Stefan Kozalla's Amygdala featuring contributions from Caribou, Matthew Dear, and more, is uncommonly engrossing for a techno record. Blessed with the carefree spirit of lounge music and Quiet Storm, and dressed up in tiedye, the music on Amygdala glows with an easy confidence.

Recorded in the spring of 2010 and then mysteriously abandoned by Prince before its release, the statement album Welcome 2 America documents Prince’s concerns, hopes, and visions for a shifting society, presciently foreshadowing an era of political division, disinformation, and a renewed fight for racial justice. The album features some of Prince’s only studio collaborations with the bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, drummer Chris Coleman, and engineer Jason Agel, with additional contributions from New Power Generation singers Shelby J, Liv Warfield, and Elisa Fiorillo and keyboardist Morris Hayes, who Prince also recruited to co-produce the album. The Deluxe Edition of Welcome 2 America combines the 2LP and CD versions of the album with a never before released Blu-Ray of Prince’s full April 28, 2011 performance at the Forum, part of the Welcome 2 America Tour’s historic 21 Nite Stand in Los Angeles. The show is presented in stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos, and includes 24 tracks from across Prince’s career, from his biggest hits to fan favorites to ten rare covers. In addition, the deluxe edition features a 32 page 12x12 book, exclusive poster and an embossed vellum envelope of limited edition memorabilia all housed in a luxe, gold embossed package. Experienced as a complete package, the Deluxe Edition provides an immersive view of Prince’s creative genius during his spontaneous, energetic, and thought-provoking Welcome 2 America era.

15 tracks, produced by Switch, Hit-Boy, The Weeknd & others!

Multi-platinum singer-songwriterVanceJoyhas announced his highly anticipated third studio album, In Our Own Sweet Time. Created mostly in the pandemic, the album is Joy's most personal project yet. Realizing what truly matters and growing in new ways personally and creatively, In Our Own Sweet Timeis fueled by old friends, new memories and finding love in a not-so-hopeless place. The eagerly awaited new album includes collaborations with hitmakers such asJoel Little (Lorde, Taylor Swift), Dan Wilson (Adele, Leon Bridges), Take a Day Trip (Miley Cyrus, Lil Nas X) and more.

Blue - also Antony Costa, Duncan James, Lee Ryan und Simon Webbe -, das ist so ein Name, der einen automatisch in die Boygroup-Ära transportiert: Sie waren nicht nur einer der größten und erfolgreichsten Acts jener Hochphase, sondern vor allem auch einer der besten. Auf den drei Alben, die ihnen in den Nullerjahren Spitzenplätze in den Charts (u.a. 3x #1 UK, 1x Top-10 DE) und reichlich Platin bescheren sollten, verschränkten sie lässigen R&B mit hochauflösender Pop-Perfektion und emotionalen Balladen, was der im Jahr 2000 gegründeten Boygroup nicht nur 16 Millionen verkaufte Albumeinheiten bescherte. Auch zwei BRITs räumten sie ab im Königreich, wo sie gleich 11 Mal die Topregion der UK-Singlecharts aufmischen konnten und davon gleich noch drei Mal die #1 belegten.

Parallel zur Stadiontournee werden Blue im Herbst ihr sechstes Album Heart & Soul veröffentlichen - ihr erstes fürs neue Label Tag8 Music/BMG. Der neue Longplayer unterstreicht und zelebriert all das, was die Band während ihrer ersten Blütezeit ausmachte, denn er spielt immer wieder auf die Vergangenheit an, bringt aber auch kontinuierlich Neues ins Spiel. Ihr Trademark-Sound schwingt im sorglos-ausgelassenen Titelsong, der von MNEK (Beyoncé, Little Mix) mitkomponiert wurde, genauso mit wie in der gefühlvollen Ballade "Magnetic", bei der die Jungs mal wieder ihr ganzes umwerfendes Stimmvolumen auspacken dürfen. Mit der Leadsingle "Haven't Found You Yet" legen Blue einen Instant-Classic vor, der klanglich eher in Richtung Justin Bieber oder auch jüngere Coldplay-Hits geht. Man hört, dass sie unbedingt alles geben wollten für Heart & Soul.

This album is like a private and historical dive into Laurence Vanay’ work. The tracks had been selected by her own daughter, Marine Thibault (SEYES, Lia Moon, Wax Taylor), in order to (re)discover the sensitive and unique repertoire of an unknown artist but yet part of her time’s avant-garde.

This musical collection title, Ghost Notes from the Stone Vessel, directly refers to Mon Vaisseau de Pierre (My Stone Vessel) a goodbye song written by Laurence Vanay when she had to leave the Château d’Hérouville, a so called recording studio she headed with her husband Laurent Thibault. Moreover, all tracks had been written, composed and recorded at the Château between 1974 and 1985.
