New York Post

sings like a hummingbird and writes lyrics that sonnets would envy

An immensely likeable debut album...as beguiling as it is accessible

Eliza Doolittle certainly is one Fair Lady. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

Product Description

U.S. pressing of the debut album from the British singer/songwriter. Informed by the stresses of modern city life, teenage aggro, classic Pop, old Soul and the appeal of simple, strong melodies built from clanking percussion and jazzy licks, Eliza's eponymous debut album is bursting at the seams with life and enthusiasm and vigor: just like its creator. On her debut album, Eliza marries breezily beautiful melodies and witty, erudite lyrics with a delightfully off-kilter twist and a knack for a killer hook. The album has been a run away success in the UK where it spent nine weeks in the Top 10, peaking at #3 and already achieving Platinum status. The album has been propelled by 'Pack Up', which spent numerous weeks in the Top 10, peaking at #5 and achieving Gold status. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

Eliza Doolittle's debut CD completely changed my opinion of the Jazz-Pop genre, which before I hardly knew existed. Armed with clever lyrics and a good set of pipes, Eliza's music career has definitely burst to life. The day after her album came out and after I listened to some song samples, I searched to find a site where I could buy her self-titled CD on the Internet--I live in the United States.

I cannot evaluate this CD as an addition to Pop-Jazz or Jazz-Pop, because I am entirely ignorant in the subject matter. What I do know, however, is that this CD is extremely well-produced and worth the import price! I can only hope Eliza's fame allows her to breach the US charts, inviting her onto our shores for a successful tour! With such fresh, lively music, an Eliza Doolittle show would definitely be stunning.

Get a hold of her CD, this girl's got it all.

It's one of those fantastic albums that is actually an album. You can put it on and just let it play from start to finish. Every song has something special and just hooks you. The music moves with an old school intensity and her voice just powers in the mix in all the right ways.

If you're on the fence, fall off and buy it, it's fantastic!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT British pop record...NOT JAZZ AT ALL!!! ;), October 1, 2010

Larry Davis "powerpoplarry" (NYC/Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eliza Doolittle (Audio CD)

More like an English Feist or Nellie McKay, a tad Lily Allen (the artwork is similar to Lily's debut a sign to what's inside), also in the same ballfield as Paloma Faith, Kate Nash, Ellie Goulding, Florence & The Machine & Marina & The Diamonds.

NOT pop-JAZZ??!! Like HUH??? First I read the reviews then got the album and pictured Norah Jones...but nope, got a great sophisticated British girlpop record and I am very happy...looking forward to US gigs as the album is coming here in early 2011.
