Over the course of her decades-spanning, accomplished discography, singer/songwriter/producer Cat Power AKA Chan Marshall has consistently contributed a musical conversation that spans genres and generations, and her new album Covers out now on Domino is no exception. The album has been met with widespread praise from The New Yorker, MOJO, Pitchfork, Vulture, FADER, NYLON, Rolling Stone and more, all highlighting her unmatched art of song interpretation, as well as echoing Marshall’s multi-generational impact. Read recent features with Stereogum, an in-conversation with Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde for Interview Magazine, a recent appearance on WTF with Marc Maron and listen to Covers here.
The self-produced Covers is Marshall’s third collection of covers, following 2000’s seminal The Covers Record and the blockbuster Jukebox from 2008 and features fresh interpretations of Frank Ocean, Nick Cave, Iggy Pop, The Pogues, The Replacements, Lana Del Rey, Bob Seger, Jackson Browne and more.
“When I do covers, I feel such a responsibility to the artists I love—some I’ve never met, some I have,” Marshall explains, and longtime fans will instantly recognize some of the covers included here from live sets in recent years.”
The new album showcases Marshall’s singular chronicling of the ever-evolving great American songbook - featuring her own personal rendition of Billie Holiday's “I’ll Be Seeing You,” an owe to a lost friend, Frank Ocean's "Bad Religion," the Dead Man's Bones' "Pa Pa Power,” the Pogues' "A Pair Of Brown Eyes,” plus an updated rendition of the Cat Power song "Hate" from The Greatest (2006), retitled “Unhate” for the album. Covers is at once a reminder of Marshall’s artistically intuitive power and the latest chapter in a truly illustrious career.
Earlier this year she appeared on The Late Late Show With James Corden and will embark on an extensive full band US tour that begins April 13, includes Brooklyn Steel on April 18, and continues into the summer. Additionally, Marshall recently scored, alongside Eddie Vedder and Glen Hansard, the soundtrack to Sean Penn’s film Flag Day. Marshall’s work continues to ripple through genres, and was recently covered by Depeche Mode’s lead singer Dave Gahan and Soulsavers, for a fresh reinterpretation of her song “Metal Heart,” the first single from their forthcoming album.
