Katrina Ford announces new album Winter Sun
The music world is buzzing, and as TV On The Radio’s Return To Cookie Mountain celebrates its 20th anniversary, a deeper appreciation for the collaborative tapestry of the artists comes into focus. Revisiting the celebrated album reveals the profound impact of the backing vocals, particularly those provided by Katrina Ford, a connection that stretches back to the very foundation of the project.
Ford’s involvement is not a recent addition; she was an associate from the beginning, lending a distinctive texture to the sound. This history connects her directly to a lineage of influential work, tracing back through iconic bands and pioneering producers.
Before her association with TVOTR, Ford was already deeply embedded in the musical landscape, having played a significant role in shaping some of the most memorable albums of the era. She is known for her work with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, notably producing the seminal album Fever To Tell.
Her creative journey also encompasses early, foundational work. Ford has contributed to the sound of the 2002 album Here Is Night, Brothers, Here The Birds Burn, which featured a production credit from Dave Sitek on the Love Life album.
This rich history demonstrates how musical influences ripple across generations, proving that talent and association are often intertwined threads in the fabric of great music.
The creative current continues to flow, demonstrated by Ford’s latest project. She recently announced plans for a new album titled To The Lighthouse, which includes the track “Winter Sun,” promising fresh sounds from one of the industry’s most distinctive voices.
