<p>Believe it or not, spring is already on its way with the 20<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;March marking the official first day of spring for the UK. If you need a little something to put a spring in your step and help you welcome the new season, we’ve got just the thing. We’ve picked six albums that embody the light, airy, and optimistic feeling that spring provokes in us. Expect sunny music with a few showers here and there that will nudge you out of your winter hibernation.</p>



<h2>Minnie Riperton –&nbsp;Come to My Garden&nbsp;(1970)</h2>

<p>Want to know what an angel sounds like? They sound like Minnie.&nbsp;<em>Come to My Garden</em>&nbsp;takes sappy and sugary to a new level on this smooth soul album but we love it. Minnie’s debut album combines powerful vocals with dreamy orchestral arrangements to create an ethereal flowery piece. You may be familiar with the opener ‘Les Fleurs’ as it was rediscovered by Gen-Z on TikTok a few years back.</p>



<p><strong>Why it sings spring:&nbsp;</strong>The ultimate spring album. Like a true hippie child, on ‘Les Fleurs’ Minnie delights in the flower power that spring brings singing, “Ring all the bells, sing and tell the people everywhere that the flower has come/Light up the sky with your prayers of gladness and rejoice for the darkness is gone”. To use Minnie’s turn of phrase on ‘Close Your Eyes and Remember’ the album is as “sweet as morning dew, and sounds a lot like springtime”.</p>



<p><strong>The perfect soundtrack for:&nbsp;</strong>A fruit-filled picnic in the park – this album longs to be listened to whilst you laze about on a red checked blanket.</p>



<h2>Madonna –&nbsp;Ray of Light&nbsp;(1998)</h2>

            <img class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Madonna-by-Mario-Testino-.jpg" srcset="" data-srcset="https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Madonna-by-Mario-Testino-.jpg 1448w, https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Madonna-by-Mario-Testino--768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Madonna-by-Mario-Testino--1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Madonna-by-Mario-Testino--1366x1366.jpg 1366w" sizes="100vw" alt="">
            
        </figure>

	</div>




<p><sub><sup>Image Credit: Madonna</sup></sub></p>



<p><em>Ray of Light</em>&nbsp;is often considered Madonna’s magnum opus and one of the best trip hop and electronica albums of all time. At times daintily ambient and in other moments a euphoric eruption of electronic sound, the album is a hypnotic genre-bending piece that blew away critics and fans in the 90s and stands the test of time.</p>



<p><strong>Why it sings spring:&nbsp;</strong>Spiritual, meditative, and introspective, with the sound and lyrics of&nbsp;<em>Ray of Light</em>&nbsp;inspired by Madonna embracing Kabbalah, her study of Hinduism and Buddhism, and her daily practice of Ashtanga yoga<strong>&nbsp;</strong>&#8211; healing is evident on the album. You’ll find Madonna singing “Let the water wash over you” on ‘Swim’ and “Now I find I&#8217;ve changed my mind/This is my religion” on ‘Drowned World/Substitute for Love’ as well as the trancey repetition throughout the album the cleansing experience you need to embrace spring.</p>



<p><strong>The perfect soundtrack for:&nbsp;</strong>A great spring morning album. And after a big night out&nbsp;<em>Ray of Light</em>&nbsp;will get you out of bed and have you feeling (at least a little more) refreshed.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>SZA –&nbsp;SOS&nbsp;(2022)</h2>



	<div class="content-image">

        <figure>

            <img class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/SZA-by-Daniel-Sannwald.jpg" srcset="" data-srcset="https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/SZA-by-Daniel-Sannwald.jpg 1200w, https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/SZA-by-Daniel-Sannwald-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/SZA-by-Daniel-Sannwald-1080x1080.jpg 1080w" sizes="100vw" alt="">
            
        </figure>

	</div>




<p><sub><sup>Image Credit: SZA</sup></sub></p>



<p>We’ve had time to fully appreciate&nbsp;<em>SOS</em>&nbsp;now the hype around the album has died down a bit and we can confirm it’s one of the best albums from last year. Fans went crazy over SZA’s sophomore LP after having waited since CTRL was released in 2017 for new music. Delicately combining hip hop, R&amp;B, pop, and even a little grunge,&nbsp;<em>SOS</em>&nbsp;is SZA’s most daring project yet and sees the singer experimenting with her sound. The payoff was huge with critical acclaim for the album, several of the songs trending on TikTok, achieving number one in the US Billboard 200, and high rankings in the charts globally.</p>



