The Sun Lounge

Ep. 127 The morning is the time of the day which has so much beauty, so much promise, and so much anticipation. Certain music captures the soul of the morning - the waking up, the changing physicality, the sunrise itself, so let's play some.  From Serbia, Canada, France, Italy, and even America's Jimmy Scott doing an acquired taste version of a Simply Red track.

Ep. 126 -  It's amazing just how far music travels. You may not understand everything you hear, yet sometimes the concept coupled with the sweet melody can do as much, and sometimes more than if you understood.  Norway's Kaja Gunnufsen is one such example. And with Matt Bianco's Basia, Rick Braun, and others (including a cameo this week from Adam), we'll send you somewhere else this week, on The Sun Lounge. 

The Sun Lounge Ep. 125 From flutist Bobbi Humphrey, to France's lyrically class with Camille and Sylvie Boisel, the Sun lounge will take you somewhere else. We've also got Landon Pigg  and Randy Newman to wrap out a feel good show of steamy tracks.  Listen up!

Ep. 124 Starting the show with a touch of British duo, Goldfrapp's Paganism, we delve into some of the world's most exotic music nerve centres, including Cape Verde (yes, an amazing country), Brazil (Antonio Carlos Jobim and Elis Regina), Chile (Mariana Montalvo), and Quebec (with Chantal Chamberland).  All there, again, to take you somewhere else. 

Ep. 123 It is a show packed with summer treats this week, all there to take you somewhere else. Till Bronner, Scandinavia's Lars Hug and Lisa Ekdahl duet, Francoise Hardy, Cyrille Aimee, Saint Privat and Mystic Diversion just to name a few.  Join Adam for an hour of bliss. 

Ep. 122 Well, after eating way too much to the demise of your beach belly, at least you can count on The Sun Lounge to bring you a more sensible taste of summer.  Gypsy jazz from France with Sanseverino, Italy's legendary Fiorella Mannoia, beautiful works from Omar Sosa, Jaques Morelembaum and more, a tribute to Henri Mancini, Mamas and Papas, and even Adam wishes you a Happy New Year in song.  It's all there to take you somewhere else. 

Ep. 121 The end of the year is here, and we have the Sun Lounge favourite artists with their own sunny versions of Christmas songs.  Adam interviews Laura Vall and Thomas Hjorth in LA from the Bossa Nova supergroup, NOVA.  With Eliane Elias, Soulstance, Mario Biondi, and Denis Solee to keep you feeling great, The Sun Lounge will take you somewhere else.

Ep. 120  Some beautiful tracks to take you somewhere else this week.  We have the mystique of Lhasa, the seduction of Jazzystics, the sheer beauty of Troels Hammer, the Italian re-interpretation of Give Me The Night by Smoma, the sunny presence of Mario Biondi, and Zee Erf to give you that feeling you're in a far away place.  Listen to this week's episode now!

Ep 119  If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?  Using some global data from StreetBees, Adam looks at the top countries which people said they would nest and live the rest of their lives in.  You'll be surprised.  Throw in lots of exotic tracks and artists like Anoushka Shankar, Norah Jones, Natacha Atlas, Hindi Zahra, Youn Sun Nah, and others, and you'll be digging this episode. 

Ep 118 Christmas is approaching, and we're all planning.  But have you ever considered spending Christmas in a warmer place? This week Adam takes you to some great places worldwide where you could consider exchanging your white Christmas to a white-sand Christmas. There's some superb tracks from Till Bronner, Jim Hall, Malia, Ruck P, Zizi Possi, Tierney Sutton and others. It's jazz, nu jazz, folk, and lots of jet-setting, all there to take you somewhere else. 

Ep 117 An air of nostalgia in the sunshine this week - the legend Henri Salvador, Italian crooner Giovanni Lodigiani, jazz diva Stacey Kent, Henry Mancini, Mario Biondi does an acapella version of What A Fool Believes, and Brazil's Ivan Lins with his version of Jobim's Once I Loved.  ...And lots more to take you somewhere else.

Ep 116 After so many requests, this week it's a full episode of all the best pop and rock songs covered in Bossa Nova, jazz, and folk, from the likes of of Coldplay, Rihanna, Lou Reed, Duran Duran, Bryan Adams, Maroon 5, David Bowie and lots more.  Some of these covers may even out-do the originals. But one thing's for sure, they will take you somewhere else. 

Ep 115 Sit back and enjoy the sounds of the Sun Lounge, which this week will take you somewhere else.   From Italy to France, and many other places around the globe, it's world music at its classiest.  This week, Camille, Tim Maia, Joao Effect, Horace Silver, Lucio Dalla, and Herb Alpert amongst others. 

Ep 114 As the world enters shoulder seasons, and no region falls squarely into summer or winter, well, we chose summer! It's a show with music that conjures up the emotion to take you somewhere else, with Azymuth, Sade, Jojo Effect, Coralie Clement, Pauline Croze, a great samba cover of the Korgis classic, Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime, and even a touch of Peter, Paul, and Mary to take you to the late 60s. 

Ep. 113 Have you ever been so excited to get away, but organizing it just eats away at your time, and the trip planning starts becoming stress city? This week, Adam gives you his take on how you can get organised and travelling to those sun drenched places in a lot less time.  Songs from the likes of Brazil's Nana Caymmi, the African diva Angelique Kidjo, the Bahama Soul Club, Germany's Nu Braz, Canada's Holly Cole, and Italy's Pino Danielle, all there, to take you somewhere else.
