The Complete Album Story

"Reprise" is an album by American electronica musician Moby, released in May 2021. It is a unique approach where Moby revisits and reimagines several of his biggest hits over his three-decade-long career.

Featuring collaborations with various artists, including Kris Kristofferson, Mark Lanegan, Gregory Porter, and Skylar Grey, among others, the album showcases Moby's wide influence and respect among his peers in the music industry.

Moby's decision for this acoustic and orchestral treatment profoundly transformed the essence of his songs, giving them a new life with a more symphonic or string-intensive setup perfect for a live orchestra. The 14-track album was recorded at Studio Two of the iconic EastWest Studios with members of the Budapest Art Orchestra. This marked a significant departure from Moby's usual electronic music styling and entered a realm of classical elegance.

"Reprise" is a distinctive body of work that stands out in Moby's illustrious career, providing a fresh perspective and deeper understanding of his music genre's pioneering artist.
