I Can Only Be Me

Product Information

Now famed around the world for her moving interpretations of classics such as ‘ Over the Rainbow‘, ‘ Fields of Gold‘ and ‘ Time After Time‘, Eva Cassidy’s music has featured in films such as Love Actually and Maid in Manhattan as well as the current Netflix hit drama Firefly Lane. The title-‘ Songbird‘-was taken from Eva’s included cover of the Christine McVie classic that has closed many a Fleetwood Mac concert. ‘ Live At Blues Alley‘ and ‘ Eva By Heart‘ were both later released by Blix Street in the summer of 1998. The worldwide recognition for Eva’s music began with ‘ Fields of Gold‘ and ‘ Over the Rainbow‘ (the song played on BBC Radio 2 by Terry Wogan). People Magazine wrote at the time: “ Whether in jazz, folk, or inspirational music, Cassidy’s potential was huge, and this album stands as a testament to popular music’s loss”. Ryan, Gavin (2011). Australia's Music Charts 1988–2010 (pdfed.). Mt. Martha, VIC, Australia: Moonlight Publishing. p.52.

Biondo believes that skill is what freed her to bring so much emotion to the songs. “There are a lot of components to someone trying to pull off a tune,” he said. “They have to think about the technical parts, about what the next note is and what the phrasing will be. But because those things were so natural to Eva, it allowed her to go right to the next level, which was to go inside the song and feel the lyrics.”Official Albums Chart Top 100 10 March 2023 - 16 March 2023".

Eva Cassidy to release new album with help of AI technology

In recent years, Eva Cassidy has become the standard for a younger generation of female singers. Her influence is documented in ‘ Eva Cassidy: Timeless Voice‘, a 2013 television program. Adele has been quoted as saying: “ So I used to dress up like a Slipknot fan, and then after school I’d run home and listen to Eva Cassidy.”At times, however, the subtlety of her approach, and the quiet intensity of it, could fly over the heads of some audiences. “We never played loud which was a problem for us,” Biondo said. “One time, we played this club in southern Maryland and we were doing ballads, country tunes and the clientele was into Lynyrd Skynyrd, so people were leaving. The guy who had hired us to play said, ‘How about I pay you and you guys go home?’ It’s never a good thing when someone pays you to leave.” On the other hand, Biondo said Cassidy “thought that was kinda cool,” an attitude that underscores her focus on the performance rather than its reception. “She just liked to go out and sing,” he said. “She didn’t want anybody to jump up and down.” Songbird‘ paved the way for an unparalleled posthumous career including further No.1 UK albums in 2002 and 2003 and a No.1 duet single in 2007. Eva Cassidy has achieved 10 UK Gold albums, a feat only matched by 10 other female artists including Madonna, Kate Bush and Kylie Minogue, 4+million UK album sales, 10+million worldwide album sales, more than 1.2 billion worldwide streams. Her skill also meant she could improvise the tunes at will, as well as bend the notes with a sculptor’s care. “She could change the melody to something the band had not heard before on a gig-by-gig basis,” Biondo said.
