Cat Power covers Billie Holiday and shares reimagined version of own song "Hate"
Cat Power has delivered another pair of tracks from her upcoming Covers album, this time featuring a cover of Billie Holiday's "I’ll Be Seeing You", as well as a reimagined version of her own song "Hate".
Cat Power's version of "I'll Be Seeing You", and the reimagined version of "Hate" - titled "Unhate" - follow last month's cover of "Pa Pa Power" by Dead Man's Bones.
Speaking about the Billie Holiday cover, Cat Power, real name Chan Marshall, said, "When people who you love have been taken from you, there’s always a song that holds their memory in your mind. It’s a conversation with those on the other side, and it’s really important for me to reach out to people that way."
Covers is the third covers album from Cat Power, following 2008's Jukebox and The Covers Record from 2000, and will include Marshall's versions of songs by Nick Cave, Iggy Pop, Jackson Browne, Billie Holiday and more.
The album will follow Cat Power's 2018 album Wanderer.