<p><strong>Why it sings spring:</strong>&nbsp;Sometimes sweet and sometimes salty, SZA sings about heartbreak and murder in a honey voice. Though it’s a nocturnal-sounding album it’s also warm and romantic making it ideal for a spring evening. It’s an album that encourages change through its flirtations with other genres and is just the refresh we need this season.</p>



<p><strong>The perfect soundtrack for:&nbsp;</strong>Doing some much-needed selfcare to. Run a hot bath, grab your creams, face masks, and put on the kettle and relax to SZA’s heavenly voice. Heartbroken queens, we’re looking at you especially.</p>



<h2>Janelle Monáe –&nbsp;The ArchAndroid&nbsp;(2010)</h2>



	<div class="content-image">

        <figure>

            <img class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/The-ArchAndroid-by-Andrew-Zaeh.jpg" srcset="" data-srcset="https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/The-ArchAndroid-by-Andrew-Zaeh.jpg 1425w, https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/The-ArchAndroid-by-Andrew-Zaeh-768x763.jpg 768w, https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/The-ArchAndroid-by-Andrew-Zaeh-1080x1073.jpg 1080w, https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/The-ArchAndroid-by-Andrew-Zaeh-1366x1357.jpg 1366w" sizes="100vw" alt="">
            
        </figure>

	</div>




<p><sub><sup>Image Credit: Janelle Monáe</sup></sub></p>



<p>Janelle’s debut album is an explosion of soul, psychedelia, pop, and R&amp;B all wrapped into one tight, glossy, perfectly produced album. A concept album like no other, Monáe takes elements of Afrofuturism and science fiction to tell the story of Cindi Mayweather, an android messiah, who falls in love with a human Anthony Greendown during the revolution she leads to free robots from the human’s oppression.&nbsp;<em>The ArchAndroid&nbsp;</em>dwells on love, identity, and politics using the oppression of androids as a metaphor for the oppression black people face in America. Unsurprisingly, the album received widespread acclaim from critics, with many dubbing it the best album of 2010 and even of the decade. The album also received a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary R&amp;B album.</p>



<p><strong>Why it sings spring:&nbsp;</strong>Those flowery, grand yet tranquil overtures that spilt the album bloom like a blossom tree.<strong>&nbsp;</strong>Sonically upbeat and extremely melodic throughout, the lyrics paint a different picture – just as spring is simultaneously bright but drizzly. Janelle advocates for change, freedom, and a brighter future using light and catchy melodies and a witty Sci-Fi tale to deliver an important message.</p>



<p><strong>The perfect soundtrack for:&nbsp;</strong>With Janelle’s rapid and energetic delivery on ‘Dance or Die’, ‘Faster’, ‘Locked Inside’, and ‘Neon Valley Street’, there’s no way you’ll be able to sit still to this album. We recommend a refreshing run through a budding garden, a tad of spring cleaning, or just a full-blown bedroom dance party.</p>



<h2>Big Thief –&nbsp;Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe&nbsp;(2022)</h2>



	<div class="content-image">

        <figure>

            <img class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Big-Thief-by-Adrianne-Lenker.jpg" srcset="" data-srcset="" sizes="100vw" alt="">
            
        </figure>

	</div>




<p><sub><sup>Image Credit: Big Thief</sup></sub></p>



<p>If you haven’t yet listened to Big Thief, this spring is the perfect time to do so. The indie rock band from Brooklyn makes music that feels like getting a warm hug from a friend. Their fifth album from last year is no different.&nbsp;<em>Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe</em>&nbsp;was highly praised by the music world with it receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album and many publications giving it a spot on their album of the year list. Don’t be put off by the folky and country inspired sound of&nbsp;<em>Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe</em>– it&#8217;s full of peaceful pastoral lullabies which will melt any country hater’s heart.</p>



