🎤 Eulogy to Christa: A Tribute to the Music and Mystique of Nico, features songs about the one-time Velvet Underground singer's life, lovers, and traumas.|✍️ Monica Kendrick👇
Chicago singer-songwriter Chris Connelly regularly releases an album of new material on his November birthday. For his latest record,, he hit that annual deadline with the digital version on Bandcamp, but the physical edition didn’t ship till early December. Connelly originally planned the project to be a covers album of songs by Nico, the German model, singer, and composer who’s best known, albeit unjustly, for her brief stint fronting the Velvet Underground in 1966 and ’67.
Connelly’s greatest strength here lies in how he handles the traumas that informed Nico’s life. “I Cannot Care for You” is about parental absence, including the death of her father, the illness of her mother, and her own yearslong struggle to play a role in raising her son, Ari, who was never acknowledged by his father, French actor Alain Delon .
Connelly’s stylistic shifts between episodes and personae are masterful, but what really makes this album outstanding is the kindness, even tenderness, that he shows his subject. The album’s compassion comes through especially strongly when it touches on her later career and the life she’d tried to build in Brixton and Manchester before her untimely 1988 death due to a brain hemorrhage caused by a cycling accident.
