Irene Cara As MJ's Leading Lady:

This is hard to explain. But, lately, I'm thinking on doing a fanfic on explore the lore of either "Say, Say, Say", "Bad" or Moonwalker's "Smooth Criminal". With Michael's leading lady in mind, there the late-singer, Irene Cara who did the soundtracks for "Flashdance" and "Fame" while also starring in the original "Sparkle" and was even Snow White in Filmmation's "Happily Ever After".

Now, here are my ideas for Irene Cara's Characters:

-Carla For "Say, Say, Say": The story I got for her so far is that she was Jac's childhood friend who worked on stage as a singer. Jac, Mac, Linda and their driver, Sonny, would meet her again shortly after the music video. While the four are helping Linda's brother with his club, Jac tries to get Carla to leave the rival club (headed by a violent gangster) and join them instead.

-Marisol For "Bad": Still trying to figure this one out. A part of me either wants to make this character the sister to the Hispanic guy Darryl talks to in the "Be the man scene", the daughter to the Spanish elder Darryl tried to get a quarter from or the daughter of Rita from "West Side Story" with Rita, herself, having married and become a teacher at Darryl's school.

While Carla and Marisol are both my OC's, another part of me wants to do a crossover of sorts. I was gonna consider Irene Cara's character, Tracy Freeman from "Certain Fury" but, if we're going by th dates of that film and "Bad", Tracy's older than Darryl. Plus, "Certain Fury" was an exploitative film that featured Tracy/Irene in a scene that may be mentally triggering for some viewers. And then there's the racial slurs that were said throughout the film. I doubt Michael, himself, would be interested in that.

There's also Cara's character, Irene Cannon from the 1981 "Irene" pilot series. Unlike Tracy's who's a troubled (following the death of her mother) delinquent from a mid-to-upper class Westchester, NYC, Irene Cannon is a church girl from Omaha who moved to NYC to be a singer. Working as a waitress, she shares an apartment with her two friends with her uncle, L.C., as the landowner.

With "Moonwalker", it would go like this; Irene and her friends are still down on their luck in 1988. Especially Irene as she tries to work on Broadway as a chorus girl. She would end up meeting Michael along with the kids; Sean, Katie and Zeke. Either Irene and her friends would visit Chicago. Or Michael and the kids would visit New York. Not sure which. Anyway, as Irene becomes aquainted with the four, she discovers that Michael belongs to a race of supernatural beings that are connected to the stars.

For me, this isn't too bad of an idea. Though, on setback is that the original "Irene" pilot was more grounded in reality. A slice-of-life comedy to be specific. So, I'm not sure how I'd get away with this crossover...

Still...

I keep forgetting to ask you whether you intended to go with the MacCready being Gage's son thing or not. That would be pretty fucking hilarious, ngl

I do intend to stick with it, actually. Back when I was first playing Butch and everything storywise was still entirely just me musing as I played, I would imagine how things would go and how everyone would react, and what they would all think. And then again when I made Darryl and I actually traveled with Mac

By the time I actually started posting my thoughts about Butch and my other characters, I'd already come up with entire conversations and scenarios on how people would find out that Mac is Gage's son, how each person involved would react to learning that, and how that would change things between everyone

I remember I kept joking to myself that when Darryl eventually found out, she marched into nuka world with adoption papers and basically assumed all custody of Mac from Gage, since Mac was one of the companions that I imagined her going on mom friend on. And then there was also stuff about how Gage and Mac might... maybe not quite reconcile, but at least talk every once in a while, and also a lot of stuff about how Mac and Lily would get along. Guess I got a little too caught up in all the other stuff that I more or less forget about it for a while, but yeah, that was like. An entire Thing I had planned

