It should come as no surprise to see us reimagine fifteen of 9-time Grammy Award winner Billie Eilish’s most intriguing tracks. Our string rendition of “bad guy” remains one of our most streamed tracks on Spotify and last year, we turned her latest single, “LUNCH,” into classical crossover magic for VSQ Performs The Hits of 2024. And while “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” was climbing to the most streamed song of 2024 on Spotify, we were busy celebrating the alt-pop superstar’s musical prowess, VSQ-style, in preparation for a full-length album. The result: VSQ Performs Billie Eilish, which features a diverse set of Eilish’s songs arranged for strings, from “ocean eyes”—the one that started it all—to three tracks off of her latest album, Hit Me Hard and Soft.

On her upcoming album Cuban Christmas, Sarah Willis, horn-player of the Berliner Philharmoniker teams up with the Sarahbanda. Together they inject the colourful, contagious energy of Cuban music into a selection of timeless holiday classics. The album further includes works by Bach and Tchaikovsky – these too reimagined with Cuban flair. “Cuban Christmas is a celebration of culture, connection, and the music that makes the season magical,” says Willis. “I truly hope it brings as much happiness to your home as it brought to mine while creating it.”

Rachael Yamagata is proud to announce her new studio album in almost ten years, Starlit Alchemy, due out on October 3rd via Jullian Records. A fiercely independent artist with a voice both instantly recognizable and emotionally unflinching, Rachael Yamagata first emerged in the early 2000s with her critically acclaimed debut Happenstance. Over the next two decades, she built a loyal following on the strength of her raw, cinematic songwriting and soul-baring live performances – releasing a string of beloved records including Elephants…Teeth Sinking Into Heart, Chesapeake, and Tightrope Walker. Known for pairing bruising vulnerability with wry humor and unabashed grit, she’s worked with artists as varied as Liz Phair, Toots and The Maytals, Ray LaMontagne, Ryan Adams, and Bright Eyes, while consistently forging her own path outside the major label system. Now, she’s returned with her most intuitive yet intentional work yet. Starlit Alchemy isn’t a collection of singles or an algorithmic playlist; it’s a “deep dive record,” as Yamagata calls it – a body of work meant to be heard in full.”
