Art & Music | WEHM'S New Release Tuesdays

Legendary art rocker Peter Gabriel has come out with an album of unique covers old and new called Scratch My Back. His rendition of David Bowie’s “Heroes” is a transformation from a triumphant pop song to a gentle, bell-clear orchestral benediction.

Trailblazing “virtual band” Gorillaz just issued their latest Plastic Beach and the track “Stylo,” which features Bobby Womack and Mos Def. A modern, electronic drum and keyboard pattern backs soulful vocals and rapping and a fair share of bleeps and bloops.

Prolific British singer/songwriter Jamie Cullum has just released his fifth album The Pursuit and the track “Wheels.” Shades of Coldplay here, in a good way, with a rapid tempo, spare piano and expressive vocals.
