Ben Folds with yMusic

Debuting at #1 on Billboard’s Classical and Classical Crossover charts, So There showcases new pop songs by the multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter/producer, along with the debut recording of Folds’ critically acclaimed “Concerto For Piano and Orchestra.” The album was recorded in just under two weeks in New York, Los Angeles, and Folds’ own historic RCA Studio A in Nashville and has been praised for its forward-thinking studio craft and creative spontaneity.

NPR’s All Things Considered heralds the new album as “the most loveable piece of music I’ve ever heard from Ben Folds,” while The Guardian writes “for the new tracks with yMusic, the textures of the ensemble instruments – string trio, flute, clarinet, trumpet – are not ornamentally grafted on the music: they are the music.”

Folds first found international success as the leader of the Ben Folds Five. His subsequent solo career has seen the release of multiple studio albums, a pair documenting his renowned live performances, a remix collection, music for film and TV, an all a capella record, as well as numerous collaborations with artists spanning Sara Bareilles to William Shatner.
