The Stroke

In 2001 there are two things that are surprising from the city of New York. First, of course, the collapse of the WTC event but I'm not going to talking about it here. But one thing more, namely the band whose name is The Strokes. Who the hell The Strokes?New York is famous for its diverse communities, as well as five members of The Strokes this. The lead singer, Julian Casablancas is actually not an American original.Bokapnya, John Casablancas (Yap! modeling agency owner that!) Comes from Spain, while Julian's mother was Miss Denmark all these years .. You could say Julian is frontmannya The Strokes, besides him the oldest (23 August 1978), Julian is a songwriter for band. Fabrizio Moretti (2/6/80) is the drummer of The Strokes, although for a while Fab was replaced by Matteo Romano because of a broken hand Fab.Nikolai Fraiture (13/11/79), the bass player, known as the Quite Stroke. Although rarely open your mouth, which bleed France Nikolai expertise not doubt. The Strokes have two guitarists that if I say have the same ability. Albert Hammond Jr., was born in April 1980, bokapnya alias Albert Hammond Sr. was a singer who in 1972 had a hit called It Never Rains In Southern California. Lastly, the youngest member Nick Valensi (16/01/81) French descent. Perhaps the match is called Baby Stroke?

The story of The Strokes started since Nick and Fab Julian met while he was still 15 years in New York's Drake School. When it is Nick's younger brother Julian's class two years younger. Julian immediately amazed at Nick who already play the guitar since age six. While Albert met Julian when they were both at a boarding school in Switzerland, as well as Nikolai who met Julian at a grammar school. Do not feel like studying at elite schools, Julian decided to quit, followed by Nick. They decided to get serious in music channels

since 2000

they also began to frequently perform at various places, like The Acme, Baby Jupiter and Arlene Grocery. But their appearance at the Mercury Lounge was the one who brings good luck. Ryan Gentles, the manager of the Mercury Lounge, send them a demo tape to Geoff Travis, the record label Rough Trade. Rough Trade cs Julian was flown to London and agreed to release their single, The ModernNew Musical Express. American record companies also became interested in The Strokes, but ultimately chose RCA Julian cs, k Age. The single received a good reception from English society, the Strokes were finally finished the front cover of tabloid arena is just a label that does not mind when Julian cs says if they do not want to make a video clip (except when taken from their live performances.)

The album Is This It was released in 2001 and the world also are in the grip of The Strokes! At least Europe and America. Very sensual album that covers this (circulating in Indonesia is an album with different cover) received an award from Q 5/5yaitu full value, while the NME readers chose as the best album of 2001. The Strokes music reminds us of the 70s punk like The Clash RamonesThe, but given a modern touch and of course the strong expertise of its members also gave its own value on this album. For example, the opening song, Is This It, we are immediately greeted with a proper bass Nikolai can or thumbs up, Nick's guitar solo at The Modern Age, Albert solo guitar and drums at the Last Nite Fab in New York City Cops. Do not forget, the sound of Julian which may sound long but it brings its own atmosphere in each song. From the lazy style of Is This It, cheerful at Someday arrived in Trying Your Luck that sounds really weld. Aja Honestly, I've never bored ngedengerin this album, perhaps one of the best albums I've ever heard.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and then ..

Appearance of its members also reinforced the music of The Strokes. Sometimes - sometimes they like to use grooming neat suit and tie, but underneath that super celan faded jeans and Converse shoes. When Julian also gig ever use the full jacket-style singer in the 40s.

Although keliatannya origin, either in appearance or the words (Albert never said if they were gay?!), Julian cs successfully shows that the wealth they have is not the most important thing to pursue success in the music world. The Strokes have a clear attitude in music, although they say their music is old-fashioned, they are persistent and proved equal to their music, very creative right? Of course, solidarity is also important band, I can not imagine if one member of The Strokes is replaced. Well like he says "Do you know about the importance of The Hug? The band That stays together together.Similarly hugs, hugs That the band together fights together.

Cyrus intends to take a musical hiatus after completing Can't Be Tamed in order to explore a variety of musical genres and develop a sound befitting her tastes.[1] Cyrus stated that her music isn't inspiring her the way it should be, and hopes Can't Be Tamed will be her last pop album.[1] "The more I make music that doesn't truly inspire me, the more I feel like I'm blending in with everyone else", she said.[2] Cyrus originally desired for a new, more rock inclined sound for her music.[3] She later revealed Can't Be Tamed contained music influenced by pop singer Lady Gaga and possessed tecnho qualities.[4] "It was a natural progression for her," said Abbey Konowitch, general manager of Hollywood Records.[5] He commented that the album was more dance-pop than originally intended. "But it feels very comfortable for her, and it feels very comfortable in terms of the state of contemporary music".[6]

