On their cover of the song, Currie and Darling capture this blend of existential malaise and rambunctious rock energy as they streamline the crunch of the guitars and the stomp of the drums, while tossing in some tasteful string arrangements as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Currie and Darling\u2019s cover of \u201cDo It Again\u201d follows previously released renditions of the Youngbloods\u2019 \u201cGet Together\u201d and T. Rex\u2019s \u201cThe Motivator.\u201d <em>The Motivator<\/em> will mostly feature other covers of songs by artists like the Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, John Lennon and Buffalo Springfield, though it will also include three original tracks, \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 class=\"p1\">Both Currie and Darling were stalwarts of the Los Angeles music scene during the Seventies as members of the Runaways and Fanny, respectively, but the pair didn\u2019t meet until 2017. The two bonded quickly and decided to cut a record together. Originally, the plan was for each artist to sing a handful of songs individually, but after recording their version of \u201cThe Motivator,\u201d Currie and Darling decided to turn most of the songs into straight duets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Currie and Darling will celebrate the release of <em>The Motivator<\/em> with a special performance at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grammymuseum.org\/events\/detail\/cherie-currie-brie-darling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Grammy Museum<\/a> in Los Angeles August 1st. Along with the performance, Currie and Darling will discuss the making of the album with moderator Scott Goldman.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/cherie-currie-brie-darling-kinks-cover-do-it-again-861133\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The newly-minted rock duo, Cherie Currie and Brie Darling, unveiled a boisterous cover of the Kinks\u2019 1984 track, \u201cDo It Again,\u201d set to appear on their upcoming album, The Motivator, out August 2nd via Blue \u00c9lan Records.
