’s the only Black staffer at a noted publishing company. When Hazel, a new Black employee, is hired, things seem to be improving. But then Nella starts receiving ominous unsigned notes. Sounds like yet another reason to keep working from home.

Hot slow dance summer

After nearly four months on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, “Leave the Door Open” remains the song most likely to provoke a quiet storm on the dance floor. The hit single from Silk Sonic (aka Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak) may sound like a cover of a long-lost ‘70s classic R&B tune, but it’s a contemporary song that can make you forget the humidity long enough for “kissing, cuddling, rose petals in the bathtub, girl, lets jump in.”

CAMILLE A BROWN and DANCERS In “Mr. TOL E. RAncE”

Camille A. Brown is one of the busiest modern dance choreographers in New York these days – having recently choreographed “Once on This Island” and “Choir Boys” on Broadway, “Jesus Christ Superstar” for live network TV, and currently “Porgy and Bess” at the Met Opera, and “For Colored Girls…” off-Broadway at the Public Theater – is appeared with her company at the Joyce Theater this weekend, November 9-10 – three shows only – with the concert dance piece that arguably put her on the map, “Mr. TOL E. RAncE.” She created it in 2012 as the first part of her trilogy on Black identity, and it shows a remarkable degree of theatrical sophistication in service of its timely theme.

A hallmark of Brown’s work is the rigorous research she puts into its creation. This work was inspired by Spike Lee’s controversial film “Bamboozled,” Mel Watkins’s book “On the Real Side: A History of African American Comedy from Slavery to Chris Rock,” and Dave Chapelle’s “dancing vs shuffling” analogy. The piece juxtaposes contrasting historic film clips with contemporary extrapolations of those steps to illuminate stereotypes in Black culture, from minstrelsy to American TV sitcoms.

As the curtain rises, composer/pianist Scott Patterson simulates an old-time movie pianist at the grand piano on stage right, playing ragtime with the virtuosity and assurance of a past master of the keyboard, as cleverly animated credits by Isabela Dos Santos roll out across the rear curtain (set design by Philip Trevino) and lighting by Burke Wilmore, establish a hyperbolically theatrical, low-budget, turn-of-the-20th-century show palace.

In “Act One: What It Is,” the first of its two acts, the hour-long dance, Brown riffs on the minstrel show tradition with ancient film clips, projected behind lively dancing, which brings the dancing to life, excavating steps form early vaudeville and minstrel show routines and accelerating them to lightning speed or retarding them to super-slow motion to capture the emotions they inspire. Her stellar cast is adept at maintaining whatever difficult pace she throws them.

After a gently gestural solo by Timothy Edwards, other men, one by one, join him; all are smartly dressed in gray suits with suspenders, black-and-white saddle shoes, and some with newsboy caps (costume design by Carolyn Meckha Cherry). They fall into unison and “beat it out” with legs and feet moving as fast as tap dancers’ in a smart pastiche of the stage dancing of antebellum showbiz, including broad facial expressions and physical comedy bits. Brown’s choices are comprehensive, and her wonderful dancers (Edwards, Quitan Arnold, Winston Dynamite Brown, Chloe Davis, Sarah Parker, Courtney Ross, Jay Staten, Maleek Washington, and herself), amplify them like the sterling dance/actors they are with vivid characterizations that suggest archetypes like the “happy Negro” and “obedient servant.”

Patterson’s entr’acte piano interlude is a marvel of virtuosity, running up and down the keyboard in dazzling cadenzas – a well-merited solo moment for him to shine. Then, in “Act Two: Change the Joke, Slip the Yoke,” the dancers are barefoot in brown slacks and long-sleeve tee-shirts. They start off doing vocal comedy patter with the same conviction of their dancing, while passing a hand-held mic among them. Dramaturgs Talvin Wilks and Kammilah Forbes have coached them well. The projected images now comprise a stream of familiar Black TV series – “Good Times,” “Fat Albert,” “The Jeffersons,” “Fresh Prince of Bel Air,” “Diff’rent Strokes,” all the way to “Black-ish.”

Brown makes her first appearance here in Act Two in a falling and rising solo that epitomizes the physical and emotional conflict of the dance – fast and furious, by turns subservient, joyful, angry, rebellious, coy, and defiant. The rear curtain parts into portals on either side of the center, from which dancers emerge and depart, and reveals a color-washed cyclorama behind. Patterson’s ragtime piano gets a brief respite in a section supplemented by record material by Patrick Doane, composed by Jonathan Melville Pratt, with media contributions from Michael Paul Britto, J. Michael Kinsey, and Stacey Muhammad.

At one point everyone leaves Edwards, sitting on the floor, and his matching video image appears. Both the live and video man do the same dance but with slightly different timings, as an analogy for the journey of the piece – then and now. After the cast has danced itself to exhaustion, surging back and forth in striking unison formations that sometimes remind you of a gang of rebel automatons, slaving at their tasks, all collapse on the floor, while Brown does a poignant solo like some kind of healing angel to a moving rendition of “It’s a Wonderful World.” And at the end of the solo, everyone stirs and starts to revive, as the final curtain slowly falls. The audience immediately rises in a spontaneous standing ovation, in sincere appreciation of the revelatory journey Brown’s taken us on, from overcoming the horrors of slavery through resurrection by persistence – an indestructibly resilient culture.

