I have all of her recordings and looked forward to this one being released. This is softer, more meloncholy, and romantic Diana. If you expect the typically fast-paced jazz, with a lot of bass interludes setting a pace, it is not here. It reminds me of the Sinatra recording, "Only for the Lonely," which has remained a popular choice for romantic evenings for decades. Reviews of this cd, that I have read, are mixed, some feeling disapointment. I find the CD to be a welcome addition to her previous recorded efforts and, because it is soft and warm, I play it a lot more as pleasant background music on social occasions. Retired General.
Maybe I'm missing something, but this album is really bad. I was attracted to the description of the album as kind of mellow and jazzy. The music fit the description, but Krall's singing has no range and no continuity of lyrics. Her voice just is not cut out for these types of songs. I found myself skipping to the next song again and again hoping to find one worth listening to. Never found one and ditched the album around song nine. I hoped to find a torch singer and instead got burnt.
Very relaxed CD. Good musicianship, nice voice, and good production values but uninspired performance. Would be most at home played over elevator speakers.
