Angel Olsen has released a cover of Billy Idol’s 1984 ballad “Eyes Without a Face.”
Produced with Adam McDaniel, the cover takes a straightforward approach to the song, placing Olsen’s filtered voice against synths and bright guitar. “Eyes without a face, eyes without a face/Got no human grace, your eyes without a face,” she sings.
The song will be featured on Olsen’s upcoming Aisles EP, out this Friday, August 20th. The project sees her departing from her usual folk and country-influenced songwriting in favor of Eighties covers. Besides “Eyes Without a Face,” other tracks included on the EP are Laura Branigan’s “Gloria,” Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark’s “If You Leave,” Men Without Hats’ “Safety Dance,” and Alphaville’s “Forever Young.”
“I know it’s not really in my history to do something unintentional or just for the hell of it, but my connection to these songs is pretty straightforward,” Olsen said of the EP in a statement. “I just wanted to have a little fun and be a little more spontaneous, and I think I needed to remember that I could!”
Aisles will see a physical release on September 24th, which you can preorder here.
Earlier this month, Olsen joined Sharon Van Etten on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform an acoustic version of their single “Like I Used To.”
NLE Choppa fires back at NBA Ben 10 and the mothers of his children on the confrontational new track “Set The Record Straight,” delivering a tense, aggressive performance. On the song, he confronts rumors about his sexuality pushed by his children’s mothers and responds to claims that he has been absent as a father. Set against a stark piano loop and a gritty trap backdrop, Choppa unloads on critics and rivals, keeping his cadence controlled before switching into quicker bursts. While the approach does not break new ground for him, it should land well with listeners who ride for his style. Alongside “Set The Record Straight,” Choppa also released "Shotta Flow 8."

If I pull my strap and you pull a phone out then you p***y,
Harris County Jail almost had me in central booking,
Call a spade for a spade, you need insurance for police,
Crackin' 4's with this K, I told Lil Trey, ''Pass me my ski''
We can dirty up, I'm in the field cleated up,
I'm back and I'on give a f**k, bounced out the car and said, ''What up?''
Dead beat, who? Me and my kids super glue,
We got h*es tryna be mamas, that's the problem, damn fool
