Cat Power, a.k.a. Chan Marshall, has released her version of “Stay“, the 2012’s Rihanna single, originally written by Justin Parker and Mikky Ekko. “Stay” is the third song to be unveiled from her forthcoming new album Wanderer, landing October 5th via Domino.
“I love the tradition of covering songs”, says Marshall. “I think it’s one of the highest compliments you can pay another artist. It’s one of the great traditions in American music and one of the great pleasures.”
A beautiful performance of “Stay” was filmed at the Los Angeles studio of Rob Schnapf (producer for Elliot Smith, Beck, mixing on Wanderer), by frequent Cat Power collaborator Greg Hunt.
