JEFF LYNNEFOUNDERS AWARD In 2017, ELO – the band Jeff Lynne has led since it was
first launched into the musical stratosphere back in 1972 – was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. In his loving induction speech, Dhani Harrison – the son of Jeff’s close friend and collaborator George Harrison – lovingly described Lynne as the “ELO extraterrestrial wizard captain – the man with it all.” It was a remarkable night that saw Jeff Lynne and his band celebrating not just ELO, but also opening the entire Rock Hall ceremony by honoring the recently passed Chuck Berry with an inspired version of “Roll Over Beethoven.”
Just weeks after that auspicious occasion, “Mr. Blue Sky” – perhaps Lynne’s most timeless composition and his unofficial theme song – was once again launched into orbit for movie audiences everywhere when this beloved classic was featured in the international box-office smash, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Jeff Lynne remains the man with it all – constantly reaching new heights.
For nearly half a century now, the musical genius of Jeff Lynne has been striking a resounding chord with fans all over world. One of the most successful recording artists, singer-songwriters and producers in all rock history, Jeff Lynne has achieved remarkable success with ELO, as a solo artist, as one of the Traveling Wilburys, and producing many of the most significant artists of our times. That impressive list includes some of Lynne’s own defining musical heroes like Roy Orbison, Del Shannon and, in an amazing and Fabulous turn of events, even The Beatles themselves, as well as solo recordings by Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Tom Petty, Brian Wilson, Joe Walsh, Regina Spektor, Joe Cocker and Bryan Adams, among others.
Jeff Lynne’s record stands unparalleled. ELO has sold over 50 million records worldwide, and continues to have a remarkably popular catalog. Between 1972
and 1986, Lynne wrote and produced twenty-six Top 40 hits in the United Kingdom, and twenty Top 40 hits in the United States, including twenty Top 20 smashes in the UK and fifteen Top 20 smashes in the US. Even more remarkably, the ELO catalog continues to have tremendous impact, as demonstrated powerfully when the compilation All Over The World: The Very Best of ELO was released in 2005 and became a Top 10 album in many international markets including the UK where it sold over a million copies.
Beyond all the best-known hit songs, fans everywhere continue to explore the extraordinary series of albums that combined Lynne's remarkably ambitious and accomplished craftsmanship, from the group's 1971 debut (accidentally titled No Answer due to a miscommunication on a telephone about what the album would be called) through 1973's ELO II and On The Third Day, 1974's breakthrough Eldorado, 1975's Face the Music, 1976's A New World Record, 1977's double-record epic Out of the Blue, 1979's Discovery, 1981's Time, 1983's Secret Messages, 1986's Balance of Power, as well as 2001's Zoom, the first new ELO studio album in 15 years. Most recently, in late 2015, came Alone in the Universe, the thirteenth album. The album was met with wildly positive reviews, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums chart in America, and reaching #4 on the UK Albums Chart on its way to going Platinum.
So what is it about the music of Jeff Lynne and ELO that endures so powerfully for millions of music lovers around the world? “It's a great question and I wish I could answer it,” Jeff Lynne says with a warm laugh. "It’s nice to have songs in your catalog that stand the test of time.”
And now there’s an excellent new addition to that catalog: Wembley or Bust – the sight and sound of Jeff Lynne and his great band standing the test of time in a big and beautiful way.
DEBBIE HARRY, CHRIS STEIN & CLEM BURKE OF BLONDIE
GOLDEN NOTE AWARD
For the past four decades, Blondie has become and still remains a national treasure. From an irreverent Lower East Side punk outfit to bona fide international ambassadors of New York cool, Blondie will forever be synonymous with that punk spirit that lives somewhere in all of us. The band’s influence has both shaped and continues to inform the worlds of music,fashion and art.
Comprised of singer-songwriter Debbie Harry, guitarist and co-writer Chris Stein, powerhouse drummer Clem Burke, and long-time band members bassist Leigh Foxx, guitarist Tommy Kessler and keyboardist Matt Katz-Bohen, Blondie's chart-topping success, fearless spirit and rare longevity led to an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, a NME Godlike Genius Award in 2014, a Q Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music in 2016, the 2017 Silver Clef Outstanding Achievement Award and more than 50 million albums sold worldwide to date.
Debbie Harry’s persona and the band’s boundary-pushing pop have shaped the look and sound of many chart-topping female artists who followed in the last three decades.
