MUSIC

Sheila E. felt it was ‘time to stand for something’ on her new album

By KEVIN C. JOHNSON St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The last couple of years, while working on two different albums, singer-percussionist Sheila E. realized she had to shift gears.

One of the albums was a dance record; the other was an album she felt compelled to make after longtime friend Prince died in 2016. (They were frequent collaborators, and he’s credited with transforming her career.)

“I was doing the dance record, and it was just about done,” she says. “It was fun, and I wanted to get it out.

And then Prince passed away. I just shut down and started writing another record after his passing.”

Juggling those projects while watching the political climate, Sheila E., 59, figured “it was time to stand for something.”

“I couldn’t release a dance record,” she says.

“That didn’t make sense.

I couldn’t do the other record, either. There was too much going on.”

So she stashed those projects and refocused.

In response to what she calls a presidential administration of “lies, discrimination, prejudice and institutionalized supremacy,” Sheila E. has released “Iconic: Message 4 America,” in which she re-imagines a number of classics by the likes of Marvin Gaye, the Beatles and Parliament-Funkadelic.

She hopes the songs work as a force of positive change. The set includes “Come Together” featuring

Ringo Starr, “Everyday People” featuring Freddie Stone, “Jesus Children of America” featuring Israel Houghton, “JB Medley” featuring Bootsy Collins and “One Nation Under a Groove”/”Mothership Connection” featuring George Clinton.

The album also includes “America,” her remake of a Prince song that now features Candy Dulfer, and “Funky National Anthem: Message 2 America.”

“I needed to get a record out now,” she says. “I asked myself, ‘How can I get this done?’ I began listening to music from the ‘60s and ‘70s — songs that are still relevant.”

Rather than call what she has released an album of covers, she believes it makes a statement. “These songs were important to me growing up and are important to me now. Lyrically, this is what I have to say, though I changed a few

words here and there.”

Choosing the songs for “Iconic: Message 4 America” was a big undertaking.

There are many that fit the bill.

“I made a list of 40 songs,” she says. “I said, ‘I know I can do this one, I know I can do that one.

Which songs can I do justice to?’”

She knew she had to include a Beatles song.

“That was first on my list,” she says. “I also wanted to do ‘Come Together.’ I just remembered growing up, seeing the Beatles on TV for the first time, screaming and thinking they were so cute. They changed pop music, brought their own thing to it creating something that had never been done. And they wrote a lot of songs that touch your heart.”

“Inner City Blues,” immortalized by Marvin Gaye, is full of lyrics that speak to her upbringing, as

well as about policing and gun control.

Civil rights activist Angela Davis is featured on “Yes We Can Can,” originally recorded by the Pointer Sisters. She’s known Davis for years. “I kept in touch with her off and on. She was important to my life and still is. We’d been on someone else’s record together, and I told her to write something I can start or end a song with or put inside a song.

I’m happy she did.”

Sheila E. performs several of the new songs in her live show, including “One Nation Under a Groove” and “Everyday People,” “Inner City Blues”/”Trouble Man.” She also will deliver classics such as “The Glamorous Life,” “A Love Bizarre,” “Holly Rock” and “The Belle of St. Mark.”

She says part of her “ministry” at her concerts is about love.

“Love unites people.

Hate divides people,” she says. “There’s 5,000 and 10,000 people at the shows, and it’s like a domino effect with people turning around and saying ‘I love you.’ It’s so powerful.”

The album is notable: It’s the first time Sheila E. has appeared on the Billboard charts in 26 years.

She didn’t realize that fact until it was brought to her attention.

“I had a discussion with the team, and someone asked me the question,” she says. “I didn’t even think about it until they said we charted. It’s cool.

You never give up. You always strive to do your best and hope someone notices.”

REVIEWS MARGO PRICE, “All American Made” — Country singer Margo Price paid her dues for the better part of a decade in Nashville before breaking through with last year’s soul-searching “Midwest Farmer’s Daughter,” recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis for Jack White’s Third Man label.

“All American Made” builds on and broadens out from that success. There’s throwback honky tonk, to be sure, like the boot-scooting admission of vulnerability “Weakness” and feminist celebration of resiliency “Wild Women.” But Price also expands her musical palette and takes on real-world issues. She puts her excellent road band to use as she dishes out old-school soul on “A Little Pain,” and dabbles in Tex-Mex on “Pay Gap,” which addresses unequal compensation in the workplace for men and women. “Why don’t you do the math?” she asks. “You’re ripping my dollars in half.”

