For this recording, Krystian Zimerman teamed up with cellist Yuya Okamoto, violinist Maria Nowak and violist Katarzyna Budnik to interpret Brahms..
A personal, behind-the-scenes documentary on Neil Young as he cruises the coast on his 2023 solo US tour. The film gives an intimate view of the maverick musician, as he navigates a return to the stage post-Covid. From his everyday observations on the bus to his candid banter with his audience. Coastal is a rare peek behind the curtain of this unguarded iconoclast. It features eleven Neil Young songs including Song X, Vampire Blues, Expecting To Fly, Throw Your Hatred Down, I Am A Child, and Prime of Life.
Billy Idol's ninth studio album and first full-length record in over a decade tells a deeply personal tale of Billy's voyage from young punk rock dreamer to veteran rocker. Even though Dream Into It tells a story, it is also, on a track-to-track level, a completely satisfying old-school/new-school pumping, rocking punk/pop odyssey, as only Billy Idol and longtime guitarist/collaborator Steve Stevens can create, with the able assistance of producer Tommy English and features with rock mavens Joan Jett and Alison Mosshart.
Award-winning singer/songwriter/producer Jon Pardi releases his fifth studio album, which features seventeen tracks, including Friday Night Heartbreaker and the title track.
Femi Kutis album marks a deeply personal chapter in the Afrobeat legend's career. Known for his sharp critiques of political corruption and social injustice, Femi balances his signature "sweet music with a bitter message" with introspective reflections on family, life, and personal growth. Revisiting old tracks with fresh perspectives and producing entirely on his own for the first time, the album captures his journey as an artist, activist, and father.
World-renowned pianist Hiromi releases her thirteenth studio album, which is a vivid display of electrifying fusion jazz. Joined by her band Sonicwonder, the album features Adam O'Farrill (trumpet, w/pedals), Hadrien Feraud (bass), and Gene Coye (drums).
Produced by M. Ward - Owls, Omens, and Oracles is a transformative record featuring vocals from The Blind Boys of Alabama, and an excerpt from Valerie's book, Maps for the Modern World. This album is a full-circle moment, revisiting her indie roots while still pushing forward with an evolved sound. It centers on a joyful and spiritual outlook, celebrating growth and resilience - an album that is meant to inspire, heal, and unite people through shared emotions.
One of the most formidable guitarists in recent history, Samantha Fish brings both mind-blowing power and extraordinary emotionality to everything she creates. For help in shaping the album's magnificently rowdy but deeply nuanced sound, Fish reunited with Detroit garage-rock icon Bobby Harlow and enlisted the core members of her live band (bassist Ron Johnson, drummer Jamie Douglass, keyboardist Mickey Finn).
Bon Iver's three-song collection Sable was a prologue mired in darkness, a controlled burn clearing the way for new possibilities. Fable is the book that follows. Where Sable was a work of solitude, Fable is an outstretched hand. Radiant, ornate pop music gleams around Vernon's voice as he focuses on a new and beautiful era.
Send A Prayer My Way has been in the works since 2016 and is a collaboration between two artists already admired for their spare, elegant lyrics as well as the courage to share their struggles with those who love their music. It's also a work that, like the most enduring country albums, sustains and inspires, reminding both singer and listener that not one of us is ever totally alone in this world, that music is a steady companion.
For the 50th anniversary of the composer's death, Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra conclude their award-winning, decade-long Shostakovich Project by presenting the Shostakovich symphony cycle, featuring Yo-Yo Ma's performances of the two cello concertos.
Ghost's sixth psalm is its most unflinchingly introspective work to date. Where previous albums dealt largely with chronicling and/or observing outward facing subject matter, such as Impera's meditations on the rise and fall of empires and its predecessor Prequelle's evocations of the ravages of era-defining plagues, Skeletá's lyrics render the distinct individual emotional vistas of each of its ten songs in one-on-one fashion, at times as if in a dialogue with oneself in a mirror. The end result is a singular collection of timeless, universal sentiments, all filtered through a prism of a uniquely personal point of view.
Salif Keita, "the golden voice of Africa," reveals himself for the first time in a stripped-down acoustic format, reconnecting with his roots and his guitar, his long-time companion instrument. Surrounded by the spirituality of a Zen temple and supported by his loyal musicians, Badié Tounkara on ngoni and Mamadou Koné on percussion, So Kono captures the very essence of Salif Keita: a powerful voice, shaped by trials and travels, elevated by minimalist arrangements. Blending reimagined classics and new compositions, this album resonates as a sincere and timeless work.
Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra return with their fourth musical offering. The album includes the songs The Best Is Yet to Come, Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye, and I Don't Know Why (I Just Do).
The album signifies another step in Marlon's journey with his ancestral tongue, his ability in the language developing as the songs accumulated in the hours spent with close friend and co-writer, rapper Kommi. The language unlocked both a newfound lyrical honesty and a grand sonic vision. Supported by long-time touring band The Yarra Benders, co-producer Mark Perkins (Te Whānau-ā-Apanui), the He Waka Kōtuia singers and featuring a collaboration with pop star Lorde, the album traverses Marlon's familiar folk-country-bluegrass territory, while continuing his exploration of poppier waters and the inherent rhythms of Māori music. The result is a collection at once contemporary and timeless.
The debut album by Tucker Wetmore features nineteen songs that highlight his development as a songwriter and his personal growth. The album includes RIAA platinum-certified debut singles Wine Into Whiskey and Wind Up Missin' You. (Parental Advisory)
