Art Angels Analysis

Two women from two different backgrounds have so much in common yet they are so different. One grew up in Houston, Texas while the other grew up in Saint Michael, Barbados. Even though these two women have had very different up bringing the one thing they have in common is their great voices. These two women’s background, musical style, and other career ventures make them both two of the best female artist in their field.

Women’s music came from radical, grassroots origins in the 1970s thanks to contributions by brave women, mostly lesbians (Mosbacher, 2002). These women used non-violent, peaceful force to forge their own way into the music industry. It was a peaceful yet political revolution of togetherness and liberation. It brought together women of different backgrounds who produced easy-listening, mellow harmonies played with lyrics filled with tumultuous

This song displays the traditional messages sent by male artists. What about female artists? What do their songs portray? Andsager and Roe’s findings give a good description. According to them, there are two kinds of female artists. The strong, more established female artists portray women as “fully equal.” These women are in their thirties at least, they are more established, and they dress in casual suits. They sang romance, female emancipation, and heartbreak like the rest, but they did not compromise their image in their videos. They use Trisha Yearwood as an example in her song Everybody Knows. The other type, were women who “fell into the lowest level on the consciousness scale.” They used Deana Carter’s song We Danced Anyway as an example. In this song she rolled on the beach in a wet t-shirt. Another one is Faith Hill’s song Breathe. In this song, Hill is seen rolling around in her bed sheets with no clothes on.

Kehinde Wiley is a New York based artist whose paintings focus on the themes of empowering black men and combining classical and contemporary styles.

In the fall of 2014, a close friend Kate introduced me to your music and at first I couldn't understand the meaning behind your words, the masks, and your complex ways of thinking, but as time went on I began to accept that almost no one can. There's a sort of mystery to what each lyric really means,

All throughout the song, MC Lyte emphasizes how she’s the best in the industry. “I’m the dopest female that you’ve heard thus far and I do get better, the voice gets wetter” (MC). Lyte conveys how her music is rare and innovative and her skills keep

Plato once opined “Music gives a soul to the Universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” This Greek philosopher knew what makes the world go around and he knew that a signal angelic note or a beautiful song could possibly change someone’s mood. Kazual(Casual) an Americans Got Talent: Semi-Finalist, took a page from Plato. They are currently touring nationwide. An opportunity arose to meet them at the 2016 Ohio State Fair. The compassion and pure love for music could be seen in their eyes as they belted out beautiful runs, breathtaking falsettos and perfectly executed harmonies. Music would not be where it is today without this constant drive to use music to touch peoples heart. Kazual strongly believe in covers of songs. They take artist songs and turn them into their own work of art, like Pentatonic. They are no way comparable to Lata Mangeshkar, but the few songs that they have done has impacted the melting pot we call Columbus Ohio. Country, jazz, blues, pop, classic rock and bluegrass are but a few genres of music Kazual has sung at various stands throughout of the fairgrounds.

Lead track “Alchemy”, for one, is a mesmerizing song, populated with cold samples and Jenkins’ malicious flow. Meanwhile, Donnie Trumpet’s horns give "Slumber” a golden hue on top of its already-soothing jazzy drums and organs. “40 Below”’s filtered piano samples (think Drake’s “Star67″) and lyrics of a relationship gone ‘cold’ are one of the more interesting ideas on this tape, and “P’s & Q’s” - helped by that beautiful guitar sample - is a brilliant two and a half minutes, even more so when you realize the extent that Jenkins focuses on those two letters in his lyrics. Wave[s] is fun at times,

While from the outside Rachel Platten’s album “Wildfire” which was top five on the Billboard 200 charts. Might look like a common pop album, it is really Platten experimenting with different styles to find what she wants her sound to truly be. Throughout the album Platten seems to have been using the different genres and styles that she had been influenced by to create the different sounds that are present throughout. Throughout "Wildfire" Platten goes from a mellow pop sound in “Speechless,” to a country feel in “Lone Ranger,” to mix of pop and R&B in “You Don’t Know My Heart.” Platten uses her summer hit “Fight Song” which took the charts by storm to include the classic pop sound that her fans came to love about her. Platten uses her duet with Andy Grammar “Hey Hey Hallelujah” to create a song that has the Rap bridge that is common in many pop duets, Platten also uses the song to show that she is not only a smooth and mellow performer but that she can also create a rougher sound with her music.

Accompanied only by the piano and the light sound of the drum, Sarah presents her moving voice with sophisticated techniques in Embraceable You. Her thick low notes, combining with heartfelt vibrato at the end of the phrases, makes you feel a sense of tenderness and sublime. After Jimmy Jones’ solo, her singing reaches a higher level. That “above” and the long note on “do” are her very moment of maternity. When she sings, you really believe that there are warm arms around you.

In a recent interview, Clark claimed that Masseduction could essentially be the thesis for the album with its tagline “I can’t turn off what turns me on”. With breathy moans and sinister guitars that conjure up visions of nails digging up and down someone’s back, the words “seduction” and “destruction” are not so subtly sung interchangeably -- simultaneously poking fun at the song’s overt sexuality and yet highlighting underlying darkness.

The music style of this album, has changed from her original group style of R&B to R&B and soul. The elements that was used was hip hop and Arabic. This album really made her the solo artist that she wanted to be. After Beyonce was becoming so successful as a solo artist, Destiny’s Child had decided to split up in 2004. In her next album, she played around with a few styles of music combined like styles and elements of the first album and funk. With her third album as a solo artist, “I am…..Sasha Fierce”, she has impacted the world in a very positive way. With this album, she accomplished to get 5 out of 8 Grammy Awards. In 2008, she combined pop with R&B, and with a lot of electro and Euro pop. This was her second album to sell way over eight million records. This album, landed her to take a tour in 2009, where she did over a hundred live

The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways.

In these songs she is not afraid to raise subjects that are forbidden as she sings with brutal honesty. She speaks of her body freely and exalts her capacity to love. She is
