Marcia Hines, an Australian music icon, will join forces with a cultural icon this weekend when she guest programs rage. You can see her on the ABC this Saturday at 10:30 am and again at 11:58 pm.
Hines promises a diverse exploration of music for her guest programming slot, including music videos by Sting, Aerosmith, Daryl Braithwaite, Beyoncé, D’Angelo and many more. Her guest programming episode also marks rage’s first episode of Aus Music Month.
“It is truly a blessing for us to bring her boundless energy and passion to the rage couch (throne*, because Marcia is the Queen of Pop),” a statement from the rage Facebook page reads. “Expect a rollercoaster ride through rhythms of pop, funk, and a smidge of Aussie rock, as she shares the songs that have inspired and shaped her path. With everything from Daryl Braithwaite, to Beyoncé to D’Angelo, this is one playlist that truly reflects the life and times of its remarkable curator.”
Her episode plays the night after her new album, The Gospel According To Marcia, arrives on streaming services, digital and physical formats.
The Gospel According To Marcia features classic soul songs, including Amazing Grace, a cover of Bill Withers’ Lean On Me, Paul Simon’s Loves Me Like A Rock, and more. You can pre-order the album here ahead of its release tomorrow.
“This album represents a coming home for me,” Hines commented in a press release. “My childhood life in Boston accompanying my godmother, Flo, to church on Sunday mornings gave me joy and happiness. That same joy and happiness surrounds every song, old and new, that I've chosen for this album, and I am so proud to introduce it to you!”