#ask #rockshortage #there were a couple different scenarios i thought about where they find out that mac is Gage's son #but i think the one i was most sold on was the one in which gage and butch were laying in bed one night talking about stuff #and eventually ends with butch thinking that gage might not have realized that he accidentally Did A Thing #and trying to get him to remember enough details to figure out if their hunch had any standing room or not #bc butch would know mac bc of darryl. but idk if they would know mac's history like she would #but they knew enough to put that together with what gage said #eventually at least #ofc they couldnt really be sure of it tho bc yeah it sounds incredibly likely but there's not really any way to be sure #idk it was really complicated and there was a lot of other stuff going on as well

Music Week, 15 December 2020

Tom Hull began writing as Kid Harpoon during the noughties indie boom, and is now surfing the crest of a wave, as the songs he helped shape on Harry Styles’ Fine Line smash have defined 2020. Joined by Universal Music Publishing Group’s Mike McCormack and manager Jeffrey Azoff, our Songwriter Of The Year reveals how he became a unique modern hitmaker...

I remember eating cold baked beans in Nambucca a few times,” says Tom Hull, shuddering at his music industry past. “I really didn’t have much money.”

In fact, says the songwriter and producer who goes by Kid Harpoon, “I was definitely skint.”

Music Week congratulates Hull on all this at the start of a conversation to celebrate his Songwriter Of The Year honour, immediately prompting him to remember Nambucca and his days scrabbling to launch his Kid Harpoon songs, a lively mix of folk, punk and pop.

“If someone had told me then that I’d be doing this, I’d have been fucking over the moon,” he says. “I was talking to someone the other day about when I got nominated for an Ivor Novello for [Florence & The Machine’s] Shake It Out. I was doing sessions for Dizzee Rascal and I remember telling Cage, his manager, that it was the first thing I’d been nominated for. He said, ‘You’ve got to be nominated for fucking loads, mate, before you win, don’t get too excited’.” I remember thinking, ‘What?’ And since then, I’ve been nominated for this and that and never won. The day after I had that conversation, Mike McCormack from Universal Publishing phoned me and said, ‘Music Week called, you’ve won Songwriter Of The Year’. I was like, ‘Fucking yes! I’ve won something. It’s taken eight years, but I’m stoked.”

Adele was emerging at the same time as Kid Harpoon, and Hull says that her manager, Jonathan Dickins, once told him, “You never learn from your successes, you only learn from your failures.” He also says that he and Caius Pawson at Young Turks have spoken about how they “made every mistake” with his record. But that often brutal experience – he was acclaimed and popular among his peers but never quite cut through – means he can relate to the artists he works with on a deeper level. He’s in tune with their anxieties. All of which makes his delight at hitting the big leagues all the more intense. Some of the Kid Harpoon classics have been dusted off, too: Stealing Cars made it onto a Gucci playlist, while Styles would play Riverside to arena crowds on tour before going on stage. “Harry thought it was funny,” Hull says, smiling.

Universal Music Publishing Group’s UK MD is equally made up that the spotlight is shining on a writer signed by A&R consultant Frank Tope in 2010. Mike McCormack helped renew the deal in 2017, and praises Tope along with Darryl Watts and Taylor Tester in the US for their part in what is now a worldwide success story.

“Tom is a brilliant bloke, I’m telling you, he was over the moon when I told him,” McCormack says. “In the scene he came from, his best mates were Adele and Florence, he watched them go off to stratospheric success and stuck to it, ground it out and believed in himself. Finally, 10 years later, he’s getting the recognition.”

In fact, McCormack likens Hull to Steve Mac – recipient of this honour in 2018 – saying, “The best guys never really get the recognition, they’re not self-publicists.”

Now, the time has come for Tom Hull to self-publicise the bejesus out of himself, and we have a riotous time as he does so. He’s on such a roll during a long, meandering conversation that he steps in something nasty outside partway through. Hull is up in Scotland with his wife and two children, and he’s having a wander while he takes Music Week through his story so far, and unravels his special bond with Harry Styles.

