Here’s the latest in music news for Friday, April 27:
- ABBA has announced a reunion and two new songs:
- Out next week are two albums from midwest-born singer-songwriters that are both on NPR’s First Listen right now. For Oklahoman Parker Millsap, it’s his fourth album, Other Arrangements, which follow two albums that both reached number one on the US Americana charts. For Austin, Texas’ Alejandro Rose-Garcia, who records under the name Shakey Graves, it’s his fifth proper album, Can’t Wake Up.
- This list on Rolling Stone of “the new classics” is sort of random, but interesting. It’s 20 young visionaries who “share a refusal to be contained by the rules of the past as they define the territory of the future.” The list includes Jason Isbell, Maren Morris, Jay Som, Khalid, and a few other musicians amongst others like Adam Rippon (above), Aaron Judge, and Carrie Coon.
- The estate of the late George Harrison has launched a record label that will focus on releasing Indian classical and world music.
