Starbucks is getting “eclectic” in a collaboration with California radio station KCRW for “Sounds Eclectic: The Covers Project.” The 15-track compilation features performances from R.E.M., Robert Plant, k.d. lang and Damien Rice and will be sold exclusively at select Starbucks locations starting March 13.
