Info zu The Moon And Stars: Prescriptions For Dreamers (Deluxe Edition)

Valerie June neues Album "The Moon and Stars: Prescriptions For Dreamers" seit vier Jahren.

Produziert von Jack Splash (Kendrick Lamar, Alicia Keys, John Legend) und Valerie June, ist das neue Album mitreißend und ambitioniert, mit einer erdigen R&B-Produktion und einem Hauch von Psychedelik inmitten der astralen Folk-Pop-Orchestrierung - Die beiden haben einen Sound geschaffen, der elegant und immer wieder überraschend ist. Im Mittelpunkt steht Junes fesselnder Gesang und ihr ansteckender Sinn fürs Staunen, mit dem die aus Brooklyn - via Memphis - stammende Künstlerin von ihrer oft prekären, doch freudvollen Reise voller Möglichkeiten erzählt.

The Moon and Stars: Prescriptions For Dreamers, der Nachfolger zu ihrem Durchbruch von 2013 mit Pushin' Against A Stone und das weithin gelobte The Order of Time - ein Werk aus dem Jahr 2017, das die Bewunderung von Bob Dylan erntete und auf den Bestenlisten des Jahres landete - ist ein anregendes, tief berührendes Werk. Ein mächtiger Katalysator für alle, die töricht genug sind zu träumen.

"With this record, it finally became clear why I have this dream of making music. It's not for earthly reasons of wanting to be awarded or to win anybody's love-it's because dreaming keeps me inquisitive and keeps me on that path of learning what I have to share with the world. When we allow ourselves to dream like we did when we were kids, it ignites the light that we all have within us and helps us to have a sort of magic about the way we live." (Valerie June)

Blending folk, soul, blues, and Appalachian elements into a timeless sound that sits outside any particular musical era, Valerie June stands in a long and storied line of unique Memphis performers.

The daughter of a brick cleaner and music promoter from West Tennessee, June took quickly to the roots styles in the area, teaching herself guitar and writing her own material.

She officially began performing with her husband as Bella Sun, but when the marriage fell apart, June left the south and began living the life of a gypsy street musician, playing for change in bus and subway stations up and down the West Coast. She eventually returned to Tennessee, settling in Memphis, where she slid right into the city's active music scene.

She added banjo and lap steel to her musical base, and she began to draw attention for her powerful performances, becoming a favorite at area folk festivals and workshops. She recorded two albums at Ardent Studios, but she really came into the national eye when she was featured in $5 Cover, an MTV web series created by Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow, Black Snake Moan, Footloose).

With the break-out Pushin' Against a Stone, June has achieved international fame, with performances on Later… with Jools Holland, a stunning duet with Eric Church at the ACM Awards, a tour with Jake Bugg, spreads in top music and fashion magazines, and a sold-out show at Carnegie Hall.

Percolating somewhere between Dolly Parton and Billie Holiday, June has a stop-you-dead-in-your-tracks voice, the kind that grips your imagination and paints her Southern portraits in vivid detail. She calls it "organic moonshine roots music." We just call it awesome.
