The vocalist and composer readies her first new material since 2008's Guilty, Guilty, Guilty

Diamanda Galás has announced the release of two new albums on 24 March. All The Way will feature reworks of jazz and traditional compositions including BB King's “The Thrill Is Gone“ and a solo piano interpretation of Thelonious Monk’s “Round Midnight” while In Concert At Saint Thomas The Apostle Harlem is a live album taken from her 2016 church performance at the Red Bull Music Academy Festival in New York – a performance that consisted of Galás performing a collection of death songs in Italian, German, French and Greek. The recording also features poems by Cesare Pavese and Ferdinand Freiligrath, and renditions of Jacques Brel’s “Fernand” and “Amsterdam”, and Albert Ayler’s “Angels”.

Both albums are good, I prefer "All The Way" though. Each song here is a small piece of (anti)art. "In Concert at Saint Thomas..." opener is fantastic operatic piece, but some songs are better than others.


All said above valid if you're familiar with Galas music and generally like it. Not for everyone taste for sure.
