Moby announces orchestral album, shares “Porcelain” ft Jim James

Moby has announced a new album, Reprise, which offers up orchestral versions of songs from throughout his catalog, and will be out May 28 via Deutsche Grammophon. For it he worked with the Budapest Art Orchestra and a cavalcade of special guests, including Jim James, Kris Kristofferson & Mark Lanegan, Mindy Jones, Víkingur Ólafsson, Apollo Jane, Deitrick Haddon, Gregory Porter & Amythyst Kiah, Skylar Grey and Darlingside, and Nataly Dawn, Alice Skye and Luna Li.

“Sorry if this seems self-evident, but for me the main purpose of music is to communicate emotion, to share some aspect of the human condition to whomever might be listening,” says Moby on his intentions for the album. "I long for the simplicity and vulnerability you can get with acoustic or classical music."
