Heather Nova - Other Shores (new covers album)

[jivafox]

Heather has announced her new album - out NEXT AUGUST (?!)

It’s an acoustic covers album and there are a few, erm…choices

 

[FetchFugly]

OLD CHESTNUTS come to mind

 

[BoysForSeles]

Yes, I thought there must be a misprint on the release date baring in mind she’s mentioned this for a while but seemingly not. I think it essentially just became a lockdown project while all her gigs got cancelled.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Hmmm

 

[BoysForSeles]

I like she didn’t change the gender references.

 

[FetchFugly]

She does sound wonderful as usual on Waiting For a Girl Like You, but imagine announcing a lockdown covers album the best part of a year in advance.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Yes, her voice is beautiful on the choruses in particular.

 

[jivafox]

Really like this

 

[BoysForSeles]

She’s gracing London with her presence on 20th November, looks like I’ll be popping back.

 

[jivafox]

@Suedey LET’S?

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I have tickets!




( In the key of

)

 

[BoysForSeles]

Me too!

Why are so many songwriters spending half their time covering other songs please?

New single and video for ‘Fireproof’ (originally by The National).

 

[BoysForSeles]

Here Comes Your Man by The Pixies is the latest preview track. Think it’s my favourite so far.

 

[BoysForSeles]

So this came out on Friday, my gold vinyl is on the way. OK, an acoustic covers set is never the most thrilling proposition but this is done well and definitely works as a mood piece.

Top 20 in Germany $ucce$$

 

[BoysForSeles]

She was so good tonight in London. Secretly fumin’ she chose a 20something gay to join her on stage for London Rain even though I was sitting a few rows back and didn’t put my hand up or volunteer (but was still prettier).

 

[BoysForSeles]

I think @Suedey and I were discussing having met some artists somewhere, I ended up having a chat with Heather after and made her laugh talking stuff and nonsense. She was lovely, have a pic on my Insta chatting.

Finally listened too this recently actually. I'm really enjoying Fireproof at the moment. It's so wintry.

Agreed, has ended up one of my main takeaways from this album.

I also like her version of Cold Little Heart.

 

[FetchFugly]

There are two or three songs that she should have just left alone but as an album it is a much more enjoyable listen than I thought.
