Pink (Lizzo Song)
"Pink" is a promotional single by American singer and rapper Lizzo, released on July 21, 2023, as the opening track from '' Barbie the Album'', the soundtrack of the 2023 film ''Barbie''.

Having already worked with Lizzo before, Mark Ronson said she was "obviously at the very top of the list of people that we spoke to, and she dug it." They only had two days to finish the song; Ronson recalled, "Halfway through the second day, I was just like, ''This isn't going to work. I'm going back to Greta empty-handed.'' Lizzo said, 'You know what? Throw this picture up again.' And she's like, 'Play the track.' And she just starts narrating what's going on on the screen. Like, 'Hey, Barbie.'" In an interview with IndieWire, ''Barbie'' director Greta Gerwig said "When Lizzo came on, she basically wrote and riffed on top of what o ...

Conga
The conga, also known as tumbadora, is a tall, narrow, single-headed drum from Cuba. Congas are staved like barrels and classified into three types: quinto (lead drum, highest), tres dos or tres golpes (middle), and tumba or salidor (lowest). Congas were originally used in Afro-Cuban music genres such as conga (hence their name) and rumba, where each drummer would play a single drum. Following numerous innovations in conga drumming and construction during the mid-20th century, as well as its internationalization, it became increasingly common for drummers to play two or three drums. Congas have become a popular instrument in many forms of Latin music such as son (when played by conjuntos), descarga, Afro-Cuban jazz, salsa, songo, merengue and Latin rock. Although the exact origins of the conga drum are unknown, researchers agree that it was developed by Cuban people of African descent during the late 19th century or early 20th century. Its direct ancestors are thou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Existential Crisis
In psychology and psychotherapy, existential crises are inner conflicts characterized by the impression that life lacks meaning. Some authors also emphasize confusion about one's personal identity in their definition. Existential crises are accompanied by anxiety and stress, often to such a degree that they disturb one's normal functioning in everyday life and lead to depression. Their negative attitude towards life and meaning reflects various positions characteristic of the philosophical movement known as existentialism. Synonyms and closely related terms include existential dread, existential vacuum, existential neurosis, and alienation. The various aspects associated with existential crises are sometimes divided into emotional, cognitive, and behavioral components. Emotional components refer to the feelings they provoke, such as emotional pain, despair, helplessness, guilt, anxiety, and loneliness.
