The EP was recorded at Spacebomb Studios–the same place as her album–and includes live versions of "My Baby Don't Understand Me" and "Christy."
Side by Side also includes three live covers of Anita Baker's "Caught Up in the Rapture", Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence", and Grimes' "REALiTI".
Says Prass of her cover choices:
"I chose 'Caught Up in the Rapture' because it's the perfect song and Anita Baker can really work a shoulder pad. I have crazy respect for her.
"'Sound of Silence.' I dig the S & G... not like most people do. I can put it on for like a few songs because the lyrics and soft singing are very soothing, but then I'll have to put on James Brown Live at the Apollo just to balance it out. Carmen McRae's psychedelic version of this song is brilliant. We did it her way. It's got that balance. This kind of style of music comes very naturally to us Richmond music folk. This was a one take Jake.
"'REALiTi' by Grimes. Four chords. Simple lyrics and melodies. I think the world of her. We worked this song out in the studio never having played it before and recorded it like 3 times through. I think it works although she's probably going to say 'what is this jazz shit' and hate it."
this woman is amazing. cant wait!
Yes! Natalie’s debut is still my fave album of 2015 so this live cover EP is heaven sent. I really can’t wait to hear her version of “REALiTi”!
