Én af landets mest populære sangskrivere sætter ord på sit livs lyse nætter med musik, skæve Dalton-dage, kvinder og lidenskab men også et liv med dystre dage, dæmoniske drukture og en evigt, borende længsel. Lars Lilholt fortæller sin egen families historie og giver et enestående indblik i, hvad der har formet mennesket bag Danmarks største kærlighedssang "Kald det Kærlighed." "På scenen var min fornemmelse og timing fantastisk, men i privatlivet var alt kaos. Der skulle stadig gå mange år, før jeg lærte, at man må og skal lægge sine inderste drømme ud for hinandens fødder. Man skal turde lægge sine sorte huller frem i lyset. Derude er deres sugende tyngdekraft ikke så stor, og de bliver lettere at se og nemmere at undgå. Havde jeg i tide fortalt Bente om knivene, om fantasiprinsessen Birgitte, om angstanfaldende, om savnet, om tvivlen så havde livet måske set anderledes ud. Men jeg skulle først lære at være ved, hvem jeg er. "

**MiCannes Award Music Book of the Year**The first full-length biography of Mal Evans, the Beatles' beloved roadie, assistant, confidant and friend
Discovered at twelve years old, Madison Beer was one of the first artists to have her entire life documented online. Over the past decade, she has navigated the spotlight as a child, through her teenage years, and now as a young woman in her twenties.In The Half of It, Madison pulls back the curtain to show the behind-the-scenes of her journey, from reckoning with mass hate online and the time her private pictures were leaked, to battling suicidal thoughts while making her highly acclaimed debut album, Life Support, and her recovery since then. This memoir is an honest and unflinching account of self-love, mental health, and advocacy from one of the fastest-rising musical voices and most influential social media presences of her generation. It hammers home the point, more striking and urgent than ever, that no matter how close the internet may make us feel to people, we truly don't know the half of it.

ABBA’s position i musikhistorien er uden sidestykke. En svensk popgruppe, hvis popularitet ude i verden bare bliver større og større for hvert år, der går.Hvordan er det muligt? Hvorfor bliver vi aldrig trætte af disse sange?"VEMOD UNDERCOVER" lader detaljerne – i musikken, i de involverede menneskers liv, i tiden – forklare helheden, fra bandets første skridt sammen, over det internationale gennembrud med Waterloo i 1974 og til den sidste indspilning.

This Is Hardcore is Pulp's cry for help. A giant, sprawling, flawed masterpiece of a record, the 1998 album manages to tackle some of the most inappropriately grown-up issues of the day - fame, ageing, mortality, drugs, and pornography - and still come out crying and laughing on the other side. The subject of pornography dominates the record - from its controversial artwork to the images conjured up by songs like "Seductive Barry" and the title track - after Pulp's main man, Jarvis Cocker - who'd spent most of his teenage and adult life chasing celebrity, only to be cruelly disappointed when it finally arrived in spades - hit upon the grand notion of using pornography as a metaphor for fame. The album's commercial failure as a follow-up to the band's Britpop-defining, Different Class, also symbolizes a death knell for Britpop itself. Dark, right? Except just like Pulp themselves, Jane Savidge's book is playful and sometimes very funny indeed. Kicking off with an imaginary conversation between Jarvis Cocker and the people who run the Total Fame Solutions helpline, Savidge expertly guides us through the trials and tribulations of an album that begins with the so-called Michael Jackson Incident, when Cocker got up on stage at the 1996 Brit Awards and waggled his fully-clothed bum at the King of Pop. Pulp's This Is Hardcore may be a sleazy run through porn and mental demise, and an album that chronicles Cocker's continuing disillusionment with his newfound lot in life, but Savidge's book assesses the cultural and historical context of the album with insider knowledge and a sharp modern lens, ultimately making a case for it as one of the most important albums of the 1990s.
