Amazon Canada September 5, 2007
Canada certainly has produced a healthy collection of females singing loungey jazz covers in the last decade (Diana Krall may well be the matriarch, with Holly Cole and Sophie Milman following behind) so the question remains... how does Emilie-Claire Barlow stand out from her competition? Well, creative control, for one thing, having produced and arranged The Very Thought of You, as well as writing the arrangements and conducting the string section on her disc. The end result is a collection that is a little more musically expansive than some of her traditionalist counterparts.
The title track oozes its way forward, lushly and restrained; on the second track, "Almost Like Being in Love" Barlow commandingly scats, as she does in and out of a number of tunes, including "Surrey with the Fringe on Top," that features a beguiling arrangement that's far more sexy than perky.
As for what the disc does best? That answer would have to be the way the Torontonian embraces jazzy samba and bossa nova rhythms on a number of different tracks, including the playful "Pennies from Heaven," "De Conversa Em Conversa" and the sensually breathy "So Many Stars."
