According to the New York Times, Tony-winning actress Lena Hall will soon begin a new project call "Obsessed," where she will release a new EP album on the first Friday of every month, as well as a music video every week.

The project begins on January 5 with songs from Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which Hall starred in on Broadway in 2014, a role for which she won the Tony Award for best featured actress in a musical. On Friday, Hall will also release two music videos.

A tentative schedule reveals upcoming tributes to everyone from Peter Gabriel and Elton John to Beck and Pink. Also included are Nirvana, Jack White, Radiohead, The Cranberries, Muse, David Bowie, and Chris Cornell.
