Title: An album to be savored.
Review: Have you ever bitten into a piece of high-quality chocolate and wondered "What WAS all that other stuff I had before? Now THIS is CHOCOLATE."Lizz Wright. WONDERFUL voice. Unlike a lot of young R&B; and Jazz singers, she doesn't let "over-ornamentation" tyrannize the beauty of the song. She *conveys* the song...beautifully, subtly, truthfully. This is the kind of singer a songwriter wants to find. This is the real thing. This IS CHOCOLATE.Dreaming Wide Awakestarts with a version of "A Taste of Honey" - in 4/4 time. Lizz's voice is subtle but so, so rich. I've heard "A Taste of Honey" all my life. But now, I've HEARD it. I never realized what a beautiful story it is.And so it goes with each track in this collection. Each song, old or new, a revelation. Each a bite, something new and fresh. An album to be savored.Yum.
