Amy Winehouse - Live at The BBC 2021 Reissue.
On May 7th, UMC and Island are reissuing Amy Winehouse At The BBC, originally released as a box set in 2012, and now available as a 3LP, 3CD and digital release. As the original product was predominantly a DVD release, this will be the first time that the two discs ‘A Tribute To Amy Winehouse by Jools Holland’ and ‘BBC One Sessions Live at Porchester Hall’ are available as audio-only and so a high proportion of the tracks will be new to DSPs, plus it is the first time the tracks are available on vinyl.
The set features tracks from Later with Jools across the years, notably Amy’s first performance on the show in 2003 with ‘Stronger Than Me’, as well as two performances from the Mercury Prize – Take The Box in 2004 and Love Is A Losing Game in 2007.

Anderson East - Maybe We Never Die
maybe we never die, anderson east's third release for elektra/low country sound takes the alabama born, nashville-based singer-songwriter’s seductively vintage voice in a decidedly fresh direction.
the 12 tracks flow together with an overarching sense of ambience but maintain distinct musical boundaries. the energy toggles between a hunger for vulnerability in togetherness and a clinging to solitude as a romantic self-defense. there is consternation with the speed and volume at which the world operates and solace to be found in the simple act of getting up and going. and the beguiling title track, with its woozy strings swirling around east’s celestial falsetto as it curls towards the ceiling like smoke is, as they say, a whole mood; a sense of a single night’s dusk-to-sunrise contemplation. collaborating once again with dave cobb along with longtime bandleader and now co-producer philip towns, east has found an enticing new avenue, one that maintains a connection to his past but keeps his eyes on the road ahead.
