Is anyone experiencing more of a creative jolt than Jonathan Anderson? While everyone zigged to master the fashion-show video in the early days of the pandemic, the Loewe and JW Anderson designer zagged to master touch and connection, even intimacy.

Harmony is melody’s bitch, with no life of its own. Hearing a melody a cappella, divorced from its harmony and expelled from its sound-world, is a kind of test. Does it still sound like music when it’s sung, just like that, by a civilian (an amateur)? The ultimate test: How does it sound when sung by your mother?
