Taking a nostalgic journey, Tattoo Me pays homage to musical trailblazers who helped shape her own artistic path. As a reflection of her eclectic taste, yet in keeping with a profound respect for the greats, these 11 tracks are a unique tapestry of influences tending to transcend era and genre.
From the sizzling blues-rock of 1960âs Nina Simoneâs âThe Pusherâ, to the rebellious energy of 1972 Alice CooperâsâIs it My Bodyâ, Aaron growls, purrs, whispers and wails, sounding like sheâs having an absolute blast infusing these songs with her own fiery spirit. Her voice is as versatile and powerful as ever.
Standout tracks include a rendition of Led ZeppelinâsâWhat Is And What Should Never Beâ, HeartâsâEven It Upâ and Holeâs âMalibuâ. Stellar performances by Aaronâs long-term band channeling these â70s and â80s rock giants and seeming to capture the original magic of each of the tunes.
Another gem is Aaronâs take on Elton Johnâs âSomeone Saved My Life Tonightâ. Kellyâs acoustic guitars create the soundscape, then strings and lush harmonies support Aaronâs stirring vocal performance. The tribute is passionate and heartfelt. She reflected, âI spent hours and hours laying on my basement floor with headphones listening to âSomeone Saved My Life Tonightâ on repeat. I desperately wanted someone to save me from my boring life when I was a teenager⌠Music ended up being that for me.â
The album also takes some unexpected turns, with delightful interpretations of songs from a diverse range of artists, including lateâ 90s Brit-Pop band Elastica, Californiaâs 77âs and The Undertones. Each track echoes the vibe of the era while seamlessly fitting into the lineage of Aaronâs own storied career.
Tattoo Me is a sonic time capsule, bridging the decades. Once again, cementing her status as a rock ânâ roll chameleon, Aaron blends the old and the new, proving not only that the transcendent power of music never stops, but that she herself isnât ready to anytime soon.
