3/13/2020 Releases of Note

There's a lot of fear and panic right now over the Corona Virus, so I feel it's best to try to keep ourselves focused on positives even though it's hard right now.  Upcoming digital music releases shouldn't be too affected since people don't need to gather in places to experience them, so here's a couple releases coming up later today/tomorrow EDT.

Al Di Meola-Across the Universe: I'm not familiar with this artist, but this is a Beatles covers album with the album art an homage to John Lennon's "Rock and Roll" album, which, in turn, was a photograph of him in Hamburg as Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Pete Best dashed past.  This will also feature compositions from all four Beatles members, as "Here Comes The Sun" and "Octopus's Garden" are on the album, as well as Lennon/McCartney tracks like "Yesterday," "Hey Jude" and "Dear Prudence."

Rita Ora-How to be Lonely: It isn't often that a single gets mention here, but amazon.com revealed this will be released.  Rita Ora is a British pop singer who sang the song in the end credits of "Pokémon; Detective Pikachu" as well as appearing in the film as a scientist studying Mewtwo.  Two years ago, she also released a collaboration entitled "Girls" with Bebe Rexha, Cardi B and Charli XCX, which is one of my favorite pop songs.  I'm looking forward to the song as Rita has a great sound and voice to her and is fun to listen to.
