Seether, Tinie Tempah and Moby lead May 17 release dates

As the world waits for Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way’s” birth on May 23, the release slate for major artists slows to a trickle for a week. That means that Adele’s “21” likely gets one more week at the top of the  Billboard 200 before Momma Monster takes over. In the meantime, there are some tasty treats out May 17. 
Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi, “Rome” (Capitol):Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton) and Italian composer Luppi wrote a number of songs based on classic Italian film music and recorded with many of the elder musicians who originally recorded on such historic movies “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon A Time in the West.” Guests include Jack White and Norah Jones.

Moby, “Destroyed” (Mute): Electronic/ambiant musician Moby sets forth his 10th studio album, which was written largely on tour and late at night during bouts of insomnia. A book of photography with the same name is coming out simultaneously.

Led off by first single, “Something to Believe In,” adult contemporary pop group returns with a new album.
