Amelia (Vinyl)
Nonesuch Records releases Laurie Andersonâs Amelia, the 2024 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient's first new album since 2018âs Grammy-winning Landfall. The record comprises 22 tracks about renowned female aviator Amelia Earhartâs tragic last flight. Anderson, who Pitchfork says, âsees the future, but she starts by paying attentionâ, wrote the music and lyrics for this subjective narrative piece. On the album, she is joined by the Czech orchestra Filharmonie Brno, conducted by Dennis Russell Davies, and Anohni, Gabriel Cabezas, Rob Moose, Ryan Kelly, Martha Mooke, Marc Ribot, Tony Scherr, Nadia Sirota, and Kenny Wolleson. Earhart was a passionate pioneer of early aviation, achieving fame as the first woman to cross the Atlantic, in 1932.
Five years later, she embarked on a flight around the world. Before she could complete the voyage, her plane disappeared without a trace; it has never been found. âThe words used in Amelia are inspired by her pilot diaries, the telegrams she wrote to her husband, and my idea of what a woman flying around the world might think about,â Anderson says. First premiered at Carnegie Hall in 2000, the updated piece was recently performed across Europe.
