"Deborah Lippmann swings on Nightingale" --Vanity Fair, Lisa Robinson

About the Artist

Deborah Lippmann’s story is sprinkled with a lot of famous names – there’s a quote from Cher on the back cover of her debut CD, nightingale ("Deborah Lippmann is a special voice with music in her soul," it says), and the long list of people that Deborah thanks in the CD’s liner notes include Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Kelly Ripa, Martha Stewart, and Sarah Jessica Parker. But it’s the famous name Renee Zellweger that plays a considerable role in Deborah’s decision to take some time out from her very successful career as a celebrity manicurist and the Founder/CEO of the nail product line, lippmann collection in order to focus on her career as a vocalist.

"I was talking to Renee about lippmann collection one day and how it was growing," Deborah remembers. "Renee said ‘Isn’t it amazing how far out of our way we will go not to do what we’re meant to be doing?’ That gave me chills – and then it inspired me." After all, for all of Deborah’s tremendous success as a manicurist and entrepreneur, it’s singing that’s her passion. Nail care was always her day gig. True – she landed at the absolute top of her field, but she chose that field to allow her to support her dream of singing.

With the release of nightingale, Deborah’s come one step closer to fulfilling her dream. In listening to the CD, a stunning collection of 13 songs, it becomes immediately clear that Deborah’s talents extend beyond her exquisite vocals – she’s a powerful stylist and interpreter, conveying potent emotions. That she delivers such emotional resonance isn’t surprising, though: communication is at the core of Deborah’s craft. "I was very sensitive as a child and I started singing when I was quite young." Deborah says. "At first I was probably just parroting, but singing ultimately became a way for me to express myself." Deborah’s father died when she was young; music became her primary emotional outlet. "I’ve always worn my heart on my sleeve, and after my father died I got very closely in touch with my feelings."

nightingale opens with the Cole Porter classic, "Too Darn Hot." – a natural choice for Deborah, who grew up in the desert heat of Scottsdale, Arizona. "Each song on the disc has a special meaning for me," Deborah says. "Each song touches me in a significant way. I believe that most of us share universal themes in our lives, so I have to believe that these songs affect other people in the same ways they affect me." The CD’s highlights include "Evil Ways," which features the acclaimed dancer Savion Glover, whose spectacular tap dancing is recorded as a percussive instrument, the beautiful "Best of Friends" and the lovely "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square."

nightingale is available nationwide at Nordstrom, Sephora and at deborahlippmann.com as well as other retail outlets.

This review is from: Nightingale (Audio CD)

The first time I worked with Deborah was on a Children project..Adventures of Donkey Ollie from Boat Angel Family Film now broadcast worldwide on over 1000 channels weekly Deborah's voice has become somewhat of a trademark in the world of children's animation. The song she was featured on "Spinning Around and Around." was picked by the series director as the opening song for each of the thirteen episodes. I was delighted to hear that she had continued with her jazz recording as it had been years since I had attended one of her magical live shows. This product does not disappoint.The CD features a great selection of songs, with tasty arrangements and a vocalist with a heart full of love. This is a must listen. Thanks Deborah..by the way. My girls love your nail polish.
