At some point during the COVID-19 lockdown, fans began asking James Blake to cover songs on Instagram. One in particular, a haunting rendition of “Godspeed” from Frank Ocean’s 2016 album Blonde, seemed to open the floodgates, and the idea for an EP was born. On Covers, the British singer-songwriter and electronic producer reimagines six essential songs, spanning the 1950s folk song “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”, made famous by Roberta Flack in 1972, to Billie Eilish’s 2018 alt-pop ballad “when the party’s over”.

A collection of the classic Italian popular songs of Rossini, Tosti, Denza, Leoncavallo and Gastaldon can normally be relied upon to make ideal relaxed listening. They’re especially rewarding material for a lyrical tenor voice, and in Andrea Bocelli we have one of the most natural, relaxed and graceful tenors of today. In Leoncavallo’s Mattinata he soars gloriously to the high notes, and he seems naturally suited to Tosti’s elegantly shaped melodies. Ideale, especially, unfolds with fine expression and gradations of tone.

Some Gladys Knight fans think that she didn't record as a solo artist until the early 1990s. But In fact, her first solo albums came in the late 1970s, when she provided 1978's Miss Gladys Knight for Buddah and 1979's Gladys Knight for Columbia. The singer's second, and self-titled, solo album is a generally decent effort that ranges from R&B/adult contemporary ballads to up-tempo soul-disco offerings. This release is Expanded with 9 Bonus Tracks, five of which are Un-Released Tracks from this album's recording sessions. A must have for all Gladys Knight fans.

"It gets confusing with his name but this is Michael (Peter) Smith from Chicago. Folk singer, married to another folk singer, Barbara Barrow. Michael wrote the classic The Dutchman which became a folk "hit" for Steve Goodman back in 1972. This 1974 album on the Bell label is the debut for Michael and Barbara with the interesting title, "Mickey And Babs Get Hot." It does have a version of The Dutchman on it, as well as Steal Away and The Ballad Of Dan Moody among others (but sadly not Spoon River, also done by Goodman). My all time favorite song here however is Osceola's Last Words, originally a poem by Florida poet laureate Will McLean. It is a strange but powerful ballad in the hands of these two and easily my very favorite version. Bill Staines also did a fine version. This rarity is not a GREAT album but a worthy pickup for those songs mentioned."

There is good reason that romantic music (because it would be a gross over-simplification to say that this style refers solely to the 19th century) is considered by musicologists to be the style that best embodies the spirit of romanticism, which blossoms with varying intensity throughout the history of European cultural development.
