Historia
In my book, you will meet a little girl named Viola who ran from her past until she made a life-changing decision to stop running forever. This is my story, from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the stage in New York City, and beyond. This is the path I took to finding my purpose but also my voice in a world that didn’t always see me.

Historia
This is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past.

Jemele Hill’s world came crashing down when she called President Trump a “white supremacist”; the White House wanted her fired from ESPN, and she was deluged with death threats. But Hill had faced tougher adversaries growing up in Detroit than a tweeting president. Beneath the exterior of one of the most recognizable journalists in America was a need—a calling—to break her family’s cycle of intergenerational trauma.

There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with readers, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?

Historia
It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

The Notorious B.I.G. was one of the most charismatic and talented artists of the 1990s. Born Christopher Wallace and raised in Clinton Hill/Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, Biggie lived an almost archetypal rap life. Biggie released his first record, Ready to Die, in 1994, when he was only 22. Less than three years later, he was killed just days before the planned release of his second record Life After Death. Journalist Justin Tinsley’s It Was All a Dream is a fresh, insightful telling of the life beyond the legend.

Historia
After World War I, black Americans fervently hoped for a new epoch of peace, prosperity, and equality. Black soldiers believed their participation in the fight to make the world safe for democracy finally earned them rights they had been promised since the close of the Civil War. Instead, an unprecedented wave of anti-black riots and lynchings swept the country. From April to November of 1919, the racial unrest rolled across the South into the North and the Midwest, even to the nation's capital. Red Summer is the first narrative history about this epic encounter.

He died at the age of 32, and in his lifetime he never had a pop hit. Yet since his death, J Dilla has become a demigod: revered by jazz musicians and rap icons from Robert Glasper to Kendrick Lamar; memorialized in symphonies and taught at universities.

Resumen del Editor
American pop music is arguably this country’s greatest cultural contribution to the world, and its singular voice and virtuosity were created by a shining thread of Black women geniuses stretching back to the country’s founding. This is their surprising, heartbreaking, soaring story—from “one of the generation’s greatest, most insightful, most nuanced writers in pop culture” (Shea Serrano)
“Sparkling . . . the overdue singing of a Black girl’s song, with perfect pitch . . . delicious to read.”—Oprah Daily
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, The Root, Variety, Esquire, The Guardian, Newsweek, Pitchfork, She Reads, Publishers Weekly
SHORTLISTED FOR THE PORCHLIGHT BUSINESS BOOK AWARD
A weave of biography, criticism, and memoir, Shine Bright is Danyel Smith’s intimate history of Black women’s music as the foundational story of American pop. Smith has been writing this history for more than five years. But as a music fan, and then as an essayist, editor (Vibe, Billboard), and podcast host (Black Girl Songbook), she has been living this history since she was a latchkey kid listening to “Midnight Train to Georgia” on the family stereo.
Smith’s detailed narrative begins with Phillis Wheatley, an enslaved woman who sang her poems, and continues through the stories of Mahalia Jackson, Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, and Mariah Carey, as well as the under-considered careers of Marilyn McCoo, Deniece Williams, and Jody Watley.
Shine Bright is an overdue paean to musical masters whose true stories and genius have been hidden in plain sight—and the book Danyel Smith was born to write.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“Memoir, criticism, and cultural history meet in this masterful study of the brilliant Black women who shaped American pop music.... In this soulful, enriching portrait of these extraordinary artists’ struggles and triumphs, Smith widens the canon to usher in new luminaries.”—Esquire, “The Best Books of Spring 2022
“From Phyllis Wheatley to Mahalia Jackson to Dionne Warwick, this captivating examination of Black women in music doesn’t miss a beat. Endlessly readable, Shine Bright calls overdue attention to the groundbreaking women who made American music.”—Ms. Magazine, “April 2022 Reads for the Rest of Us”
“An enriching and entertaining book about the Black women geniuses who shaped pop music.”—Business Insider

Historia
The age of the rock star, like the age of the cowboy, has passed. Like the cowboy, the idea of the rock star lives on in our imaginations. What did we see in them? Swagger. Recklessness. Sexual charisma. Damn-the-torpedoes self-belief. A certain way of carrying themselves. Good hair. Interesting shoes. Talent we wished we had. What did we want of them? To be larger than life but also like us. To live out their songs. To stay young forever. No wonder many didn't stay the course.

Historia
Riley “Blues Boy” King (1925-2015) was born into deep poverty in Jim Crow Mississippi. Wrenched away from his sharecropper father, B.B. lost his mother at age 10, leaving him more or less alone. Music became his emancipation from exhausting toil in the fields. Inspired by a local minister’s guitar and by the records of Blind Lemon Jefferson and T-Bone Walker and encouraged by his cousin, the established blues man Bukka White, B.B. taught his guitar to sing in the unique solo style that, along with his relentless work ethic and humanity, became his trademark.

Phil Spector, born in the Bronx in 1940, grew up an outsider despised by his peers. But he formed a band, and had a number-one hit with "To Know Him Is to Love Him". He quickly became the top producer of early rock and roll and the originator of such girl groups as the Ronettes. Hit followed hit, and for all of them he used a new recording style called the "wall of sound". But the reign of the boy-man who owned pop music was doomed, and Spector spiraled into paranoid isolation and peculiar behavior.

