Young Neil: Songs for Judy [Gatefold / 2 Vinyl LP]

The Best Of Everything, den första karriär-spännande samlingen med alla Tom Petty hits med The Heartbreakers, hans solo-album och Mudcrutch, ges ut via Geffen. Bland alla hits finns två exklusiva inspelningar som tidigare ej varit utgivna, dels en alternativ version av titelspåret "The Best Of Everything" från albumet Southern Accent med Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers och "For Real". De 38 inspelningar på The Best Of Everything är nyligen remastrade från ursprungliga stereo master-band och digitala filer av Chris Bellman på Bernie Grundman Mastering.

Alan Walker, the Norwegian artist, DJ and producer is one of the most exciting names within electron pop music. With more than 15 billion audio and video streams worldwide, and almost 40 million followers across social media, it is safe to say that the 21-year-old has already put a lasting imprint on the music scene since he first made his mark a few years ago.<br/> <br/>He debuted in late 2015 with the single 'Faded'. It quickly spread like wildfire and has since earned multi-platinum certifications around the world, and billions of plays across streaming services. A string of popular singles has followed, including 'Alone', 'All Falls Down', 'Sing Me To Sleep', 'Darkside' & 'Diamond Heart'. Through his successful run of releases, Alan has also collaborated with and remixed music from Noah Cyrus, Sia, Bruno Mars, Avicii, Coldplay, Miley Cyrus, Kygo, Charli XCX, Julia Michaels and more.<br/><br/>Alan Walker has had an impressive run of more than 500 headliner and festival shows, including Coachella, Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, Lollapalooza and more. In addition, he has supported global superstars such as Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Kygo. This winter and next year Alan will be on a massive 'Different World' tour across Europe, Asia and North America.

180gr Svart vinyl.<br/><br/>"Rock på svenska" är albumet som Robert "Strängen" Dahlqvists jobbade på strax innan han tragiskt gick bort 2017.<br/> <br/>I samråd med Roberts anhöriga färdigställdes inspelningarna till plattan av producent Chips Kiesbye, utifrån de idéer som Strängen och hans bandmedlemmar delgett under alla samtal och planeringsmöten.<br/> <br/>Resultatet, "Rock på svenska", är en salut till rocken. Ett svängigt, personligt och fartfyllt alster. Från rockhymnerna "Thriller" och "Rocken é inte död" till kärleksförklaringen "Din hand" och avslutningsspåret tillägnat dottern "Ingrid". Som kronan på verket framförs dessutom 2016 års singel "Bangatan" nu i fullfjädrad rock-kostym.

GP says; "The end result captures exactly the kind of music I should be making today. There's a few heavyweight emotional tracks it's true, both "Maida Hill" and "Is The Sun Out Anywhere" being prime examples, and "Every Saturday Nite" is only thinly disguised as a jolly pop song by dint of its uplifting chorus groove, but the main thrust of the album is concerned with my signature swing and lyrical playfulness that goes all the way back to "White Honey" and "Lady Doctor," from "Howlin' Wind." And there's six songs with the Rumour Brass on! As stated earlier, Martin Belmont was the musical lynchpin and his suggestion of the basic rhythm section - Simon Edwards on bass and Roy Dodds on drums, was perfect. Roy's drum kit seems to grow out of my acoustic guitar, Simon's bass is endlessly inventive and Martin's guitar work is tone perfect within every song. And with Geraint Watkins on keyboards we have a delightful mix of quirkiness and sweet country/soul riffs caressing every track. What a unique musician he is! And in keeping with my current recording style that goes back to "The Mona Lisa's Sister," the vocals you hear are all live, played along with the acoustic guitar, not one single vocal drop-in took place. I'm very proud of this record, no question. And if your hips aren't swinging two bars into "Girl in Need," you might want to seek medical advice."<br/><br/>We say - his best since Stick to me!
