Natalie Merchant performs at Cyndi Lauper's 8th Annual "Home for the Holidays" benefit concert in New York on Dec. 8, 2018. Merchant's latest album, "Keep Your Courage," releases on Friday. The singer-songwriter had major spine surgery just four days before lockdown, with three bones removed from her neck and an incision made over her vocal cords. She lost her voice and suffered nerve damage in her right hand.
"It wasn't until I wrote the liner notes that I realized how connected all the songs were," she says from her home in New York's Hudson Valley. "This is kind of a de facto concept record." "It was kind of like our voices met and said, `Hey, I know you! We're friends.' And then our relationship followed," Koomson-Davis says, laughing. "Our voices kind of introduced us to each other."
"I think women need a suit of armour these days, as we always have. We keep thinking that we're moving toward a more just liberal society where women can feel safe, and yet sexual violence against especially young women is higher than it's been in decades."