Hull has spent much of the past three years working with Styles, and went into the relationship with some serious experience behind him. Grammy-nominated in 2016 for Florence + The Machine’s What Kind Of Man, he has worked with a range of acts including (deep breath) Jessie Ware, Calvin Harris, Haim, Shakira, Skrillex, Lily Allen, Years & Years, James Bay, Mabel and Shawn Mendes. Indeed, Mendes’ Wonder album was one of Hull’s primary 2020 projects. Like Fine Line, Wonder was completed with Hull at the epicentre of a small, secluded team. Clearly, Fine Line, recorded primarily in Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La in Malibu and Real World in Bath by Styles, Hull, Tyler Johnson and Mitch Rowland, has become a blueprint, a crystallisation of everything he thought he knew, backed by millions of record sales.

“It’s huge, it’s a defining moment for me,” he says. “I’ve always known that writing as part of a project is a big thing in what I do because it gets the most out of the artist and out of me. It’s digging in with the artist and discovering things. I don’t like to think that I’m very dominant in the studio like, ‘Do this, do that, do this’. I work with people and find what makes them special and unique.”

Hull worked on Styles’ debut, but Fine Line was his first full album project since his own. And now he’s done a similar thing with Mendes, more will follow.

“In the past, I’d found that you’d write songs and, if someone else was producing them, they might not quite get the vision you had with the artist and things could take a wrong turn quite easily,” he says. “It was big for me to bring everything that I’d learned to work with Harry on helping his project come together in a way that was like, ‘Right, we’ve got this, it’s something exciting.’ It feels like a bit of a watershed moment, I’ve found what gets the most out of me and it feels quite seamless.”

Seamless is a nice fit for Hull’s style. Earlier this year, pre-lockdown, he went for a coffee with Mendes, “Just to see what happened”, and before he knew it they were in his home studio. He’d barely blinked and they were in New York, writing more songs, and then, after lockdown hit, they were isolated together working on Wonder in Carmel, California.

This, says Hull’s manager Jeffrey Azoff, illustrates his magic. “Part of what makes him such a good songwriter and producer is that he’s such a good person that you’re immediately disarmed, no matter who you are,” he says. “You get a sense of comfort and respect right away. It’s more than nice, he has a calming effect on anybody he’s around.

“I’m telling you, that’s his secret sauce,” Azoff continues. “His ability to disarm and make you fall in love immediately has carried him a long way. When you combine that with his talent, I’m not surprised to see him doing so well.”

Azoff, who took Hull on as his second client after Styles and keeps the songwriter’s diary calm to give him time and space to focus, also makes a point of praising his talent. “I’m never in the room, but everyone tells me he’s a virtuoso,” he says. “I’ll ask who played guitar on a certain track or who played drums on a different one, and it’s funny how often I’ve cited a different instrument and Tom’s been the one playing it.”

Hull’s success is no surprise to anyone who knows him, but events in 2020 have conspired to make it feel pre-ordained. He, Styles and their team have shown that a record made in isolation can be a smash hit, and its singles went on to fly in a year when isolation became a theme for the whole world. This year, too, Music Week research showed that the number of songwriters behind the Top 100 UK hits had decreased from 5.34 in 2018, to 4.77 in 2019. All of which reflects a move towards more thought, more time and fewer collaborators – cornerstones of Hull’s approach. His work this year has also borne that out. We can’t reveal who else he’s been working with (the names are massive), but we can tell you that Hull has been ‘bubbling’ in a safe way with different artists all year.

“I’ve found a real stride in doing projects as opposed to jumping around doing lots of little things,” he says. “The thing that gets the most out of me and people I work with is when you take the anxiety out of having to deliver something in two days and you commit to a week or longer. Then you can experiment, you can be cynical and try something more commercial if you want, or you can go really left. It’s lots more fluid. For me, 2020 has been more conducive to that. Normally, everyone’s got a million things going on. As much as I love working like that, it doesn’t always pan out.”

Hull’s sensitivity meant that he didn’t get involved in the rush for remote sessions earlier this year. “To me, there’s a lot of emotion involved and artists have a lot of anxiety, maybe something to get off their chest or something they’re insecure about, I find that hard to figure out via Zoom,” he reasons.

