Anticipating the release of his new collaborative album, Ben Folds joined his doppelganger Bill DeVille for a chat and in-studio performance featuring two new songs.

Though he's performed live with ensembles for more than a decade, So There marks Ben Folds' first recorded album with an orchestra. It features eight chamber pop tracks with the yMusic Ensemble (three strings, three winds) and one piano concerto co-commissioned by the Nashville Symphony and Minnesota Orchestra.
