Customer Reviews
A thing of beauty
It saddens me that some people completely missed the incredible uniqueness of this masterpiece. Her renditions are completely spot on. And although I'm a huge Sinatra fan (I have his complete catalogue) I find her versions even more heartfelt and beautiful than those by Ella Fitzgerald, Sinatra and their likes. Her singing is both fragile, intimate and at times even humorous. The blend of her unique phrasing and the lush arrangements by Phil Ramone is intriguing and thrilling - a feast for the ears. I find that this is her best vocal effort so far. On the strengh of this album alone she should be viewed as one of the very best female vocalists - if not the best - of the 20th century.
An interesting album
We encounter an interesting departure by Sinéad in this album, being covers of some familiar and not so familiar old standards. The whole album is accompanied by a lush and well produced big band sound, and the recording offers great dynamics and high quality. However, these songs, plus the big band treatment, tend to make Sinéad's voice sound rather weak, and unfortunately the voice doesn't totally go with the songs. Don't get me wrong, it's a great album, and it's very interesting to hear her address a new area, but I really don't think she does herself or her voice any favours. Best tracks: Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered and Love Letters. Worst: Don't Cry for Me Argentina, as it's a virtually unchanged copy of Julie Covington's treatment thereof, but less good. Notwithstanding my negativity I'm giving the album 4 stars, partly because it's Sinéad, and partly because it does actually please me very much when I passively, not actively, listen to it.
Great album
An album of covers. This music is of a high quality - it will last. It is a mellow album mind, so be warned.
