The cover is set to appear on the new double album project epic Ten that pairs the original album alongside covers of its songs by artists like Fiona Apple, Lucinda Williams, Big Red Machine, and more.

The Muses of La Musa: Noga Erez
Tel Aviv pop auteur Noga Erez has been steadily building steam for years now, and judging from its latest single, her new album KIDS might be the moment she pops off for real. Erez spent 2020 trickling out tracks from the LP — “Views,” “NO News On TV,” “You So Done” — all of them bursting with a zippy, almost cartoonish energy that neatly contrasts her lackadaisical sing-spoken vocals. Influences of Gorillaz, Fiona Apple, M.I.A., and Billie Eilish in the mix among other things.
Politically-minded, socially conscious, and armed with bucket loads of acerbic swagger, Noga Erez has always had her finger on the pulse of the present. Her new single ‘End of the Road’, however, shifts her focus to the future.
Best Covers: Fiona Apple “The Whole Of The Moon”
Fiona Apple covered The Waterboys’ “The Whole Of The Moon” for the end credits of the series finale of The Affair. Apple also made the theme song for the Showtime show, which debuted back in 2014.
Seriosament, Andrew Bird
Amb el seu nou àlbum, “Are You Serious”, Andrew Bird ha ampliat l’abast del seu art reflectint directament la seva pròpia experiència.
Amb contribucions clau com les de Fiona Apple i Blake Mills, “Are You Serious” aconsegueix un nivell d’expressió que suposa una evolució personal. “Aquí estic amb el meu disc més directe, exposat i proper fins a la data”, diu. “Tingueu paciència” La revelació sorpresa de l’àlbum és “Left Handed Kisses”, un duet amb la singular Fiona Apple. Amb Bird interpretant a l’escèptic i Apple a la romàntica, la balada mostra a dos amants filosòficament oposats però atrets inevitablement. Sembla gairebé com un clàssic perdut de Johnny Cash i June Carter.
Are You Serious és el segon àlbum que Bird grava amb el productor Tony Berg, després de The Mysterious Production of Eggs el 2005. “Tony i jo vam passar mesos preparant-nos per Sound City”, diu Bird, referint-se al llegendari estudi de Los Angeles on Nirvana va gravar “Nevermind” I Neil Young, “After The Gold Rush”
