She seems so happy, glowing and more beautiful than ever in this music video. I don't need to think twice before pre-ordering anything by this beloved mother. Can't wait for the new 24-track double album! It sounds wonderful as usual. #CarlyRaeJepsen #AfterAll #DayAndNight

#Music #vinyl #jazz 🎙️ Ella Fitzgerald 💿 Sings The Rodgers and Hart Song Book (1956) [2025 Verve Acoustic Sounds Reissue] Similar to the Cole Porter song book, many standards are in their definitive versions here as well. 'Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered' is a prime example of her mastery.

#Music #vinyl 🎙️ Ella Fitzgerald 💿 Sings The Cole Porter Song Book (1956) [2026 70th Anniversary Verve Acoustic Sounds Reissue] I'm thrilled! My favorite vocal album of all time finally received the dignified, official reissue it deserves. This record was also the birth of Verve Records itself!

#Music #vinyl 🎙️ Carly Rae Jepsen 💿 Kiss (2012) Carly almost made a deal with the devil, but she tricked him in the end: she played the corporate puppet, recorded bubblegum, had a global hit... then, used her soft power to make the records she really wanted from that moment on. The rest is HIS・TO・RY

#Music #vinyl 🎙️ Carly Rae Jepsen 💿 Emotion Side B (2016) Another proof of the Pop perfection from the Emotion sessions is the fact that these eight wonderful tracks ended up as "leftovers". 'Higher' is in my top 3 CRJ songs, and this collection is an essential album in itself.

#Music 🎙️ Carly Rae Jepsen 💿 Emotion (2015) [2025 Re-mastering for #vinyl] One of the most beloved Pop albums ever and a brilliant move that saved her from the inane bubblegum that had put her in the mainstream, earning a smaller but devoted audience as well as critical acclaim. A perfect strike!

#Music #vinyl 🎙️ Shania Twain 💿 Now (2017) Twain had faced many personal and health challenges when she made a comeback after a forced 15-year hiatus. This resulted in her best album lyrically, something that she seems to be returning to with her new record 'Little Miss Twain' this month.

#Music #vinyl 🎙️ John Cale 💿 Music For A New Society (1982) [2016 Reissue] Just like Nico's albums, this one isn't for everybody. Beneath its unsettling surface, there's a genuine artistic portrayal of the dark corners the human mind can go during troubled times. "The only way out is through".

#Music #vinyl 🎙️ Madonna 💿 Something To Remember (1995) I'm free from wage slavery this morning, cooking while listening to this pleasant compilation of Madonna's ballads. It's impressive how they put 71 minutes of music on a single vinyl and it still sounds very good.

#Music #vinyl 🎙️ Enya 💿 A Box of Dreams (1997) [2023 Reissue] This generous 6LP collection shuffles (almost) every song from Enya's first four albums (The Celts to The Memory of Trees) along with rare b-sides and non-album tracks in a very cohesive flow. Excellent presentation, pressing and sound.

#Music #vinyl 🎙️ Fiona Apple 💿 Fetch The Bolt Cutters (2020) Fiona, my darling, it's been six years. We miss you like crazy and it's always exciting to imagine what could come next. In the meantime, I'm glad to have these amazing albums to revisit.

#Music #vinyl 🎙️ Donna Summer 💿 Greatest Hits: On The Radio Volumes I & II (1979) [2018 Reissue] One of my go-to collections to start the day in a good mood. #ドナ・サマー

#Music #vinyl 🎙️ Loreena McKennitt 💿 The Wind That Shakes The Barley (2010) Now playing one of my favorites to wind down at the end of the day. I love this selection of traditional folk songs as well as her warm delivery and soft arrangements.

#Music #vinyl 🎙️ John Cale 💿 Paris 1919 (1973) My favorite thing about this record is the feeling of being dropped in the middle of a story without having a clue what's going on, but completely taken by its quirky characters, entrancing sounds and epic settings. I simply surrender to the magic.

#Music #vinyl 🎙️ 安全地帯 [Anzenchitai] 💿 All Time Best - 35th Anniversary Live (2017) Not only one of the most celebrated Japanese Rock bands from the 80s, it also has one of the greatest vocalists in its frontman Koji Tamaki. I bought this 3LP set in Japan after a concert in 2022. Unforgettable.

#Music #vinyl 🎙️ Shania Twain 💿 Up! (2002) In this day and age, I feel lucky enough to have good mental health with no need for any medication whatsoever. However, I NEED my daily dose of harmless Pop music to be functional and a little cheerful in this reality. These 19 ditties work like a charm.

