After four decades in the music business, Australian Idol judge Marcia Hines is showing no signs of slowing down.
During her time in the spotlight, Marcia’s learnt a thing or two. She brings together a collection of songs that have taught her a thing or two in her new album, Life. In the album’s CD slick, she shares stories and advice relating to her song choices.
“You know how there are songs in your life that when you’re sad and you’re boo hoo that you put it on, or you have songs that are really uplifting? Well these songs have meant a lot to me in my life so I just thought if they work for me they might work for everybody else,” she told The Sydney Morning Herald.
The songs include cover versions of John Lennon’s “Imagine,” Toni Braxton’s “Breathe Again” and, her latest single, a version of REM’s “Everybody Hurts.”
Fans can expect to hear these covers when Marcia supports Lionel Richie on his Australian tour next month. Life is in stores on Saturday.