Economic inequality is also addressed in a wellmatched duet with Willie Nelson on “Learning to Lose,” and the title cut sings out in search of healing solutions, closing out with words from (of all people) Richard Nixon’s first inaugural address as it argues “the simple things are the ones most needed today if we are to surmount what divides us, and cement what unites us.”

– Dan DeLuca, The Philadelphia Inquirer JESSIE WARE, “Glasshouse” — There’s something deceptively simple (or simply deceptive?) about the snaky, sophisticated body of work — and, of course the voice — of South London soul singer Jessie Ware.

There’s that quietly British, flat-lined vocal hoot that puts one in mind of Tracey Thorn with quaint, often danceable melodies tailored to that barely-there quaver.

In addition to that tone, there’s the “pow” of Carol Wheeler’s theatrical sonic boom — an emotionalism stored up like nuts for the winter. Ware — across all of her recorded collaborations and solo projects, “Glasshouse” included — has fused her fussy funk into something original and recognizably her. This time, however the fussiness plays a bigger role than usual in the proceedings.

The flittering “Midnight” with its pounding “Benny & the Jets”-ish piano and Mariah-runs, or the softly plucky “Stay Awake for Me” with its silvery trumpet bleats and vocal backgrounded ooh-ahs, are on the mid-tempo movement tip. “Alone” and “Thinking about You” are among “Glasshouse’s” cleanest cool ballads (the majority of the album). All of these songs sound thinner and more overly pristine than they need be. Thankfully the wet production of “Slow Me Down” (where you can hear every pucker) and the craggy “Hearts” add a needed oomph and texture. Ware’s swerving cosmopolitan chord changes and lived-in voice are exceptional – they just need more house and less glass.

– A.D. Amorosi, The Philadelphia Inquirer

TRAVEL

The quest to visit all 50 states: How many have you seen? the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989 and plans to see Hawaii with his wife in 2019 as a 25th wedding anniversary trip.

By BETH J. HARPAZ AP Travel Editor

NEW YORK — I recently reached a goal that I’ve been working on for most of my life: I visited all 50 states.

And I’ve been surprised by how many others I know who have been on the very same quest. “We’re seeing more and more people with this goal,” said Alicia Rovey, founder of the All Fifty States Club, in an interview for AP Travel’s “Get Outta Here!” podcast. “It seems like any room you go in, there’s at least one person that is trying to get to all 50.”

What’s behind the trend?

Gas is cheap. The 50-state bucket list appeals to all age groups, from millennials who love to travel, to folks who travel a lot for work, to empty nesters and retirees with time for road trips.

For Americans, traveling around the U.S. is also cheaper and less daunting logistically than traveling internationally. And because the U.S. is so big and diverse, every region has something different to offer, from cities to farms, from mountains to beaches, from Southern food to Tex-Mex. Some travelers use apps or online maps to track their travels. Others use real maps.

Alyssa Kauanoe sells a product online called JetsetterMaps ($28) that lets travelers “scratch off the states you’ve been to and get your own personalized travel map.”

Because there’s no real way to check on those applying for membership in the All Fifty club, “we don’t ask for proof,” said Rovey. “It’s kind of an honor system.”

ELON HARPAZ VIA AP

Associated Press Travel Editor Beth Harpaz stands beneath a “Welcome to Idaho” sign near Gibbonsville, Idaho, and the Montana border on Sept. 6. Idaho was Harpaz’s final destination on a quest to visit all 50 states.

WHAT COUNTS? For a visit to count, Rovey says, “You have to touch the ground and breathe the air.” That “rules out airplane layovers.” But she says most 50-staters set their own stipulations: having a meal, spending the night, going to a historic site or spending time with a local.

Jefferson George visited 50 states in 50 days. He drove to the lower 48, starting in Maine and ending in Seattle, then flew to Alaska and before noon on day 50, made it to Hawaii.

But he didn’t just set foot in a place to check it off: “I wanted to see something of note in each state, whether it was an established attraction like the North Rim of the Grand Canyon or something maybe a little more obscure like the first paved road in America in a little town, Bellefontaine, Ohio.”

Kelly Will did the 50 states in a year, using social media to find families to stay with

everywhere she went and immersing herself in each community for a few days.

She’s written a book about the experience that she hopes to publish titled, “Little Miss Willful: An exploration of feminism, fear and faith across 50 states,” and said the education she got spending time with folks around the country was equivalent to “about six different master’s degrees in college.”

For some, the trips offer solace. Jen Miller, author of “Running: A Love Story,” set out to see the 18 states she hadn’t visited after her dog died and she was forced to sell her house “because of a terrible neighbor.” She got through the 18 in just one summer, and along the way, adopted a new dog in Boise, Idaho.

