Andreas Scholl, who modestly considers himself "one of the top 10 countertenors in the world" is in reality a covert electropopper not averse to dropping a couple of octaves.
He wrote Adria Airways as "a protest song about how the Balkan airline lost his luggage on a flight from Ljubljana to Frankfurt last year, then irked him further by showing scant interest in trying to find it".

This story may smell as strange as Renee's fabled fragrance - but it checks out.
The People's Diva is to release an indie (-ish) album.
In which she will essay "a completely different style of singing.”
Entitled Dark Hope, it even features her two daughters and her sister on backup vocals (I guess Thomas Hampson turned the gig down then).
The improbable track listing:
Endlessly (Muse)
No One’s Gonna Love You (Band of Horses)
Oxygen (Willy Mason)
Today (Jefferson Airplane)
Intervention (Arcade Fire)
With Twilight As My Guide (The Mars Volta)
Mad World (Tears for Fears)
In Your Eyes (Peter Gabriel)
Stepping Stone (Duffy)
Soul Meets Body (Death Cab For Cutie)
Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)
Projected release date is May 18.
