Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
In The Girl in the Other Room, singer and pianist Diana Krall changes direction by interpreting modern standards by Tom Waits, Mose Allison and Joni Mitchell, as well as compositions by her and her new husband, Elvis Costello. Krall's jazz piano credentials come through loud and clear on her Count Basie-styled version of Bonnie Raitt's "Love Me Like a Man", but it's the collaborations with her spouse that reveal untapped emotional nuances in her velvet voice; many are reminiscent of Bill Evans's moody, impressionistic pieces. The title track, as well as "Narrow Daylight", "Abandoned Masquerade", and "I'm Coming Through" deals with love and loss. "Departure Bay", a picturesque ode to her hometown of Nanaimo, BC, proves that this is the start of something big, and that two heads--and hearts--are better than one. --Eugene Holley, Jr, Amazon.com
CD Description
Seventh solo studio album from sultry Canadian jazz chanteuse, and her first to feature original material - she co-wrote half of the album's songs with husband Elvis Costello. A reaction against her typecasting as a "jazz singer", this also features covers of popular tunes by Joni Mitchell, Mose Allison and Tom Waits, recast in a dark, melancholy, musicallyarticulate style.
