Attributes of Shine Bright by Danyel Smith PDF

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) Shine Bright by Danyel Smith PDF

“This book is revelatory about the specific experiences of Black women in music.”—Dawnie Walton, author of The Final Revival of Opal & Nev

ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022—Oprah Daily, Essence, Electric Lit

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.

Joyful History of Black Women in Pop!
April 20, 2022
Danyel Smith’s history of the role of Black women in American pop is such a fascinating read.

The author has the definitive background for writing this most intriguing book, drawing upon her experience as editor of Vibe and of Billboard, and as host of the popular podcast, Black Girl Songbook. It’s a wonderful mixture of history, biography, criticism, and memoir, with Danyel’s own love of music woven throughout.

I learned so much about unknown and famous Black women singers who infused pop with such a distinctive American sound.

Smith starts with Phillis Wheatley, a slave who sang her own poems. She also shares rich stories of such greats as Mahalia Jackson, Aretha Franklin, and Mariah Carey, as well as lesser-known Marilyn McCoo, Jody Watley and Deniece Williams. As I read, I “heard” their voices and songs that have long impacted my life and felt such joy!

This is a must-read for anyone who loves pop music, the Black women singers who made pop such a success, and beautifully written history-bios-memoirs. A triumph!

Monotone reader lacks any warmth or expression

In the first half hour, we knew we couldn’t continue to ‘read’ this book with this particular reader.
Audible should have employed someone who has life and warmth to their voice.
I am trying to return this AWFUL book, but somehow Audible has made it almost impossible to do so. You used to be able to go to ‘my library’ and select return. That doesn’t seem to be working any longer.
Considering the incredible topic of this book, what a SHAME it is so lifelessly read. Ugh = I think it is the worst book we’ve ever ordered on Audible and I’ve been a member for TEN years.

I knew I would love this book because Danyel is one of my role models for sure BUT this book definitely exceeded my expectations. The storytelling was great and I really loved the ways she mixed the stories of the legendary women, with her own life. It made the time stamps more relevant to me as a reader! Love, love, love.
