11月7号-11号亚城音乐会/演唱会讯息
MONDAY
Robyn
She recently popped up on “Gossip Girl,” but the Swedish pop singer will do something a little more highbrow in December when she performs at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway. She hasn’t had a U.S. hit since 1997, when two songs from her debut album, “Robyn Is Here,” climbed into the Top 10. “Do You Know (What It Takes)” and “Show Me Love” both peaked at No. 7. In the meantime, she’s continued to gain international success and critical favor. This year, she’s already released two albums (“Body Talk Pt. 1” and “Body Talk Pt. 2”) with a third scheduled for later this month.
7 p.m. Nov. 8. $20 in advance. The Buckhead Theatre, 3110 Roswell Road, Atlanta. 404-843-2825.
TUESDAY
DJ Shadow
DJ Shadow emerged in 1996 with the sampling master class of his debut album “Endtroducing,” a genre-defining example of turntablism. It must take a long time to excavate and thread those grooves together because he’s hardly been a prolific artist. He’s only released two more albums under his own name, but he’s stayed busy with remixes and collaborations with Cut Chemist and others.
9 p.m. Nov. 9. $35; $32 in advance. The Loft, 1374 W. Peachtree St. N.W., Atlanta. 404-885-1365.
THURSDAY
Fantasia
The third-season “American Idol” champ released her debut album, “Free Yourself,” in 2004. Though far from perfect, it was a fine start and tentatively positioned Fantasia as the heir to Patti LaBelle’s atomic-powered diva crown. A self-titled follow-up provided her with the No. 1 R&B hit “When I See U.” Then came a long break from recording, which ended when she released “Back to Me” this year. With Eric Benét.
7:30 p.m. Nov. 11. $87. Fox Theatre, 660 Peachtree St. N.E., Atlanta. 404-881-2100.
