So another way to think of Zaireeka is as a one-off piece of technology that comes in a highly inconvenient dead ... Read more

    Time, Age and Experience in Popular Music

    by Dr. Richard Elliott ...
    Popular music artists, as performers in the public eye, offer a privileged site for the witnessing and analysis of ageing and its mediation. The Late Voice undertakes such an analysis by considering issues of time, memory, innocence and experience in modern Anglophone popular song and the use by singers and songwriters of a 'late voice'.