Buying music today might sound crazy but what are the economic benefits? Join me as I take you through the journey of music sales and the need for every Ghanaian to start buying music.

Buy Ghanaian music? Does this even sound right in this age where music is ubiquitous and easy to access? This era of free music downloads and streaming on the internet?

Well, for well-informed arts people who feel that there is grave labour producing content for consumption, and who understand the intricacies of copyright laws, purchasing is sacred.

But, to hip millennial who enjoys free downloads on the internet, it’s absolutely rubbish.

Research has shown that sales of legitimate cassettes and compact discs (CDs) have declined due to the internet piracy.

A 2004 study on ‘the effect of internet piracy on CD sales’ by Economists, Martin Peitz and Patrick Waelbroeck suggested that sales of CDs, which benefits musicians, saw a major decline between 2000 and 2001 due to internet piracy.

In 2001 alone, there was 10% decline in CD sales worldwide, causing a huge loss to the music industry.

How did it start?

Many musicians around the globe have made huge incomes from the sales of cassettes and CD. In the early 1980s, when cassette patronage was declining, CDs made a timely emergence on the market of music media.

Swedish Pop group ABBA and American singer-songwriter Billy Joel were the first musicians who made money from CD sales after releasing “The Visitors” and “52nd Street” albums respectively.

Let’s bring it down to Ghana. Highlife, Hiplife and Afrobeats musicians in the early 90s enjoyed massive sales boosts when CDs were introduced in the country.

I quite remember when my parents and older brothers used to rush to distribution vans to purchase CDs. CDs from Lumba Brothers (Daddy Lumba and Nana Acheampong), Daasebre Gyamenah, Paa Solo, A.A.A (Akwasi Ampofo Agyei), K.K Kabobo, Amakye Dede, Obuoba J.A. Adofo, Dr Paa Bobo, and other superstars in the 1990s would not pass by without finding their way into sound systems in my household.

Even though cassettes were still selling in the late 1990s and early 200s, CDs had its way through, putting smiles on musicians’ faces. CDs gave musicians direct cash and value for their midnight toils. Plus, it in the long run also contributed to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

But around 2004-2006, the music business model changed. The music purchasing business switched from distribution vans to online and offline piracy.

More online music blogs that make music available to its subscribers and daily/monthly visitors emerged. Hubs and portals for music piracy grew in numbers, set up by internet savvy, music-loving young Ghanaians who saw it as a niche to explore and exploit in outwitting unemployment.

The outcome?

Artistes felt the impact in their pockets and bank accounts. Many veteran musicians, who could have made money from direct sales, legal online stores like iTunes and Spotify and other royalty sources, have rather suffered the consequences.

Amina Ibrahim, the wife of late Highlife musician Daasebre Gyamenah, had to beg Ghanaians for financial support to help the musician’s family. Before the death of Highlife legend Jewel Ackah, he had to rely on former President John Dramani Mahama and a few industry people for financial support. Hiplife star Omanhene Pozo died of a brain tumour because he couldn’t afford a surgery.

These are just a few instances.

There are a bunch of one-time hitmakers who find it very difficult to afford a square meal.

This is happening because free music downloads have taken over from the tradition of music purchasing.

A lot of Ghanaian musicians, including Volta Regime Music Group owner Edem and Zylofon Music/Burniton Music Group artiste Stonebwoy have felt the sting of the download culture.

In 2017, Stonebwoy complained bitterly about some Ghanaian music blogs unlawfully putting musicians’ hard work up for free downloads and making double profits from the venture, which inflicts heavy losses on the artiste.

Stonebwoy admitted that some of though some of the musicians might not be able to take court action, due to how unusual the practice is for such circumstances, they would find other alternatives to teach the culprits lessons.

The way forward

In order to avoid the above crises, we as Ghanaians need to change our mindsets. Our attitudes too.

It’s time we say no to music piracy and subscribe to legal online music stores. We have to subject our music acquisition habits to high standards without compromise.

Some people may argue that people without access to the internet may not be able to purchase Ghanaian music online. The truth is, music distribution vans still exist. CDs are still being sold at concerts and album launches.

If we are ready to support the industry by avoiding piracy, there are so many ways we can have access to the works of the artists we claim to love.

We can eliminate the excuses if we really, truly care.

The denouement

In 2013, a piece of research by the Musicians’ Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) showed that the music industry contributes to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Ghana

The research, led by the union’s president, Bice “Obour” Osei Kuffour conducted an extensive and in-depth probe into the music industry's financial strength as well as its relevance to the nation’s wealth.

According to Obour, Ghana music alone contributes less than 1% (representing 190 million per annum) to Ghana’s GDP.

In an interview in 2016, he stated: “With scientific proof, we know music contributes less than 1% to Ghana’s economy but if you put a figure to it it’s about 190 million per year. This is proven by the quantitative study. This is not Obour just saying something, there’s proof to show.

“So now if we are talking to the government, you can state that music employs about 40,000 people. About 20% of these people practice music part-time and 80% do this full time. This is a foundation for development. So if a musician says nothing is being done it’s probably because that musician doesn’t understand what it takes to develop. I think we should all add up and educate our musicians.”

Even though the figures may look disappointing, it’s imperative to know and understand that the more purchases of our music we make, the greater the industry’s propensity to contribute to Ghana’s wealth and development.

Want to see our musicians grow? We must be ready to put our monies where our mouths are. Let’s get to work and do the right thing.

Something has to give.
