The time has come. "Weird Al" Yankovic, the biggest selling comedy recording artist of all time, has returned to demolish the pop landscape with "Alpocalypse", his first full-length studio album in nearly five years set to be released on June 21.
Few would have guessed that Yankovic, who as an awkward teenager, would go on to enjoy a varied and successful career that is now entering its fourth decade. Over that time he's won 3 Grammys (with 12 nominations), racked up 31 Gold and Platinum Albums, and won countless awards and accolades for Weird Al classics like "Eat It," "Like a Surgeon," "Fat," "Smells Like Nirvana," "Amish Paradise" and "The Saga Begins.
The first single from Alpocalypse is the Lady Gaga parody "Perform This Way," and also features parodies of Miley Cyrus ("Party In The CIA" ), Taylor Swift ("TMZ" ), B.o.B Featuring Bruno Mars ("Another Tattoo" ) and T.I. ("Whatever You Like"). The album's requisite polka medley - "Polka Face" - features accordion-driven versions of songs by the biggest artists of the day, including Justin Bieber, Ke$ha, Britney Spears, P!nk, Lady Antebellum, Katy Perry and of course, Lady Gaga.
The album also features a fine assortment of Al originals, including the Doors homage "Craigslist" (with keyboards by original Doors member Ray Manzarek), the twisted love song "If That Isn't Love" (with Taylor Hanson on piano) and the provocatively-titled magnum opus "Stop Forwarding That Crap To Me."
With a career that spans over 30 years and stretches from her roots in gospel into an iconic pop star, Amy Grant releases her 15th studio album, How Mercy Looks from Here, and announces a series of tour dates with Brandon Heath, in Bend, OR., Portland, OR., and Seattle, WA. this July.
Grant has sold more than 30 million albums and won six GRAMMY® Awards in multiple categories, beginning with the platinum selling Age to Age in 1982. She also has six #1 hits, including “Baby, Baby,” and “Every Heartbeat” and is one of only two Christian artists to be awarded a star on the legendary Walk of Fame in Hollywood. Her latest project, How Mercy Looks from Here, dropped in early May.
