Rex classic \u201cThe Motivator,\u201d which serves as the title-track for their upcoming album, out August 2nd via Blue \u00c9lan Records.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Currie and Darling give \u201cThe Motivator\u201d a slick contemporary makeover without forfeiting any of the original\u2019s suggestive edge. The pair start out trading verses, with Currie\u2019s rough-cut voice balancing Darling\u2019s more soulful vocals, though the pair soon come together to create a wholly unique harmony.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Though Currie and Darling were both came up in the Los Angeles music scene during the Seventies as members of the Runaways and Fanny, respectively, the pair didn\u2019t meet until 2017. The two bonded quickly and decided to cut a record together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In a statement, Currie said the original concept of the album \u2014 which comprises nine covers and three originals \u2014 was to have her sing a few songs and Darling sing a few, with each providing back up for the other. But their rendition of \u201cThe Motivator\u201d became a template for how many of the LP\u2019s songs ended up as straight duets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI knew our voices really worked well together,\u201d Currie said. \u201c[I]n my head I heard a duet, me doing the first verse, her on the second verse and that started the dialog of using our voices together as a concept. Our voices complement each other, so we decided we should share the majority of these songs, because it makes them better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">An official track list has yet to be released, but <em>The Motivator<\/em> will feature covers of songs by artists like the Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, John Lennon, the Kinks and Buffalo Springfield. The album\u2019s three original tracks are titled \u201cToo Bruised,\u201d \u201cI\u2019m Too Good, That\u2019s Just Too Bad\u201d and \u201cThis Is Our Time.\u201d Dave Darling produced the record.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/cherie-currie-brie-darling-new-album-t-rex-cover-the-motivator-827934\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles rock and roll stalwarts Cherie Currie and Brie Darling unveiled a cover of the T.
