Lars Winnerbäcks fjortonde album, Neutronstjärnan, är ett album han skapat tillsammans med Joakim Berg och Martin Sköld från Kent. Lasses texter fångar med sedvanlig precision hur det är att vara människa i det här landet samtidigt som de ramas in av en vemodig ljudbild omisskännligt signerad Berg och Sköld. Sångerna bär namn som Vår tid, Min gata i stan och Alltid nästan där. En lägesrapport från ett land där våren verkar vägra komma. Eller kanske är precis runt hörnet.

A perennial favorite, MOONDANCE is often regarded as one of the best albums of all time. Ten years ago, the deluxe edition of the record was released to wide acclaim, with critics and fans basking in the context provided by previously unreleased songs from the recording session. This one extends that look behind the curtain into the "making of" a masterpiece. The RIAA-platinum certified classic was written and composed by Van Morrison himself, and is often credited with ushering in the "soft rock" era. Hits from the collection include "Come Running," "Into the Mystic," "Crazy Love," and of course, the title track "Moondance."

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.

Nu släpper Chris Kläfford äntligen sitt debutalbum "Maybe It's Just Me"<br/><br/>Till albumets tio spår hör de redan släppta singlarna "Be Alright", "Buried" och "This Kind of Love" - som alla rör sig inom Chris Kläffords karaktäristiska musikaliska brygd av intim singer/songwriter-närvaro och dynamisk organisk soulpop. Låtar vidgar vyer med livskraftigt schvung, fast texternas kärna är kärleksrelationers eviga komplexitet.<br/><br/>"Maybe It's Just Me" kan vara det mest personliga och nakna debutalbum som en svensk Idol-vinnare har släppt. Och det cementerar Chris Kläfford som någon långt bortom Idol-epitetet. Han är en helt egen artist, från Hägernäs till LA, från en stor skäggig mans saliga stämma, till det mest centrala i vår mänsklighet. Längtan efter att beröra, att bli berörda, och att få dela det.
