Album Notes

#3 CD of 2003!
“Warm, simple arrangements frame and complement LaShae’s angelic voice on an intimate program that exudes sophistication and charm. Her precise phrasing, pure tone and sunny disposition make “Introducing…Julia LaShae” the vocal event of the year.”
-Keith Spera - The Times-Picayune, New Orleans

“It’s refreshing to hear a modern jazz crooner who doesn’t sound like a B-grade Vegas vocalist. …The CD has found its way onto my player at various times, but mostly when seeking something soothing and calm. …If you’re seeking music to lull you into a mood, this is the ticket.”
-Gary Miller - Atomic

“Vocalist Julia LaShae’s classy debut is a nice little Valentine’s treat.”
-Michael Dominici - Where Y’at

“Straight from the classics of the American songbook comes this sultry torch singer with the flaming red hair and the face that could launch a thousand ships. And a voice that’s as sweet and lovely as the talented chanteuse projecting it.”
-Dean M. Shapiro - Offbeat
