Description
Under Cover features extraordinary interpretations of songs by some of June’s favorite artists including previously unreleased versions of Frank Ocean’s “Godspeed,” Joe South’s “Don’t It Make You Want To Go Home,” Gillian Welch’s “Look At Miss Ohio,” and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ “Into My Arms.” The EP also includes two tracks that appeared on June’s (digital only) The Moon and Stars: Prescriptions For Dreamers Deluxe Edition: John Lennon’s “Imagine,” and Nick Drake’s “Pink Moon.” Bob Dylan’s transcendent “Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here with You,” and June’s captivating reading of Mazzy Star’s “Fade Into You,” rounds out the set.
As one of American music’s most admired sonic experimentalists, June approaches these carefully chosen tracks with a sense of both reverence and freedom. It’s a one-of-a-kind balance between modern and traditional influences that makes her a special artistic force and these timeless songs her own.
The Memphis-born, Brooklyn-based June’s most recent release was the acclaimed 2021 album, The Moon and Stars: Prescriptions for Dreamers, which she co-produced along with Jack Splash. The album’s track “Call Me A Fool” was nominated for Best American Roots Song at the most recent Grammy Awards, the first of June’s career.
