APPLE TV+’S “FRAGGLE ROCK: BACK TO THE ROCK” NIGHT OF THE LIGHTS HOLIDAY SPECIAL OUT NOW!
Apple TV+’s highly anticipated “Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock” Night of the Lights holiday special is out now! Jim Henson’s fun-loving and musical Fraggles — Gobo, Red, Wembley, Mokey, Boober and new Fraggle friends — have returned for all new adventures about the magic that happens when we celebrate and care for our interconnected world.
It’s the Night of the Lights, the most Fraggily holiday of the year, and the Rock is filled with songs and cheer. When Jamdolin (voiced by Emmy Award nominee Daveed Diggs, “Hamilton") encourages Wembley to make a special wish, the Fraggles head out on an adventure to find the brightest light and, maybe, the true meaning of the holiday.
From The Jim Henson Company, the series is executive produced by Lisa Henson, Halle Stanford, John Tartaglia, Matt Fusfeld and Alex Cuthbertson. Dave Goelz and Karen Prell co-executive produce. Harvey Mason jr. serves as the executive music producer. The special is produced by Ritamarie Peruggi.
In addition to “Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock,” Apple’s partnership with The Jim Henson Company includes “Harriet The Spy,” the first animated adaptation of the iconic children’s novel; “Slumberkins,” the mixed-media puppet/2D animation program from the beloved children’s emotional learning brand empowering children to be caring, confident and resilient, that premiered November 4th; and the popular “Fraggle Rock: Rock On!” shorts. Apple TV+ is also the streaming destination for the original 1980’s “Fraggle Rock” series, as well as recently added bonus specials, “Down at Fraggle Rock,” “Doozer Music” and “Fraggle Songs,” all of which are now streaming.
Apple TV+ offers premium, compelling drama and comedy series, feature films, groundbreaking documentaries, and kids and family entertainment, and is available to watch across all your favorite screens. After its launch on November 1, 2019, Apple TV+ became the first all-original streaming service to launch around the world, and has premiered more original hits and received more award recognitions faster than any other streaming service in its debut.
To date, Apple Original films, documentaries, and series have been honored with 280 wins and 1,216 award nominations and counting, including multi-Emmy Award-winning comedy “Ted Lasso” and this year’s Oscar Best Picture winner “CODA.”

🎼 🇮🇱 Powerful and historical moment at the 2024 Grammy Awards when the Grammy's/Recording Academy CEO, Harvey Mason Jr., honored the memory of the 364 Nova music festival attendees who were murdered by Hamas on October 7 in Israel:
'Every one of us, no matter where we're from, is united by the shared experience of music. It brings us together like nothing else can. And that's why music must always be our safe space. When that is violated, it strikes at the very core of who we are. On October 7, we felt that again when we heard the tragic news from the Supernova music festival for love, that over 360 music fans lost their lives, and another 40 were kidnapped. That day and all the tragic days that have followed have been awful for the world to bear, as we mourn the loss of all innocent lives.
Maybe music can't solve everything, but music has always been one of humanity's great connectors.'
this is an interview with rodnae chikk bell, one of the songwriters from the very first sm songwriting camp in 2013 with harvey mason jr. she wrote the melodic toplines for songs like mr. mr. overdose don't call me kick it favorite and also tracks for taeyeon boa and red velvet.
she talks about the process of writing mr. mr. at length and it's super illuminating. at this point it was the very first time they got a group of US songwriters on these kpop tracks and this rly marked a turning point in the kpop industry. she talks about how kenzie was at this camp telling them to never be predictable and chikk researched more about harmonies and minor scales and started leaning into unusual and interesting melodies that have ended up defining sm's style and influencing the entire kpop genre. she also talks about how she fought for better pay for songwriters within the industry and how things are better now because of it.
her stories were rly interesting! i loved hearing about the songwriting process for mr. mr. and how she didn't even know what kpop was back then. she said that in the US her songs would be sold but not released on albums but she got two #1 hits (mr. mr. and overdose) on the very first try when she had no idea where these songs would end up. i feel like chikk and the other writers and producers of the early sm camps are rly important historically for tracking and appreciating the evolution of the kpop sound and how it's different and more interesting than US pop a lot of the time. rn as kpop has entered the global mainstream the trends seem to be backing away from the need for unpredictability into a more U.S. radio friendly sound but this 2nd/3rd gen experimentation that chikk was a part of forming is rly one of the best parts of kpop.
