Very few artistes embrace the art of covering songs with as much grace as Chan Marshall, better known as Cat Power. She sings them in a manner which embraces the original artiste with an individuality that often makes her version unique. In her third collection of covers, Cat Power Covers, Marshall takes us through a gamut of artistes and their popular works.

The album will see versions of songs by Iggy Pop, Nick Cave, Frank Ocean, Billie Holiday and others. Often, her version has an unfamiliar sound from the original, as in the case of A pair of brown eyes by The Pogues that has turned into a hymn. The Replacements’ Here comes the regular has reinvented itself in a piano-driven melody thanks to Marshall.
