Cat Power - The Greatest
Cat Power’s Chan Marshall is already an indie-rock goddess, a Nico-esque figure with a cult following. But Marshall, known as the Queen of Sadcore, now seems destined for greater fame. Her latest album, recorded with all-star Memphis sidemen, is the beguiling artist’s strongest work to date. “Could We” is a buoyant love song, while the title track is a piano ballad about a boy who dreams of becoming a boxer, And the soulful, organ-drenched “Living Proof” could well turn out to be Marshall’s big, breakthrough hit.
