Watch Cat Power's video for her version of "I'll Be Seeing You"

Cat Power's wistful reading of "I'll Be Seeing You" is off her forthcoming Covers album out January 14th.

Here's the scoop...

Cat Power, the singer/songwriter/producer Chan Marshall, previews her forthcoming album Covers (Domino) with a fresh interpretation of Billie Holiday's "I'll Be Seeing You" accompanied by a music video. Directed by Greg Hunt, the clip nods to Lady Day as Marshall sings behind a classic 1940’s-style Shure microphone in a cabaret hall evoking the jazz legend’s beautifully restrained vocals.  

“I’ll Be Seeing You” was inspired by recent losses surrounding Marshall’s inner circle of life—including Sun collaborator Philippe Zdar, who tragically passed in 2019.

 

“When people who you love have been taken from you, there’s always a song that holds their memory in your mind,” Marshall ruminates while talking about the importance that the cover itself holds in her heart. “It’s a conversation with those on the other side, and it’s really important for me to reach out to people that way.”
