Albums

 

LP – ‘Heart To Mouth

New York song writer LP returns with her fifth long player ‘Heart To Mouth’. Twelve tracks of powerful indie pop, this late entry could steal the mantle of “Album of the Year” at the very last minute due to her impassioned performance.

When I get on the mic and start doing melodies, I can feel that direct line from my heart to my mouth. In the past, there was a city full of streets that needed my attention. Now, I feel like I have a major highway to communicate emotion from. Whether they’re sadder songs or big anthems, they all come from the same place.

LP tickets are currently available.

 

 

Alan Walker – ‘Different World

Norwegian producer Alan Walker is a young prodigy. Having proved himself with a relentless onslaught of incredible electronic singles like ‘Fade’, ‘Sing Me To Sleep’ and ‘Tired; he has been listed as DJ Mags top 100 DJs of 2018 and signed to RCA Records. He now releases his debut album ‘Different World’.

I’m super excited. I never really thought I would end up in a situation where I would be releasing an album. I guess that’s the outcome of releasing a single every three to six months. At the same time that I’ve been working on that album, I’ve been able to kind of show a new side of myself as an artist. I can use my voice as an artist to speak out to my fans and followers. But other than that, I’m really excited about the upcoming album. I think it’s going to be pretty cool and there’s going to be a few new songs.”

Alan Walker tickets are currently available.
