This new edition will feature reimagined versions of every song from the original album, including a cover of "Perfect Hand" by Power Snatch, a collaboration between Paramore's Hayley Williams and producer Daniel James.
Formation of Power Snatch
The cover of "Perfect Hand" is significant as it marks the inception of Power Snatch. Williams and James, both long-time fans of Amos, expressed their enthusiasm for reworking one of their favorite songs from This Is Lorelei.
