Australian cultural critic Lesley Chow, associate editor of the journal Bright Lights, has published widely over the past eighteen years, in Salon, Times Literary Supplement, The Quietus, The Age, Pop Matters, and CNN. She has appeared on numerous film juries including Venice and Berlin, and was President of the Critics’ Jury at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2018.
In this interview, she talks about her book - You’re History; The Twelve Strangest Women in Music.
Chow views Janet Jackson, Neneh Cherry, Shakespear’s Sister, Chaka Khan and Sade as ‘outliers’ in pop, and that they are critically underrated, yet have pioneered what the author calls ‘strange’.
Listen and hear Chow explain her love of the sublime, and talks about the artists above, and additionally Nicki Minaj, Janet Jackson, and TLC.
This book is a great read, and will make you listen to music differently.
