McBride and Qobuz teamed up for the first time In 2021 for the exclusive, made-for-Qobuz, end-to-end Hi-Res recording and original EP, The Q Sessions. Speaking about the music he recorded for Qobuz at the time, McBride said “I’m thrilled we captured these performances in Hi-Res audio and can deliver them to the listener without compromise, and I look forward to more with Qobuz.”
