Nearly two decades into her storied career singer, songwriter & pianist Norah Jones will release her first full live album ‘Til We Meet Again on April 16. The collection presents globe-spanning performances from the U.S., France, Italy, Brazil, and Argentina that were recorded between 2017-2019. The first single “It Was You” was recorded at the 2018 Ohana Festival in Dana Point, California with Pete Remm on organ, Christopher Thomas on bass, and Brian Blade on drums. Additional musicians featured on the album include bassist Jesse Murphy, guitarist Jesse Harris, flutist Jorge Continentino, and percussionist Marcelo Costa. ‘Til We Meet Again can be pre-ordered now on vinyl, CD, or digital download.
“I play yours, you play mine. The music never ends.” Tony Allen's wisdom was as deep as his grooves, and these words capture the spirit of There is No End, a posthumous album from the legendary Afrobeat drummer to be released on April 30 on the one-year anniversary of his death. Allen’s motivating concept and desire was to work with younger artists, especially the new generation of rappers, and to give them a voice in a time of global turmoil when music has never been more important. The album features guests including Sampa The Great, Danny Brown, Lava La Rue, Damon Albarn and more. Listen to the first single “Cosmosis (ft. Skepta & Ben Okiri).”
Following their appearance on Blue Note Re:imagined remaking Bobby Hutcherson’s “Montara,” the London duo Blue Lab Beats—producer NK-OK and multi-instrumentalist Mr DM—have released their first musical offering of 2021 with the irrepressible new single “Blow You Away (Delilah)” featuring Ghetto Boy. The single is the lead track on Blue Lab Beats’ forthcoming EP We Will Rise, which comes out May 14. The five-track EP is a project from the heart, intended to offer healing and hope to those wearied by racism and prejudice. It’s music that variously celebrates resilience, provides reassurance, and sparks joy.
