Voices Av Nick Coleman

<b>***ONE OF <i>BILLBOARD</i>''S TOP TEN MUSIC BOOKS OF 2018***</b><br><b><br>‘A brilliant book about singing… I have been talking to Nick Coleman about music, in person and in my head, for forty years now. [With <i>Voices</i>] you have the opportunity to hear what I have heard. I hope you take it’ Nick Hornby in <i>The Believer</i></b><br><br>What happens when we fall in love with a voice; the siren call of someone singing? <br><br> The history of post-war popular music is traditionally told sociologically or in terms of musicological influence and innovation in style. <i>Voices</i> takes a different tack. In ten discrete but cohering essays Coleman tackles the arc of that history as if it were an emotional experience with real psychological consequences – as chaotic, random, challenging and unpredictable as life itself. <br><br> <i>Voices</i> is the story of what it is to listen and learn. Above all, it is a story of what it means to feel.
