This week
on Just Released with Bill Riner & Brandon Stewart:
“Planet Earth is blue,
And there’s nothing I can do…”,
[“Space Oddity” – David Bowie [1969]
In this
brave new world of digital ubiquity, keeping a secret is not an easy thing to
do. Yet, David Bowie caught everyone by surprise when he released his first new
recording in a decade, on his 66th birthday in January this year. In
this edition of JR we preview a second song from his now imminent album, ‘The
Next Day’.
Another
artist noted for taking his music and his audience far beyond the boundaries of
conventional Rock music is Radiohead frontman, Thom Yorke. Teaming up with Red
Hot Chili Peppers bassist, Flea, Radiohead producer, Nigel Godrich, and two
exceptional percussionists, Yorke is now leading a new band called Atoms For
Peace. The group’s debut album is a deep foray into Electronica, largely inspired
by the Afrobeat trance rhythms of legendary Nigerian bandleader, Fela Kuti.
Also in
this edition, 80 years since her birth and ten years since the year of her
passing, we pay tribute to the late (and undeniably great), Nina Simone with a
newly released multi-disc anthology.
Dido
makes a welcome return with an adventurous 4th album, ‘Girl Who Got
Away’ and Emmylou Harris returns with a traditional album of duets, this time
with her old band mate Rodney Crowell.
If Prince
has a new album coming out this year, he’s yet to announce it. Instead, he’s
been drip-feeding a few new songs online just recently and we’ve managed to
snag one of the best of them. Looking further ahead, a second album from
blue-eyed soulsters, Fitz & The Tantrums is due out in May but we have the
first song from it in this week’s edition.

On The Roof Of The World”/”Blackbird" (from the album, ‘Girl Who Got

Dancer” (from the album, ‘Old Yellow Moon’)
