Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
When I Fall In Love, the latest album from English soprano and media personality Lesley Garrett, is being touted as something of a personal journey. Though she has covered pop songs in the past, this is her first collection of love songs and, as such, is a move into fairly new territory. As she works her way through the hand picked selection of evergreen gems that make up When I Fall In Love, it becomes quickly apparent that this is an album of mixed results. Garrett's smoothly operatic versions of the title track, "The Way We Were," and Shirley Bassey's "He Was Beautiful" give the album an airbrushed, superficial feel that continues through upbeat fare such as her version of Edith Piaf's "Non Je Ne Regrette Rien." As the album wears on it becomes obvious that it lacks the potency of previous projects like Tranquility or Travelling Light. Her take on usually vibrant songs like "Come What May" (alongside Michael Ball) and Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World" come across as surprisingly lackluster, and though Garrett is undoubtedly more than capable of holding her own here, she fails to present any definitive or even challenging versions. Ultimately When I Fall In Love makes for disappointingly mediocre listening. --Danny McKenna
