Taking the breakup song to the next level

Natalie Imbruglia writes a good line when it comes to angst.
Torn is catchy and easily singable, with words any heartbroken woman can relate to…
Now, catch what ‘interpretive dance artiste” Johann Lippowitz can do with such a work…

Come on, ladies (and gentlemen). If we can’t laugh, there’s nothing left to do but cry. And who’s got […]

A Qui Tu Es L’amour?
