Sveriges starkast lysande popstjärna har under senaste åren briljerat i branschen som ingen annan. Trots sina 19 unga år har hon redan öppnat för Beyoncé i London, gjort succé i världskända Jimmy Fallon & Ellen DeGeneres talkshows, och stått värd för den officiella EM-låten "This One's For You" tillsammans med David Guetta. <br/><br/>Zara slog igenom TV4:s i Talang 2008 där hon vann hela tävlingen och därefter signade med skivbolaget TEN Music Group. Året efter kammade Zara hem "Årets Genombrott" och "Årets Kvinnliga Liveartist" i Rockbjörnen och därmed blev den yngsta artisten någonsin att vinna två Rockbjörnar.<br/><br/>På albumet 'So Good' utlovas både nya coola samarbeten och en blandning av den flörtiga pop vi tidigare fått ta del av tillsammans med kaxiga urban vibes likt "Aint My Fault".

With notable collaborations and fresh arrangements, Paul Simon revisits and lends new perspective to ten of his personal favorites from his body of work.<br/><br/>"This album consists of songs that I thought were almost right, or were odd enough to be overlooked the first time around. Re-doing arrangements, harmonic structures, and lyrics that didn't make their meaning clear, gave me time to clarify in my own head what I wanted to say, or realize what I was thinking and make it more easily understood."<br/>- Paul Simon, July 2018<br/><br/>Produced by Simon and Roy Halee, who have worked together since the 1960s, the album features a talented cast of musicians who have joined Simon to lend fresh perspectives on 10 of the artist's favorite (though perhaps less-familiar) songs, drawn from his unparalleled body of work.<br/><br/>Revisiting his repertoire, Simon has selected songs originally appearing on There Goes Rhymin' Simon (1973), Still Crazy After All These Years (1975), One-Trick Pony (1980), Hearts and Bones (1983), The Rhythm of The Saints (1990), You're The One (2000) and So Beautiful Or So What (2011), refreshing and transforming the compositions through new arrangements and collaborations.<br/><br/>Among the many musicians joining Simon on In The Blue Light are jazz icons trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, guitarist Bill Frisell, and drummers Jack DeJohnette and Steve Gadd. Two of the compositions recorded with the New York-based chamber ensemble sextet yMusic, "Can't Run But" and "Rene and Georgette Magritte with Their Dog After the War," are being brought to the stage each night as show-stopping highlights on Simon's Homeward Bound - The Farewell Tour. <br/><br/>Simon explains in the album's liner notes, "It's an unusual occurrence for an artist to have the opportunity to revisit earlier works and re-think them; to modify, even completely change parts of the originals.<br/><br/>"Happily, this opportunity also gave me the gift of playing with an extraordinary group of musicians, most of whom I hadn't recorded with before. I hope the listener will find these new versions of old songs refreshed, like a new coat of paint on the walls of an old family home."

Johnny Cash dog den 12 september 2003. Månaderna innan hans död spelade han in nytt material tillsammans med producenten Rick Rubin. Albumet "American V: A hundred highways" innehåller låtar skrivna av låtskrivare som Hank Williams, Rod McKuen, Bruce Springsteen, Don Gibson m fl. Dessutom innehåller albumet två låtar skrivna av Cash själv varav låten "Like the 309" var den sista låt han skrev och spelade in. <br/><br/>"I think that 'American V' may be my favorite of all the albums in the American series. It's different from all the others, it has a much different character. I think that this is as strong an album as Johnny ever made. These songs are Johnny's final statement. They are the truest reflection of music that was central to his life at the time. This is the music Johnny wanted us to hear". - Rick Rubin
