Remembering Glen Hansard, plus Slayyter, King Princess covers Neil Young, more

We open this week’s show by reflecting on the loss of Glen Hansard, an artist who was critical to shaping the sound and spirit of All Songs Considered in its earliest days. We then share some of our favorite new tracks of the week, including a King Princess cover of Neil Young’s “Helpless,” cheeky pop from Coco & Clair Clair, a stunning ambient track from Adam Wiltzie and the late composer Jóhann Jóhannsson and more.NPR Music’s Dora Levite joins host Robin Hilton.Support the show with a review on Apple or Spotify wherever you listen to podcasts. Questions, comments, suggestions or feedback of any kind always welcome: allsongs@npr.orgFeatured artists and songs:(00:00) Intro and remembering Glen Hansard(03:24) Coco & Clair Clair: “Coldplay”(08:34) Claudia Isaki: “Origami”(15:30) Slayyyter: “brand new chanel$”(23:17) King Princess: “Helpless”(31:01) Dawuna: “I am a woman too...”(36:50) Adam Wiltzie & Jóhann Jóhannsson: “White Gloves & Turtlenecks”See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
