Now, Marshall is readying her third album of covers, simply titled Covers, to be released January 14. She has even released multiple covers projects, including her 1995 EP, Undercover, and two full albums, 2000’s The Covers Record and 2008’s Jukebox.


She has reinvented songs in her live shows and on her albums since the beginning of her career most recently, she performed Rihanna’s “Stay” on her 2018 album, Wanderer. Covers are part of the deal with Cat Power, the musical project of singer-songwriter Chan Marshall.
