2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing at best, June 13, 2007
By Thomas W. Altizer (Arlington, VA, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
After a couple of soulful and enjoyable albums, on this one Amel Larrieux sounds as if she's channeling Rickie Lee Jones. This music doesn't fit the delivery stylings found here. This is not a CD I'll listen to often. If this is a new path for this vocalist, she'll be traveling it with few companions, I predict.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not that great, to me, June 3, 2007
By Lhore Baby (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews
I LOVE AMEL. I have purchased all of her albums with no regret. However, I'm not too fond of this one. Don't get me wrong, I love the jazzy atmosphere of the album. But Amel shouldn't be soooo... "breathless!" (for lack of a better word). Some songs the music flows nicely, but the harmonies and scats (or whatever it is that she's attempting to do) just don't flow. It's a total mismatch, in my opinion. I've listened to this album 2 times and I'm a bit disappointed that it isn't the album that I had expected. It hasn't really "grabbed" me just yet. I'll continue to listen and might update my rating, but for now it remains. I'll give her an E for effort, though.

3.0 out of 5 stars missing something, June 15, 2007
Amel is a great vocalist and I have all of her albums going back to when she was with groove theory. Lovely standards is an attempt of amel to do a full jazz cd. The cd is ok at best. A lot of the tracks sound the same and I don't really care for the way she delivers the vocals on some songs. I gave the album three stars because amel has a beautiful voice, I just don't care for the way the lyrics are delivered. If it weren't for her melodic voice i would've rated the album lower. Younger than springtime is a good song that has some good vocals and actually the track sounds slightly different than the majority of the album. This album can be relaxing but is caught somewhere between candle lit dinner music and elevator music. My final thoughts are, if you missed this album it won't be a big loss.
