Title: Major disappointment from Krall
Review: I bought this CD sight unseen (or unheard) because I loved her previous two disks (would have given them 5 stars). What a disappointment! I could probably live with the cloying strings in the background if Krall's performance was up to her previous ones, but she seems completely detached from the songs she's singing. There's no emotional connection, no snap, it's like she's sleepwalking though the performance. These are songs that tell a story, but Krall is singing words like they have no meaning. Let's face it, Krall doesn't have a great voice, she depends on her wit, and phrasing to connect with the song. They're absent here, and what's left isn't enough to justify buying this CD.
Is the review positive or negative?
