The eclectic, much-loved British folk/pop/dance duo Everything But the Girl have announced they will reissue their much-loved first four albums in May.

Issued on May 28 by the Edsel label in the UK, the titles are: the classic folk-pop debut Eden (1984), the Smiths-like Love Not Money (1985), the Phil Spector-Meets-Country-Western Baby, The Stars Shine Bright (1986), and the pastoral adult-pop Idlewild (1988).

Legendary singer-songwriter Bobby Womack releases his latest album, The Bravest Man in the Universe this June via the uber hip XL Recordings. By way of a preview, XL has just offered a mini film directed by Jamie-James Medina about the making of the new album. The Making Of The Bravest Man In The Universe is live on YouTube now and we also present a stream for “Please Forgive My Heart”.
