Mark Lettieri Releases New Single, Palisade

Mark Lettieri’s new single, “Palisade,” is out now! “Palisade" is a personal song for Mark Lettieri, inspired by a missed connection for a friendship-mentorship that never fully materialized due to life circumstances, though he remains hopeful. Built around a long-held baritone guitar riff, the song reflects on "what ifs" and nods to Don Henley's "Boys of Summer," aligning with the retro 80s vibe of Lettieri's music at the time. Like much of his work, it seeks perspective and emotional clarity.

Snarky Puppy Releases 'We Like It Here (Remixed + Remastered + Reimagined)'

A dramatically new spin on the record that changed everything for Snarky Puppy: We Like It Here (Remixed + Remastered + Reimagined) is out now!

From the moment Snarky Puppy played its first overseas show to a sold-out London crowd, they felt at home in Europe. Recorded and filmed live with a studio audience over 4 nights in the Netherlands, We Like It Here captures the band at its most explorative point in its career, in both composition and improvisation. Celebrating 10 years since the original album was released, the Remixed + Remastered + Reimagined version includes 8 original tracks, 8 alternate take tracks, and 1 bonus track — the first-ever recording of “Gretel,” which was withheld from WLIH and then rerecorded months later in a large format alongside the Metropole Orkest on Sylva.

Listen to the full album, watch the videos, and pre-order the limited edition, 4-disc vinyl box set!