Kris Nazar, who came to the U.S. as a refugee from Poland in 1986, worked as a truck driver and drove a semi through the lower 48. He crossed off Alaska when he got a job helping to clean up

WHICH STATES ARE LAST? Rovey says more than half of the club’s 4,000 members name Hawaii and Alaska as their final stops. That makes sense: Those destinations require more planning, time and money than just driving across state lines. But the other place at the end of the 50-state road for many travelers is North Dakota.

“That seems to be a state that is not on the way to places for people,” said Rovey. “Many of our members have had to make a special trip to get there.” One recommendation for travelers hoping to reach all 50: If you’re close to another state, make that extra trip.

Former AP newsman Dick Lipsey is running a marathon or longer race in each state: “I have four states left and plan to finish up in North Dakota.”

Melinda Frederick and her husband have been knocking off the 50 states along with another couple. “We are simultaneously keeping track of each other,” she said. “We have an agreement we will all cross into North Dakota together.”

I thought North Dakota would be my last, too. But my travels through the 50 states have been somewhat random compared with those who themed their trips or set deadlines. As it turned out, I got to North Dakota’s beautiful Theodore Roosevelt National Park a few days before I made it to Idaho. But I did mark the moment when I ended my quest. I made my husband pull the car over and posed for a photo beneath the sign that read, “Welcome to Idaho.”

MINI-REVIEWS

Lively embraces the light in ‘All I See Is You’

By KATIE WALSH Tribune News Service

The premise of “All I See Is You,” wherein Blake Lively stars as a blind woman who has her sight restored, sounds, on the surface, unfortunately sentimental. Thankfully, the film itself is far weirder than that.

Director and co-writer Marc Forster explores questions of identity in relationship to sensory experiences in this erotic-ish thriller, about a woman whose whole self opens up to the world — for better or for worse — after a cutting-edge eye surgery restores the sight she lost as a child in a tragic accident.

Forster, who wrote the script with Sean Conway, seems fascinated by creating a cinematic experience of blindness, or severely impaired sight. It’s a unique viewing experience, as he weaves a visual spectacle of morphing light and color, melding into abstract shapes, a kaleidoscope of fractured, fantastical images coupled with detailed sound design. This is an attempt to represent the perspective of Gina (Lively) and her experience of the world.

Gina lives in Bangkok with her husband, James (Jason Clarke), for his job. But not much about their background or past is fleshed out, beyond her

Blake Lively and Jason Clarke star in “All I See Is You.”

flashbacks to the terrible childhood car accident that took her sight and killed her parents. He’s the protector of his vulnerable wife, and seems to both relish and strain at the responsibility of caring for her and helping her navigate her small world.

“All I See Is You” posits that our selves are defined by how we experience the world. If a sense is taken away or restored, it changes the way we see ourselves, the way we move, how we relate to others. With her sight back, Gina wants to eat up the world in great gulps — explosions of color at the flower market, faces in the crowd, a kayaking trip, her own face with makeup, her body in a sexy dress, a Spanish peep show with her sister and brother-inlaw. With her sight intact,

she becomes a different person — it affects how she presents herself to the world, changes her sexuality — and that doesn’t sit well with her husband.

As an actor, Clarke seems to shape-shift if the light hits him in a certain way. He’s at once handsome, broad and guileless, but at the right angle his visage darkens. As he toes the line between loving and sinister, we never quite trust James.

He leaves blind Gina for a minute too long outside a nightclub bathroom, leaving her calling his name helplessly — later he seems wary of her, when she changes as the result of her surgery. His power crumbles as she gains hers, and we’re never quite sure how exactly he might try to hold onto that power.

There are moments of

the experimental, abstract and sensual in “All I See Is You,” where Forster keeps the audience utterly unmoored, questioning where this story could possibly go. That sensation is a rare experience in most genre-based cinema, and with a few notable exceptions, “All I See Is You” is refreshingly resistant to predictability.

But for all of Forster’s experimentation, and his willingness to prod at the strange, jagged edges of this relationship, at the jealousy and sex and violence, he ultimately rejects darkness. The final message may tip toward sentimental, but it’s in line with the film’s embrace of light all along.

— 1:50. Rated R for strong sexual content/nudity, and language. HH½

Compiled from news services.

Ratings are 1 to 4 stars.

