A surprising album, featuring no fewer than eight original tracks written especially for Amanda by talented songwriters such as Pierre Lapointe, Sacha Rudy and Patxi Garat. With this introspective album, the artist tackles a new repertoire of contemporary French pop music, as well as more unusual genres such as blues. She even collaborated with legendary American DJ Chris Cox on a cover of the powerful dance track ‘When I Was Your Favourite Singer’. Don't miss it!

From the radiant simplicity of Bob Chilcott and John Rutter to the mystical intensity of Judith Weir and James MacMillan, the Choir of Merton College’s An English Christmas gathers a century of festive choral inspiration into one luminous album. Benjamin Nicholas conducts forces including the Oxford Philharmonic and Contemporary Sinfonia in music that glows with lyric warmth and orchestral colour. Alongside carols by Holst, Howells and Vaughan Williams are new works by Kerensa Briggs, Roxanna Panufnik and Cecilia McDowall — a celebration of both tradition and renewal, and of the uniquely English choral sound that has become Merton’s hallmark.

On March 7, 2005, Marius Müller-Westernhagen's album "Nahaufnahme" (Close-Up) was released and debuted at number 1 on the German charts, where it remained for two weeks. It was certified gold for over 100,000 units sold. The album was produced by Dieter Krauthausen, Jay Stapley, and Westernhagen himself, and recorded at Mark Angelo Studios in London. The cover was photographed by Karl Lagerfeld. On this album, Westernhagen combines the songwriting passion of his early albums with the virtuosic, yet never intrusive, musicianship of his predominantly British band.

The album ‘Ganz allein krieg's nicht hin’ (I Can't Do It Alone) was released on 20 June 1977. Recorded at Alsterstudio and produced by Peter Hesslein, the music was once again performed by the members of Lucifer's Friend. Five of the songs were written by Marius Müller-Westernhagen. In the year after his breakthrough as an actor (with Peter F. Bringmann's ‘Aufforderung zum Tanz’), he remained unsuccessful as a musician.

The album Das Herz eines Boxers (The Heart of a Boxer) was released on 21 October 1982 and reached number 11 in the charts, remaining there for a total of 17 weeks. For the production of his seventh studio album, Westernhagen travelled to London for the first time with producer Lothar Meid and recorded an album at London's Townhouse Studio that took a more diverse and experimental sound direction.

"Marius and I have known each other for ages. We first met in 1980, when we went to the cinema together. He was sitting on top of the screen in a Volvo articulated lorry and I was sitting below, in the front row of the Grindel cinema. At the time, I also weighed about 52 kilos, wore size 28 jeans and, like him, had this nondescript, fringed hairstyle. I could totally identify with the dynamic ferret on the screen – not only because we actually looked alike, but because this little thin man named Theo, whom he embodied so magnificently, who was mercilessly inferior to ‘the rest of the world’ but walked around with his chest puffed out, had something in common with me. Because anyone who comes across as such a loudmouth is, in reality, only too familiar with the old monkey called fear."

The album ‘Stinker’ was released on 2 April 1981 and entered the charts at number 5, where it remained for two weeks. It spent a total of 51 weeks in the charts and sold over 500,000 copies, earning Westernhagen a platinum award. The album is once again produced by Lothar Meid. As the third part of the trilogy after ‘Mit Pfefferminz bin ich dein Prinz’ and ‘Sekt oder Selters,’ all three albums simultaneously enter the top 10 of the German sales charts. The second tour within a year takes place in front of an even larger audience. Westernhagen is now the biggest new rock star in Germany.

The Spanish star finds her muse in theology books: “This is maximalism.” For ROSALÍA, her fourth full-length album LUX only has “little pieces” of her in the lyrics of its songs—and she prefers it that way. “I think the best fiction has this blurry line, the sweet spot between what’s personal and what’s universal, what’s detailed and what’s abstract, what’s implicit and what’s explicit,” the Spanish star tells Apple Music. “It’s both. Because I wrote it, there has to be some sort of truth for me in it. But at the same time, I think it’s much more about the other than about myself.”

Brad Paisley's new album Snow Globe Town, a 16-track holiday collection featuring 8 original songs, including "Counting Down The Days" the official anthem of Hallmark's Countdown To Christmas and two songs from the upcoming Hallmark Christmas movie A Grand Ole Opry Christmas premiering on November 29, 2025. This album blends timeless holiday classics with festive originals.

Promising "I'ma write til my wrist break" and to "still be doing this if the pay was minimum wage" on the opening feint "Book of Daniel," rap's most musically exploratory MC dives headfirst into hyperpop for the rest of his sixth solo album. One of the greatest working, Brown vowed to "Scrap or Die" on his decade-defining breakthrough XXX, followed it with palpable bangers carved from subversion and darkness on Old, unleashed the art-damaged freak we all knew he was on Atrocity Exhibition, and those were just his heralded works. The winning streak continued and even deepened when Q-Tip exec-produced the low-key tour de force uknowhatimsayin¿ and JPEGMafia paired with him for the noisy, kaleidoscopic maximalism of Scaring the Hoes. Even the quieter, introspective Quaranta from 2023 revealed itself to be rich and rewarding over repeat listens with some musical tricks of its own; most rappers wouldn't be able to navigate Kassa Overall's astonishing drum fills anchoring "Jenn's Terrific Vacation," for instance.

Originally released in 1973 and pressed in very small quantities, Emerge is the second album by the McCrary family and their non-gospel debut. Long sought after by collectors and modern-soul and funk connoisseurs, it's an exemplar of what was considered "progressive soul" in the early 70s as well as what emerged a generation later as "neo-soul." This long-overdue reissue was produced with the full cooperation of the McCrary family and gives this remarkable record wide distribution and easy accessibility for the very first time since its initial low-key release over half a century ago. The McCrary family started out as a gospel group in their native Youngstown, Ohio but turned to secular music upon relocating to Los Angeles in 1970 and recording this album for the tiny Cat’s Eye label of Beverly Hills. The music veers between sophisticated, jazzy R&B (Charity McCrary’s beautiful “Matter Of Time”) to occasionally grittier funk (as on “Kung Fu”). “Be A Father To Your Son” and “People Run On Love” bear messages that are still relevant decades later. The McCrarys would later gain wider recognition with their hit “You” featuring Stevie on harmonica and with “Any Old Sunday” which was memorably covered by Chaka Khan.