<p><strong>Why it sings spring:</strong>&nbsp;Evoking nostalgic images of falling asleep during long cross-country drives, warmer evenings, the smell of fresh blossom, and touching letters from people you miss, the album is soft, gentle, and fragile in places but with a hidden strength and hopefulness.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The perfect soundtrack for:&nbsp;</strong>If you need a calm atmosphere to get some work down Big Thief will provide it. Alternatively, this would make a great soundtrack for a leisurely stroll through your local park.</p>



<h2>Kelela –&nbsp;Raven&nbsp;(2023)</h2>



	<div class="content-image">

        <figure>

            <img class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/kelela-by-Hendrik-Schneiderj.pg_.jpg" srcset="" data-srcset="https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/kelela-by-Hendrik-Schneiderj.pg_.jpg 1500w, https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/kelela-by-Hendrik-Schneiderj.pg_-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/kelela-by-Hendrik-Schneiderj.pg_-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/kelela-by-Hendrik-Schneiderj.pg_-1366x1366.jpg 1366w" sizes="100vw" alt="">
            
        </figure>

	</div>




<p><sub><sup>Image Credit: Kelela</sup></sub></p>



<p>Kelela’s&nbsp;<em>Raven&nbsp;</em>seamlessly<em>&nbsp;</em>encompasses elements of R&amp;B, electronic, breakbeat, and ambient pop to create a unique listening experience that gently guides its listener on a journey. The singer’s second album came out in February and is already set to be one of our favourites of the year. In an interview with&nbsp;<em>Vulture</em>&nbsp;Kelela said of the album: “I’ve always led with tenderness and vulnerability. Those are staples I would say on this record. But I’m also setting boundaries in a way that I’ve never set them. And that’s for real life and also for song life”. That vulnerability is clear throughout the whole record.</p>



<p><strong>Why it sings spring:&nbsp;</strong>Much like the change from winter to spring, on&nbsp;<em>Raven</em>&nbsp;Kelela emerges from dark watery depths transporting us to a serene healing space<em>.</em>&nbsp;Setting the mood with the hazy and mellow ‘Washed Away’, Kelela takes us on an aquatic journey through the tranquil dance tracks leaving the listener feeling lighter and at peace.</p>



<p><strong>The perfect soundtrack for:&nbsp;</strong>With its lush ethereal production,&nbsp;<em>Raven</em>&nbsp;creates a soothing and ambient atmosphere for spring evenings as the nights get warmer. Play it at the afters or before you sleep and let it wash over you.</p>

<p>With Grammy winners Lizzo, Beyoncé, and Kim Petras all shouting out the love and creativity that the LGBTQ+ community has always radiated at the Grammys this week we thought it appropriate to give recognition to some of the queer artists that have made the music that we love today possible. We’ll give you the rundown on <strong>eight </strong>impactful queer artists and why their music, style, and activism make them our idols.</p>



<h2>Madonna</h2>

<p>Kim Petras made us all tear up with her moving acceptance speech at the Grammys after making history as the first transgender woman to win Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with ‘Unholy’. One of the people she thanked was Madonna “for fighting for LGBT rights”. Madonna has always made it abundantly clear that she is an advocate for gay rights and has been dubbed the “greatest gay icon” by many. She acknowledged on the Ellen DeGeneres show in 2010 that without the gay community she wouldn’t have a career. By submerging aspects of gay subculture in her ever current and changing sound and image she has brought gay culture them into the mainstream and has been heralded as responsible for the breaking down of social barriers and promoting acceptance.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p>Just one example of this is the incredible video for ‘Erotica’. It’s one of Madonna’s best looks. Madonna is a crop-welding sexy dominatrix dressed in a leather dress with a mask and tie presenting gay culture as something beautiful. The video includes everything from bondage to drag to gay men and women kissing to group sex and does so with taste. <em>Erotica</em> is important for many LGBTQ+ fans as it doesn’t shy away from taboos and represented gay people like themselves when not many were visible in the media. Several of the songs on <em>Erotica</em> also address the AIDs crisis to which Madonna lost two close friends. Madonna was one of the first in the entertainment industry to advocate in response to the epidemic in the 1980s.</p>



<p>Madonna’s sexuality has been speculated for decades. She’s been linked romantically to women since the the 80s and whilst she neither confirms nor denies these she told the LGBT magazine <em>The Advocate</em> that she believed &#8220;everybody has a bisexual nature&#8221; in 1991. Recently she seemed to come out in a hinting TikTok that now has over 40M views.</p>

