Daniel Lanois — Belladonna Nocturne 

New album featuring 14 original tracks

Belladonna Nocturne is an ambient, instrumental album by legendary producer and musician Daniel Lanois. the 14-track record serves as a thematic sequel to his acclaimed 2005 release, Belladonna. It features his signature pedal steel and guitar work alongside guests such as Emmylou Harris, Brian Blade, Daryl Johnson and others. 

With Belladonna Nocturne, Lanois extends the dreamlike language of his acclaimed Grammy-nominated 2005 instrumental album, Belladonna, pushing into new musical realms. A thematic sequel, the new album unfolds as an immersive world of sound, layered textures, and cinematic atmospheres. Through his signature production and performances on pedal steel, piano, and guitar, Lanois invites listeners into an experience that is sublime, mysterious, and unmistakably his own.

Earlier this year, the legendary producer, songwriter, and seven-time Grammy-winning musician, announced his return to WMG in a career-spanning licensing deal covering a prolific 35-year period. Lanois' acclaimed debut album, Acadie, was originally released on Opal/Warner in 1989. In addition to new unreleased works, the deal brought 14 catalog albums to Warner, including For The Beauty of Wynona (1993), Shine (2003), Rockets (2004) and Flesh And Machine (2014). In February, Lanois marked the return with the release of "Grace," an evocative reinterpretation of the classic folk hymn "Amazing Grace," featuring the timeless voice of Aaron Neville. With "Grace," Lanois created music that feels sonically and emotionally expressive of our present times.
