Canadian folk-rocker Kathleen Edwards has unveiled a new music video for "Change the Sheets," the stark and romantic first single from her upcoming fourth studio album "Voyageur," which was recorded between August 2010 and May of this year in Fall Creek, Wisconsin and Toronto, features collaborations with Bon Iver's Justin Vernon.
Hailing from Canada, The 33-year-old Alternative country songstress has been honing her craft for some time. Writing and releasing some superb work, Edwards seems to specialize in characterization, fleshing out her musical portraits with an eye for cutting detail. She released three albums from 2003-2008, but hasn't produced new music since. The new set "Voyageur," is due to be released on January 17th, Edwards' first full length in four years.
"Change the Sheets," a road ditty that she warned "might make you drive faster," is a pleasant pop song that combines acoustic and electric guitars in a playful manner. Her vocals softly compliment the tightly composed keyboard-driven song. It's a bewitching song with a hint of Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac in its sparkling polish and pulsing bass line, and it travels in the spaces of classic rock and country tropes, dissolving relationships, late night travel and makes them sound completely riveting, no doubt aided by a production that is big without being glossy. This is a certifiably classic Edwards tune.
Serves as a document of life on tour, which sped-up natural imagery mixed with footage from the van and soundcheck, the Dan Huiting-directed video replete with fitting accompaniment for the breezy, folk-tinged rock tune, and the footage of Edwards and her band pounding the pavement on recent tours. The clip also culminates in the same way as any good road video with live footage of the band playing of the song in front of an adoring audience. It's a fitting accompaniment for the breezy, folk-tinged rock tune.
