Being a nostalgia nut, I was delighted to hear a few tracks of this C.D. on Spotify. I think Twiggy is a talented performer! On this C.D. she has a similar plaintive voice to Ruth Etting; admirably suited to these classic songs. It was a pleasure and surprise to hear an additional chorus to 'Mad about the boy', certainly Coward did'nt write it! Good stuff.

Twiggy is among my favourite singers. She has always sung with warmth and feeling. She knows how to deliver a song and the tracks from the soundtrack "If Love Were All" are excellent! Twiggy and Harry Groener make a great team singing Noel Coward's beautiful songs. "Someday I'll Find You" is just beautiful. The speaking part by Harry Groener has been removed from the original soundtrack which narrates the story of Gertrude Lawrence and Noel Coward. This album is a real treat with 19 excellent songs from the 20s and 30s and Twiggy is absolutely wonderful. "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" is really a beautiful rendition and so is "If Love Were All". The first 6 songs were recorded especially for this album and they are all quite good in evoking the sound of the 1930s. "Don't Tell Him What Happened to Me" and "Painting the Clouds With Sunshine" are favourites from the new recordings. Track 19 truly reminds me of recordings of the 30s with the orchestra playing the song and the singer adding a brief but wonderful vocal. The song is "I'll String Along With You". Twiggy's vocal is perfect! She reminds me of The Boswell Sisters on this track. I do have the soundtrack to "If Love Were All" and her album, "London Pride" but knowing that there were new songs on this album, I had to have it. Twiggy can sing all types of styles of music from 80s dance music to country to such gems that are featured on this album. Twiggy is really a great singer and she knows how to interpret songs making them her own. Don't miss out on her latest, "Romantically Yours". Twiggy is really a great singer. This album is proof of that.
