Fade Into You

A dazzling cover (and accompanying performance video) of one of the most achingly romantic songs of the 90s, Mazzy Star’s “Fade into You.” While the track has been covered many times since its initial release in 1993, it should come as no surprise that Valerie pulls in her exquisitely tender balance of modern and traditional sonic influences to create something between otherworldly and positively human.

The emotional honesty and deeply meditative spirit that the Memphis-born artist consistently delivers in all her original work is certainly not lost in this cover. Valerie takes the immediacy that Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star’s lead singer) originally brought to the track and molds it into something entirely her own.
