To continue our theme of stories, we delve into a different medium of storytelling – music. Many musical artists choose to tell detailed stories through their song writing which could have personal, fictional, or political messages amongst many others. These stories are conveyed whilst still maintaining a beautiful sound and a pleasing lyrical arrangement which is something definitely worthy of applaud and recognition. In this article, four contributors discuss some of their favourite current musical storytellers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maja Metera<\/strong> <\/strong>On\nHalsey (Ashley Nicolette Frangipane) <\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I believe\nthat most of the artists use music as a form of therapy. In my opinion, to gain\nthe title of the storyteller is to be able to give the audience a feeling of\ncatharsis as well as connect with their experiences \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 making their music\ntherapeutic for listeners too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halsey’s fanbase consists of rebelled teenagers, “misfits”\nas she frequently calls them. She has created an alternative world to which\nthey can escape from the disappointing reality. Her first album Badlands<\/em>\n(2015) has been set in a fictional country of the same name \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 home to this insurgent\nyouth. She accompanied her lyrics with short movies instead of traditional\nmusic videos. Watched in order of release, they illustrate a complete storyline\nof making America a place for everyone. All that with a feminist, angry touch\nand a hint of love in the background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She made storytelling her signature move over the\nyears. Her second studio album Hopeless Fountain Kingdom<\/em> (2017) is based\nloosely on Shakespearian Romeo and Juliet. <\/em>Halsey twisted this classic\nlove story to tell her own, full of broken hearts, self-doubt and queerness. Thus,\nshe gave the audience something to cry to for two reasons. It can be because\nthe world is ruthless and deceitful place, but it does not affect them directly\n(catharsis) or because it has happened to them too, all in a beautiful frame of\nthe modern-day version of a classic.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halsey is my favourite storyteller because she made\nherself into a character each of those fables. She distinguishes her stage\npersona from Ashley. It is the most visible in her third album Manic<\/em>\n(2020). In this case the music videos play, yet again, the most important part creating\na dreamlike fairy-tale to the most meaningful lyrics in her career. It is a\nfairy-tale with a moral; you can be the greatest fabulist, but you cannot fake\nit forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ella\nRowe-Hall on Loyle Carner <\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With even the first mention of Loyle Carner’s name,\nwhat follows is his immediate association with storytelling; his use of jazzy,\nhip-hop and rap music to tell the excruciatingly heart provoking and raw stories\nhe obtains. Carner uses his music like therapeutic art, expressing\nhis heart ache, grief, and mental health issues especially. His music, with its contradicting and almost genre\nbreaking uniqueness truly reiterates the stories he tells, and his overriding use of socially\nconstructed boundaries arguably tells a story of a ground-breaking artist, refusing\nto conform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From his two released albums, Carner delves headfirst into immersive emotional thought, as all his songs brandish his ability as a poet and novelist. Within his first album \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffYesterday’s Gone,’ his song under the same title explores the pain and grief relating to the loss of his father. The track is one named and inspired by a song from his late father’s secret album, of which Carner felt resonated with him and his grief. The song and album name tell the story of a man struggling, but also about those we have lost and can no longer see but will always feel. For Carner, the song acts as a reminder that although grief is necessary, our late loved ones will not want it to tarnish us, but to help us harness our inner strength. Although yesterday is gone, another day brings another journey, another person to love and another way to experience life.