Episode description
Aldous Harding is one of the most compelling voices of our time. Across three albums she has shapeshifted in every song, her voice bends and changes almost like stepping into a different character, with each story.
Aldous is a spellbinding human in person too; on stage and in other interviews I’ve read and seen. But I learned more about her from this Take 5 than I ever have before. These songs reveal a lot about Aldous, as a performer, as a songwriter, and as an artist. This is one of those conversations where I could frame just about everything she said. From El Perro Del Mar to Nina Simone, this is the voice.
God Knows (You Gotta Give To Get) - El perro del mar
Stars (Live At Casino Montreux, 3rd July 1976)- Nina Simone
Diana - Alexander ‘Skip’ Spence
