On her second visit to the show she chose The Cure’s “Friday I’m In Love”, and revisits that song on this album, (second single from the album), and it is just wonderful. Kate covered the Oasis song “Don’t Go Away”.
Pure music label group plus#
Jo invites guests to sing a cover of their choosing, plus their own material. The idea began a few years ago when Kate was rehearsing for the Jo Whiley BBC Radio 2 show. Her dreamy tone and note perfect delivery, plus her innate phrasing, adds the folk element to the different genres covered here. The natural Yorkshire accent is so endearing. First off, the 1986 Bangles song, and I was reminded just how good this cover is and how classy and effortless Kate’s voice is.Īt the end of the dozen tracks, my face ached from smiling! Each song was as though Kate had written it for herself. Surely this would be a car crash moment…No worries, it’s a belter. I then found out Kate’s third single from the album would be the Taylor Swift annoyingly hooky pop smash “Shake It Off”. It must be decent as Susanna Hoffs, lead singer of the Bangles, contacted Kate to tell her she loved this new version. I was very, very pleasantly surprised as to how this now indelibly imprinted original song was such a snug fit for a British folk artist in 2020. So, when I was told British folk star Kate Rusby’s latest solo album was to be an album of a dozen covers, I reserved judgement, but admit I feared the worst!īefore the physical CD arrived, I had access to a digital version of the single, “Manic Monday” – The Bangles classic – and I also saw the fabulously fun video, which features Kate’s young daughters. That this is their heartfelt tribute to those songs and artists, and this is “the album I/we have always wanted to make”. Usually the press blurb accompanying the promo copies to reviewers, declares that these are the songs and artists that inspired and influenced this band or artist. It does not store any personal data.When an established band or artist decide to add a covers album to their catalogue, it can often end up sounding like it’s a case of running out of ideas, songwriter’s block for original material, or simply fulfilling a contractual obligation.Ī bunch of tired old songs that have been done to death already, and most never sounding anywhere near as good as the originals.
