The title comes from the composer’s intention to have his personal legacy live on through this emotionally charged piece and features. Evoking a ticking clock, Navarro’s Legacy for Oboe and Symphony Orchestra transports the listener through time and its uncontrollable power over us all. One of the most prominent female musicians of her time, Farrenc was a gifted pianist and composer who went on to become professor of piano at the Paris Conservatory, which was almost unheard of for a woman at the time. 1 in E minor by 19th century French composer Louise Farrenc and Legacy by living Spanish composer Óscar Navarro.

Walker wrote the work as an elegy to his late grandmother and a testimony to her experience as an enslaved woman. Initially titled Lament, George Walker’s Lyric for Strings is an impactfully poignant piece with a notable history that continues to resonate with audiences. But despite that seismic shift in sonic direction, Moriondo continues to imbue each track with the diary-like honesty that’s earned her a global fanbase of millions, slowly revealing the immense depth of her sensitivity and creating the most gloriously uninhibited work yet from a truly one-of-a-kind artist. At turns campy and confessional, tender and explosive, SUCKERPUNCH is heralded by the sticky-sweet anthem “Fruity” and marks a bold leap forward from the understated indie-pop and jittery pop-punk of Blood Bunny, often echoing the sheer unpredictability suggested in its title. Expanding on the untamed imagination and volcanic emotionality of 2021’s Blood Bunny-a critically acclaimed album that landed on best-of-the-year lists from the likes of The New York Times-the 19-year-old Michigan native uses that whirlwind storytelling as a vessel for self-exploration, uncovering potent truths about self-image and obsession and the complexities of power.

On her new album SUCKERPUNCH, singer/songwriter Chloe Moriondo inhabits an entire cast of unruly characters: a larger-than-life vigilante who collects ill-behaved boys like figurines, a champagne-popping Barbie doll with its hair chopped off, a champion boxer stepping into the ring in a satin pink Hello Kitty robe.