#Music #vinyl 🎙️ Björk 💿 Greatest Hits (2002) Oh, Björk, that side A alone (All Is Full of Love, Hyper-ballad, Human Behavior, Jóga) is bigger than entire careers! And you were just beginning with those first four albums. The legend that you are.

#Music #松田聖子 🎙️ Seiko Matsuda 💿 Studio Albums & Essential Compilations (1980-2025) I fell for her sugary tunes, unaware of how massive her discography was. Here I am, 53 #CDs and a double #vinyl later. Diabetics beware: high doses of delicious, classic Japanese Candy Pop from the 80s and beyond 🍭

#Music #vinyl 🎙️ Shania Twain 💿 Greatest Hits [2023 Expanded Edition] Twain left her mark on a generation, still holding the best-selling album of all time by a female solo artist. These 23 tracks are a time machine for a specific millennial audience who will be there for her comeback next month.

#MusicSky #vinyl 🎙️ Loreena Mckennitt 💿 The Visit (1991) This fantastic, witchy record sounds better than ever on its 2016 25th anniversary pressing. All Souls Night, Bonny Portmore, The Lady of Shalott, Tango To Evora, The Old Ways and the sublime Between The Shadows... Arguably her best album.

#MusicSky #vinyl 🎙️ Jessie Ware 💿 Superbloom (2026) The third installment from the refined Dance Pop albums that rightfully revived her career, Superbloom reaches the same highs of What's Your Pleasure? (2020), which is crazy! So far, one of my favorite releases this year. She keeps doing it 🌷

#MusicSky #Vinyl 🎙️ Madonna 💿 Confessions On A Dancefloor (2005) The hype for its sequel went through the roof the moment THAT short film dropped, making the whole thing iconic already. We'll keep ourselves warmed up with this classic masterwork until July 3, 2026.

#MusicSky #vinyl 🎙️ Alanis Morissette 📀 Flavors of Entanglement (2008) Sometimes I get tired of living in a world that keeps chewing on Jagged Little Pill without saying a word about this brilliant (and prophetic) album in her canon. So let me do God's work today and put it on your timeline.

#MusicSky #vinyl 🎙️ Melanie C 💿 Sweat (2026) We, children of the Spice Girls, feel elated to see Melanie C thriving in her 9th studio album, doing great EDM, enjoying deserved commercial success and distribution by a major label (back at Virgin, oh how the world turns!) Justice was served, people.

#MusicSky #ドナ・サマー 🎙️ Donna Summer 💿 Hits, Singles & More [1980-1991] (2015) Every time I listen to this compilation I want to hug the person who curated it. Classic hits, deep cuts, extended versions, and even superior remixes over some album versions were perfectly selected! A true fan did that 💙

#ToriAmos What's your all-time (or current) Tori Amos top 10? No fixed order necessary. Here's mine: Precious Things Honey Caught A Lite Sneeze Spring Haze Scarlet's Walk The Beekeeper Star Whisperer Bang Metal Water Wood 23 Peaks

#MusicSky #vinyl #音楽 🎙️ Tori Amos 💿 In Times Of Dragons (2026) My copy arrived a little late, but the masterpiece is here in all its glory. This isn't just an album, it's a portal to her always fascinating mind. I will follow her on her path, through the light... and especially through the darkness.

23 Peaks is an instant classic, one of the best songs of her career. Tears were flowing by the end of this fantastic record. Her creativity remains rich, layered and moving. #ToriAmos

I've been keeping track of it. This year, I've added 17 LPs and 57 (half of it secondhand) CDs to my collection. So far, no regrets, no impulse purchases, and everything within budget. Not bad at all.

The Tension Tour now available on Netflix is perfection, and proof that Kylie Minogue is the most hardworking, prolific and CONSISTENT Pop Diva among her contemporaries. One of the greatest blueprints for this generation. This is how it's done, kids! #MusicSky #カイリー・ミノーグ

#MusicSky #音楽 🎙️ 中森明菜 [Akina Nakamori] 💿 Akina Note (2026) The legendary (and reclusive) J-Pop legacy act is back with a new collection of re-recordings and a tour (!!!) after almost a decade in the shadows. This time, 18 of her classics are presented in a Jazzy setting with outstanding musicians.

I've seen some people trying the impossible task of doing a #KylieMinogue top 10. Do I dare? (In no particular order. I just can't) Better The Devil You Know Love At First Sight Slow The One All The Lovers Radio On Magic Real Groove Story (what we know now! 😭) Good As Gone

#MusicSky #音楽 🎙️松田聖子 [Seiko Matsuda] 💿A Girl In The Wonderland (2013) "Growth", "evolution" and "variety" are often demanded of artists with long careers. In Seiko's case, I like the fact that I can pick any of her 50+ albums and get my necessary dose of Candy Pop to get me through this harsh world.

