The legendary country music star, Dolly Parton, graced a press conference in London to discuss her highly anticipated new album, Rockstar. This groundbreaking record marks Parton’s venture into the world of rock and roll, featuring exciting collaborations with renowned artists such as Lizzo, Sir Paul McCartney, and Sir Elton John.
During the conference, one intriguing question arose – the prospect of Parton existing in an artificial form in the future. In response, the ever-wise singer-songwriter shared, “I believe I have already left a remarkable legacy with my body of work. However, I am cautious about fully embracing high-tech innovations that may separate me from my very essence. While some of this technology may keep me connected to this earth, I must carefully consider how much I am willing to adopt.”
The concept of virtual performances has been increasingly explored in the music industry. ABBA, for instance, unveiled a specially designed stadium in London last year, where their younger digital counterparts delivered captivating live performances of their greatest hits. Mick Jagger, lead singer of The Rolling Stones, praised this virtual concert technology as a breakthrough that allows bands to preserve their legacies.
In a lighthearted moment, Parton playfully admitted that her intelligence and persona were partly “artificial.” This playful remark subtly alluded to her history of undergoing cosmetic surgery, an open secret she has shared in the past. She amusingly expressed her desire to have Sir Mick Jagger on her new album, as her husband, Carl Dean, holds a fondness for him. Although Mick chose a different path, Parton happily collaborated with P!nk and Brandi Carlile on the track “Satisfaction.”
Parton’s passion for pleasing her husband shone through during the creation of Rockstar. She carefully selected songs he adored and cherished, and together, they listened to the entire album. His positive feedback meant the world to her, as he praised it as if someone else had declared it the best thing they had ever heard. Parton’s aim was to please Carl above all else.
To clarify any misconceptions, Parton addressed whether her new album was solely inspired by her 2022 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Initially hesitant about accepting the honor, she eventually resolved to “live up to the honor” and embraced a more rock-focused approach to her music. Rockstar consists of nine original songs alongside 21 beloved rock anthems, catering to the diverse tastes of her dedicated fanbase.
Fans eagerly await the release of Rockstar on November 17, 2023. Parton’s foray into the realm of rock and roll is set to captivate audiences worldwide, solidifying her status as an icon with an ever-growing musical legacy.
