Sept ans après leur disque inaugural, With Love, le retour de Yom et de ses acolytes, les Wonder Rabbis, pour un voyage au cœur d’une énergie brute, primale et bouillonnante, avec un son massif, pour faire à nouveau danser les gens. Force primitive et tribale, sève puissante, ténébreuse, chamanique, bouillonnement sonore souterrain et magmatique, qui jaillirait des entrailles de la terre et du feu intérieur des musiciens.

"Music is possibly the only human endeavor that has the potential to match nature's evanescent splendor," writes composer Jordan Pal in the liner notes for Into the Wonder, a new album featuring two of his compositions, performed by the Gryphon Trio and the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra (TBSO) under Arthur Post.

Stevie Wonder is a soul music giant, a beloved American icon, and an indisputable genius of popular music. The musician's heightened awareness of sound – a consequence of his blindness – has helped him create vibrant music teeming with joyous positivity, even when he's written about heartbreak and addressed issues of race, spirituality, and society in general. Wonder's recordings are a richly eclectic and singular brew of soul, funk, rock & roll, Broadway/Tin Pan Alley-style pop, jazz, reggae, and African elements. Combined with his elastic voice, peerless melodic facility, gift for complex arrangements, and taste for lovely ballads, his broad appeal over the decades has been unmatched.

Korea's favorite female quintet Wonder Girls looks to continue their winning streak, aiming once again for the top spot in the music charts with their latest project album The Wonder Years - Trilogy. Whisking their fans back to the '60s and '70s Motown era, the principle track Nobody completes the circle of their retro revival musical journey which began with the mid/late '80s-style pop dance hit Tell Me and their early '80s synth-pop So Hot - both of which topped the charts and started new dance trends. Under the guidance of world-renowned producer Park Jin Young, the group brings a trendy twist to classic tunes, hoping to ignite yet another round of retro fever. Taking inspiration from Motown classics like The Supremes' You Keep Me Hangin' On, Martha & The Vandellas's Dancing in the Streets, The Ronettes' Be My Baby, and The Crystals' Da Doo Ron Ron, Nobody sees the Wonder Girls successfully reviving the era as they deliver a breathtaking performance in the song's music video which is reminiscent of a scene from the 2006 Hollywood musical Dreamgirls.
