Illinois folkster Lissie hit it big last year when her debut LP Catching a Tiger made waves, garnering acclaim worldwide and being certified gold in the UK. The singer-songwriter is now hoping to keep the momentum going with her new EP, Covered Up with Flowers.
A press release from her label Fat Possum explains that the five-song mini-set finds the country-tinged songstress tipping her hat to some of her favourite artists. Fans of Lissie may have already heard her laid-back, down-home interpretations of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters," Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" and Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness," either in concert or via YouTube.
She keeps things fresh, however, with a pair of newly covered tunes, a "soulful, rootsy take on Joe South's "Games People Play" and a haunting version of Nick Cave's "The Ship Song."
Further described as "highlighting both her artistic versatility and the range of her extraordinary, sun-and-whiskey-soaked voice," Covered Up with Flowers comes out November 8.
