Recensie
Van Morrison will release his new album ‘Remembering Now’ on June 13th 2025. It represents his first collection of original music since 2022 and also follows the acclaimed covers albums ‘Moving On Skiffle’ and ‘Accentuate The Positive’. The album’s launch is accompanied by the long-awaited single ‘Down To Joy’, which receives its first official release after memorably featuring in Kenneth Branagh’s Oscar and BAFTA winning film ‘Belfast’. With ‘Remembering Now’, Van Morrison returns to the transcendent, uncategorisable rhapsodies that make him unique. Soul, jazz, blues, folk, country - this is music in conversation with all of them but limited by none. Its rich with hallmarks of classic Van Morrison.
Beyond his key band members, ‘Remembering Now’ features an array of accomplished collaborators. Its strings were arranged and directed by Fiachra Trench (Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello), whose association with Van Morrison goes back to ‘Avalon Sunset’ in 1989. Those strings were performed by the Fews Ensemble led by Joanne Quigley. Other contributions come from Michael Beckwith, the founder of the Agape International Spiritual Center, the renowned lyricist Don Black (Ennio Morricone, John Barry, Quincy Jones); and the acclaimed folk artist Seth Lakeman.
