The new album by Meshell Ndegeocello, Ventriloquism, is to be released on 18th March, and it includes a cover version of Mark's song Private Dancer, which he gave to Tina Turner.

I have this track now. It certainly is different to Tina Turner, it is a lot slower, the vocals are almost spoken, with acoustic guitar accompaniment, it is sung very well though, it has a dark and moody atmosphere. There are some brief electric guitar fills too, which is nice, and doesn't detract. The ending of the track has a cool musical build up, with guitars. All in all, a good and different cover of a Mark Knopfler song.
