Fast forward 79 days and the whole album was released. This was her first album not under Matador, her long-time label. This time around, the album was released through Domino Recordings. Chan\u2019s label wasn\u2019t the only big change in her life since her last release, \u201cSun,\u201d six years prior. Chan turned 46 and had a baby boy (pictured on the album cover), and has matured in her artistry.<\/p>\n<p>Chan\u2019s mysterious vocal qualities sound fragile and raw, not to be confused with uncertainty or doubt. Cat Power\u2019s latest release is a hard-hitting and powerful response to the often overlooked struggles of being a veteran in indie music. Chan felt trapped by Matador, the pressure to write hits, and gender stereotypes.<\/p>\n<p>Lana Del Rey is featured on \u201cWoman,\u201d one of the record\u2019s singles that shows her confidence as well as her desires. She brings a soft spoken power to her work that is so self-assured it doesn\u2019t need to be forceful. Chan also covers Rihanna\u2019s 2013 hit \u201cStay.\u201d She plays with melodies and pauses in all the write places and gives these familiar lyrics completely new meaning.<\/p>\n<p>Wanderer brings all that you love from Cat Power in a simpler form. There is a hazy calm in this self-made record that should not be underestimated. If you want to experience Chan\u2019s lyrical intimacy in person, she began her worldwide tour in September. This is about finding yourself in a world that is anything but stagnant, so if you\u2019re feeling lost get ready to lose yourself in 38 minutes of Chan\u2019s airy vocals.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Angel Olsen, Feist, Waxahatchee<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: Wanderer, Woman, You Get, Stay<br \/>\nDo Not Play: None<br \/>\nWritten by Miranda Roberts on 10\/21\/2018 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is about finding yourself in a world that is anything but stagnant, so if you\u2019re feeling lost get ready to lose yourself in Wanderer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4332,"featured_media":69326,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[100,7260,8206],"class_list":["post-69325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rock-rotation","tag-cat-power","tag-miranda-roberts","tag-wanderer"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cat-power-wanderer_opt.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4332"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69325\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
