On his new album \u003ci\u003eApart\u003c\/i\u003e, the Washington-based singer\/songwriter reimagines some of his most beloved songs to date, stripping each lavishly arranged track back to the very essence of its creation. Not only an ideal showcase for his powerfully emotive voice, the result is a testament to the magic within Stone’s artistry: a profound understanding of music’s potential to imprint upon our lives, and a commitment to creating the kind of songs that endlessly impart wisdom and comfort and undeniable joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing 11 songs culled from his last three albums—and one exquisite Bob Marley cover—\u003ci\u003eApart\u003c\/i\u003e kicks off with the dreamy rumination of “Unaware.” In a departure from the lush and eclectic arrangement of the original (a cut from his 2011 self-titled sophomore effort), the track unfolds in sparse acoustic guitar work that sweetly heightens its mood of aching frustration. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most breathtaking moments on \u003ci\u003eApart\u003c\/i\u003e, “Bed I Made” finds R\u0026amp;B star Alessia Cara joining Stone for a serendipitous duet. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll throughout \u003ci\u003eApart\u003c\/i\u003e, the simplicity of each song affirms Stone’s gift for drawing immense power from the most nuanced expression. On “Consider Me,” he twists a stunning standout from \u003ci\u003eBuilding Balance\u003c\/i\u003e into a gorgeously stark declaration of love, layering countless vocal takes to create a gospel-sized choir. Stone closes out \u003ci\u003eApart \u003c\/i\u003eby transforming Bob Marley’s classic love song into a luminous piano ballad laced with his heart-stopping vocal runs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ATO Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50465736163659,"sku":"1131254","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/641c1d10-327f-4e3c-a2ee-94c8a071642a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727295692","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/apart","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