<h2>Prince</h2>

            <img class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Prince-by-Jeff-Katz.jpg" srcset="" data-srcset="https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Prince-by-Jeff-Katz.jpg 928w, https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Prince-by-Jeff-Katz-768x767.jpg 768w" sizes="100vw" alt="">

	</div>




<p>“When we lost Prince, I decided to dedicate my life to making positive music”, Lizzo emotionally revealed in her acceptance speech for Record of the Year at the Grammys this week. In the Prince spirit, she advised her fans watching around the world to “stay true to themselves”.</p>



<p>The androgynous, flamboyant, purple-loving, feather-boa-adorned, heel-wearing, master of sex appeal did that pretty well. His flirtations with feminine fashion and make-up both on and off stage blurred the slowly crumbling gender binary in the 80s and he became a sex icon for all to lust after. Prince never confirmed his sexuality to the public toying with fans on tracks such as the funky ‘Controversy’ where he asks the question “Am I black or white? / Am I straight or gay?” but gives no answer.</p>



<p>Despite this modern musical queer pioneers such as Gaga, Janet Monáe, and Frank Ocean have all cited the artist as impactful on their work. After Prince’s death in 2016, Frank Ocean paid tribute to the artist writing, “He was a straight black man who played his first televised set in bikini bottoms and knee-high heeled boots, epic. He made me feel more comfortable with how I identify sexually simply by his display of freedom from and irreverence for obviously archaic ideas like gender conformity.”</p>



<p>His music (when he wasn’t making us sob with heart-breaking ballads like ‘Purple Rain’ or ‘When Doves Cry’) is uplifting and jubilant with the grooviest guitar riffs and campy vocals. It acts as a comfort for many for don’t fit with societal norms like himself – for that he is undeniably a gay icon.</p>

<h2>Dusty Springfield</h2>



	<div class="content-image">

        <figure>

            <img class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://www.voirfashion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Dusty-by-John-dGreen.jpg" srcset="" data-srcset="" sizes="100vw" alt="">

        </figure>

	</div>




<p>Though a peroxide blonde beehive rocking icon of the Swinging Sixties who was loved by many, Dusty Springfield’s life was fraught with tragedy. Her childhood was troubled, and she struggled throughout her lifetime with addiction and mental health issues. The British blue-eyed soul singer’s sexuality was one point of anxiety for the artist in the start of her career. Although the Beatles were singing ‘All You Need Is Love’, the world was unaccepting of gay relationships in the 60s and Dusty feared she may lose her career if she was outed.</p>



<p>From 1966 to the early 1970s, Springfield lived with her girlfriend Norma Tanega, ‘You’re Dead’ singer and songwriter for Dusty. Growing tired of the public speculation, she boldly told the <em>Evening Standard</em> in 1970: “Many other people say I&#8217;m bent, and I&#8217;ve heard it so many times that I&#8217;ve almost learned to accept it &#8230; I know I&#8217;m perfectly as capable of being swayed by a girl as by a boy. More and more people feel that way and I don&#8217;t see why I shouldn&#8217;t”. Thus, she became one of the first out lesbians in mainstream pop.</p>



<p>That courageous and self-assured statement is why we love Dusty. In her music, her sophisticated and classy vocals drip sex appeal and suave soulfulness. If you’re looking for a place to start <em>Dusty In Memphis</em> is a timeless album that will wrap you up with its dizzying orchestral instrumentals and Dusty’s incredibly dramatic lush vocals.</p>



<p>It’s easy to see why by the 90s she had become renowned in queer culture as a camp icon. Her over-the-top hair, dramatic eye looks, and colourful clothes became an influence for many drag queens and despite her untimely death from cancer in 1999 she lives on in our hearts as an intrepid performer.</p>

