jenny toomey: Tempting (Jenny Toomey Sings the Songs of Franklin Bruno) (2003)
lyrically and melodically, harks back to icons like Cole Porter and Noel Coward. Toomey's superior vocals balance sincerity and irony, and the subtle pop arrangements, sweetened by understated string charts and inventive rhythmic touches, are top notch.
