Kesha shares cover of T.Rex’s ‘Children of the Revolution’

Legendary late British musician and glam-rock pioneer Marc Bolan is set to be inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame this year, and to celebrate his legacy, loads of stars have come together for a brand new tribute album, ‘AngelHeaded Hipster: The Songs Of Marc Bolan and T.Rex’.

With Nick Cave kicking things off by revealing his cover of ‘Cosmic Dancer’ back in April followed by Devendra Banhart’s ‘Scenescof’ reworking, now Kesha is sharing the video for her cover of ‘Children of the Revolution’.

“Through a stroke of luck, I met the incredibly talented and kind, Hal Willner,” says Kesha, “We were in the same studio and he said he liked my red nudie suit, and then when he mentioned that he was working on a project that involved honouring Marc Bolan, I excitedly started rambling about how much T. Rex has influenced my music and my style. Right there we decided to record our own incarnation of ‘Children of the Revolution’, a motherfucker of a song! I’m excited for the world to finally hear it! This project was so exciting and important to the late great Hal, and I’m humbled to be a part of this project honouring one of the most magical artists of the 20th century.”

With the record set for release on 4th September, check out Kesha’s cover and the full track list below.