</div></figure>



<h2>Frankie Knuckles</h2>



<p>Dubbed the Godfather of House, all contemporary dance music would be vastly different if not for the late great Frankie Knuckles. Electronic music fans may be unaware that house music got its start in the black queer community. Knuckles moved from New York to Chicago in the 70s and became a regular DJ at the club Warehouse where he mixed disco, soul, and Euro synth-disco to make the genre warehouse – shorted to house. The club was initially for black gay men, like Knuckles and owner and fellow DJ Larry Levan, but its growing popularity began attracting white straight audiences.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe title="Frankie Knuckles - Live at Ministry of Sound, 1991" width="600" height="338" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/L-JwoeXqd4c?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>Knuckles has been recognised a major component in the sound of EDM. He was inducted into the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame in 1996, won a Grammy Award for Remixer of the Year, Non-Classical in 1997, and even has a street in Chicago where Warehouse once stood named after him. After his passing in 2014, Obama was among those to pay tribute to the artist.</p>



<p>One of Frankie’s greatest sets, <em>Live at the Ministry of Sound 1991</em>, was recorded as a bootleg and is available to listen to on YouTube. If you want to see Mr Knuckles in action his Boiler Room set from 2013 is something wonderful to behold. Intoxicating house keys lie on top of repetitive beats that seep into your soul filling it with total warmth whilst fractions of sentences will flood you with a curious nostalgia &#8211; it’s clear he is the master of the floor.</p>

<p>You may not have heard of Big Freedia but you’ve definitely heard her voice – on the beginning of Beyoncé’s 2016 single ‘Formation’ where she taunts, “I did not come to play with you hoes, ha-ha. I came to slay, bitch! I like cornbread and collard greens, bitch! Oh yas, you besta believe it,”. The New Orleans rapper has been credited with popularizing bounce music, which has been underground since its start in the 1990s. Bounce music is where twerking originated so it’s thanks to Freedia that we are all familiar with the infamous move today.</p>



<p>Freedia is a gay man who calls herself “gender non-conforming, fluid, non-binary” choosing to use both she/her and he/him pronouns believing that gender is on a spectrum.</p>



<p>The larger-than-life performer has been prolific in his collaborations working with RuPaul on his ridiculously fun fan favourite ‘Peanut Butter’, with Drake on his number-one hit ‘Nice for What’, Lizzo, Kesha, New Kids on the Block, Jordin Sparks, Naughty by Nature, and Boyz II Men. &nbsp;Most recently, she was sampled on Beyonce’s number-one hit ‘Break My Soul’ from that year. Outrageous, unapologetic, and full of energy – we could all do with being a bit more like Freedia.</p>

<p>Sylvester was given the moniker the ‘Queen of Disco’ in the late 70s, but the ‘Queen of Falsetto’ would also have been fitting. With his distinctive vocals and glamourous style, he was a shining star in the disco scene.</p>



<p>Born in Los Angeles, he found a love of singing through the gospel choir of his Pentecostal church but left after they expressed disapproval of his sexuality. He found himself at home among a group called the Disquotays made up of black cross-dressers and transgender women. In 1970, Sylvester moved to San Francisco where he joined the drag troupe the Cockettes whose shows were influenced by female blues and jazz singers Billie Holiday and Josephine Baker.</p>



<p>Sylvester’s success came with his second solo album <em>Step II</em> in 1978. The standout tracks are the two hit singles ‘You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)’ and ‘Dance (Disco Heat)’. ‘You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)’ encompass everything great about the genre with the racing bassline, electrifying synths, and high-pitched adlibs – it’s essential in any 70s mix.</p>



<p>The star campaigned against the spread of HIV/AIDS throughout the 80s but tragically passed from complications arising from the virus in 1988. He left all future royalties from his music to San Francisco-based HIV/AIDS charities continuing his compassion for the queer community even in death.</p>



<p>Sylvester’s influence can be heard in the works of RuPaul, New Order, and Jamiroquai, as well as plenty of modern nu-disco artist. Perhaps one of the greatest parts of his legacy is that he showed a generation of young black femme men that it was ok to be fabulous.</p>

<h2>SOPHIE</h2>

<p>As well as thanking Madonna in her emotional acceptance speech for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the Grammys last week, Kim Petras also thanked the “incredible transgender legends before me who kicked these doors open for me” when she became the first transwoman to win the award. She continued to highlight her friend Scottish DJ SOPHIE and thanked her for her support saying, “Thank you so much for your inspiration, SOPHIE. I adore you and your inspiration will always be in my music&#8221;.</p>



