Margo Price performed “Hey Child” for The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’s #PlayAtHome series; she’s joined by vocalist Adia Victoria, Allison Russell, Kam Franklin, and Kyshona Armstrong. The track appears on Price’s most recent studio album That’s How Rumors Get Started. Check out the performance below.
Additionally, Price has announced a new live EP. Live From the Other Side arrives July 16 via Loma Vista. The live audiovisual EP includes “Hey Child,” a cover of the Beatles’ “Help!” (with Victoria, Russell, Franklin, and Armstrong), and a solo arrangement of “That’s How Rumors Get Started.”
“So much has happened since I released That’s How Rumors Get Started into the world in 2020,” Price said in a press release. She continued:
I hope it kept you warm during those cold, lonely nights. Some things changed for the better, some for the worse. I know I am stronger and wiser than before but there is also an innocence lost, a naivety that we will never have back. When I think of the carefree moments of the old days, I wish I had enjoyed it more but ignorance is bliss, isn’t it?!
I would also like to dedicate this EP to a hero of all of ours—Ms. Tina Turner. Her work has had such a massive influence on me ever since I heard her story and watched her movie What’s Love Got to Do With It when I was just 10 years old. Her strength, talent and truth have inspired me endlessly and I loved performing her interpretation of “Help!” by the Beatles. I believe in the power to manifest your own destiny and I offer Tina’s Buddhist mantra to anyone who may need it: “Namu Myoho Renge Kyo” means “I honor the Universal Mystical Law of Cause and Effect.” Take it with you wherever you go and hope to see you down the highway.
