An Electro-Folk rendition of an original: "Year of the Cat" by Holly Lovelady

"Year of the Cat" by Holly Lovelady

Holly is back to release her next offering which is reimagining of the original ‘Year Of The Cat’ by Al Stewart first released in 1976. Enamoured by the beauty of the piano, references to ‘ Casa Blanca ’ and “The Cat” referring to the 12th year in Vietnamese astrology, Holly rewrote the song, recreating the iconic piano sequence and adding her own verses and twist of her signature ghostly, spiritual mysticism to the instrumentation. 
By substituting the film references of the original with characters from Award Winning TV show ‘ Peaky Blinders ’ to make the track relevant to a modern audience. The song was recorded by Holly alongside Bob Mackenzie (Motor Museum), produced by Matt Taylor and mixed and mastered by Brian Sheil (Brytestar).

Wer Holly kennt darf sich freuen, wem sie unbekannt ist wird positiv überrascht werden, es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall reinzuhören, so viel darf man vorwegnehmen. Bei "Year Of The Cat" handelt es sich um eine Neuinterpretation des Originals von Al Stuart aus dem Jahre 1976. 
Holly erstellte die Sequenz des Klaviers neu, fügte ihre eigenen Verse bei und gab so dem Song einen neuen Charakter, respektive Signatur. Holly gelang es, einem Song aus den 70ern, neues Leben einzuhauchen und man darf die Inszenierung, fast 50 Jahre nach seinem ersten Release, als perfekt bezeichnen.
