 Janet Jackson is not the only veteran artist celebrating the number 20. Eight-time Grammy Award winner Natalie Cole is gearing up to drop her 20th studio album on September 26th. Titled Leavin’, the 12-song set is a compilation of classic pop, r&b and rock tracks from artists such as Fiona Apple, Aretha Franklin, Kate Bush, Sting, Shelby Lynne and others. It will also offer the original “5 Minutes Away,” which counts as her first new song in nearly four years.
"Leavin’ represents a musical freedom that has given me the opportunity to explore the greatness in the songs of some of our most talented and gifted songwriters,” said Natalie. "It was a lot of fun to be able to put our spin on these songs and I thoroughly enjoyed interpreting them." The music legend closed a four-night run at Los Angeles' Viper Room last night (Sep. 14) and spoke on working with Dallas Austin, who produced “5 Minutes Away." "Dallas was absolutely brilliant in the studio and together I think we were able to present a fresh new twist on some great music. I can’t wait for our fans to hear the album.” |
