A cappella fans are fortunate it's a holiday weekend because we have a lot of new music to enjoy. From legacies to debuts, this week's releases bring thick chords, soulful leads, and a little bit of comedy.

Manhattan Transfer

After several weeks of track leaks, the full album is here. "The Junction," an homage to Manhattan Transfer's classic single “Tuxedo Junction,” is the first release from the jazz ensemble in 10 years. Infused with a variety of energies from dark to pop, the album also marks the first with new bass Trist Curless. 

With more than 40 years of tradition, the voice and stature of Tim Hauser may have been lost in 2014, but his legacy lives on as the group continues to push in a familiar, yet innovative fashion. The album is available from all of your favorite retailers.

m-pact

In six degrees of a cappella, the group founded by Trist Curless also released a new video this week. With their award-winning acrobatic sound, the LA-based pop-jazz group gave us a soulful take on The Beatles’ classic “Come Together.” 

Home Free

Currently out on tour for "TIMELESS," the country a cappella giants released a new video for their cover of “Yours” by Russell Dickerson, featuring newest member (and Street Corner Symphony alum) Adam Chance on lead.

HIVE

The force that is HIVE released an original by Lisa Forkish as its entry in the NPR Tiny Desk contest. Feed your excitement and anticipation of seeing the group at BOSS next weekend with a peek at the warm lead by Forkish and intricate harmonies on “Lay It All Down.”

Six13

As Passover arrives at sundown, Six13 treated fans to a four-part series: "Must See Passover TV." The group also released a puzzle, whose winner will receive a free concert, AND lyrics so you can sing along at your seder. Chag sameach!

ONAIR

Six award-winning voices from Germany burst onto the scene in 2013 and shortly thereafter started winning major competitions and headlining stages across Europe. Their first album was honored with a CARA for the song “Wolf & I.” The group is back with a new single, Estelle’s “American Boy.”

VOXID

More vocal pop from Germany, VOXID released a single from its upcoming album, “Shades of Light,” which is due out on April 28. This week, fans got a preview with “Music Ain’t My Thing.”

Dhunki

The South Asian a cappella group from UT Dallas dropped its debut album, “Spellbound,” this week, a nod to the English translation of its group name. The five-song EP is a collection of mashups from Eastern and Western music.

And, if that’s not quite enough a cappella for you this week, BOSS kicks off a week from today and The Real Group is now on tour in the U.S. from April 6-14.
