JAKARTA - Steven Wilson has released a new video featuring him performing Taylor Swift's The Last Great American Dynasty as part of the album session The Future Bites. The song is taken from Swift's Folklore album, one of two albums she will release in 2020.

"The traits of my last TFB (The Future Bites) session in 2020 were something a little different," said Wilson, quoted from Loudersound, Tuesday, January 5.

"To mark the end of the year I want to make a cover of someone else's song from 2020 instead of one of my (songs), and I've chosen one of Taylor Swift's fantastic Folklore albums. It's a song that tells a story with brilliant lyrics, and lyrics. quite a lot. In fact it's probably the most words I've sung in three and a half minutes, which is why you'll see me reading it from a cheat sheet! "

The progressive rock band frontman Porcupine Tree continued, his version of The Last Great American Dynasty is quite constant. But in the process of conceptualizing it, the song was quickly learned and recorded.

"Plus the way he (Swift) does it sounds really good. Happy New Year to all of you, and good luck for the beautiful year 2021," continued Wilson.

Wilson's intimate performance is the fourth in the series, which also includes renditions of King Ghost, Collapse The Light Into Earth (Porcupine Tree), Significant Other (originally from Wilson's solo debut, Insurgentes), 12 Things I Forgot (with Gary Kemp) and Drown With Me.

Meanwhile, Wilson will release his sixth studio album, The Future Bites, on January 29th.
