Reinhard Mey The Song Maker hi Res

Limited to 1000 copies for RSD UK. The Flirtations are poised to release ‘Still Sounds Like the Flirtations’ – their first album of new material in 55 years. They are best known for their 1969 signature song, "Nothing But A Heartache”, off their debut album ‘Sounds Like the Flirtations’. That song spent 14 weeks on Billboard’s Hot 100, and its success saw the group tour with Stevie Wonder, Tom Jones, The Four Tops and The Temptations. “Nothing But a Heartache” remains an undeniable Northern Soul classic; it has been streamed over 13 million times, and in 2022 was remixed by Tobtok and Oliver Nelson. On their forthcoming album, which was produced, engineered, mixed, and co-written by Ben Rice (Joan Osborne, Valerie June), Earnestine Pearce, Shirley Pearce, and Viola Billups aka Pearly Gates tell the stories of their lives. Drawing inspiration from the churn of personal, social, and political situations that they have lived through over the past five decades, they capture a timeless and well-earned perspective on love and life.

The bleak and foreboding landscape surrounding Keeley's North Yorkshire home seems to inhabit her third LP, 'The Hollow'. The moors, visible from her studio window, impact upon a music that feels made of these places: windswept, rain-soaked and blinking through the low-lit landscape. The album's title derives from discovering a long-abandoned mining shaft whilst out walking - the past lurking within and haunting the present we now occupy. A connection to time that places us within it, facing what is gone and what may come. But also, perhaps that time has no concern as to whether we're here or not.

Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, guitarist, & producer James Bay upholds traditions of timeless song craft & clever lyricism on his fourth studio album, Changes All The Time, out October 4 via Mercury Records.

Atlantic Records & Universal Pictures are proud to announce Twisters: The Album - the star-studded musical companion to Twisters, a current-day chapter of the 1996 blockbuster, Twister. The unprecedented album features brand new tracks from Luke Combs and many more. From the producers of the Jurassic, Bourne and Indiana Jones franchises, Twisters is directed by Lee Isaac Chung, the Oscar® nominated writer-director of Minari, and stars Daisy Edgar-Jones (Where the Crawdads Sing), Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick) and Anthony Ramos (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) as equal forces, with opposing motivations, who come together to try to predict, and possibly tame, the immense power of tornadoes.

Though she's often lumped into the freak folk category, Jessica Pratt is gauze-wrapped edges and soft curves; there is none of the angularity of, say, Karen Dalton, or the calculated quirk of Devendra Banhart. At times, she has more in common with jazz queen Blossom Dearie's light touch. For her fourth album, Pratt wanted to capture "big panoramic sounds that make you think of the ocean and California''—more specifically, the lost-innocence period post Summer of Love, when the sun and Hollywood stars burned brightly but Los Angeles was gripped by fear and loathing. (Tail-end 1960s cultural touchpoints: Helter Skelter, Kenneth Anger, Eve Babitz, Friends-era Beach Boys.)

Gatefold. On her new album Sun Without the Heat, McCalla brings more playfulness and joy than she has on previous records when she speaks to the concerns that have shaped her career, mainly including an ethos in which you must look back at lost and erased histories before you can embrace a forward vision of Afrofuturism and the importance of music making to heal and forge relationships across differences. Across Sun Without the Heat's ten tracks, she achieves this with music that combines jazz, Haitian Twoubadou, American blues, folk and Brazilian Tropicalismo.Born in New York City to Haitian emigrants and activists, McCalla possesses a stunning mastery of the cello, tenor banjo and guitar.

In this intimate, nocturnal album, Yom heads out in search of an ancestral heritage buried deep within himself. Unseen shadows shrouded by history who leave an atom of themselves in each of us, who shape us and sometimes find expression with or through us. In the company of shadows, and yet, alone… Alone in the Light follows the path of a long inner quest that explores secrets, time lost and found again. But while he may sometimes rage violently in response to storms and tragedies, Yom's clarinet opens a voluptuous path towards a tranquil light. Like the promise of a peaceful dawn…
