Washington Twee-C, Cat Power’s coming to town!

Amidst the craze of the pandemic, Cat Power, who received acclaim for her rendition of “Sea of Love,” released her newest album “Covers” in January. It is the third in singer Chan Marshall’s collection of cover albums.

The mother of modern indie rock, Marshall pours intimacy and emotion into each of her recordings, whether it be an original or a cover. Despite being in the industry for nearly three decades, Cat Power tracks don’t seem to age, maintaining a timeless sound.

Marshall, daughter of an Atlanta blues pianist, draws influence from a variety of genres. The Southern soul she grew up with is prevalent in her album “The Greatest,” which hosts her hit track of the same name. She also draws influence from blues and gospel in her work. Despite this, though, Marshall doesn’t see her music as sad, but rather triumphant, she told author Elizabeth Goodman.

“Covers” is stacked with famous tunes fused with Marshall’s signature sound, including “Bad Religion” by Frank Ocean, “White Mustang” by Lana Del Rey, and the recently-rediscovered “These Days” by Nico. Among the covers is a re-recording of Marshall’s own song “Hate.” The new track, titled “Unhate,” changed the lyrics of “I hate myself and I want to die” to the past tense. The change came to Marshall after the years of singing the 2006 song. “I had been touring solo in 2013, 2014. I had been playing ‘Hate’ every night, and when I found out I was pregnant I just instinctively, unthinkingly started to change the lyrics,” she told Clash Magazine.

Whether you want to hear what Marshall has brought to the table with her tenth studio album or revisit the classics, Cat Power will hit the stage once again at the intimate Lincoln Theatre on Friday, April 15 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $40!
