Sir Rod Stewart's rekindled love of songwriting grows even stronger on his brand-new studio album, THE TEARS OF HERCULES. This is Stewart's fourth new album of original songs since 2013 - and his 31st album to date - and for this latest collection, Stewart wrote nine of the 12 songs, including the first single, "One More Time." In addition to the new tracks, THE TEARS OF HERCULES includes covers of Marc Jordan, Johnny Cash, and more. This is a project close to Rod Stewart's heart, especially the song "Touchline," which he dedicated to his father, who taught him and his brothers to love football, a tradition Sir Rod has passed down to his sons. Rod Stewart is one of the best-selling artists in the history of recorded music, with an estimated 250 million records and singles sold worldwide. His signature voice, style, and songwriting have transcended popular music genres, from rock, folk, soul, R&B, and even the Great American Songbook; making him one of the few stars to enjoy chart-topping albums throughout every decade of his career.

Recorded together at Benny's studio Riksmixningsverket in Stockholm, Voyage will be released worldwide on 5th November on Universal Music Group.<br/><br/>ABBA Voyage will open 27th May 2022 at the ABBA Arena, a state-of-the-art 3,000 capacity arena located at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.

Life is weird and wonderful sometimes."<br/><br/>Wayne McGregor, Choreographer: "Imagine: growing up in the North of England in the 70's and learning to ballroom, Latin and disco dance to the incredible songs of ABBA. I was 8 and I was totally transported. Fast forward to 2020, being in Sweden and dancing with ABBA - in real life! I was about to be 50 and I was totally transported again. That is the magic of ABBA. <br/>We have shared many creative and joyful adventures with a bold collaborative team to make the impossible possible for ABBA Voyage: technological wizardry, state of the art immersion and entertainment innovation. And still at its searing heart we simply have new songs, new moves, classic songs, classic moves: ABBA is DANCE and always will be. See you on the dancefloor".<br/><br/>Sir Lucian Grainge, Chairman & CEO, Universal Music Group:<br/>"From the very beginning of my career, and having had the privilege to work with them directly for many years since, it's been a tremendous joy to be surrounded by ABBA and their music.

Adele: 30 2021 [CD]

Coldplay: Music of the spheres 2021 [Digipack / CD]

På sitt sjätte album "The Future Bites" levererar Steven Wilson som vanligt intelligenta betraktelser av världen runt oss - vem styr egentligen? Människan, eller tekniken vi skapat? När allt rör sig snabbare och allt sker online, vem har handen på nödbromsen? Steven Wilson som startade sin karriär som frontman i Porcupine Tree guidar oss igenom sin dystopiska värld. Som vanligt rör vi oss i gränslandet mellan progg och rock och allt kryddas med electronica och kläs i vissa fall av till rena akustiska partier.
