New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Randy Newman, who previously announced An Evening with
Randy Newman tour of Australia and New Zealand for early 2020, will bring that tour to
Europe next spring. The 23-concert European leg of the tour starts at
Lilla Cirkus in Stockholm on May 17 and includes shows in Norway, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, UK, Belgium, Ireland, and France, culminating at La Cigale in Paris on June 23.
These tour dates follow the release of Dark Matter, Newman's first album of new material in a decade, which includes the Grammy Award-winning song "Putin." Nonesuch Records released Dark Matter, the follow-up to 2008's best-selling Harps and Angels, in August 2017 to widespread critical acclaim. "A collection of mordant musical entertainments that moves deftly from the sharply political to the deeply personal, from the Cuban Missile Crisis and Putin to songs of love and death that glide gracefully and cut deep," wrote Mojo, which rated it one of the best albums of the year, as did Uncut magazine, which proclaimed: "Each satirical sketch is lavishly arranged like a miniature film score, with multiple characters, shifting points of view and dramatic lurches in musical style." In the words of the Daily Telegraph, "Newman has made an album that is a match for anything in his canon. Both topical and timeless."
To pick up a copy of Dark Matter, head to iTunes, Amazon, and the Top40-Charts Store, where CD and vinyl orders include a download of the complete album at checkout, and listen now on Spotify and Apple Music.
