Upcoming Broadway Albums & CD ReleasesRelease Dates for Broadway CDs, Streaming, Cast Albums, Solo Releases, iTunes & MoreThe soundtrack to KURIOS: Cabinet of Curiosities, the latest Big Top spectacle from Cirque du Soleil, will be available on CD and digital release beginning Tuesday, December 9. The music for KURIOS represents a thrilling new sound for the company. In line with the show's theme of time travel, the music of KURIOS compels listeners to imagine musicians from jazz's peak era performing alongside contemporary DJs. The blending of vintage and modern styles in the music (a theme that extends to all facets of the show) serves to present jazz and swing in a way that has universal appeal. The intriguing songs complement the show's mission, which is to blur the lines of fantasy and reality, immersing the viewer in a mysterious and fascinating realm that disorients the senses and challenges perceptions. Inspired by electro-swing, jazz and the sounds of the Big Band Era, KURIOS represents an entirely fresh take on these beloved musical genres. "Inverted World" starts off with a beautiful classical piano and string duo before diving into a 1920s influenced klezmer/banjo bluegrass mashup with hints of jazz legend Django Reinhardt. The soundtrack continues this classical/contemporary mix with the counterbalance of a piano solo with theremin on the song "Departure." Swing beats are placed front and center on the fast-paced "Say That Thing," "Go the We Bap" and "You Must Be Joking." All of these songs move the story of KURIOS forward, creating an intricate and rich sound that will resonate with music lovers everywhere. Label: Cirque du Soleil