“Wheelman” — Frequent supporting actor Frank Grillo takes the driver’s seat as an ex-con dealing with family issues as he chauffeurs mobsters from crime scenes. This is one of the most gripping and entertaining action mysteries of the year. Thriller, not rated, 82 minutes. HHH½ “Killing Gunther” — Arnold Schwarzenegger hams it up in an energetic, reasonably amusing, hit-and-miss action comedy from writer-director (and “SNL” alum) Taran Killam, who also gives a casually funny performance in the lead role. Comedy action, R, 92 minutes. HHH “Goodbye Christopher Robin” — This film of rough edges and jagged twists tries to straddle the line between a whimsical origins story about the beloved Winnie the Pooh, and a harsh character study about the bear’s creator, A.A. Milne (Domhnall Gleeson), and his wife (Margot Robbie), unlikable adults who are far better at exploiting a child than loving him. Biography, PG, 117 minutes. HH “Breathe” — When an athletic Englishman in the 1950s (Andrew Garfield) contracts polio, his tenacious wife (Claire Foy) refuses to subject him to the home confinement customary at the time. It’s essentially a paint-by-numbers biopic of a very deserving subject, with a few bursts of stylistic flair and a couple of minor surprises at best. Biography, PG-13, 117 minutes. HHH “Brawl in Cell Block 99” — Vince Vaughn turns in a legitimately great performance as a hulking killing machine forced to carry out a hit behind bars in order to save his family. The creatively violent and gruesomely entertaining grindhouse movie has the look and feel of a particularly well-made drive-in flick from the 1970s. Crime action, not rated, 132 minutes. HHH½ “The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)” — Here’s a new entry to the roster of films featuring quality performances from Adam Sandler. He plays a middle-aged sad sack who craves the approval of his insufferable father (Dustin Hoffman). Along with Sandler’s successful brother (Ben Stiller) and pathetic sister (Elizabeth Marvel), they’re a ridiculous bunch, which makes for some poignant insights and some smart comedy. Comedy, not rated, 110 minutes. HHH “The Florida Project” — In a sun-dappled but decidedly dark and severely fractured fairy tale, the children of impoverished millennials get themselves into all sorts of trouble in a garishly painted, barely inhabitable, rundown motel outside Orlando. The film does a masterful job of exploring a world rarely explored in movies. Drama, R, 115 minutes. HHH½ “Marshall” — As the young Thurgood Marshall, a brilliant and passionate civil rights attorney defending an accused rapist in 1940, Chadwick Boseman delivers perhaps his finest work to date — even when the material falters a bit and is more heavy-handed and pound-the-point-home than necessary. Biography, PG-13, 118 minutes. HHH “Battle of the Sexes” — Instead of impersonating Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, Emma Stone and Steve Carell create full-fledged, complex characters — flawed but endlessly fascinating. This finely tuned period piece about their 1973 tennis matchup works as a vibrant comedy, an effective character study and, yep, an inspirational sports movie. Sports biography, PG-13, 121 minutes.

Skagit Valley Herald / goskagit.com

“Spielberg” — An insightful, comprehensive, entertaining and sprawling insider’s look at Steven Spielberg, the boy genius who is now 70 but has never lost his childlike sense of wonder — or his gift for storytelling. Documentary, not rated, 147 minutes.

HHHH “Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House” — Liam Neeson gives a tightly controlled and quietly effective performance as the FBI man known as Deep Throat who leaked information about Nixon administration crimes and cover-ups to the press. The paint-by-numbers procedural has the trappings of a taut thriller, but there’s something slow-footed about much of

the proceedings. Biography, PG-13, 103 minutes.

HH½ “The Mountain Between Us” — When it’s just a tedious and corny survival story, “The Mountain Between Us” is at least bearable, thanks mainly to the all-in performances from Kate Winslet and Idris Elba as strangers trying to remain alive in an unforgiving, icy wilderness.

They butt heads and make up so many times you almost start rooting for the elements to win out, just so these two would shut up.

Adventure drama, PG-13, 101 minutes. H½ “Blade Runner 2019” — The tight control of Ryan Gosling makes him the perfect choice to play a replicant cop that just might

be human. This vibrant, gorgeous and occasionally incomprehensible hallucinatory epic stands with the likes of “The Godfather Part II” as a sequel worthy of the original classic. Sci-fi action, R, 164 minutes. HHHH “Pearl Jam: Let’s Play Two” — Watching this documentary on Pearl Jam’s concerts at Wrigley Field during the Chicago Cubs’ 2016 championship season, I was stirred by the lush, pristine sounds of the band (led by lifelong Cubbie fanatic Eddie Vedder) and by the gorgeous visuals in the concert sequences. This is one of the most vibrant-looking rock performance films of recent years. Documentary, not rated, 120 minutes.
