Canadian singer-songwriter Andrea Ramolo is releasing a new album called HOMAGE, dedicated to iconic Canadian songwriter, Mr. Leonard Cohen. It includes her own renditions of 10 Cohen songs, from the classics to more contemporary choices. The record is produced by Michael Timmins of the Cowboy Junkies, who Andrea worked with on her last release, NUDA. “I have been gently colliding with the spirit of Cohen for a while. I fell in love with his prose and poetry during my early years in university. I had never connected with anything so raw and prophetic before and I always loved the way he strung together simple words that would explode into the most lush and rich imagery and profound meaning when placed alongside one another. Years later, I was given the opportunity to join Leonard’s son Adam Cohen onstage with my partner in Scarlett Jane to sing backup vocals for his show at Place des Arts in Montreal along with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. We moved into Leonard’s Montreal home for the week to rehearse the show and my intrigue and passion for his work and life continued to grow. A few weeks after he sadly passed away, I was playing a show in Montreal at the Corona Theatre to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Last Waltz, and myself and Gavin Gardner from the Wooden Sky whipped together a duet version of ‘Hey That’s No Way To Say Goodbye’ to end the night. From that moment forward, I took that beautiful song with me wherever I went, and having recently suffered my own hard goodbye, the song means more to me now than ever. The hardest goodbyes are often saved for those who have had a profound effect on us. This album is a love project to honour Leonard, his poetry and song, and the ways his music has weaved through and impacted my own life, my own stories, and my own goodbyes.”
