Jann Arden Is Dropping a 'Mixtape' of Cover Songs

BY Calum SlingerlandPublished Nov 15, 2024

Jann Arden will open 2025 with a collection of cover songs. The award-winning artist will share Mixtape on January 31 via Universal Music Canada.

Following her 2021 album Descendant, the 11-song Mixtape finds Arden reinterpreting some of her favourites by Sia, Seal, Joan Osborne, Robyn, Don Henley, Chris Isaak and more.

Arden shares of her latest, "The nineties were an unbelievably complex and unique decade for the music business globally. The artists — the songs — they were some of the most interesting and groundbreaking moments anyone had ever seen or heard. Being able to tip my hat to this innovative group of music makers was absolutely inspiring and magical." 

Arriving first is a cover of Des'ree's "You Gotta Be," which you can hear in the player below.
