 (2 Customer Reviews)
R&B singer-songwriter Amel Larrieux mixes it up on her 2007 release LOVELY STANDARDS. As the title suggests, this is a set of standards that are, in fact, incredibly lovely. Larrieux's hushed, breathy voice gives the performances a thrilling intimacy, an approach perfectly suited to the spare, tasteful, small-combo arrangements. The selections, which include songs by Duke Ellington, Rodgers and Hammerstein, and other heavyweight tunes smiths, shine like brilliant gems. The overall effect is an elegant and beautiful album that sounds--save its pristine, contemporary production--like it might have been released in the era of Billie Holiday or Sarah Vaughan.

Lovely Standards album
$12.95  (MP3 Available for Download)
Songwriter-vocalist Amel Larrieux's style is as multihued as the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York in which she was raised. Knocking around in the mix are the elasticity and heartbreak of Billie Holiday's jazz, the deep soul of post-Motown R&B circa the Isley Brothers, the defiance of country rockers like Bonnie Raitt, and the modern urban-pop know-how of Alicia Keys. Amel first garnered attention as the singing half of critically acclaimed jazz-tinged R&B duo Groove Theory, and the music continues that line on much of her second album, BRAVEBIRD, particularly on funky message-songs such as "Giving Something Up" and the African-scat/hip-hop hybrid "Congo."
Throughout the satisfying album, she uses her immense talents to their utmost over an assortment of sultry tunes, each born out of the love between herself and her husband and co-writer, Laru. This bond lends an aura of impenetrable sincerity to compositions ...
