Gianna Nannini är en av Italiens mest kända och bästsäljande sångerskor. Gianna debuterade redan 1976 och hennes största hit är definitivt "I Masschi" från 1987. Nu är det dags för henne att släppa ett album som fått titeln "Amore Gigante".

Neil Young opens his archive and release Hitchhiker, an unreleased new studio album. The 10-track acoustic solo album was recorded in Malibu, CA at Indigo Studio in 1976. The original session was produced by Young's long-time studio collaborator David Briggs.<br/> <br/>Recorded between Zuma and American Stars and Bars as a solo album in a single session, the resultant performances are truly breathtaking and passionate. The simplicity of a single voice and guitar captured here is as pure and powerful as it gets, with only Young, Briggs and actor Dean Stockwell in the room at the time of recording. A few of the songs would not appear on vinyl until years later. Some have never been heard, included in the original sessions for Neil Young and Crazy Horse's Dume, another unreleased record of original sessions that yielded the classic album, Zuma. When the Hitchhiker album was recorded, none of the included songs had ever been released and many of the performances of the songs were the first ever. This is truly an album of original performances.

Världens genom tiderna bästa rockplatta?<br/>50 år efter att Beatles överraskade musikvärlden med denna evigt unga klassiker är det fortfarande många som anser att "Sgt Pepper" håller ställningen i toppen. <br/><br/>Som 50-årspresent till alla musikälskare släpps nu albumet i flera olika versioner: CD, dubbel-CD, vinyl, DL och - inte minst fullmatad en Deluxebox med 4 CD, BR och DVD. Plattan ges ut i en ny fräsch stereomix av Giles Martin. Detta är också första gången som en Beatlesskiva mixats om sedan utgivningen 2003 av "Let It Be. Naked". <br/><br/>Men dessutom kan fantasterna glädjas åt mängder av tidigare outgivna versioner och tagningar av de klassiska låtarna som bonus. På Deluxe-boxen ryms hela tre extra-CD med spännande versioner och nya mixar i såväl stereo som mono. Dessutom ingår singelspåren "Strawberry Fields Forever" och "Penny Lane" som ursprungligen var tänkta att ingå på plattan. På BR och DVD återfinns en ny 5.1 Stereo Mix, en dokumentär, videor och andra godsaker. Och tidlös magisk musik. Årets återutgivning? Utan tvekan.

If Europe's 2015 album "War Of Kings" was the album that made the rock world realise what a formidable act Europe had become then "Walk The Earth" is the album that is set to establish the band as one of the most exciting contemporary rock acts of current times.<br/><br/>From the anthemic sound of the opening track "Walk The Earth" - to the heavy vibe that is "Haze", from the instant melody of "Election Day" to the lyrical content of "Kingdom United", "Walk The Earth" is the album that should see Europe rightly acclaimed as a band at the height of their powers. The wonderful melodies and depth of Joey Tempest's vocals along with a powerhouse rhythm section and the guitar playing of John Norum, one of the great underrated guitarists. Norum's guitar playing shines across the record. This is an album that is big in its scope and sound. Much like previous album "War Of Kings", "Walk The Earth" is an album that has instant appeal but is also an album that needs to be lived with, in order to uncover its depth. The album was recorded at famed Abbey Road Studios in London with Grammy winning producer Dave Cobb (Rival Sons, Shooter Jennings, Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton).<br/><br/>DVD Special Edition Content:<br/>30+ minutes Bonus DVD featuring the individual band members discussing their time and their recording experience at Abbey Road.