With more than 90 million records sold and eight Grammy Awards throughout its 40-year history, Earth, Wind & Fire has staked its claim as one of the most successful, influential, and beloved acts in music history. Now, for the first time, its dynamic lead singer, Philip Bailey, chronicles the group's meteoric rise to stardom and his own professional and spiritual journey. Never before had a musical act crossed multiple styles and genres with a quixotic blend of astrology, universalism, and Egyptology as Earth, Wind & Fire (EWF) did when it exploded into the public's conscience during the 1970s.

From the moment their hugely influential 1978 debut landed, Van Halen set a high bar for the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, creating an entirely new style of post-'60s hard rock and becoming the quintessential rock band of the 1980s. But the high-flying success was fraught with difficulty, as Eddie struggled with alcohol and drug addiction while simultaneously battling David Lee Roth over the musical direction of the band, eventually taking the band in an entirely new direction with Sammy Hagar and scaling new heights, before that iteration of Van Halen disintegrated.

Historia
Thelonious Monk is the critically acclaimed, gripping saga of an artist's struggle to "make it" without compromising his musical vision. It is a story that, like its subject, reflects the tidal ebbs and flows of American history in the 20th century. To his fans, he was the ultimate hipster; to his detractors, he was temperamental, eccentric, taciturn, or childlike. His angular melodies and dissonant harmonies shook the jazz world to its foundations, ushering in the birth of "bebop" and establishing Monk as one of America's greatest composers.

In 2009, scientists identified nine planetary boundaries that keep Earth stable, ranging from biodiversity to ozone. Beyond these boundaries lurk tipping points. In order to stop short of these tipping points, the 2020s must see the fastest economic transition in history. This audiobook demonstrates how societies are reaching positive tipping points that make this transition possible.

Musical Love Affair Shinning Bright
The performance, the story, where do I begin. I love the depth Danyel takes us with her musical knowledge and her personal story in between. She really loves the artist that she spoke about did her research and gives us all the tidbits that you don't think of with the artist in the music. Only a music head would know that, that was Confunkshun at the end of the Beyonce song with the remix of Frankie Beverly. I felt like I was sitting interviewing her, listening to her stories drinking a glass of wine. I didn't want it to end I wanted to know about another artist. I listen to her Podcast as well weekly wondering which artist she's going to talk about next I loved the book definitely get it for those who were on the fence you won't regret it.

Brilliantly written; I needed to know this part of HERstory for history’s sake!
I blew through this book in two days! It should be required course for every music student in USA studying pop or any form of American music.

A verbal quilt of black music history
I’ve been reading Danyel Smith longer than I’ve know. Of Danyel Smith. An avid music nerd growing up I had nearly every issue of XXL, The Source, & Vibe. It wasn’t until becoming a huge fan of Danyel’s husband, Elliot Wilson through social media and their now defunct podcast “Relationship Goals” in which they discussed so much of their past work that I learned “Oh she wrote that article that I read before!”
It was that same feeling that I found myself having while reading this book and learning how so many black female artist got their way in the door, or their recognition as “oh she wrote that song, or she sang that hook,” so many times it was accolades after the fact. Danyel gives these ladies their flowers. She tells their stories the way they deserve to be told in a way that informs you but also makes you to want to be sure if at all you can never create those same roadblocks for the women in your own life.
Smith masterfully intertwines her personal life into the lives of the many female artist she admires so seamlessly you lose who’s story you’re more intrigued by, hers or the artist. This book is talent on display, in its writing, it’s history, and it’s spirit, it does indeed Shine Bright.

Excellent Book
Danyel Smith seamlessly weaves the history of Black Women in pop into her own story because it is part of her story. It’s beautiful, moving, and educational. Thank you for sharing your story. I am waiting for the next book.

Danyel did that, ok?!
What a beautiful account of some of our biggest pop stars throughout history. Learned so much, and it was a topic of conversation with some of my fave women in my own life. Loved how Danyel was able to bring in her own story throughout. It's more than a boss move to be able to quote yourself because when you conducted so many interviews your damn self. Truly a gem. 💎

Love Letter to Black Women
Initially I thought the author as narrator would take away from this novel. However, Danyel Smith's voice was perfect, the portions that made me tear up were also the parts that I could hear the author still become emotional about. I especially loved that she still sounds wowed like she can't believe this was her life. Her 'Outro' is SUPERB!! Black Woman will physically respond when Ms. Smith outlines how accomplishments are erased and how our humanity is marginalized and then when its appropriated how it becomes celebrated. This book is a love letter to Black Women in pop and a crown adjustment to all Black Women.

Brilliant
Such a beautiful, intimate and well deserved salute to the Black women mentioned and adored by so many. Shine Bright felt like a love song or a deep warm hug. The common thread of women constantly and historically being robbed of their light and greatness is too familiar. I loved the boldness of the stories and vulnerability of the authors personal journey as well. It was a joy to read.

SO BRIGHT!
Sometimes an audiobook is so good that I want to buy the physical book just so I can see the words printed on the page. This is one of those times. Danyel Smith DID that! Her raw emotion, exhaustive research, and stellar writing make this one of the best listening experiences I’ve ever had. You can’t call yourself a true music fan and not read this book!
