Isobel Campbell
‘Toi’ by Isobel Campbell is the French version of ‘You’, from her latest album (released last June). Isobel writes on her Instagram: ‘I finished writing this song on 22/02/22. The day of Mark Lanegan, my singing partner’s, untimely passing. I’d been listening to ‘Anthem’ by Leonard Cohen on repeat, it was the strangest of days. Over the years we’d bonded so much over the work of Leonard Cohen. I still cry when I hear ‘Anthem’ even now. To have written ‘Toi’ on this date is significant. It’s a mystical, sorrowful song, befitting such a day.’
‘Maintenant ou Jamais’, released earlier, is the French version of her song’Do or Die’.
