Easy listening releases, week 42

This week’s easy listening highlights include new insights into Madonna’s 'Confessions II' from producers Stuart Price and Andrew Watt, as well as the first-ever vinyl release of her 'Evita' soundtrack. Tracks from Piero Umiliani’s 'Il Corpo' and archival reflections on collaborations between legends like Aretha Franklin, Dean Martin, and Glen Campbell add depth to the genre’s rich history. The legacy of composer Bert Kaempfert, known for his work with Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole, is also revisited. Meanwhile, Ledisi’s expanded tribute to Dinah Washington offers a fresh take on a classic voice.
