"Continuing a triumphant early-2020s creative resurgence, Moby once again mines his mainstream peak period with another catalog reimagining for Deutsche Grammophon, Resound NYC. Taking songs that he recorded in New York City from 1994 to 2010, this is more than just a simple "add some strings, make it classy" orchestral reworking: these are transformations on a grand, opulent scale that push the tracks to cinematic proportions, almost making the originals sound like bedroom demos ... Hearing these decades-old hits in a fresh light is revelatory. By injecting such a collaborative, human element into the beloved originals, Moby pulls off yet another successful catalog reimagining with heart and soul to spare".

"The gospel-inspired 'Walk With Me' featuring the acclaimed jazz/blues singer Lady Blackbird is captivating and haunting as is the beautiful cover of Neil Young's 'Helpless' (the only non-original on this album) which really captures the emotion, sung by Cowboy Junkies' Margo Timmins and Damien Jurado. 'Resound NYC' feels almost stripped back and intimate, despite the orchestral flourishes and sumptuous textures and these reworked versions of classic Moby songs have been altered enough to give them a fresh sound without losing the heart and appeal of the originals".