<p>The loss of SOPHIE was felt by the whole of the music world back in 2021 with everyone equally heartbroken and shocked by the news that the rising star had passed after falling from a rooftop in Athens whilst trying to snap a photo of the moon.</p>



<p>SOPHIE began her career shrouded in mystery. She once was famous for employing stand-ins to lip-sync at her gigs, which generated quite a buzz with fans dying to know her real identity. Her feminine bubble-gum tracks attracted a gay and female audience but she inexplicitly received hate from social media with some of the internet assuming her music was made by a cis man adopting a female stage name in order to appeal to a particular audience. With the music video for ‘It&#8217;s Okay to Cry’ in 2017 SOPHIE cleared the rumours of her identity and came out as a transwoman. SOPHIE appeared from the bust upwards in the video like an angel against the pink and blue cloud background with glossy berry lips and her now signature cropped ginger cut nude.</p>



<p>Though we were only graced with one album from the hyperpop artist, 2018’s <em>OIL OF EVERY PEARL&#8217;S UN-INSIDES, </em>already her influence on the genre is evident. Oscillating between heartfelt electropop ballads like ‘It’s Okay to Cry’ to the bass-heavy wonky ‘Ponyboy’ and then to the sublime pop bop ‘Immaculate’, she subverts the listener’s expectations at every turn keeping us enthralled.The album earned her a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album.</p>



<p>The now legendary producer worked with Charli XCX, Madonna, Vince Staples, Kim Petras, and Let&#8217;s Eat Grandma. Charli also dedicated her chart-topping album from last year, <em>CRASH</em>,to the singer. Although it’s hard to think about the opportunities her death cut her off from, we’re comforted knowing that she can never be forgotten, and her music will influence the next generation of pop artists and continue to inspire her contemporaries.</p>

<p>Christopher Edwin Breaux, better known as Frank Ocean, has undoubtedly changed the sound of hip hop and R&amp;B fusing a psychedelic soul sound into the genre that contemporaries and fans have been enchanted by.</p>



<p>Before he became a household name, Breaux went by the moniker Lonny Breaux writing songs for artists including Justin Bieber, Beyonce, John Legend, and Brandy in near anonymity.</p>



<p>It was in 2009 when joined Los Angeles-based hip hop collective Odd Future that he began to work on his own work fuelled by fellow Odd Futurer Tyler, the Creator and switched his name to Frank Ocean. Ocean’s debut studio album <em>Channel Orange</em> blew up in 2012. It received critical acclaim, debuted on the Billboard 200 at number two, earned six Grammy Award nominations, and sparked a lot of conversations about bisexuality.</p>



<p>In an open letter published on Tumblr, Ocean preemptively addressed speculation about his attraction in the past to another man as several of the songs on <em>Channel Orange</em> allude to. In the post, he thanked the man for his influence and referred to him as his first love. He also thanked his mother, saying, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what happens now, and that&#8217;s alright. I don&#8217;t have any secrets I need kept anymore&#8230; I feel like a free man.&#8221;</p>



<p>Beyoncé, Jay Z, Tyler, the Creator, and other members of OFWGKTA all voiced their support for the artist and commended him for his honesty. Queer hip hop fans around the world were elated by the news that the previously very heterosexually led genre now had a bisexual man as its spearhead.</p>

<h2>Summer of Soul (&#8230;Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) (2021)</h2>

<p>American musician, record producer, and filmmaker Questlove revealed to many a remarkable part of black history that had been previously glossed over with his documentary <em>Summer of Soul</em>. The concert film weaves together beautiful footage from the free Harlem Music Festival that took place over six weeks in 1961 with interviews from the people who attended and performed, who look back fondly over 50 years later.</p>



<p>It features soul-healing performances for Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, The 5th Dimension, The Staple Singers, Gladys Knight &amp; the Pips, Mavis Staples, Sly and the Family Stone, and The Chambers Brothers. <em>Summer of Soul</em> is a touching celebration of the amazing fashion, music, and culture in Harlem as well as an important political film that touches on race, class, and legacy.</p>