Blondie’s latest album, Pollinator, delves even deeper into this concept: inspiration from Blondie’s action-packed, cross-pollinating past shaping the sound of our collective future. The band released their 11th studio album enti-tled Pollinator during 2017. Selected as one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s 20 Best Pop Albums of the year, Pollinator is a remarkable album that stands alongside any in their celebrated and trailblazing career. GRAMMY®
Award-winning producer John Congleton (The Decemberists, St. Vincent, Sigur Ros, The Killers) brought out the late ‘70s Parallel Lines attitude of Blondie again on Pollinator, with arrangements that are fast and fun, lyrics that are romantic and teasing, and synth-stoked hooks that evoke the new wave era.
BILLIE EILISH & FINNEASVANGUARD AWARD
Somebody needed to finally ask.
It took Billie Eilish to step up and actually pose the question in the form of the title for her 2019 full-length debut album, WHEN WE FALL ASLEEP WHERE DO WE GO? [Darkroom/In-terscope Records]. These fourteen tracks materialize as ghost-ly genre-less pop projections of life’s firsts for the multi-plati-num songstress as she ruminates on her first brushes with loss and love amidst the monsters under her bed and the triumphs at her feet.
As such, the question still goes unanswered—because it can’t be answered—but that just might’ve been her point all along...
“Nobody knows what the fuck dreams are, dude,” she exclaims. “You can’t give me a good enough answer as to what dreams are. Nobody can. Dreams are a big thing in my life though. They’ve always really occupied me. It’s all in the music.”
One daydream manifested to set the stage for such provoca-tion. Within three years since her 2015 debut, Billie quietly, yet unapologetically infiltrated the forefront of pop. Earning six gold certifications (“Bellyache,” “IDONTWANNABE-YOUANYMORE,” Don’t Smile At Me EP, “Copycat,” “My Boy,” and “when the party’s over”) and two platinum certifications (“Ocean Eyes” and “Lovely” [feat. Khalid]), she tallied over 6 billion cumulative streams by 2019, and dont smile at me notably held a spot in the Billboard Top 200 for over a year. Meanwhile, she garnered acclaim from Vogue, Vanity Fair, New York Times, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Spotify, Apple Music, and more and graced the stage of Ellen and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Not to mention, she sold out four world tours and has top billing everywhere from Lollapalooza to Coachella. She maintains a direct connection to fans through open dialogue and one-on-one social media communication. This honesty helped her attract millions of followers online. Along the way, she and her chief collaborator, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and big brother Finneas O’Connell crafted what would become WHEN WE FALL ASLEEP WHERE DO WE GO? Keeping the creativity in-house, literally, they retreated back to Billie’s childhood home. Once again, they
worked in Finneas’ bedroom—two feet from Billie’s room—where the songs not only came to life, but also all of the dreams.
“There were a lot of opportunities and things I said, ‘No’ to,” she grins. “We had to do this album our way. I realized how lucky I am to have my brother in this. If I didn’t have him, I would have to figure out what the hell I was doing without someone else there with me!”
2018 turned around when Billie unearthed what turned into the first single “bury a friend.” In a year marked by the losses of inspirations such as Mac Miller and Lil Peep as well as tragedies a la Stoneman Douglas, mortality weighed heavy over the zeitgeist. Political discord reached untenable heights and the threat of climate change grew more prevalent. This landscape set the stage for “bury a friend.” Punctuated by horror movie screams and drill samples, the graveyard waltz of her jazz-y cadence claws at the senses before snapping into a glitchy chorus as she asks, “when we all fall asleep, where do we go?”
“When we made ‘bury a friend,’ the whole album clicked in my head,” she goes on. “I immediately knew what it was going to be about, what the visuals were going to be, and everything in terms of how I wanted it to be perceived. It inspired what the album is about. ‘Bury a friend’ is literally from the perspec-tive of the monster under my bed. If you put yourself in that mindset, what is this creature doing or feeling? I also confess that I’m this monster, because I’m my own worst enemy. I might be the monster under your bed too.”
In the end, it’s not where we go when we fall asleep, but where we go while awake. Billie is taking us farther than ever with eyes wide open.
“I want people to listen,” she leaves off. “I want to be heard, and I want people to feel heard. Nothing on this album sounds the same, but it all adds up to a whole. Since I first started doing music, my life has changed a lot. One thing that hasn’t changed in my music is that I still just do me, and I don’t even know what that means.”
She doesn’t have to. — Rick Florino, January 2019
