Ben Folds Reveals Song From New Album
. According to the announcement the album will feature eight pop songs that were "recorded and arranged" with New York City sextet yMusic and "So There" will also feature a recording of Folds' 21-minute "Concerto For Piano and Orchestra," which features the Nashville Symphony conducted by Giancarlo Guerrero. Ben had this to say about the album, "I don't recall ever being quite so excited about an album I'm making I'll let you decide if that's a good thing or not. It's just that we don't often get to make a record that we've never heard before. "The arrangements you will hear on this record are straight up rock - not ornamentation. The odd instrumentation - piano, cello, viola, violin, flute/piccolo/alto flute, trumpet/French horn, and clarinet/bass clarinet, with no bass and more often than not, no drums - is yielding something that I can't wait to release. It's a pop record, if that's what you call what I write." NPR's All Things Considered have premiered the first song from the album, "Capable of Anything". NPR's Bob Boilen had this to say, "Ben Folds' music has taken another turn, firmly embracing strings and chamber music yet still maintaining a passion for his love of pop... I find this to be the most lovable piece of music I've ever heard from Ben Folds." Check out the song stream here.
