I came embarrassingly late to the Cat Power party. And it wasn’t even her old material, but 2012 album Sun, which my freshman college roommate put on after I came back from my first trip to New York. This reminded me of you, she told me as she pressed play on “Manhattan,” Chan Marshall’s ode to perhaps the most famous borough. It’s a lovely, soft, piano-driven number that twinkles blue and nostalgic. Her most recent release—2018’s Wanderer—is stripped down and centers Marshall’s textured, aching voice that conveys so much emotion. New York–based singer-songwriter Zsela, who has a similarly sorrowful voice, opens.