Cyrus believed the summer 2010 release was appropriate because it was "definitely a good summer CD. It's good to blast in your car".[4] The album was first released on June 18, 2010 in Germany and then on June 21, 2010 in the United States.[7][8] Unlike Cyrus' and Hollywood Records' previous albums, Can't Be Tamed will be released using a day-and-date format, following a new licensing deal with Universal Music Group in Europe.[5] Konowitch presented the album at its earliest stage to representatives of Universal Music Group in Europe in order to speak of the new licensing deal that enabled day-and-day for its release; the approval allowed for them to commence global marking plan earlier than usual.[6] "Normally our records are staggered throughout the world because of the availability of the artist. It's unusual for us to have the time and the music far enough in advance to do that," he said.[6] A standard edition, containing only an audio CD, and a deluxe edition, containing an audio CD and a DVD, will be released. The DVD will contain previously unreleased footage from Cyrus' concert at The O2 Arena in London, England, which was part of her first world tour, the 2009 Wonder World Tour. It contains nineteen live performances and backstage interviews with Cyrus.[6] The album artwork was revealed on May 7, 2010 through Cyrus' official website.[9]

Development

"This record was good for me. I think every album has been almost like a little bit of therapy to just get out what you think and what you feel. I think this is the most honest a record of mine has been. I think this record shows a different maturity in me, a different light but it's also still being the people my fans can relate to. I'm a spiritual person but my main religion that people ask me is the core of what I do and what my songs are about is love. And that's, I think, what this world is lacking and what it's all about."[10]

— Cyrus explaining the concept behind and themes on Can't Be Tamed.

Cyrus told Billboard magazine that she does not have a formal songwriting process and instead takes notes on her cellphone and the journal she stores in her computer.[11] She said that she does not listen to pop music, and that her "13-year-old self would have beaten up [her] 17-year-old self" for being "a sellout". Nonetheless, she stated that the music on the album is meaningful to her.[11]

"Liberty Walk", co-written by Cyrus, Antonina Armato, Tim James, John Fasse, Michael Mcginnis, and Nick Scapa, is about someone who finds the courage to leave an abusive relationship.[11] Cyrus, Armato, James, Paul Neumann, and Marek Pompetzki composed "Can't Be Tamed", the album's title track, which was written about being trapped and people observing her. The song, according to her, bears a theme of "breaking out and feeling free."[12] Cyrus recorded a cover version of Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", from their 1988 album Open Up and Say... Ahh!,[13] after hearing a crowd of people singing along to it. She deemed it "a classic" and one of her favorite songs. "I feel like the way the music industry is today really shelters kids and they aren't exposed to songs as honest and real as this one." Cyrus consulted the lead singer of Poison, Bret Michaels, who helped Cyrus analyze "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" and then add her "own flare and edge".[13] Michaels said the band receives numerous requests to cover the song and is always nervous about granting permission. "And I gotta tell you something. She nailed the song," he told MTV.[14] He added that Cyrus was "one of the few musicians" that could "give ["Every Rose Has Its Thorn"] her own flare and and make it sound good". Michaels sings backup on the cover.[14] Cyrus conceived "Robot" in December 2009 in London, while traveling on the Wonder World Tour; it describes a desire to escape "the form and the machine everyone thinks you should be".[15] Cyrus wrote the song "My Heart Beats for Love" for her gay hairdresser, one of her best friends. It is an attempt to persuade audiences to not discriminate against homosexuals and "be open to the world".[10]
Recording

Can't Be Tamed was recorded as Cyrus traveled the world, largely due to the Wonder World Tour. In December 2009, she begun the recording process in London, England.[11] Album producer John Shanks, who previously produced Cyrus' hit single "The Climb", affiliated with Cyrus for the album and, in order to do so, navigated via airplane to different locations. Shanks would repeatedly travel to London in order to fulfill recording and writing sessions with Cyrus. Then, he would return to Los Angeles, California to continue further work on the tracks.[11] The head of A&R at Hollywood Records, Jon Lind, said, "John spent quite a bit of time, God bless him [...] He was really a soldier and a world traveler for going to do this creative thing in between Miley's schedule."[11]

Other producers Cyrus had previously worked with also appear on the album — Antonina Armato and Tim James, both of who produced Cyrus' hits "See You Again" and "7 Things".[11] Cyrus described the environment during the recording process with Armato to be warm: "I call Antonina 'Mommy' because she's my second mom. No one could ever understand the relationship we have. I've been working with her for four years and every day I go into the studio and we just sit around and eat cupcakes and talk and I tell her everything about my life. I think that's why we make good music together."[11] The finished product results in a variety of dance beats and synths, but Cyrus believed the sound was secondary to the personal lyrics therein.[11]
