A proposito di questo titolo
For fans of DAISY JONES AND THE SIX, EUPHORIA, and LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE, DARKENING SONG is a fiercely feminist debut about two young women; one a recording artist failed by the industry which made her an idol, and the other her ambitious manager, forced to make an impossible choice between friendship and power.
This program features multicast narration and contains original music composed and performed by S.Michaud and written and produced by Delphine Seddon, Ellie Mason and S.Michaud, specifically for the audiobook.
TO BE ADAPTED INTO A MAJOR TELEVISION SERIES
Eva is just 18 years old and interning at a record label when she discovers 16 year old Alora online. Never has she heard a voice like Alora’s and when it’s clear there isn’t anyone at the label interested in hearing this phenomenal talent, Eva takes matters into her own hands. On a whim, Eva offers Alora representation as her manager without knowing the first thing about artist management or what’s about to happen to both of them.
And it turns out Eva was right... Alora is swiftly catapulted into the spotlight of major superstardom, and as the two navigate the whirling vortex of fame—the parties, the money, the paparazzi, and power—they form a deep bond, becoming found family for one another.
But when Alora’s dark and mysterious past begins to infiltrate her present and Eva’s ambition and success blind her to the obvious signs that her client and, most importantly, her friend is in trouble, their lives unravel with disastrous consequences.
DARKENING SONG is a story about friendship and betrayal. It’s a love story, and a story about growing up in an industry which sometimes disregards the needs of young girls and women in favor of self-interest. But more than anything, it’s a story about redemption, and the ways that hopes and dreams can come true in ways we least expect.
"Music industry veteran Delphine Seddon’s debut makes for an outstanding listen that pushes the limits of audiobook immersion with a superb multi-cast narration and original music composed and performed specifically for Darkening Song."—Booklist (Starred Review)

Recensioni della critica
"A bewitching, beautiful story of fame, power, and human vulnerability in the modern age. Rarely does a debut novel shatter your heart like this.” - Dave Bayley, lead singer of Glass Animals
"Darkening Song is a taut and haunting look at modern stardom. Ferociously written and moving." - Isabel Banta, author of Honey
"A dark, beautiful, razor-sharp and propulsive read. With an insider’s perspective on the music industry, this novel unveils its dangerous and at times tantalising toxicity while simultaneously celebrating a love affair with music." - Bexy Cameron, author of Cult Following
"Beautiful, gripping and heartbreaking. I loved this novel." - John Niven, author of Kill Your Friends & O Brother
"Darkening Song is a steely look at the chaos and the decadence of the music industry. I was inspired by the resilience of Seddon's women characters, and the powerful relationships between them. I love that Darkening Song simultaneously holds both a sincere and enduring love for music itself, and the harm the industry can cause." - Rachel Dawson, author of Neon Roses
“A compelling narrative delving into the dark truths of the entertainment industry, while beautifully illustrating the universal intricacies of love, loss, ambition and the pursuit of dreams.” - Honor Teideman, Reprezent Radio DJ