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Loyle reiterates\nthe connection to his father with the track \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffSon of Jean,’ of\nwhich he commemorates the love for both his father but also his mother too. The song\nsamples the piano from his father’s secret album also, with his mum singing the track in\nthe background. In an interview, Carner expressed the importance of this and the track,\nand its way to tell a story of a family that once was,\nbut also the love his parents had and have for each other; Carner intertwining\nthem and it forever within his song, which will likely outlive them all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carner tells a story\nwith every chosen word, song and album. His music highlights family love crafted\nand weaved throughout his music as a commemoration for the people who matter most. Therefore, telling\na story primarily of love and pain, retold through generations of musical\nexpression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Francesca Ionescu on Hozier<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Hozier won the public through his soft voice and\nbeautiful lyrics, telling stories of nature, love and conflict. His music\nstrips him down of being Hozier and gives the words to a name-less narrator\ntalking directly to the listeners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we can only listen to the live rendition of\n\u00d4\u00c7\u00ffJackboot Jump,’ the lyrics take a much more political storyline, of the\nconflict between protesters and the state. At Standing Rock, the Jackboot\nJump\/ You’d swear was all the rage <\/em>starts the song on Native territory in\n2016, during the Dakota Access Pipeline protests. The Jackboot, associated with\nfascist authoritarian and fascist regimes, then takes us to 2019 Student\nprotests in Moscow, where the Ballet\/ Finds some scared young dancing floor <\/em>putting\ntogether a beautiful cultural aspect and the oppressing system. The last\ndestination is in in Hong Kong, where the long hand of Beijing\/ (stretches)\nsouth a thousand miles. <\/em>This line creates a horror image, of a \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffcreature’\nthat can reach anyone, possibly referring to the facial recognition used in the\n2019 Hong Kong protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00d4\u00c7\u00ffWork song,’ takes the listener to a working man’s heart, in an indie-soul mixture that starts with a concrete image of Boys ,workin’ on empty [in] the burning heat<\/em>, fading as the narrator goes into daydream, started by the line I’m so full of love could barely eat. <\/em>The chorus becomes biblical as men came out of their tombs during rapture, the narrator will crawl home to her<\/em>, making his baby into a representation of heaven. Her religious connotations continue as he says she found him three days on a drunken sin <\/em>and never asked [him] once about the wrong <\/em>[he] did. The last bridge, heaven and hell were words to me<\/em>, sees the narrator regard his love as deeper than the afterlife, rendering death with no importance as long as his he still has his love. Throughout the whole song the listeners become the boys, in the burning heat listening to a story of a love-sick man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Megan Evans on Jorja Smith<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Jorja Smith is one of the most influential singers\nof the twenty first century, and has mastered the art of craft with the\nlyricism of some of her most popular songs. Jorja writes a lot of her music on\nher experiences growing up in Walsall, with moments of levity, and bringing\nrelatable anecdotes to life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A prime example is the soft tones of Blue Lights, a song questioning why\nyou should have a guilty conscious when you’ve done nothing wrong. Jorja took\ninspiration from post-colonialism in grime music, and was inspired primarily\nfrom Dizzee Rascal’s \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffSirens.’ The debut single was a massive success in\ndescribing the breakage of social constructs and the tension caused between\nblack men with the police. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another entitled Tomorrow is a minimal piano ballad in comeback to an ex\nthat destroyed her confidence. She manages to balance her specific struggles\ncollectively as a society and ease them into her lyrics, grappling her feelings\nand how she has developed from being an insecure teenager about her curvy\nfigure, her mixed race background, and her mixed feelings of grief,\ndenial and confusion.   \u00d4\u00c7\u00ef\u00d4\u00c7\u00ef\u00d4\u00c7\u00ef\u00d4\u00c7\u00ef<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00d4\u00c7\u00ef\u00d4\u00c7\u00ef\u00d4\u00c7\u00ef\u00d4\u00c7\u00efHer creative flair was summoned from her Jamaican\nfather, Peter, who was in a neo-soul vocal group inspired her to\nexperiment with music. Another song entitled \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffBeautiful Little Fools’ borrows\nits name from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby<\/em>. The\nsong was released on International Woman’s Day and proposes the message of\nhow the media can taint the idea of what beautiful means to young girls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wants to inspire a new generation of women to embrace their bodies and the importance of individuality, and that there are more fulfilling roles for women than the bright archetype. She manages to wove the cool and contemporary with a little hit of R n’ B and soul to encapsulate her effortless vocals and triumph her lyrics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
