FRESH Album: Nat King Cole RE:GENERATIONS

I heard a track off this album on KCRW 89.9 the other day. I thought I might spread the word...

Nat King Cole: His dignity, his class, his poise – and throughout it all – his voice, have inspired generations of musicians and fans for over four decades since his passing.

In March 2009, EMI/Capitol Records will release RE:GENERATIONS, a groundbreaking album that for the first time pairs some of today’s most creative and commercial artists with Nat King Cole, offering them an opportunity to tip their hats to Nat by virtually joining him in the studio to record an entirely new record for today’s market.

These artists/producers have created tracks that transcend time and space by incorporating Nat’s vocals with their own musical stylings and personal aesthetics. As musical architecture, this album constructs a bridge between generations, between cultures and races.

RE:GENERATIONS celebrates our love of melody, harmony, percussion and lyrics – the universal language that brings us all together. Welcome to the sounds of Nat King Cole’s RE:GENERATIONS...
