A new rendition of Dolly Parton's classic song 'Jolene' featuring Welsh lyrics will be released on October 9. The recording, a collaboration with Welsh singer Bronwen Lewis and Parton's niece Jada Star, was completed before Parton's passing on August 25. This marks the second posthumous release for the artist, who had a connection to Welsh heritage.
The project began when Lewis's Welsh version of 'Jolene' went viral, leading to a collaboration with Star and Parton. Despite the emotional weight of Parton's death, both Star and Lewis expressed pride in completing the song, highlighting its significance in celebrating Parton's Welsh roots and musical legacy.
