Heidi Talbot - The Last Star - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Look out for a new star in the glittering firmament of great Irish singers With the of her new album IN LOVE AND LIGHT, Heidi Talbot is truly set to shine. After five years as lead singer with the Irish-American supergroup Cherish the Ladies, and high praise for her previous solo outing, 2004's DISTANT FUTURE, Talbot now extends her talents over a broader, bolder musical canvas, in company with a stellar cast of guests. Drawing on the full, diverse spectrum of influences that inform her singing, IN LOVE AND LIGHT complements fiddler John McCusker and flute/whistle ace Mike McGoldrick.

2013 album from the Irish Folk singer featuring musical assistance from Mark Knopfler, Jerry Douglas, Tim O'Brien, Dirk Powell, Julie Fowlis, Karine Polwart, Michael McGoldrick, Phil Cunningham and many others. Heidi Talbot is one of the most gifted singers to emerge in Celtic music in recent years. Her talents were introduced to American audiences during her stint as vocalist for Cherish the Ladies and she has established her place as a leading voice in the genre. On her fourth solo album, she teams up again with producer and husband John McCusker to deliver her most engaging set yet. Throughout, Talbot's beguiling, crystal clear soprano is transcendent; stand out tracks include the Boo Hewerdine penned 'My Sister the Moon' and the lilting 'Will I Ever Get to Sleep'

Vinyl LP pressing. 2024 . The second album from Grammy-nominated Haitian-American singer and composer Nathalie Joachim, Ki moun ou ye, is available via the partnership between Nonesuch and New Amsterdam Records. Across the record's ten intimate, original songs, Joachim ponders it's title's question InchWho are you?Inch Inspired by the remote Caribbean farmland that her family continues to call home after seven generations, Ki moun ou ye travels deeper into the Haitian heritage introduced on Joachim's Grammy-nominated 2019 New Amsterdam , Fanm d'Ayiti. Performed in English and Haitian Creole, the work examines the richness of the human voice-an instrument that brings with it DNA, ancestry, and identity-in a vibrant tapestry of Joachim's voice and intricately sampled vocal textures, underscored by Joachim's flute playing, violin from Yvonne Lam (Eighth Blackbird), and drums by Jason Treuting (So Percussion). Ki moun ou ye explores Joachim's personal history while highlighting her voice's role as a tool for survival, healing, preservation of self, fellowship, and an affirmation of freedom.
