Manu Chao previews new album with EP

Tomorrow, July 24, multilingual alt-rocker Manu Chao will digitally release an EP “sneak-preview” of his upcoming album, La Radiolina. It features (and is named after) “Rainin in Paradise,” a danceable rocker with cynical lyrics backed by emergency-vehicle sirens.

"My little radio [Radiolina's English translation] is much different than "Rainin,'" Chao, a multi-linguist, told the Philadelphia Inquirer."It'll be a fruit salad in comparison."

Chao’s first US release in six years, La Radiolina will hit shelves Sept. 4 on Nacional/Because.