Like everything #KylieMinogue does, this is one classy documentary. The tone is just right: not too guarded (a first for Kylie), but not too indulgent either. Most fans will ugly cry during the last 20 minutes (I did), and that sudden cut to the credits is exhilarating. Long live the Goddess of Pop!

I'll always be in the trenches for this one! #ToriAmos

Congratulations to @toriamos.bsky.social and Fontana Records! 'In Times of Dragons' has entered the UK chart at #13. You have to go back to '98 and 'From the Choirgirl Hotel' for a studio album that charted higher! 👏👏 There's around 100 copies of the blu-ray left > bit.ly/4cp4GLO

#NowPlaying 🎙️ 山本達彦 [Tatsuhiko Yamamoto] 💿 突風 [Sudden Wind] (1979) What a beautiful, classy and warm debut. It was love at first listen. There's a Nick Drake aura on those songs in terms of melancholic beauty that naturally overflows from them. Perfect for a quiet morning. #MusicSky #音楽

[Most streamed artists - April] A clear sign of middle age is the fact that my tastes are practically crystalized by now. I've already found my core interests, so I'm always listening to my favorite artists instead of keeping up with whatever Gen Z is doing. The generational gap is real. #MusicSky

#NowPlaying 🎙️ Madonna 💿 The Confessions Tour (2006) 20 years of one of Madonna's best eras/concerts. In my humble opinion, the definitive versions of Like A Virgin, Let It Will Be and Erotica come from this live performance. Mandatory Record Store Day purchase for me. #vinyl #MusicSky

I don't know about you guys, but I woke up today in this tragic world feeling that my existence makes a little bit of sense. This happens every time #ToriAmos releases a new album, of course. I love how her peculiar worlds/words feel so familiar to me. Welcome back, Mother Dragon! #MusicSky

#NowPlaying 🎙️ Melanie C 💿 Northern Star (1999) The eternal Sporty Spice is releasing her 9th solo album this week. I felt like revisiting her debut this evening. Be The One, Closer and I Turn To You (both versions) are still my favorites from this solid record. #Vinyl #MusicSky #SpiceGirls

“Tori Amos at her most Tori Amos – ⭐⭐⭐⭐” Myths, muses, lizard demons, and a parable for Trumpian times - Tori Amos continues to enchant on remarkable 18th album, In Times Of Dragons. Read MOJO’s review and the tracklisitng in full...

#NowPlaying 🎙️ 松田聖子 [Seiko Matsuda] 💿 2020/2021 Japan, stop making my wallet scream! This glorious Super Deluxe box set [2LP+SHM-CD+Blu-ray+giant booklet] collects Seiko's 40th and 41st anniversary albums on #vinyl Both are titled after the perfect numerical match of their respective release dates.

This is exactly how a #ToriAmos album should be summarized. Love her mind!

A gentle reminder of how streaming services suck and how we must not take physical media for granted: at least ten albums by one of my favorite Japanese singers, 山本達彦 (Tatsuhiko Yamamoto), vanished from the platforms overnight. Sayōnara, dear playlists! Good thing I bought them on #vinyl last year!

#ToriAmos for novices in a nutshell. Always an intelligent and creative force for the greater good. I never get tired of saying she's my favorite artist on this planet. youtu.be/t28KHlJ5g7s?...

#NowPlaying 🎙️大貫妙子 [Taeko Onuki] 💿Pure Acoustic (1996) [Reissued 2020] Most Western audiences restrict themselves to Onuki's infectious songs linked to the so-called City Pop genre Those are great, but I urge them to dig deeper into her more poetic, introspective works as well. #vinyl #MusicSky #音楽

#NowPlaying 🎙️Roberta Sá 💿Quando O Canto É Reza (2010) Roberta's third album is an homage to songwriter Roque Ferreira and to Brazil's rich cultural tapestry. The superb Trio Madeira Brasil provides their intricate guitar arrangements over some amazing percussion. #vinyl #MusicSky #BrazilianMusic

#NowPlaying 🎙️ #ToriAmos 💿Abnormally Attracted To Sin (2009) The Goddess is on tour, and it's nice to see some tracks from this very underrated album popping up. 'Fire To Your Plain' and 'Give' have been played recently and the magnificent 'Lady In Blue' graced her latest live album #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowPlaying this one again. One of the best Pop albums of the year, certainly got me shook! Loved when people said she came to take the helm while Carly Rae Jepsen is on maternity leave. Haha This is a high compliment as far as I'm concerned. #vinyl #MusicSky
