Valerie Bartinelli

Acclaimed Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Valerie June presents 'Under Cover' - a specially curated 8-track covers collection that contains singular interpretations of some of her favorite songs including previously unreleased versions of Mazzy Star's 'Fade Into You', Frank Ocean's 'Godspeed', Joe South's 'Don't It Make You Want To Go Home', Gillian Welch's 'Look At Miss Ohio' and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' 'Into My Arms'. Under Cover also includes two tracks from Valerie's (digital only) 'The Moon and Stars: Prescriptions For Dreamers' Deluxe Edition: John Lennon's 'Imagine' and Nick Drake's 'Pink Moon'. Dylan's sublime 'Tonight I'll Be Staying Here with You' which was only available as an Amazon Original exclusive, rounds out the set.

Chesky Records is pleased to announce the national recording debut of vocalist Valerie Joyce with the release of "New York Blue". This album is a collection of classic jazz, standards, and pop tunes that showcase the singer's distinctively smoky vocal sound and nuanced performance. Producer David Chesky says, "Valerie has a great feel for the music and has one of the most unique singing voices I have ever heard".

Canadian harpist Valérie Milot chose the title of this album to acknowledge the circle of valued musical colleagues she has worked with over the years and to reference the loop as a musical concept, a seemingly simple melodic or rhythmical motif that serves as both framework and source of inspiration. The programme features six complementary approaches, ranging from music by John Cage, Gentle Giant and Frank Zappa to the premiere of violinist Antoine Bareil’s Castille 1382, written especially for Milot.

The Look of Love is Valerie Joyce's much anticipated follow-up to her Chesky debut, featuring elegantly chic original arrangements of the classic pieces in Burt Bacharach & Hal David's catalogue. This super audio CD was recorded in multi-channel surround sound using Chesky's state of the art minimalist miking techniques and the world's finest custom-made electronics to assure the purest, most natural sounding recording available.