He has a group of close friends in the game, songwriters of all levels, and their group chats this year have revolved around the idea of artists, songwriters and producers reconnecting with their roots. “At the beginning of Covid, I was working on some production stuff, but I was also re-learning songs, on piano and guitar,” he says. “There’s been a lot of that going on and it’s sparking a more music-centric writing process, as opposed to listening to the radio and reacting to what’s happening right now.”

Hull says that, instead of rushing around obsessing over the latest chart smash, songwriters are starting to take their time. “I’ve had artists this year coming in saying, ‘I’ve just learned this…’ And you’re like, ‘Woah’,” he says. “It’s easy to get reactive to the current music, but because the world slowed down, people looked backwards at things they grew up with and worked on their skills. The real exciting stuff will be when the world resumes, people will get back into that busy thing, but they will have reconnected.”

Harry Styles understands how to connect with Kid Harpoon better than anyone. Last year, during rehearsals with his band, Styles spoke to Music Week for our cover interview and his comments about Hull and the musicians who made Fine Line hit home all the more now. “There’s a language where if I describe what I want something to sound like, they know how to make it happen, which I think is really priceless,” he said. “It’s pretty rare these days to have a producer or writer who cares about your album as much as you do. It creates a thing where it’s about the album being the best it can be, rather than songwriters’ cuts.”

Once again, we circle back to the idea of Tom Hull’s methods and values standing apart. More than just a watershed for him, Fine Line is giving writers everywhere plenty to think about.

“It’s a hard market [for pop] at the moment, you have a lot of hip-hop on the radio and it’s changed with Covid,” says Hull. “If you look at records like Taylor Swift [Folklore] and Shawn, it feels to me like more of those big pop artists are looking to explore where they came from and what got them excited about music. I definitely saw that with Shawn and you can hear it with the Taylor record. Artists are going back to their roots and working with fewer people.”

For McCormack, the story is quite simple. “Sometimes there’s a bit of a demarcation between songwriter and artist, a career songwriter can sometimes not just have that empathy that someone who’s been an artist has,” he says. “Because Tom tried very hard for a very long time to be a success on his own terms, he can completely understand what an artist is going through. Harry was really brave to go down that road and Tom was brave to commit his last three years to making it work. Most publishers and songwriters work on the basis of, ‘If I work on a load of projects, I’ve got a lot more chance of success’. He’s decided to put all of his eggs in one basket, and look at the result. It’s been an extraordinary success.”

For Hull, his favourite Fine Line moments are those that chime with the very reason he ever picked up an instrument or wrote lyrics in the first place (plus the “glorified lads’ trip” he and Styles took to Japan to write songs, one of which he says may yet see the light of day). He takes us back to the kitchen in Shangri-La, sunshine streaming in and Styles on an acoustic guitar, strumming the three chords of Golden.

“We were just singing the main, ‘Da, da, da’ melody doing harmonies,” he says. “For everyone that’s around music, sometimes when you play, you can’t help but grin because it just feels so good. We were all smiling, drinking tequila and singing Golden. It was one of those moments where, you think, ‘If all else fails, this is worth it because this is fun, this is what music should be about and this is how records should be made’. That’s how you make records. You can arrive at one, finish at six, hammer it out and get great songs that way, but for me, those memories and the culture we had was the special thing about it. I don’t know if that made it stand out, but that’s how we did it and I think it translated.”

Given the all-encompassing level on which Fine Line has resonated, it’s surprising to hear what Hull says next. “Harry’s like a brother to me, he’s been such a big part of what I do, behind the scenes as well,” he explains. “I learned so much from him about how to be brave. Our big thing was, if it fails and everything tanks, if you make a record that you absolutely love, then you still have something you will stand by. The danger is if you try and make one that pleases some people, and it tanks, then you don’t like that record.”

The fact that the album turned platinum ahead of its first birthday in a year that saw the campaign soar without the boost of a world tour shows their instincts were right. Crucially, it also leaves Hull with the world at his feet.

