Marika Hackman recruits Laura Marling to feature on new version of ‘Skin’

Marika Hackman and Laura Marling have teamed up to re-imagine ‘Skin’ - a track that featured on the former’s 2015 debut, ‘We Slept At Last’ - and the results are, unsurprisingly, stunning. 

Produced by Marika herself, the duet was created as part of Abbey Road’s annual collaboration with Pitchfork London, and was part-recorded in the iconic studios. It’s the first release from the stalwart singer-songwriter since the arrival of her fourth LP, ‘Big Sigh’, at the beginning of last year; Laura, meanwhile, recently shared her mediations on motherhood and familial legacy in the form of beautiful eighth effort, ‘Patterns In Repeat’. 

Marking a decade since her debut in style, Marika is set to perform ‘We Slept At Last’ in full (alongside other tracks from across her discography) with full string arrangements at a sold-out show at London’s Union Chapel this Friday.
