A new Jeff Beck album would be blogworthy by itself, but when it features our very own Imelda May, it makes it even more interesting. The legendary guitarist returns with his new record, Emotion and Commotion, April 13th on Atco Records. He selected a bunch of musicians to play alongside him on the album, including a 64 piece orchestra. The first single, 'I Put A Spell On You' has Joss Stone on vocals and is out now.
Tracklist: 1. Corpus Christi Carol 2. Hammerhead 3. Never Alone 4. Somewhere Over The Rainbow 5. I Put A Spell On You (featuring Joss Stone) 6. Serene 7. Lilac Wine (featuring Imelda May) 8. Nessun Dorma 9. There’s No Other Me (featuring Joss Stone) 10.Elegy For Dunkirk (featuring Olivia Safe)
Watch Jeff and Imelda covering 'Lilac Wine' live last year:
Fresh from her Grammy's performance with Jeff Beck (who needs the Meteors, eh?), Imelda May was drafted in to perform at Vodafone's slick launch of the iPhone. That's right, those of you who refused to sign with that other network, now get the chance to get an iPhone of your own on Vodafone.
Imelda is one of the best Irish artists at the moment, and was a great choice for a launch artist (much better than having Sarah Kavanagh and the like in St. Stephen's Green in nothing more than a bikini). There's two videos to check out, involving a chat with Imelda as well as some fine tunes.
P.S. I didn't get a free iPhone for talking about this, but if one comes in the mail, I wouldn't send it back!
Irish rockabilly/soul singer Imelda May teamed up with Jeff Beck to perform a marvellous tribute to legendary guitarman Les Paul at last night's Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. The performance is sure to raise her profile on the other side of the Atlantic, and was a marvellous showcase of her talents.
Another tribute was also given last night, to the late Michael Jackson. Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson, Carrie Underwood, and Usher all teamed up to sing his classic 'Earth Song' which also included unseen video footage from his This Is It tour.
