KAADA ~ And If In A Thousand Years
KAADA is in the mood to dance and after listening to this album you will be too. On first glance this danceability might feel a bit like a change of pace from his 2018 album Closing Statements, which we loved.

Neil Cowley ~ Battery Life
This is Neil Cowley‘s second solo album under his own name but it is far from a sophomore release. In fact he’s been releasing albums as part of many different groups ever since 1997, including eight albums with the Neil

Secret of Elements ~ Rebuilding Notre Dame OST
As Notre Dame burned on April 15, 2019, the entire world felt a tug in the throat. History and hope were going up in flames. The symbolism of the cathedral stretched far beyond France, even beyond religion. Thanks to heroic
