The Carpenters - Carpenters With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Limited yellow colored vinyl LP pressing. 2023 . An album that revisits Ed Sheeran's singer/songwriter roots, and one that was written against a backdrop of personal grief and hope, Inch-Inch presents one of the biggest stars on the planet at his most vulnerable and honest. Growing up with the likes of Damian Rice, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan playing on repeat in his parents' house - artists that his dad, John, introduced him to - Inch-Inch was always on Ed's horizon. Yet as the songs and writing process took on a whole new meaning and direction after a series of hard-hitting events impacted Ed's world in 2022, one thing that remained untouched was his strong desire to make a record anchored in his love of singer/songwriter compositions. And now, as he gears-up for the of his most soul-baring work to date, Inch-Inch serves as a timely reminder for why Sheeran remains one of the most gifted lyricists of his generation; an artist who breaks down his own experiences for fans to seek comfort and belonging. Inch-Inch is the result of Sheeran pushing the boundaries of his songcraft, as he delivers the most profound songwriting of his career. Teaming-up with Aaron Dessner (The National) on writing and production after the pair joined forces following an introduction from mutual friend Taylor Swift, Ed and Aaron began crafting the album in February last year. Writing over 30 songs during their month-long studio stint, the album's tracks are seamlessly tied together by exquisite production from paired back, folk-leaning textures to bolder, full-band/orchestral arrangements.

2014 collection from the highly successful brother-sister duo. Karen and Richard Carpenter dominated the pop charts in the early '70s as they went on to become one of the best-selling groups of all time. Their Grammy-winning soft rock, pop sound featuring the distinctive vocal work of Karen (who also played drums for the early trio) and the keyboard mastery, arranging and composing talent of Richard helped them carve a unique place in music history. Captured here on this ICON are a selection of their Top 10s and the trademark recordings that endeared them to fans across the globe.
