Robert Plant's Saving Grace, his first album with a new band of distinguished players, is what he calls "a song book of the lost and found." Its genesis was during lockdown in "The Shire," when Plant's customary wandering was all but forbidden. It was in the English countryside that he connected closely to this diverse group of musicians-vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, cellist Barney Morse-Brown-who had a shared lean towards his corners of evocative song. Produced by Plant and the band and recorded over six years in the Cotswolds and on the Welsh Borders, Saving Grace breathes fresh life into a treasury of songs by Memphis Minnie, Bob Mosley (Moby Grape), Blind Willie Johnson, The Low Anthem, Martha Scanlan, Sarah Siskind, and Low.

In Genesis' incredible body of work, 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway' is a landmark record. Originally released on 22 November 1974, at the pinnacle of their early success, it came at a pivotal point in Genesis' history.

Buckingham Nicks is the only studio album by the iconic duo of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. Produced by Keith Olsen, the album was released in September 1973, just a year prior to the pair joining forces with Fleetwood Mac on New Year's Eve 1974.<br/>Buckingham Nicks has achieved legendary status despite, and perhaps due to the fact, that it has never been remastered, reissued, or officially released digitally. Until now. This was the album that caught Mick Fleetwood's attention and led them becoming one of the most successful bands of all time.<br/><br/>LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM: "I met Mick right before New Year's Eve in 1974. Stevie and I were living in LA. We'd done an album on Polydor as a duo, which had come out without making much of a splash, and we were trying to figure out what the hell to do next. Anyway, we were doing demos of new tunes one day at Sound City studio in the San Fernando Valley. At one point I walked towards the control room. I heard a song of ours, "Frozen Love", being played very loudly and I saw this giant of a man standing up, grooving to a guitar solo of mine. I thought, "What is goin' on?", and left them to it. That man was Mick.<br/>When he heard my guitar something obviously clicked in his mind, because after their guitarist Bob Welch left, I got a call from Mick asking if I wanted to join Fleetwood Mac. Originally they weren't looking for a duo, but I said Stevie and I were a package deal."

På albumet "Sommarland" har Darin jobbat med bland andra William Forsling och Petter Alfredsson (Molly Sandén, Leksell, Newkid) och titelspåret sätter tonen för albumet med sin solkyssta inbjudan att njuta av livet.

På sitt album "Hemland" tolkar Titiyo svenska låtar som hon inspirerats av genom åren men som också säger något om samtiden - och vad hon själv har för förhoppningar på framtiden.<br/>Första singeln "Sakta lägger båten ut från land" må vara skriven av Bob Dylan men förutom att Titiyo tillsammans med Daniel Bengtson från Studio Rymden tar versionen från El Rojo Adios och lyfter dess produktion lånar hon översättningen av Mikael Wiehe.<br/> <br/> <br/>I år har det gått tio år sedan Titiyo första svenskspråkiga fullängdare, den i stora stycken självbiografiska "13 gården".<br/>Under det gångna decenniet har hon varit med om åtskilliga höjdpunkter, som att bli mamma igen, men hon har också upplevt hur världen och livet förändrats.<br/>Allt det här har funnits med vid skapandet av "Hemland", det kommande albumet där hon tolkar svenska låtar som hon inspirerats av genom åren men som också säger något om henne och om samtiden - och vad hon själv har för förhoppningar på framtiden.<br/>- Det är alltid emotionellt att spela in en skiva men den här gången blev det ännu mer påtagligt, säger hon. Det är så starka låtar som allihop uttrycker så mycket, men också för att jag gått igenom en tung period där jag tvingats känna efter och gå till botten med saker. Då har det varit väldigt skönt att ha kreativiteten och den här skivan att hålla i handen. Det känns som att jag går in i en ny fas nu.<br/>Första smakprovet från albumet är en låt som hon redan har gett ut, men då på engelska. 2012 släppte Titiyo en platta med sidoprojektet El Rojo Adios där hon gjorde en gastkramande tolkning av Bob Dylans "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", som har blivit något av en publikfavorit. Nu gör hon den på nytt, fast med texten lånad från Mikael Wiehes översättning (från 1978 års album "Sjömansvisor"). <br/>- Det gick förvånansvärt lätt att hitta in i den svenska texten och få den att landa naturligt, säger Titiyo.

In the twenty-five years since The Hives exploded around the world, they have sold out stadiums and shared stages with everyone from AC/DC to The Rolling Stones. SPIN calls The Hives "the best live band on the planet" and Howlin' Pelle "the greatest frontman in rock," and the BBC dubbed the band "a force of nature." Rolling Stone named Veni Vidi Vicious one of the Top 100 Albums of the decade and "Hate To Say I Told You So" earned a spot on Pitchfork's Top 500 Songs of the 2000's. They have sold millions of albums world-wide with multiple RIAA Gold-certifications. In the time since Lex Hives, the band has released 2019's double A-side "I'm Alive"/"Good Samaritan" as well as a live album via Third Man Records, and embarked on a series of global tours. The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons marked a true renaissance for the band in 2023 hitting #1 in Sweden, #2 in the UK and worldwide touring. If that was THE COMEBACK, The Hives new record is all set to be THE TAKEOVER!
