Guilty Guilty Guilty
American-born avant-garde performance artist, Diamanda Galas, release her 17th album
On Diamanda Galás 17th album, ‘Guilty, Guilty, Guilty’, the first since 2004 – the queen of extended vocal techniques turns standards from jazz, blues, and country music into her own musical genre.
Using the full extent of her vocal arsenal and a virtuosic piano technique, Galás carves songs of doomed love into haunting works that promise to rip your heart out.
Featured on the album are her much acclaimed reinterpretations of Ralph Stanley’s reaper song, ‘O Death’; O. V. Wright’s ‘8 Men and 4 Women’; ‘Long Black Veil’ made popular by Johnny Cash; ‘Time (Interlude)’ sung by Timi Yuro; Tracy Nelson’s ‘Down So Low’; her signature rendition of ‘Autumn Leaves’; and the favorite ‘Heaven Have Mercy’, made famous by Edith Piaf.
“No other presence in new music is so dramatic, so frightening, so controversial as Diamanda Galás. Her voice is the most phenomenal in new music.” American Music in the 20th Century
The album ‘Guilty Guilty Guilty’ is released on 31 March
