New Release Roundup: Simple Pleasures

As the very busy spring season is starting to wind down, we're drawn to some beautiful new releases this week. Here are this week's #FloFaves to help you enjoy what might just be the actual arrival of spring for the Northern Hemisphere!

Cast of Hamilton: An American Musical

"Hamilton" fans got quite a #Hamildrop this week with “First Burn,” showcasing five Elizas. The pop cultural revolution that is Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway baby keeps on giving and we’re not mad about it. Not even a little.



Home Free

The classic Crosby, Stills, & Nash song “Helplessly Hoping” got a delicate and stripped-back treatment by a cappella’s country stars. Sometimes simple is simply perfect.



Face

Speaking of simple beauty, Colorado’s favorite vocal rock band released a video of its cover of “The Parting Glass.” While we love Face's signature driving rhythm section and fun pop tunes, this is a great lesson in knowing that sometimes less is more. It also features a guest appearance by retired group founder Ben Lunstad.



Accent

The international jazz sensations added their lush chords to Arturo Sandoval’s “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye,” and it’s so good you’ll forgive the actual trumpet.



Main Street

The reigning International Quartet champion might just be warming up in the green room before a performance in Ohio, but it is oh so good. Anyone else counting down the days to #BHSOrlando?



Pros & Cons

This Swedish quintet put together a solemn and beautiful tribute to Avicii.



JMU Overtones

The Overtones from James Madison University released their first-ever music video with a stunning rendition of Jojo’s “Say Love” which features both emotional vocal delivery and outstanding choreography. Their new album, “Infrared,” is due out soon.
