Lasse Stefanz: Världens bästa Lasse Stefanz 2023 [2 CD]

Paul Simon, who has consistently crafted some of the most influential and enduring work in the history of music, has announced the release of his highly anticipated musical work, Seven Psalms. Intended to be listened to as one continuous piece, the 33-minute, seven-movement composition transcends the concept of the "album". <br/> <br/>Recorded entirely on acoustic instruments, and predominantly performed by Paul, Seven Psalms showcases Simon's craft at its finest and most captivating, simply with his voice and guitar. <br/> <br/>A stunning, intricately layered work, it's a record which establishes an engaging and meditative, almost hymnal soundscape, with Paul's lyrics providing the gravitational center for constellations of sound woven from guitar strings and other acoustic instrumentation - including choral elements from the highly-regarded British vocal ensemble VOCES8, and a beautiful vocal appearance by Edie Brickell.<br/> <br/>True to the origin of psalms as hymns meant to be sung rather than spoken, Seven Psalms reaches back to the very genesis of folk music: King David's Psalms. The result is a quietly moving musical experience which uncovers a wealth of subtle details with every repeated listen. A step apart from anything Paul Simon has released before, Seven Psalms defies categorization. <br/> <br/>The record's tone is complemented by its artwork, which features a close-up extract of "Two Owls" by the celebrated landscape artist Thomas Moran.<br/>Produced by Paul Simon and Kyle Crusham, Seven Psalms is a single suite of music.

Eurovision Song Contest Liverpool 2023 [2 CD]

Detta är Gabriels första nya material sedan albumet "Up" som kom 2002. Under 2023 släpptes ett nytt spår från denna platta vid varje fullmåne, och nu är det äntligen dags att ta in verket i sin helhet. Peter Gabriel är en unik artist som aldrig kompromissat med sin konst och som under årens lopp levererat musik som är både komplex och komplicerad, men också rak och glädjefylld.<br/><br/>Detta album levereras i tre olika mixar: The Bright side-mix (av Mark "Spike" Stent), The Dark side-mix (av Tchad Blake) och The In-Side-mix (som är en Dolby Atmos-mix). Här kan vi uppleva Gabriels kreation ur olika synvinklar och från olika perspektiv. Ett ovanligt drag, men Peter Gabriel har ju alltid tänjt på gränserna.<br/><br/>2CD (innehåller The Bright- och The Dark-mix).

Hon är utan tvivel en av de största kvinnliga artisterna genom tiderna, känd både för sin röst, sin image, sin humor och inte minst som låtskrivare - Dolly Parton spelar i en liga för sig! Under sina 50 år som artist har hon haft en enastående och fascinerande karriär. Hon är i grund och botten en countryartist, men har genom åren, och genom sin fingertoppskänsla, blivit folkkär som få. <br/><br/>Nu släpper Parton detta album som består av nio helt nya låtar och hela 21 klassiska rocklåtar. På "Rockstar" får vi höra en massa prominenta gäster, eller vad sägs om den här listan: Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr (The Beatles), Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Sting, Steve Perry (Journey), <br/>Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac), Joan Jett, Elton John, Debbie Harry (Blondie), Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran), Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), Ann Wilson (Heart) och en massa andra! <br/><br/>De framför bl.a. odödliga klassiker som "Every Breath You Take", "We Are The Champions", "Purple Rain", "I Hate Myself For Loving You", "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", "Stairway To Heaven", "Free Bird" och "Let It Be".
