There's a wistful, ethereal, little girl lost charm about Danish singer Juul's voice. It entwines, not just around the lyric but also around the heart, the ears, of the listener. The only other singer I can recall who achieved that same effect was the late Shirley Horn. Shirley, like Mette, could turn a swinger into a lovelorn ballad and vice versa.
It's compelling stuff, the kind of album you want to share with someone special, over a late night/early morning drink the way your parents/grandparents once did listening to Sinatra or Bennett. Who am I foolin'? The way I once did!
It's beautiful and the accompanying musicians are too. If you want to hit the spot this is a good place to start. It's not released until November 10 but you can hear a snippet of Beautiful Love HERE. Lance
Beautiful Love; My Foolish Heart; With a Song in my Heart; Nature Boy; I'm Moving on; Distance; Northern Woods; Love is a Many-Splendored Thing; Celeste; Where You've Never Been
