Paradise Is There (The New Tigerlily Recordings)

Two decades following her initial solo release, Natalie Merchant re-examined her previous material to observe how the music matured alongside her. These sparse interpretations highlight the foundation of her compositions by replacing polished studio sounds with a quiet, thoughtful environment.

Working with a limited group of musicians, this work records the perspective of an experienced performer reflecting on her earlier years. The outcome is a grounded folk-rock partner to her original work, acting as a bridge between two distinct eras of a long professional journey.
