New Album "If" (Oct 2021 release)

[Lux Aeterna]

I am surprise nothing from Sam Coats considering he has helped remix some great songs for them in recent years.

Is it possible that some of the arrangements are by him even if iTunes is not acknowledging arrangers?

Well, we know that Sam was heavily involved in the making of the Christmas album, but he's not credited in any of the songs he arranged. So it's possible that itunes only credited Mr Prizeman for some reason.

True! But this information was available in the CD booklet I believe. If not, we definitely gleaned it from somewhere else. Does anyone remember? I bought the digital album only and the metadata does not contain this information.

The arranger is always credited in the concert programs.

If I remember correctly, the arranger is listed in their album booklets and concert programmes, as long as it's someone other than Robert who arranged the song.

As for just listing "Robert Prizeman & Libera" on platforms like iTunes, this is IMO the lowest possible degree of information required, that is: only the most general information to know where to assign the music to or how to find it.

Libera has now announced the album on their website with teasers of various lengths to listen to (30 - 50s, the length on iTunes is 90s) and not necessarily starting at the beginning, so indeed: teasers. And with links for the purchase and the lyrics to each song.

And now If is my earworm again.

Yes, you can find this information in the CD booklet.

A recent tweet from Libera Official..
I'm not quite sure if this is related towards the new album or something big.

Good to know!

In other developments, we have some big news on the way as per Libera's Twitter and Instagram feeds.



An official album announcement at long last?

Our posts intersected!

Such coincidence that is.

Anyhow,I wonder what's the big news.

There is a second picture on Instagram - somehow reminds me of the set of "if" (picture from the digital SJSS programme), what do you think?

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the "if" video will be released soon.

Well the newspaper is from 1924 - and too early for an association with "If" and Anne Frank - but I suspect a little historical licence has been allowed.

That’s interesting that Libera have released different parts of the songs that Itunes so we have nearly 2 mins of tracks now. The album is gonna be amazing I think.


Nunc definitely sounds like Tadgh to me now. I can’t place that second voice.
