                    [Summary] => Pauleen Luna is one of the most beautiful young girls in show business. She is also sweet.

This fine song stylist has brought jazz to the attention of young music lovers who could not get over the fact that something that is really so complex can also be within their reach. That is, thanks of course to her beautiful voice and uncanny way with the material.

                    [Summary] => Stacey Kent is a girl after my own heart. She sings the old songs I like to sing and she does it in lots of beautiful, surprising ways. Of course, lots and lots better too. Sometimes I think she even sounds better than the original. If she doesn’t, you just have to realize that not even the gifted Stacey can always put one over the likes of Ella or Sarah and their ilk. At the very least, she still makes the songs sound new and different.

                    [Summary] => Amidst all the boy  band harmonizing and the teen diva vocal  calisthenics, the release of Stacey Kent’s new album comes like rain after a long, dry season. The young jazz artist has the emotional responsiveness of an old soul and she has the pipes to go with it. Kent has precise diction, crystal-clear tones and a way with lyrics that although not imitative, echoes music greats like Nat "King" Cole and Ella Fitzgerald.

                    [Summary] => Amidst all the boy  band harmonizing and the teen diva vocal  calisthenics, the release of Stacey Kent’s new album comes like rain after a long, dry season. The young jazz artist has the emotional responsiveness of an old soul and she has the pipes to go with it. Kent has precise diction, crystal-clear tones and a way with lyrics that although not imitative, echoes music greats like Nat "King" Cole and Ella Fitzgerald.
