“I’ll Be Seeing You” was inspired by recent losses surrounding Marshall’s inner circle of life—including Sun collaborator Philippe Zdar, who tragically passed in 2019.

“When people who you love have been taken from you, there’s always a song that holds their memory in your mind,” Marshall ruminates while talking about the importance that the cover itself holds in her heart. “It’s a conversation with those on the other side, and it’s really important for me to reach out to people that way.”

Since Marshall announced the Covers in early October with her take on Frank Ocean’s “Bad Religion” and the Pogues’ “A Pair Of Brown Eyes,” she’s appeared on The Late Late Show With James Corden and announced a 32-date US tour that begins January 16, includes Brooklyn Steel on January 19, and continues into May. ​​She also recently shared the first official music video for the album, with her take on Dead Man’s Bones’ “Pa Pa Power.”

As Marshall explains herself, creating a conversation that spans generations is part of what drives her to continue performing and recording renditions of others’ songs like she’s done here: “I play covers all the time, and it’s important for me to record them because it’s what me and my listeners both get…,” she explains, and in that regard Covers is an impressive document of artistic interpretation that is truly built to last.
