Linda Perry Performs a Rare, Riveting Set Following Tribeca Premiere of Emotionally Raw New Documentary

'Linda Perry: Let It Die Here' documentary premieres at Tribeca, followed by a rare live performance by the singer-songwriter.

The new material demonstrates her uncanny songcraft and distinctive creative voice (abetted by her demanding work ethic) hasn’t diminished one iota since she blew up on the national stage more than 30 years ago and then promptly backed out of the spotlight. Marvelous new song “Feathers” is a heady blend of soul, alt-rock and Americana, “Let It Die Here” is worthy of Oscar consideration and “Beautiful” (made famous by Aguilera) was a treat to hear sung by the woman who wrote it. While Perry keeps plenty busy — she worked on projects from Ringo Starr (Crooked Boy) and Kate Hudson( Glorious) this year already — the documentary and her live set makes one hope that the singer-songwriter gives equal footing to both of those nouns in the near future.
