Polarity/1's "Plunder": A Song for Our Times (Free MP3)

Download Free MP3 Of Polarity/1's "Plunder"

The appropriately titled "Plunder" begins with a Bernie Madoff impersonator admitting to the now infamous ponzi scheme, which has since led to a 150 year prison sentence. As the song progresses, clips from this speech are cleverly inserted throughout the verses. The production is fantastic, and although it’s certainly not organic in nature, the horns and funky bass line keep it grounded, and prevent it from becoming just a jumble of computer loops. With clever lines like "easy credit, easy crime, American dream, death by subprime," Plunder succeeds in portraying the current dismal economic picture. However, despite the grim nature of the lyrics, the track is ironically upbeat, and in the end, it makes you want to dance, even though the subject matter is nothing worth celebrating.
- Will Cohn, MusicDish e-Journal

Polarity/1's "Plunder" (rough mix) - musicdish

"Plunder" can be heard in the upcoming documentary by the same name, directed by Danny Schechter. Nicknamed "The News Dissector", Emmy Award winning Schechter investigates the economic downturn and subprime mortgage crisis. Polarity/1 contributes two songs to the film, and even makes a brief cameo appearance. Watch the teaser trailer for Danny Schechter's 'Plunder' documentary.

The music of Polarity/1 is exactly what the name suggests: conjoined opposites -- a mash up of new: cutting edge electronica/hip hop/nu-jazz and old; roots music of America (blues, funk, country, early jazz), Brazil (samba, pagoda, etc.) and West African groove science. Polarity also describes the dual streams of Polarity/1's musical output: songs and instrumentals.

S1 Songs Group Announce Sheryl Crow Deal

S1 Songs Group global CEO, Steve McMellon, is delighted to announce the acquisition of the Sheryl Crow music publishing catalogue and also the execution of a co-publishing agreement for Sheryl's future works.

This is a major deal for the global but London & Dublin-headquartered independent music publisher, and reflects the importance attached by Sheryl Crow and her management team to S1 Songs' creative offering as well as its international network of its own companies capable of driving value from her portfolio and future work across all key territories and media channels, including the opportunity for bespoke writing and recording for film and television.

Sheryl Crow is internationally renowned and is one of the most iconic singer song-writers in the last twenty years, a prolific live performer with career sales in excess of 30 million albums alongside 9 Grammy awards, 1 Brit Award and 3 American Music Awards. She is regularly acknowledged as the catalyst for today's significant number of female recording artists and performers.

The deal sees S1 Songs add 153 songs released by Sheryl between 1993 and 2008 to its existing portfolio of in excess of 30,000 songs, as well as securing the rights to Sheryl's next two albums.

"This is a landmark deal for S1 Songs. Sheryl is an icon in the female singer-songwriter genre, and was a ground-breaker who paved the way for many of the current successful female singer-songwriters who are dominating the global charts. Sheryl's repertoire has considerable longevity. In addition to the hits, listen to "Redemption Day' or "Home' from the self-titled "Sheryl Crow' album: those songs are typical of Sheryl's repertoire and will continue to have appeal for many years yet!'

Sheryl is delighted that the deal has been completed and is looking forward to the new relationship, commenting: "I am very excited about the S1 plans for my music and look forward to a good positive working arrangement'

Sheryl Crow and Steve McMellon pictured in Los Angeles after concluding the deal.

Scooter Weintraub, Sheryl's long-time Manager, has already spent time with the S1 Songs team and is looking forward to implementing some of the plans that they have been discussing.

"I think the independence of S1 Songs, together with its creativity and long-term game plan makes it the perfect partner for Sheryl'.

S1 Songs' US President and Global Head of Creative, Neil Gillis, is similarly enthused by the deal.... "we are welcoming the premier female singer-songwriter to our roster, this is a major acquisition for us. As an independent, with our own international structure, we are perfectly placed to give these wonderful songs (and those that are to come) the attention they deserve both in the US and the Rest of the World'.

McMellon and Gillis, supported by Pat Finch (Nashville), Soeren Bauermeister (Continental Europe) and Dave Polemeni (Head of Film and TV), will personally take responsibility for the catalogue and the new repertoire, working very closely with Scooter Weintraub and his team on the creative front.

Amy Speace Learns Not To Fear The Killer In Her (A CD Review)

Like many musicians before her, Amy Speace left her family, her friends, and her home to write her new album, "The Killer In Me." She left, it seems, not to escape the pain in her life, or to avoid distraction, but to absorb her feelings and transform them. This emotional osmosis drew her pain out and allowed her, as she says, "to write the things the you're afraid to say out loud." Amy's songs break through that fear not only in her mind but also in ours. She is not a simple song writer and "The Killer In Me" is not an easy listen. The cryptic meanings of her lyrics are not immediately clear and demand time to absorb their poetry. This album conjures the loneliness, sadness, and helplessness that we all sometimes feel and tempers those twisting emotions with those of hope and love.

For this album, Amy enlists guitarist and producer James Mastro who brings a psychedelic-rock touch to the sound. His production skills mixed with Amy's song-writing ability make this album special. Songs like "This Love" and "Haven't Learned a Thing," are beautifully woven pieces. The ghostly track, "Weight of the World" shows Amy's ability to sew lyrical melody to instrumental sensibility giving this song an almost programmatic feel; as if the instruments are acting out her story each time they plays the song. Other songs like "Something More Than Rain," "Piece By Piece," and the visionary "Blue Horizon" and true poetic treasures and "Dirty Little Secret" shakes the soul with controversy and depth.

This latest offering is a departure from Amy's previous album, "Songs For Bright Street." Where this album occupies an acoustic-folk sensibility, "The Killer In Me" rocks out and experiments with ethereal and psychedelic timbres exhibited in the songs "Storm Warning" and "Better". Overall, Amy's latest work offers a complex intimacy that was largely absent in its direct and spontaneous predecessor.

Amy Speace has certainly taken a turn on the rock and roll boulevard but Amy doesn't forsake her roots. Songs like "Would I Lie" and "I Met My Love" (featuring the voice of Ian Hunter, who also appears on the title track), are infused with genuine country and folk sounds. With "The Killer In Me" Amy shows us all the color of her heart, a heart shrouded in blue.

Music From Polarity/1 Featured In "Plunder," An Upcoming Documentary by Danny Schechter

The music of Polarity/1 can be heard in the upcoming documentary "Plunder," directed by Danny Schechter. Nicknamed "The News Dissector", Emmy Award winning Schechter investigates the economic downturn and subprime mortgage crisis. Polarity/1 contributes two songs to the film, and even makes a brief cameo appearance.

Watch the teaser trailer for Danny Schechter's 'Plunder' documentary

The first song that Polarity/1 contributes is the title track to the film. "Plunder" has a funky feel with slap bass, a strong horn section, and creative lyrics. In the beginning of the song, a Bernie Madoff impersonator admits to his crimes. Then, the rap comes in which describes how "greed is the creed, drug of choice" and touches on almost every aspect of the financial crisis; credit swamp, subprime mortgages, 401k's, and of course Bernie Madoff himself. Throughout the song, the horns have a call and response with the melody of the lyrics.

The other track, entitled "Home Sweet Home" describes the meaning of feeling at home. Whether its religion, family, or friends, everyone has their own passion that makes them feel at home, and this song describes that feeling. In addition, Polarity/1 makes a physical appearance in the film, and gives his take on the economic crisis.

Polarity/1 previously contributed two songs to Plunder's prequel "In Debt We Trust," including "Free Money" and "I'm So Broke."
