No news is forthcoming about the next Weyes Blood album. Fans have waited since 2022, when Natalie Mering gave us And In The Darkness Hearts Aglow. These days, she shares occasional tracks instead of full projects. Her latest release proves these scattered songs can be absolutely fantastic.
Weyes Blood just covered a classic Neil Diamond tune called Shilo. Diamond first put this song on his 1972 album Hot August Night. Many Diamond fans love this emotional orchestral pop song even though radio stations never played it much back then. Mering recorded her version for the Hulu show Good American Family about Natalia Grace—a story with major surprises if you plan to watch it.
Her take keeps what makes the original great but removes extra dramatic elements. The catchy parts and string arrangements stay intact throughout the song. The final result sounds incredibly beautiful. The source article has links to both the Weyes Blood version and Neil Diamond's original.
