Malene Music Review
Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)   MALENE, a pinnacle of her work. Just delicious.
I implied in my review of her earlier 2005 album, Date With A Dream, that this 2006 album, MALENE, is satisfyingly rich. This is the one to get, if you only get one. Her exquisite voice and sophisticated sense of phrasing with rock-carving voice of honey she steers into elated territory. For example, try out the first cut, ANOTHER DAY, the Branford Marsalis tune. But be warned! You will likely wear out your CD player on this cut alone. Damn! It's good.
SEA OF LIES; NOVEMBER CAME, WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT YOU, though are all hers and her writing group. One thinks that perhaps here on this CD are some of the new 'standards' that could be around for the historians.
Great band, that on this CD at least, never gets in her way, but unobtrusively keeps pushing her to new ground, and Malene's exceptional voice, at once naturally trained on the delivery and also on the soul carries these songs. I hope we hear lots more from her and her people.
