A New World Arise is their fourth release, following up on 2013’s Frozen Paradise. Although their catalog is much smaller, comparing the quality and songwriting stealth of their work to a band like Pretty Maids isn’t a stretch. In fact, it’s more a reason to whine; how much better would the benumbed musical landscape be with 10+ more ColdSpell studio albums to turn to?
Guitarist Michael Larsson is the main composer, and you can tell he’s a fan of big riffs, melodic leads, and like all great songwriters, it’s the SONG that matters most, not its separate pieces. “Forever” is a testament to that idea, with racing riffs, a massive chorus and as anyone who has ever heard ColdSpell, lead singer Niclas Svedentorp has a warm, effortless delivery that is all melody and strength. The freakin’ solo is amazing as well. This almost veers into Power Metal with its racing tempo and pounding ferocity.

Charlotte Gainsbourg’s fifth album Rest is her first album in 7 years. Rest, produced by French electronic musician SebastiAn, was released on November 17 and features collaborations from Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, Paul McCartney, Owen Pallett, Connan Mockasin, among others.

Christian Sands may appear onstage as a sideman to bigger names, but when he puts his tender fingers on those hard black and white keys, he changes the scenery of a room. In his upcoming new Mack Avenue record debut REACH, the 27-year-old jazz pianist steps into the limelight as the disarming revelation he is in person. Reach is scheduled for release April 21 and features three-time Grammy®-winning bassist Christian McBride as co-producer and a special guest on one of the tunes, that bowed bass in the Bill Withers cover, “Use Me.” Sands regularly tours with McBride’s Grammy-nominated Trio far and wide, giving audiences a glimpse of the tasty measures rolling around in the versatile pianist’s fertile imagination.

Thurman is a modern player who both honors the past and looks towards the future. Her promotional materials make the legitimate claim that her sound on tenor evokes Dexter Gordon and Joe Henderson and that her vocals are suggestive of Ella Fitzgerald and Betty Carter. While this is all true, yet Thurman’s concepts are fresh, innovative and modern. She takes delight in presenting material that is informed by the legendary masters while simultaneously imbuing it with the hip language of her current generation.
