Born in the Echoes
Born in the Echoes is the eighth album by English electronic music duo The Chemical Brothers, released on 17 July 2015 by Astralwerks in the United States and by Virgin EMI Records in the United Kingdom. It was their first studio album since 2010's Further.
Promotion and release
The album's first single, "Sometimes I Feel So Deserted", was released on 21 April 2015. The second single, "Go", was released on 5 May. "Under Neon Lights" was released as the third single on 23 June 2015, and features St. Vincent, credited by her real name (Annie Clark) on vocals.
The album was released on 17 July 2015.
Critical Reception
The performance of "Go" in the charts propelled The Chemical Brothers back into the mainstream, with DJs such as Annie Mac including it on their playlists of the year. However, some critics believe it was "poppy", and not keeping to their roots. Despite this, the remainder of the album was well received, drawing particular attention to the 1990s sound of singles such as "I'll see you there" and "Taste of Honey". Overall, it proved a moderate commercial success whilst maintaining enough of its distinctly "big-beat" sound that gave it such success with albums such as "Dig Your Own Hole" and "Surrender".

It was followed by the releases of "Big Green Tractor" and "The Truth", which also topped the chart in September 2009 and January 2010, respectively. "Crazy Town" is the fourth single from the album, which peaked at number 2.
As with his first two albums, Wide Open was produced by Michael Knox. This album debuted at #2 on the US Top Country Albums chart.
Content

Additionally, Trent Willmon previously recorded "The Truth" on his 2008 album Broken In.
Commodores
The Commodores are an American funk/soul band, which was at its peak in the late 1970s through the mid 1980s. The members of the group met as mostly freshmen at Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) in 1968, and signed with Motown in November 1972, having first caught the public eye opening for The Jackson 5 while on tour.
The group's most successful period was in the late 1970s and early 1980s when Lionel Richie was co-lead singer. The band's biggest hit singles are ballads such as "Easy", "Three Times a Lady", and "Nightshift"; and funky dance hits which include "Brick House", "Fancy Dancer", "Lady (You Bring Me Up)", and "Too Hot ta Trot". However it was in 1986 that the Commodores won their first Grammy for the song "Nightshift".
Band history
The Commodores originally came together from two former groups, the Mystics and the Jays. There was even a Jazz aspect to one of the groups. They wanted to change the name. Together, a six-man band was created from which the notable individuals were Lionel Richie, Thomas McClary, and William King from the Mystics; Andre Callahan, Michael Gilbert, and Milan Williams were from the Jays. To choose a new name, William "WAK" King opened a dictionary and randomly picked a word. "We lucked out", he remarked with a laugh when telling this story to People magazine. "We almost became 'The Commodes!
Commodores (album)
Commodores is the self-titled fifth studio album by the Commodores, released in 1977. The album spent eight weeks at the top of the R&B/soul albums chart, the second of their albums to do so, and was their first Top 5 pop album.
There is also a previously released extended version.
Reception
The band employed a variety of musical styles for the album, highlighted by the popular anthem "Brick House". With Walter Orange's squeaking/growling voice on the lead, and Ronald LaPread's roundtone bassline, this track peaked on the U.S. Hot 100 at #5, and the U.S. R&B Chart at #4. As their second single, "Brick House" helped to propel the Commodores into the spotlight as a leading R&B act.
In contrast to "Brick House", "Easy" is a pop-soul ballad with mellow vocals by Lionel Richie with a Southern country twist.
"Zoom" is one of the Commodores' best known tunes, despite not being released as a single in the US. It reached #38 on the UK singles chart.Fergie sampled "Zoom" in her song "All That I Got (The Make-Up Song)" on the album The Dutchess.
Commodores 13
Commodores 13 is the tenth studio album by the Commodores, released in 1983. It is their first album after Lionel Richie left the group, and their last album with guitarist Thomas McClary before his departure from the band (McClary recorded a solo album for Motown Records in 1984, and then retired from the music industry). The song "Turn Off the Lights" was written as a sequel to 1981's "Lady (You Bring Me Up)".

Wide Open
by: Erin O'donnellI curse the day I thought enough
of myself to tricle out
from the underside of your big thumb
and make my way about
a prodigal without a game
a rebel without guts
but that weakness brought me home again
when I had had enough
(Chorus:)
I'm wide open
torn in two
and finally I'm ready now
to fall back into you
I dreamed a dream once
of me and you
me peekin' round every corner
and you just out of view
sometimes see a coattail
or maybe just a show
but lying here wide open now
I'm seeing all of you
(Chorus:)
I'm wide open
torn in two
and finally I'm ready now
to fall back into you
with everything pulled away
you can get inside
where I'm wide open
with nothing left to hide
(Bridge)
I've got to turn my face away
I can not meet your eyes
there are no secrets anymore
no thing hidden from sight
(Chorus:)
I'm wide open
torn in two
and finally I'm ready now
to fall back into you
with everything pulled away
you can get inside
where I'm wide open
