Lena Hall explores the catalog of rock star and songwriter Peter Gabriel with her new EP, Obsessed: Peter Gabriel. The album is the second in Hall's Obsessed series, which celebrates her favorite bands and musicians with a monthly EP through the end of 2018. Obsessed: Peter Gabriel follows January's tribute to Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which earned Hall a Tony in 2014.
Obsessed: Peter Gabriel features four tracks that reinvent songs written by the six-time Grammy Award winner: "Sledgehammer," "In Your Eyes," "Come Talk to Me," and "Lay Your Hands On Me."
Every track recorded for the Obsessed series has also been filmed as a music video, which will roll out throughout the month. Watch the music video for "Come Talk to Me" above.
Hall will celebrate the EP's release with a performance at Rockwood Music Hall February 26 at 8:30 PM.
