Jacob Blake Released From Hospital

The police shooting of Jacob Blake, who miraculously survived seven shots to the back, sparked a renewed surge in Black Lives Matter protests, even forcing the NBA to consider shutting down the rest of the season for a second time. 

The 29-year-old has quietly been recovering in the hospital since his August 29 shooting, but, because of how many people knew of the hospital he was staying at, Blake and his family have feared for their safety. His father has reportedly been receiving death threats, which has influenced the family’s decision to move Jacob to another undisclosed facility.

As reported by TMZ, Blake was released from the hospital a week-and-a-half ago but he is not home yet. He’s currently continuing treatment at a spinal rehabilitation center. 

His family has said that he is paralyzed from the waist down because of the shooting. Although he is recovering, he is unlikely to ever walk again as a result of his injuries. 

Jacob’s uncle says that he is doing as well as he can, explaining that Jacob is trying to get used to his new life.

Last month, Blake issued his first statement since the shooting, saying: “I got staples in my back, staples in my damn stomach. It hurts to breathe, it hurts to sleep, it hurts to move from side to side, it hurts to eat. There’s a lot more life to live. Your life and not only just your life, your legs — something that you need to move around and move forward in life — could be taken from you like this. Please, I’m telling you: Change y’all lives out there. We can stick together, make some money, make everything easier for our people out here, man. Because so much time has been wasted.”

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
