Keaton Henson - House Party - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Giovanni Battista Columbro - Requiem Mass [COMPACT DISCS] date 05/13/2008

2013 album from the British singer/songwriter. Keaton is an artist in the truest sense of the word - music, poetry, art, film - all are works of staggering sorrow for him, and far beyond his age of 23. There are few vehicles that he cannot master to his will. He has courageously clearly tapped into a world that few can or will venture to. And he has provided US all a passageway.

A singer, songwriter, composer, and illustrator who rarely performs live due to chronic anxiety, Keaton Henson emerged in the public sphere in the early 2010s with his critically acclaimed debut album Dear. His last studio album, 2016's Kindly Now, reach the top 20 of Billboards Heatseekers chart. Following a world premiere in London by Britain Sinfonia, his orchestral work, Six Lethargies, was released on Decca imprint Mercury KX in 2019. His Monument tackles his his father's illness and tragic passing last year. While the subject matter is heavy, the stunning and powerful album is beautifully written and lyrically it's sublime.
