‘You’ve Changed’ will be featured on ‘Think of Spring‘, Ward’s new album of Billie Holiday covers that will be released via ANTI- on 11th December. The conceit of ‘Think of Spring’ is to filter the songs and strings from Billie Holiday’s ‘Lady In Satin’ through a single acoustic guitar using various alternate tunings and a minimal amount of textures and studio manipulation; most of the songs were recorded on an analog Tascam four-track. The title ‘Think of Spring’ comes from a poem written in 1924 by Jane Brown-Thompson that eventually became “I Get Along Without You Very Well” in 1938 – the first song on the record. Proceeds from ‘Think of Spring’ will benefit Inner-City Arts & DonorsChoose via PLUS1 for Black Lives Fund.
On the album’s 11th December release day, M. Ward will be hosting a Livestream performance at 9 PM ET (2 AM GMT). The set will feature a full band performance that will be filmed at Portland, OR’s Aladdin Theatre and will be available for 72 hours after the initial Livestream.
