Fiona Apple and the Bolt Cutters share charity cover of “Revolution”
The recording will feature on Right Now, a protest-song compilation whose profits will benefit Doctors Without Borders.
Fiona Apple and the Bolt Cutters have recorded a version of “Revolution” for a charity compilation supporting Doctors Without Borders. The track reinterprets the protest song released by Mother Earth in 1968.
An announcement posted to Zelda Hallman’s Instagram account said the recording will appear on Right Now, an album of protest songs produced by Dougie Bowne. All profits from the album will go to the medical organization, according to the announcement. The cover is currently available only through Hallman’s Instagram.
The Bolt Cutters comprise Apple, Davíd Garza, Sebastian Steinberg and Amy Aileen Wood. The musicians recorded separately across Los Angeles, Houston and the East Coast, with Wood assembling their contributions. The group produced the track.
Apple’s other recent work includes a song for the television series Lucky and a co-writing credit on a track for Cara Delevingne’s debut album. In a July video update to fans, Apple said world events were making songwriting difficult.
