1 week ago ‘I wanted to be Nina Simone’: Jeff Buckley documentary shows female influences

It’s Never Over offers a new look at the short life of the musician and the importance women played in his lifeIn the years since Jeff Buckley’s shocking death at age 30 in 1997, his estate has sanctioned the release of 10 studio compilations, eight live collections, one box set, eight singles and five video recordings.

Our music addresses things that are simple and foundational, but very powerful.”Released last August – and now being performed live by the band across the summer festival circuit – the trio’s self-titled debut album is a lush, cathartic mix of gothic instrumentation and eldritch melody, like a lost Cocteau Twins masterpiece recorded in a cave in Eryri, stirring intense feelings even in those who can’t understand its Welsh lyrics. There’s a political dimension too. “The oppression of the Welsh language over the past 200 years was so aggressive,” ...
