5.0 out of 5 stars a talent as imaginative, poetic, sophisticated as Carla, September 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Be Cool Be Kind (Audio CD)

"Seven years between CDs is too long for a talent as imaginative,
as poetic and as sophisticated as Carla Helmbrecht's. She's hip
without being frenetic, laid-back without sounding haphazard and, best of all, the lady swings without sweating.
Helmbrecht has a benignly swinging voice, small of range but big of sentiment. She knows how to tell and sell a story, her voice
ranging from whimsy to irony. With her clarity, she's the lyric writer's best friend. Good thing: She writes excellent words herself that hold up well in competition with the Bergmans, Betty Comden, Yip Harbug and Ray Noble. Her writing is like her singing: cool and kind."

This music sets a very strong mood in me. I listen to it at work. Very relaxing. I find it is one heck of a "Dr. Feelgood shot." I give Carla my best regards and hope she has a long successful career.

Thanks, Carla

One of the best CD's I've purchased this year. "The Party's Over" is upbeat, end of an affair of a strong woman. "How I Remember You," another cut that reminds us to remember the good part of the relationship. I guess one could say this CD takes us from the beginning to the end of an affair in a healthy way.
