Juliana Hatfield Publicizes ELO Covers Album

Hatfield needed to get into the trivia of “Don’t Carry Me Down” in an effort to put her personal spin on the 1979 basic. The observe “is such a stable development that attempting to transform it initially felt like taking a sledgehammer to concrete,” she mentioned. “I didn’t fear about matching all the unique’s actual sounds and elements, and we even dared a couple of cymbal crashes (the ELO model has one famously unchanging drum loop–no crashes—from begin to end). This isn’t a radical reinvention however it is a bit more bubbly.”

Pre-orders for Juliana Hatfield Sings ELO are ongoing. The LP shall be out there on CD, cassette, and 4 completely different colours of vinyl, and a restricted version 7-inch will characteristic two songs not current on the album: “I’m Alive” and “Once I Was a Boy.” The challenge follows Hatfield’s different covers albums, 2018’s Juliana Hatfield Sings Olivia Newton-John and 2019’s Juliana Hatfield Sings The Police.
