Preserving an ancient art

» Despite a two-year hiatus, Nutchanat La-ongsri commanded a stage with unwavering power. Donning a large headpiece, she pulled on a white costume with a red strap tied on her upper body. Her back rose up like a bird's tail. She pressed her hands in front, showing silver bracelets and nail tips. After a wai kru ceremony, she staged a play in nora kaek, the dying breed of performance art from the Deep South.

The S.L.P. Experience

» When Sergio Lorenzo Pizzorno came out with his first solo single, Favourites, back in June, we were pleasantly surprised. The song, an unlikely collaboration with UK rapper Little Simz, gave us an early glimpse into what could be expected from Pizzorno's solo project -- a whole lot of wacky swagger coated with a good amount of sonic experimentation. Listening to it closely, you can easily detect that indie impishness of his band Kasabian as well as the genre-hopping tendencies of Gorillaz. It's an impressive balancing act of breakbeat backdrop and funky basslines that sounds entirely new and familiar all at once.

» While most people may not be familiar with Julia Michaels, chances are they have more than one occasion heard (and even sung along to) the songs she wrote. The 25-year-old American songwriter, if you must know, is the force behind some of the biggest pop hits from over the past few years including Justin Bieber's Sorry, Selena Gomez's Bad Liar and Hands To Myself, and Gwen Stefani's Used To Love You. But after realising that some of the songs she penned spoke to her more than it would any of the industry's A-listers, she decided to carve her path as a solo artist -- the move marked by the release of her 2017's debut single, Issues, followed by the seven-track EP, Nervous System.

Manila in the claws of corruption
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 01/02/2017
» The Philippines has just voted in a new president, the strongman Rodrigo Duterte who vows to "kill" all criminals in his country. So the film Ma' Rosa, the sole Southeast Asian entry in Cannes competition this year, couldn't have arrived in a timelier fashion. The new work by Brillante Mendoza -- the chronicler of Manila's sordid underbelly -- takes place in the working-class neighbourhood of that sweltering capital, infested by garbage, crime and barefaced corruption. Duterte may flaunt his iron-fistedness to win votes, but the reality as depicted in this film tells a more complex story of people trapped in the rickety state justice system.
