Hear singer-guitarist Brandy Zdan recast Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” as dreamy indie-pop
“I choose covers that I can make my own and put my own stamp on,” she says. “The version on the recording is similar to how it’s done live. I’ll do it solo a lot and people don’t know what it is. They hear the first couple lines and are like, ‘II know this.’ Then they go crazy and end up singing along. It’s a great way into my other material.”Set for release on September 6th, “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” sets the stage for Zdan’s other entries in the “Cover Single Series.
“He’s a musical hero of our time, just like Joni Mitchell is. They don’t give a fuck. They’re true artists and that’s what I aspire to. I want to remain true to my vision, and protect it to a fault,” she says. She’s equally passionate about the vision of other female artists and sees a major void when it comes to women producers. At 35, Zdan just recently completed work on her first album as a producer, the full-length debut from Kelly Hoppenjans.
“There is something about a woman’s voice as a producer, or as an engineer, that is a special quality. There is an instinct there,” Zdan says. “I just recently met Linda Perry, which was incredibly inspiring. She kicked me in the ass in terms of needing to hear some things. No disrespect to men, but men are so willing to say they are something before they’re qualified to do so. Women need to feel like we deserve a title before we say it. But I knew I could [be a producer].
Zdan, who is married to Quaker City Night Hawks drummer Aaron Haynes, will perform with Haynes behind her during AmericanaFest in Nashville next week, playing a September 10th showcase at the Basement. She jokes that she’s not really Americana because she uses synths in her music, but she’s not hung up on tags., or a project by an up-and-coming new artist.In This Article:
