There have been a few awesome album drops (Audrey Assad, The Roots, & Dave Barnes) and movies releases (Inception) recently that have really been quite refreshing. There are a few releases coming up I’m pretty stoked about.
Here’s my top 3 …
One Sonic Society
If you haven’t heard of these guys yet, you will. They are something of a super group (Stu G & Jon Thatcher formerly of Delirious?, Hillsong drummer Paul Malbury, & songwriter/producer Jason Ingram), but they have a deep desire to be more part of a community than merely a band. I was first introduced to these guys in Nashville in February @ Re:Create and was not only impressed with the depth of their music, but the heart behind their vision for their music. They have an EP out now, but their full-length album drops sometime in October, so be on the lookout.
Dinner for Schmucks
This is real simple: I am a sucker for dumb comedy. Steve Carell is one of the funniest guys around right now and Paul Rudd is the quintessential straight man. The premise makes for several opportunities for ridiculousness. Add in Galifianakis & one of the guys from Flight of the Conchords, and you’ve got a stupid, stupid gem on your hands. I’m just excited to kick back, and laugh til I can’t properly breathe anymore.
John Legend & The Roots – Wake Up!
This collaboration was tasty enough on The Roots most recent record, but the fact that these guys are teaming up for an entire record of old soul & RnB covers is enough to make anyone who loves a solid groove drool. I imagine that I’m going to wear this album out like its goin out of style. Record drops September 21, and they’ve got a pre-order goin here.
What upcoming releases are you excited about?
