Diana Krall, Wallflower

Has anyone heard this new recording? I picked up the CD today and just got through listing to it. I'm normally not a fan of covers of hits but, she and her team knocked this one out of the park for me. You're not going to hear her killer piano chops, or bass, drums, guitar or whatever else instruments chops from the musician.. this album is more about the songs. The recording is really good, too.. on my system, anyway. Looking forward to hearing some thoughts and comments on this recording. Opinions from Negative Nancy's and Debbie downers are always entertaining, too. It's all subjective.

Every artist has their nitch that they fall into. I like and respect Diana Krall for not trying to please everyone by changing her style every five minutes. She isn't a pop or R&B, or country and western singer. She is what she is and stays within her vocal range.

Kudos to her for that.

It is easy to say that her songs sound the same. but I find that that really isn't true. If you leave and come back to her, you will find her music is quite nice all over again.

You know what you are getting with her. Good vocals, good background music. Good arrangements.

Same can be said for many others. Cassandra Wilson, Jacintha, etc.

If she isn't your cup of tea, that is well and good, but don't disparage her for her style and consistency.

enjoy

I liked her in the beginning (still like the legs), but agree, all the same and all a blur. I dont see her offering anything different. Check out Gaby Moreno. Now, thats different.
