Manu Chao: “Tu Te Vas” (2024)
Listening to 2024’s Viva Tu is a bit dizzying: Spanish, French and English, all within the first three songs of Manu Chao’s 2024 release. A half-dozen languages across an album that mixes the personal and the political, the intimate and the anthemic.
Remarkably, it was the singer’s first studio album in 17 years, but his unique formula remained intact, much to the appreciation of fans he’d kept waiting for new material.

Connie Converse: “House” (2026)
We elsewhere told the tale of singular folk songwriter Connie Converse, her inspired music, disappointing career and mysterious disappearance.
To the 2026 reissue of her How Sad, How Lovely album was added this bonus, previously unreleased track.
It’s one more example of her lyrical gift, and a heartfelt reminder of all the things “home” can mean.
