Taken from her forthcoming new album Keep Your Courage, Natalie Merchant shares her first album single ‘Come on, Aphrodite’ featuring singer Abena Koomson-Davis (Resistance Revival Chorus). The song establishes the record’s themes of love and passion as essential to the human experience.

Nonesuch has announced Natalie Merchant’s first album of new songs in nearly a decade. Keep Your Courage is to be released on 14 April 2023. The album features a number of collaborations including one with award winning Irish music band Lúnasa.

Two of Natalie Merchant’s albums are now available digitally for first time: Butterfly, a studio album arranged for string quartet, and Rarities, featuring previously unreleased demos, outtakes & collaborations.

The Kronos Quartet plays alongside four labelmates – Sam Amidon, Olivia Chaney, Rhiannon Giddens, and Natalie Merchant – to transport traditional folk songs to new arrangements.

Nonesuch announces new Kronos Quartet album entitled Folk Songs on which they join forces with four labelmates—Sam Amidon, Olivia Chaney, Rhiannon Giddens, and Natalie Merchant.

Natalie Merchant’s new album is filled with exquisitely crafted original songs. The product of a mature, thoughtful songwriter who’s come a long way.

Hazmat Modine can never be accused of settling into their sound and getting too comfy…they make it very clear on their latest release, Cicada, that they are still very much about exploring and evolving. The album features collaborations with Natalie Merchant, the Gange Brass Band, Kronos Quartet and the Tuvan throat-singing ensemble Huun Huur Tu.
