Key Sentence:

• Bridgers participates in the upcoming cover of the metal band The Metallica Blacklist alongside Miley Cyrus, Rina Savayama, and more.

As part of Metallica’s upcoming remix album, The Metallica Blacklist, Phoebe Bridgers released a new version of the metal band’s 1991 song “Nothing Else Matters.” The musician’s cover, which sells electric guitars for pianos and orchestral synthesizers, follows another revised version of the song released by Miley Cyrus in June.

In an interview with Zane Lowe, Bridgers spoke about his perception of the song: “It was great to be a part of it. I feel my version sounds almost baroque. “

“James (Hatfield) does all sorts of weird octave jumps and things I just can’t do,” he added, saying he almost had “the Billy Isle approach… right next to the mic and the exact opposite of who they are.” happy to bow.”…Bridgers also stated that he is a longtime Metallica fan. “I thought it was funny; I probably met him longer than so many people who have always loved him,” he said. “But when I was a teenager I traveled to Outside Lands – and I know Metallica songs from video games and stuff – but I went to Outside Lands and saw their set, and I thought, ‘That’s a rock band.’

“It’s sort of a gateway to Metal because they’re so much fun, and you can think a lot about them and get stuck in your head.”

Metallica’s blacklist marks the 30th anniversary of the band’s fifth major studio album (AKA The Black Album). Released in its sum on September 9, it contains covers of songs from the Black Album by 53 artists, including Rina Sawayama, Mac DeMarco, Weezer, St. Vincent, Moses Sumney, J. Balvin, IDLES, and Kamasi Washington.
