Mixing the heartfelt angst of a singer/songwriter with the cocky brashness of a garage rocker, Ryan Adams is at once one of the few artists to emerge from the alt-country scene into mainstream commercial success and the one who most strongly refuses to be defined by the genre, leaping from one spot to another stylistically as he follows his muse. After the collapse of his alt-country band Whiskeytown, Adams wasted no time launching a prolific solo career, releasing a string of award-winning albums. A prolific collaborator and producer as well, Adams has worked with an eclectic set of artists including Willie Nelson, Fall Out Boy, Cowboy Junkies, Jenny Lewis, and Toots & the Maytals.

David Ryan Adams (born November 5, 1974) is an American rock and country singer-songwriter. He has released 29 studio albums and three as a former member of Whiskeytown.

In 2000, Adams left Whiskeytown and released his debut solo album, Heartbreaker, to critical acclaim. The album was nominated for the Shortlist Music Prize. The following year, his profile increased with the release of the UK certified-gold Gold, which included the single, “New York, New York”. During this time, Adams worked on several unreleased albums, which were consolidated into a third solo release, Demolition (2002). Working at a prolific rate, Adams released the classic rock-influenced Rock N Roll (2003), after a planned album, Love Is Hell, was rejected by his label Lost Highway. As a compromise, Love Is Hell was released as two EPs and eventually released in its full-length state in 2004.

Lewis Capaldi has announced details of a new extended version of his latest album, Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent. The album, which originally came out in May, will be receiving an extended edition with five extra tracks.

Capaldi also touched on his hiatus to focus on his mental health. He wrote on X/Twitter, “As most of you will know, I’m currently taking some time off to focus on my health and wellbeing and it’s been going great! I’ve been working with some incredible professionals to help me learn about and cope better with my Tourette’s and anxiety issues. I’m really happy to say I’ve noticed a marked improvement in both since I decided to take some time off back in June.” Check out the full post here.

Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent sees the Scottish singer-songwriter double down on the raw emotional honesty and powerful vocal work of its predecessor. He worked on the sophomore effort with super-producer Max Martin, Grammy-winning producer/songwriter Malay, and longtime collaborators like producer/songwriter Phil Plested.

Two female musicians leave their home countries to establish themselves in foreign lands and take a musical retrospect. Katja Zakotnik and Naila Alvarenga Lahmann present music from Slovenia, Brazil and Germany on their new GENUIN CD. We embark with them on a highly emotional journey, traversing all the mountains and valleys that the multifaceted concept of “home” entails. We encounter well-known composers such as Johannes Brahms and Heitor Villa-Lobos and new names such as Blaž Pucihar and André Mehmari. The compositions of the young Slovenian Urška Orešič (world premiere recording of her “Little Diamonds”) and the Brazilian Chiquinha Gonzaga add variety to the CD and tempt us to look with interest at the feminine side of these countries’ musical creations.

Duarte’s Partita was completed in 1974. It’s a substantial work in four movements, using all original material. As in the Variations on a Theme of Štěpán Rak he adopts a four-note motif, which may be heard forwards, backwards, inverted and stretched. Variations on an Italian Folk Song Op.139 was written in 2000. It draws on the second movement, “Canzona”, of Duarte’s prior Suite piemontese, which was based on a combination of two tunes: Il testamento dell’avvelenato and Re Gilardin. This gentle theme is characterised by simple movements of a step or a fourth. The six variations all begin with this stepwise movement but they quickly gain individual characters. Valse lyrique (2000) is one of the three short dances Duarte wrote late in his career. The second theme, clearly derived from the first, includes some hemiolas as well as combined harmonics and natural notes. The central section features the melody in the bass. Valse en rondeau was written in 1997 for the American guitarist David Starobin. Duarte stated: “I decided to make reference to my origin as a jazz musician and to my interest in early music (the Rondeau form) and to exercise my unshakeable belief in melody.” The origin of the Variations on a Theme of Štěpán Rak Op.100 is unique. In 1984 Rak was staying with Duarte when Vladimir Mikulka performed a lunchtime concert in London.

First Snow of The Year is the project of Belgium-based artist Erik Sevenans, who adopted this moniker in 2017 following his relocation to Munich, Germany. Whilst grappling with a foreign language and adjusting to his new environment, Erik found himself in the midst of an exceptionally cold winter that year. During this period of adaptation, he embarked on the creation of an album, delving into the exploration of ambient textures, a departure from his usual musical terrain. The album, born out of this experimental phase, coincided with the first snowfall of the year, thus being the reason for the project’s distinctive name. Originally conceived as Erik’s personal soundtrack for his daily subway commute while engrossed in Murakami novels, the project took on a life of its own.

Deux Te Deum en miroir : celui, très célèbre, de Marc-Antoine Charpentier ; et celui, totalement inédit, d’Henry Desmarest. Charpentier et Desmarets, de remarquables compositeurs tant dans le domaine de la musique sacrée que dans l’opéra, partagent leur goût de la musique italienne et des voyages, mais partagent également la défaveur d’avoir été quelques temps dans « l’ombre » de Jean-Baptiste Lully… Desmarest a composé deux Te Deum durant sa période lorraine, dont le Te Deum « de Lyon » totalement inédit. Écrit pour la même formation que le célèbre Te Deum de Charpentier, il utilise les trompettes et timbales pour les sections grandiloquentes.

“Vintage” is what oddly keeps popping into my mind as I listen to this music. It’s brand new! But then again, like a harvest of great grapes ready to be blended, a first taste shows the quality. All the elements, the terroir is there.