“The first time I met him, you could see the determination and the charisma,” says McCormack. “He’s so likeable. Artists just love him. This is the beginning of him being a proper global, premier league writer and producer.”

“I couldn’t be more proud of Tom,” says Azoff. “He’s gaining confidence and he’s getting even better, which is scary.”

Our story finishes back in Nambucca, where Hull first started. He’s come rather a long way since. “It’s a totally different ball game,” he smiles. “Now, I’m trying to pull something out of someone and using all my experience to help a vision come together. I get to do things I like, I’ve done things with Skrillex, Calvin Harris, Florence, and written pop songs with Harry that have gone massive. It’s that fulfillment of jumping into new things. It’s a journey of figuring out what you’re good at, and I feel I’m getting closer to that now. It seems to be kicking in… And it definitely pays a lot better!”

Thought I’d share some of my Karl Jenkins headcanons/backstory I’ve developed for my version of him over the past few years if anyone is interested! He is very, very special and personal to me and I’ve put so much of myself into my version of him <3

-his full name is Karl Thomas Jenkins and he has ADHD, dyslexia and autism! His dad calls him Kage (which is like saying KJ out loud but not finishing pronouncing the J) which later gets picked up by the rest of the gang!

-lacks volume control, he is very loud and usually not aware of it, I hate to say it but he’s probably very annoying, we all love him anyway though bc he has such a good heart <3

-raised by his muggle father after his mum left them when he was 5 (she had severe untreated post natal depression and felt that it was the only way they could be happy :(( she does get treatment though and comes back into his life when he’s 16/17)

-as a result he’s got quite the fear of abandonment :( he never really had any friends growing up either bc he was so loud and annoying in class, kids laughed at him and he thought that was what it meant to be friends, so he took on the role of class clown without quite realising that people were laughing AT him, not with him

-he’s a major animal person, he finds them much easier to understand than people, and he always gives them very human names, his owl is called Agnes, he and his dad have a long haired dashound called George (who usually gets called Georgie Pie) and a Pygmy Puff who is is best friend that he takes everywhere called Darryl

-Darryl is a purple Pygmy puff that he and Craig found on the way to Hogsmede leading up to Christmas in first year, Craig is Darryl’s god father and he takes the role very seriously!

-Karl attempts to sneak Darryl into class every single day without fail, and every single day he is caught, he cannot figure out how, until eventually his favourite teachers start turning a blind eye and Karl thinks he’s finally gotten away with it

-it is also his dream to have a hippogriff called Gilbert!!

-major bisexual, he’s a hopeless romantic even if he doesn’t realise or want to admit it, and he has a major problem with telling the difference between romantic and platonic relationships/feelings, which means he’s had a crush on every single one of his friends at some point or another

-had a crush on James Sirius for most of Hogwarts, the first boy he realised he had feelings for and so is quite a formative person in his life

-aside from animals, his other passion in life is cooking! he and his dad are very close and they cook together all the time, which is a habit he brings with him to Hogwarts

-Karl spends a lot of time in the kitchens, he cooks or bakes whenever he’s stressed or whenever his friends are stressed, his favourite meal is a good old Mac and Cheese which he makes for the gang all the time

-his love language is hand writing recipes for his best friends of food he thinks they’ll like, and he draws little doodles in the margins!! the gang each have little makeshift cook book full of hand written recipes that Karl has given them over the years

-He is a chaser on the hufflepuff quidditch team and although he’s quite chill about the sport, he is secretly terrified of letting them down so he trains really hard, goes for jogs with Yann most mornings etc

-he and Polly have a very brother/sisterly relationship, and although it started off quite superficial due to them both having walls up, they ended up incredibly close, the sort of friendship where they’ll rip each other to shreds and get into stupid arguments all the time, but if anyone else says a word against the other they’ll destroy you

-the first time Polly called him her best friend he cried, it was a bit embarrassing but he’d never had a best friend or had anyone say that to him before, it was a very important moment for them both <3

-he met Craig in the train to Hogwarts in first year and they very quickly became a duo, they later joined Yann and Polly and became an inseparable group and it’s the happiest he’s ever been

-Craig helps him study most of the time, they’re super close and Karl was always very close to falling in love with him

-I have an AU in my head where if CBJ doesn’t die, they end up having an experimental friends with benefits relationship for a while where they get high together under the quidditch stands and hook up, it’s pretty chill and mostly to help them both figure out their sexualities, but it reaches a point where Karl realises he can’t keep it up bc he’s getting actual feeling for Craig, so they call it off and still remain best friends!

