On her first cover album, Heather Nova reinterprets songs by Sting, The National, Rick Astley. and the Bee Gees, among others: “For me, recording a cover is all about stripping away the original production, to find the bare bones of the song. I love the process of getting right inside the emotion of the song, feeling it as my own, and presenting it in a new, more raw and intimate form. I’m fascinated by how songs written by men feel very different when sung by a woman.”
