The debut full-length album from Lafawndah, from her own label imprint Concordia, is a bracing statement of intent, heralding an artist unbound in scope, scale, and intensity. Her finesse with song architecture imbue the LP with an uncanny addictiveness: anthems loaded with trap doors. The album imagines pop music that is neither imperial nor local, but freedom of movement; a residue, perhaps, from the album's nomadic creation between Los Angeles, Mexico City, New York, London, and Paris.

Squirrel Nut Zippers release the follow-up to their Lost At Sea album.

In 1516 Ludovico Ariosto published his powerful epic 'Orlando furioso,' a sequence of intertwined heroic adventures. Dozens of operas were created around Orlando and other characters from Ariosto‘s epic. Countertenor Filippo Mineccia has put together a varied program of arias from operas by Steffani, Porpora, Vivaldi, Handel, Mele, Wagenseil, and Millico around the figure of 'Raging Roland,' in which he brilliantly displays all the creative facets of his voice.

Norah Jones's album features collaborators from Brian Blade to Jeff Tweedy, and grew out of her acclaimed singles series of the past two years as the songs she hadn’t yet released unexpectedly congealed into an album of tremendous depth and beauty connected by the sly groove of her piano trios, lyrics that confront loss and portend hope, and a mood that leans into darkness before ultimately finding the light.

Fifty years after the original made him a global superstar Yusuf/Cat Stevens has recorded an entirely new version of his classic 1970 album Tea for the Tillerman.

L'Oracolo in Messenia, an opera written by Vivaldi for Vienna in 1740, was reconstructed by Fabio Biondi in 2011 in a triumphant open to the famous Resonanzen festival in Vienna, appropriately enough. Originally, the opera was intended to be performed in Vienna during Carnival in 1741, but due to the death of the Austrian Emperor and ultimately, himself, his plans fell through. Vivaldi expert, Fabio Biondi, reconstructed the work using a recently discovered libretto in the Library of Congress, Viavaldi's personal scores as well as those from his contemporaries.

The new album from Charley Crockett is perhaps even more potent proof of his literal heartbreak than the scar on his chest. After undergoing open-heart surgery that saved his life, Charley says he wanted to make a new kind of country album. That album is an aptly named collection that perfectly fits these troubled days even though it was made just before the pandemic hit. The music was shaped by his heart issues and producer Mark Neill’s desire to make a dark gothic country record.

From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada, and recently seen on Austin City Limits, Colter Wall sings songs of the great West.

Colter Wall’s fourth album recorded at Yellow Dog Studios in Wimberley, TX, and produced by Wall.