-he’s an incredibly tactile person and his love language is physical touch, he’s always kissing his friends on the cheek (or on the mouth if they’re drunk and up for it!) and hanging off them, holding their hands etc etc (I mean as a group anyway the gang are very tactile and usually all kissing each other, it’s about the platonic intimacy <3)

-in sixth year his Mum gets back in touch to let him know that she’d like to come back into his life if he’ll let her, and also that he has a half-sister called Adeline starting at Hogwarts that year, something he previously knew nothing about!! he’s conflicted bc he resents his mum for leaving without explanation, but he has also always wanted to be a big brother! he’s always envied Albus and James for that

-he ends up, almost entirely by accident, becoming the new Care of Magical Creatures professor a few years out of Hogwarts

-he and hagrid were always very close during his time at school, he’s the first non-wotter to get invited to tea, and he unironically loves it and always has an amazing time talking about creatures and helping Hagrid out with them, sneaking into the forest etc

-he’s the best student Hagrid’s ever had and yet is still taken off guard when he asks Karl if he wants to be his apprentice

-so Karl ends up becoming the youngest COMC professor Hogwarts has ever had, he absolutely loves it and gets very close with his Seventh Year class, he tells them a lot of stories that he thinks are appropriate until he remembers he was high at the time lmao

-he’ll get halfway through a story, realise he was high, falter and trail off, only for Nathaniel in the front row to raise his hand and go “sir, were you drunk?” and Karl’s like YES! I was…drunk…

-he has an on and off relationship with fellow Hufflepuff Matt Wood for literal years, but they eventually end up together

-his patronus is a meerkat!!!

There is still so much more I could say and feel like I’m missing but there you have it! I’ve been working on my Karl since I first saw CC in November of 2017 and he absolutely stole my heart so…here we are! Maybe I’ll add more, who knows!

#bit nervous about this one bc I have poured my heart and soul and four years of my life into mr karl jenkins #but I’m sharing it anyway!!!#pls let me know if u have any thoughts or questions!#this is just my version of him but it’s very personal to me #I have basically his entire life story mapped out in my head #I’ve tried writing it a few times but hm #he’s a hard character to capture!!#anyway I absolutely adore him and I am holding him very gently in my hands just above my heart <3 #karl jenkins #the gang #cursed child #Harry Potter and the cursed child #ccsquad #and to think this all started bc of tom m*ckley #amazing man and even better karl #and I just wanted to explore more of who that character was and why he was behaving the way that he was #bc I just didn’t believe he had a bad heart or bad intentions #so yeah I have entire explanations and justifications of all of his choices in cc #anyway I feel like I’ve shared HEAPS but also nothing so :) that’s fun!

I remember eating cold baked beans in Nambucca a few times,” says Tom Hull, shuddering at his music industry past. “I really didn’t have much money.”

In fact, says the songwriter and producer who goes by Kid Harpoon, “I was definitely skint.”

In fact, McCormack likens Hull to Steve Mac – recipient of this honour in 2018 – saying, “The best guys never really get the recognition, they’re not self-publicists.”

Hull worked on Styles’ debut, but Fine Line was his first full album project since his own. And now he’s done a similar thing with Mendes, more will follow.

Once again, we circle back to the idea of Tom Hull’s methods and values standing apart. More than just a watershed for him, Fine Line is giving writers everywhere plenty to think about.

“I couldn’t be more proud of Tom,” says Azoff. “He’s gaining confidence and he’s getting even better, which is scary.”