<p><strong>Where to watch: </strong>Disney +</p>



<h2>Matangi/Maya/M.I.A. (2018)</h2>

</div></figure>



<p><em>Madonna: Truth or Dare</em> is an important chapter in pop culture with many other documentaries, parodies, and reality TV shows taking notes from the film. It’s still one of the highest-grossing documentaries ever made. The film provides a deep look at Madonna’s relationships with her crew, then-boyfriend Warren Beatty, family, and friends whilst on her Blonde<em> Ambition</em> tour. Edited in a moody black-and-white whilst the performances are left in radiant colour, it’s a visually stunning film as well as an illuminating one. All hail the queen of pop.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Where to watch:</strong> you’ll have to buy a DVD of the one</p>

<p>Sparking heavy criticism from Amy Winehouse’s father, Mitch Winehouse, <em>Amy</em> pulls archival footage and personal testimonials to piece together a heart-wrenching but tender story of a talented beauty who departed too soon. Critically acclaimed yet controversial, everyone will have a different take on <em>Amy</em> which gives a portrait of the life and career of the British singer as she struggles with addiction, fame, the media, and her family. RIP Amy.</p>

<p>We see a softer side to the formidable pop icon Gaga in <em>Gaga: Five Foot Two</em>. The documentary follows Gaga in 2016 through the lead-up to <em>Joanna</em> and her Superbowl performance. From interactions with her fans, her struggles with chronic pain, intel into her feud with Madonna, the filming of <em>American Horror Story: Roanoke</em>, and her home life, there’s nothing that’s off the table in this unguarded revealing documentary.</p>



<p><strong>Where to watch: </strong>Netflix</p>

<p>Megastar Taylor Swift comes off as personable, smart, and down-to-earth in this emotional revealing documentary filmed over several years of the singer’s life. Starting from her <em>Reputation Stadium Tour</em> in 2018 it follows her journey up to her seventh studio album <em>Lover</em> in 2019. Tackling sensitive subjects with strength and grace such as her battle with body dysmorphia, her mother&#8217;s cancer diagnosis, the toxic internet culture, her sexual assault trial, self-esteem issues, and her decision to go public with her political views, Swift shows why she is an incredible role model for all young women.</p>

<h2>Selena Gomez: My Mind &amp; Me (2022)</h2>

</div></figure>



<p>A must-see for every Selenators or anyone who grew up watching the star on <em>Wizards of Waverley Place</em>. The documentary follows Selena Gomez through a six-year period of her career and reveals her struggles with fame and physical and mental well-being in the wake of her diagnosis with lupus and bipolar disorder. Praised for its mental health transparency the film is a raw and vulnerable look into the mind and life of Gomez. Emotional but ultimately uplifting – pass the tissues.</p>

<p><strong>The Upcoming Rihanna Documentary</strong>(2023 – hopefully!)</p>

<p>With over 1,000 hours of footage filmed over six and a half years, it’s no surprise that the editing of this documentary has taken so long and is still a work in progress. With the footage providing an up-close look at the rise of Rihanna’s billion-dollar empire Fenty, the singer at work in the studio, her relationship with Rocky, and RiRi’s experiences of new motherhood, we cannot wait to see it. It’s recently been sold to Amazon so hopefully we’ll be to watch soon.</p>



<p><strong>Where to watch</strong>: probably Amazon Prime</p>

</div></figure>



<p>This news comes shortly after Madonna shared a behind the scenes look at the writing process for the upcoming film in an hour-long Instagram Live session last week. She explained in the video that the movie will be about the “happy, sad, mad, crazy, good, bad and ugly” journey of her career while also being about her “struggle as an artist trying to survive in a man’s world”.</p>



<p> </p>



<p>This will be Madonna’s third film as director after 2008’s Filth and Wisdom and 2011’s WE. Rock and pop biopics are in demand at the moment after the huge successes of Elton John’s <em>Rocketman</em> and the Freddie Mercury film <em>Bohemian Rhapsody</em>, for which Rami Malek earned an Oscar.</p>



<p> </p>



<p>The yet-to-be-titled film will be produced by Amy Pascal, who worked on <em>The Post</em> and 2019’s <em>Little Women</em>, alongside Madonna, with Madonna’s associate Sara Zambreno and manager Guy Oseary on track to executive produce.</p>
