Straight No Chaser has released their seventh studio album today featuring 16 genre-spanning new songs alongside twelve entertaining conversational interludes wherein the nine members of Straight No Chaser trace their unlikely rise from an undergraduate singing group at Indiana University to a beloved Atlantic Records act with a devoted international fanbase. Along with “Motownphilly/This Is How We Do It,” the LP sees SNC doing what they do best with distinctive takes on classic pop and soul favorites, including Ricky Martin's “Livin' La Vida Loca,” Fleetwood Mac's “Go Your Own Way,” James Brown's “Papa's Got a Brand New Bag,” and Percy Sledge's “When a Man Loves a Woman.” “One Shot” is perhaps highlighted by a richly harmonized version of Simon & Garfunkel's “Homeward Bound” in which the hard-touring group expresses their deep yearning for the comforts of family life. The touching companion visual shows footage of the group on tour mixed with some personal home videos of their families. The video had its premiere recently via USA Today.

Opera isn't my go-to art form, I'll admit it. In fact, I don't know many people who truly appreciate opera music nor do they understand what it actually takes to become a successful opera singer. It's an art that often goes unnoticed because of the stereotypes that it is long, boring, difficult to understand, unrelatable, and only for old, rich people. But if music is a universal language, and I truly believe this to be true, then why do we insist that we cannot understand and then listen to all forms of music except for this one? I recently had the honor of speaking with two artists who are radically trying to change the scene, and make opera music accessible to everyone.
