The breezy and haunting sounds of The Girl in the Other Room has moved through the air of my home, gently filling the space with the resonating notes of a steady bass, the soft tapings of a high hat and cymbal, and a voice that feels to whisper the lingering lyrics of songs written from the soul. Diana's fingers seem to barely touch the keys of her instrument, her heart expressing the existence of languid spirits, lost loves and memories of abandonment, past affairs and the fading scent of summertime.
The
music of Diana Krull redefines the meaning of the word "cool"
or more so, brings its meaning back to its original roots, where cool
can really only be expressed through the sounds of jazz and
blues.
Most
of these tunes are a creative collaboration between Diana Krall and
the genius of Elvis Costello. (husband) It is entirely evident that
these two artists' have that mysterious ability to bring their minds
and souls together, creating some extraordinary music.
Hearing
track twelve for the first time, Departure Bay, Diana's voice, like
the magical chanting of an ancient magi, entered my being and opened
my spirit to the endless possibilities of music, seemingly
transporting the soul to other realities, beautiful worlds and
landscapes, places the soul always yearns for in secret, waiting for
the chance to finally go there...and stay.
Diana
and Elvis Costello have truly exceeded themselves with these
songs.
This
CD is magical, strangely enchanting and truly mesmerizing.
