STARS, ICONS, LEGENDS — ALL UNDER ONE BANNER
Welcome to the wild, the beautiful, and the boundary-breaking. SSM’s latest lineup of reissues, remixes, and rare recordings brings the brilliance of pop, rock, Broadway, and Beethoven into one electrifying newsletter. Here’s what’s spinning in our world this month:
🎭 BOY GEORGE – Closet Classics
The eyeliner. The anthems. The attitude. From ‘80s icon to modern provocateur, Boy George doesn’t just wear the crown—he is the culture. His Closet Classics compilation is a high-glam, high-drama time capsule from a time when pop was loud, proud, and fabulously defiant.
🎤 Still making headlines: Whether he’s calling out J.K. Rowling or calling down the house with Culture Club, George remains as bold as ever.
📍 And in a full-circle moment? He once graced Southampton’s HMV stage—now he’s owning digital shelves worldwide.
🎸 INXS – The Timeless Thieves Return
It’s been 40 years since Listen Like Thieves first kicked the doors down. Today, INXS is back on the charts, proving once again that great music never dies—it multiplies.
🔥 Never-before-heard demos, nostalgic bangers, and a career-spanning reappraisal have re-ignited fan devotion. Michael Hutchence’s charisma. The Farriss brothers’ precision. Kirk Pengilly’s unmistakable sax lines. This is Aussie rock history—louder than ever.
🗣 “This band had a work ethic like no other,” says Andrew Farriss. And it shows.
🇦🇺 Plus, catch JD Fortune on his upcoming Best Of INXS Australian tour, reimagining the band’s hits for a new generation.
✨ DREAMGIRLS REMIXED – Broadway to the Beat
Step aside, sequins. Dreamgirls just got a remix. This new edition spins Broadway’s most glittering musical into a kaleidoscope of funk, soul, and remixed grooves.
💫 Kesha spilled the tea on being a background extra in the original Dreamgirls film—but now she could be front-row for this remix renaissance.
🎶 Featuring nods to Hudson, Holliday, and Ralph, this is a tribute to both the legacy and the evolution of Motown magic.
🎼 CLASSICAL MASTERPIECES: BEETHOVEN – The Best Of
“Dun dun dun DUN!” You already know the opening notes—but have you felt the power behind them? Dive into Beethoven’s most dramatic and breathtaking works in this masterfully curated collection.
🎻 From the defiant Fifth Symphony to the soaring Emperor Concerto, this set is both a crash course for the curious and a treasure trove for the devoted.
👂 Lucia Micarelli recalls being floored by Op. 130 at just 15. That’s the kind of shock Beethoven still delivers—centuries later.
🐍 ALICE COOPER LIVE – The Shock Rolls On
You can’t kill the King of Shock Rock. Alice Cooper, 77 and still on fire, just rocked a Connecticut casino with boa constrictors, guillotines, and a surprise appearance by original bassist Dennis Dunaway.
👻 The tour? Pure spectacle. The sound? Louder than hell. The vibes? Immortal.
🎉 After the show? Celebrating at a Scranton restaurant for Sheryl Cooper’s birthday—because even monsters need cake.
🛣 And it’s not slowing down: Catch Alice this summer on his Too Close For Comfort Tour and this fall as he joins Judas Priest on a double bill of heavy-metal havoc.
SSM: LEGACY LOUDER THAN EVER.
Rediscover the classics, reimagine the legends. You bring the ears—we bring the icons.
