Connie Talbot - Beautiful World - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Connie Talbot's fantastic new album Beautiful World was produced by Grammy winning producer Kipper together with Phil Taylor. Six years on from the Connie's debut album 'Over The Rainbow', Connie is sure to amaze with her uplifting renditions of contemporary and classic tracks featuring songs from Miley Cyrus, The Climb and Bruno Mars Count on Me, to gospel song as Amazing Grace together with an all new recording of her own song 'Beautiful World'.

After a decade making the most of improvised recording spaces set in warehouses, trailers and lofts, Japanese Breakfast's fourth album, For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women), marks the band's first proper studio . Produced by Grammy Award winner Blake Mills, the record sees front-woman and songwriter Michelle Zauner pull back from the bright extroversion that defined it's predecessor Jubilee to examine the darker waves that roil within, the moody, fecund field of melancholy, long held to be the psychic state of poets on the verge of inspiration. The result is an artistic statement of purpose a mature, intricate, contemplative work that conjures the romantic thrill of a gothic novel.For Melancholy Brunettes follows a transformative period in Zauner's life during which her 2x GRAMMY nominated breakthrough album Jubilee and her bestselling memoir Crying In H Mart catapulted her into the cultural mainstream, delivering on her deepest artistic ambitions. Reflecting on that success, Zauner came to appreciate the irony of desire, which so often commingles bliss and doom. InchI felt seduced by getting what I always wanted,Inch she says. InchI was flying too close to the sun, and I realized if I kept going I was going to die.InchThe plight of Icarus and other such condemned ones lends For Melancholy Brunettes it's most persistent theme, the perils of desire. Like light dispersed, it's spectral parts take the album's characters through cycles of temptation, transgression and retribution. On InchOrlando in LoveInch - a riff on John Cheever's riff on Orlando Innamorato, an unfinished epic made up of 68 ½ cantos by the Renaissance poet Matteo Maria Boiardo - the hero is a well meaning poet who parks his Winnebago by the sea and falls victim to a siren's call, his 69th canto (even in the lofty realm of classical myth Zauner has a soft spot for innuendo).
