VOCAbuLarieS

Ten-time Grammy Award winner / vocal innovator Bobby McFerrin surprises us yet again with 'VOCAbuLarieS', his first new release in eight years.

Like his #1 worldwide hit song "Don't Worry Be Happy" and his multi-platinum duo album 'Hush' with cellist Yo-Yo Ma, 'VOCAbuLarieS' is based on Bobby's experiments with multi-track recording and his ceaseless exploration of the potential of the human voice. 'VOCAbuLarieS' is Bobby McFerrin music for the 21st century. A collaboration with the composer / arranger / producer Roger Treece, 'VOCAbuLarieS' features over fifty of the world's finest singers, recorded one at a time and in small groups to create a virtual choir made up of over 1,400 vocal tracks.

Constructed as meticulously as a Mozart symphony or a Steely Dan album, intricately synthesized from countless stylistic elements, 'VOCAbuLarieS' may be unlike any album anyone has ever recorded. Yet the music is always accessible, joyous, and inviting. 'VOCAbuLarieS' celebrates Bobby's love of all musical genres, from classical to world music, R&B to gospel and beyond, building upon McFerrin's past explorations and journeying into bold new territory.

If the song "Don't Worry Be Happy" is all you know about Bobby McFerrin, sit back and prepare to be amazed.
