Title: Disappointed Love
Review: The first two albums by Diana Krall were off the charts. However, her latest album is a great disappointment. The arrangements are all strings, and little of Diana's wonderful piano skills. Also, she apparently has determined that 'talking or whispering the lyrics' is better than singing them. Not only does she not only not use her vocal skills, she has apparently decided not to play the piano as well. Someone should also tell Mr. DiPuma, her manager, who apparently selects her songs, to dump the strings, go back to the wonderful jazz sounds of her trio, and let her use the voice that made her an icon. I hope Ms. Krall doesn't follow the footsteps of Nat King Cole (her idol) who gave way to the money tree and abandoned his jazz roots to became a 'TV singer' . Finally, Diana's voice is sexy enough, she doesn't need to overdue it as she does in this album.
Is the review positive or negative?
