"Killer Instincts" by Various Artists is a captivating compilation of reimagined classics, set to release on May 8, 2020, under Mode Records. This unique album blends the rich tapestry of theatrical and musical heritage with the vibrant, rhythmic energy of champeta, a genre that originated in Colombia's coastal regions. The arrangements by M. Renne and S. M. Sun breathe new life into well-known tracks from Broadway hits like "Chicago," "Candide," and "Company," as well as lesser-known gems from "Der Silbersee" and "Trouble in Tahiti." The album also features a diverse range of styles, from the hauntingly beautiful "Abschied von der Erde" by Franz Schubert to the playful and satirical "Political Science." With a runtime of just over 54 minutes, "Killer Instincts" offers a dynamic and engaging listening experience that showcases the versatility and creativity of the artists involved. Whether you're a fan of musical theater, champeta, or simply great music, this album promises to delight and surprise.
