The Revolution 💫 - Apr/May 25
I'm praying to catch you whispering, I pray you catch me listening
Hello gang 👋
OK, after last month’s triumph of sending this email on the 1st, we’re back to our usual schedule 🙃
Don’t fret though we have a banging album for May. Here we go…
The Revolution 💫
The Revolution marks our transition from one album to the next, moving us forward in our musical journey.
In April, we listened to Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by Eurythmics. We’re currently putting the final touches to the review episode*, so stay tuned. It will appear in your podcast feeds imminently.
For this month, we have broken with our convention of running a subscriber poll, as last month there was a tie. Therefore, we chose Eurythmics for April and in May we have….
Lemonade by Beyoncé
A modern classic by any definition. We all know that 2016 was the greatest year for music of all time** and this was the album of the year on most lists.
Rolling Stone have it as the best album of the 21st Century*** Saying that “Lemonade solidified her status among the best musicians of all time”
It feels like a good progression to be moving from Annie Lennox to Beyoncé. One remarkable diva to another. I can’t wait, and we hope you join us for the ride.
Stay tuned for the Mid-Month Missive in a couple of weeks when we’ll take a deeper dive into Lemonade. There’s so much to explore.
Thanks for subscribing, and remember…
