4.0 out of 5 stars An album for your lazy Sunday afternoon, September 19, 2001

By

Do you know those lazy afternoons when everything you're in mood for is install yourself comfortably in your sofa with a full tea pot, a good book and your purring cat on your lap? This is the perfect album to fit that mood. The bossa nova/ jazz mix is relaxing and keeps a light smile on your lips. It is also a nice album to play when having dinner for two, or to keep your temper and put up with the time you spend stuck in the traffic.

I usually prefer female voices a little deeper and stronger, but Lisa Ekdahl one fits those songs perfectly. It slips on you like a fragile bird feather and adds to the cozy atmosphere of the album. Whatever the weather might be, it will build a warm intimate mood like candlelight do. Her little accent, strange at first, is part of the charm of her voice and interpretation. The general impression of comfort is reinforced by the sweet poetry of the lyrics.

The comparison to Bebel Gilberto is rather appropriate.

I am not listening to Jazz or Bossa Nova and I never listened to any recording of this artist before, but this album pleasantly surprised me.

5.0 out of 5 stars the girl from Stockholm, August 31, 2001

By 

[e-mail] (Paris, FRANCE) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sings Salvadore Poe (Audio CD)

My review is going to be very short: this album is just excellent, even if some critics have said that there is nothing new, and Lisa Ekdahl sings very very loud, like a child. Do we always have to sing like Nina Simone, Diana Krall, to get some respect of the "critics"?
Just one point, please Lisa Ekdahl, don't sing in french: I've listen the french version of "Daybreak", it's just horrible!!! In the name of jazz, don't do it again, do your stuff, you are great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very very smooth, October 1, 2002

Best CD I ever heard. I know I am only 25 years old... but it is really terrific.
