Apollo5’s studio album, Invocations, was born out of the group’s desire to share fragments of their life stories with audiences, and to encourage listeners to discover their ‘life music’ too. Alongside long-term collaborator Fraser Wilson, Apollo5’s singers individually hand-picked songs and texts that have emotionally resonated with them over the course of their lives; the songs selected were then reworked by Fraser into brand new versions. This colourful melange of melody is Apollo5’s most personal project yet, accentuating the power of music as a soundtrack to a life.
Invocations was released on 10 March 2023 on VOCES8 Records.
