With songs by Burt Bacharach, Barry Gibb, Paul Williams, Randy Newman, and Carole King, Barbra describes Release Me 2 as, “A lovely walk down memory lane…a chance to revisit, and in some cases, add a finishing instrumental touch to songs that still resonate for me in meaningful ways.” The follow-up to her acclaimed 2012 album, Release Me, this new collection contains previously unreleased tracks from Barbra’s vault, including duets with Willie Nelson and Kermit the Frog. The vocal interplay of Adam Dutkiewicz and Jesse Leach makes for a rich and enthralling concoction, powering through various trips through dark nights of the soul and mind-expanding excursions into the wild.
It channels a haunting romanticism and deep spiritual yearning that collide in beautiful melancholy. Songs Of Loss and Separation is insistent in its bluesiness, bleeding distortion and emotion, weaving effortlessly between pensive, heavy, midtempo rock riffs and atmosphere. The vinyl edition has the 12 songs spread across three sides on 2 LPs in gorgeous gatefold packaging, with a custom etching on the fourth side. Recorded in the spring of 2010 and then mysteriously abandoned by Prince before its release, the statement album Welcome 2 America documents Prince’s concerns, hopes, and visions for a shifting society, presciently foreshadowing an era of political division, disinformation, and a renewed fight for racial justice.
FLAMING LIPS SOFT BULLETIN VINYL 2009 PLUS
This archived compilation includes unreleased songs from the era, plus outtakes and early mixes, B-sides, international bonus tracks and stereo versions of Zaireeka tracks. The Soft Bulletin Companion Disc,was originally only available as a promo CD, hand-made by the Lip’s management, and given to media and radio as the original album grew in popularity around its original release. The Soft Bulletin is one of The Flaming Lips’ most popular and best-selling albums. Over the course of three weeks, they resided under one roof, laughed during meals, explored their surroundings, and recorded together with special guests (Carrie Underwood, Jon Foreman from Switchfoot and Natalie Hemby), crafting an album reflective of the moment, yet independent of all expectations, even their own.
Without telling a soul, NEEDTOBREATHE decamped to a historic house-turned-recording studio in Columbia, TN to begin working on new music.
