Swedish-based supergroup Crowne is back with their highly anticipated third studio album, “Wonderland”. Continuing their musical evolution, the band builds on their signature blend of melodic rock with heavier, power metal-infused soundscapes. "Wonderland" delivers an unforgettable listening experience filled with epic atmospheres, anthemic choruses and technical solos that showcase the band's impressive musicianship.
At the helm is Alex Strandell, known for his powerful and soaring vocals in bands like Art Nation, Lionville and Nitrate, who brings a level of intensity and passion to the album.

Music evolves and so does Buddha-Bar. This year marks a turning point in the history of the Buddha-Bar music compilations in all aspects such as music and design. On the musical side, this change is performed by DJ Papa, resident DJ of Buddha-Bar Monte Carlo since the opening in 2010.

Versions of many of the big hits of the era – "Love Is Blue," "This Guy's in Love with You," "Mrs. Robinson," etc. – are included and performed with the choral group's usual earnestness as Conniff recreates the arrangements used on the original hit recordings. But the album title is confusing, to put it mildly.
