Graceful and elegant, joyously exuberant, witty and wise, innocent yet sophisticated, hauntingly eloquent, deeply passionate and irresistibly beautiful: the solo piano music of Francis Poulenc reveals a world of emotion, intellect and variety. From the gentle poetry of his Novelettes and Nocturnes to the tongue-in-cheek brilliance of the Promenades, the bittersweet yet tender nostalgia of the Soir es de Nazelles, and the sheer delight of Babar the Elephant, this 5CD album presents the complete solo piano works of this extraordinary composer. Australian pianist Antony Gray, internationally acclaimed for his unique blend of musical insight and technical mastery, places his remarkable talents at the service of Poulenc's genius in this landmark collection.

2006's Coming Home was Lionel Richie's most commercially successful release since 1986's Dancing on the Ceiling. It was the first time since then that one of the singer's albums peaked within the Top Ten of the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. Much of its success could be attributed to "I Call It Love," a collaboration with StarGate. So, on Just Go, Richie's fourth studio set of the 2000s, he continues to work with StarGate and adds some of their hitmaking contemporaries, namely Akon and the duo of Terius "The-Dream" Nash and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart (Rihanna's "Umbrella," Beyoncé's "Single Ladies," the-Dream's own hits).
