On the Day We Met is Suede's award winning third solo release.
Winner of the 2002 OMA for best new CD by a female artist and 2002 OMA for best new song for Emily Remembers.
Imagine a cross between Ella Fitzgerald and Bette Midler, throw in a little Rosie Clooney, add a dash of Louis Armstrong, and you might get some idea of Suede's unique mix of musical abilities and talents. Think sophisticated pop/jazz, think naughty blues with a sizzling trumpet, think love songs that will make you swoon, think funny, think Wow, what a voice!
This consummate entertainer sings original material and pop, blues and jazz standards like nobody you've ever heard, while accompanying herself on the piano, trumpet and guitar. She also plays with her fabulous band: NY veteran jazz players David Pearl on piano, Max Murray or Sue Williams on bass.
Suede has toured extensively in the US, Europe and as far away as New Zealand and Australia always to full houses and rave reviews.
This "Diva Extraordinaire" has appeared on ABC's 20/20, WAMU Radio, NPR, MTV, and in the film "A Simple Matter of Justice" Her recording of &"Remember Who You Are" was recently featured on the soap opera, The Young and the Restless and is featured on the newly released HRC compilation disc, Being Out Rocks with other such notable artists as Sarah McLachlan, Rufus Wainright, k.d.Lang, Harvey Fierstein, Janis Ian, Cyndi Lauper, The B52's and others. Her latest release, On the Day We Met, won two OUTMusic awards in 2001, one for best new release by a female artist and one for best new song (Emily Remembers).
With a strong belief in the responsibility that comes with any celebrity status, she has helped raised tens of thousands of dollars for various causes she supports, including Breast Cancer awareness and research, AIDS funding, Alzheimer's Care and research, Animal rights and many others.
And, she is FUN! From unbelievable a cappella to "bring down the house" belting blues, Suede delivers it all with her own unique blend of warmth, wit and musical artistry.
"Precisely elegant phrasing, sheer pizzazz,
emotional transparency that's gripping to watch"
- Albany Daily Gazette
"Voices like hers come along maybe once in a generation"
-New York Post
"A great pop and jazz stylist of all manner of material. Her voice is pure, marvelously musical"
-San Francisco Examiner
"Eine Grosse Blueslady"
-DerBund (Bern, Switzerland)
"Her voice is like peppermints dipped in honey"
-CHTV (Christchurch, New Zealand)
Important note: This is the one and only Suede. Do not confuse Suede the pop/jazz vocalist with the British band London Suede. Due to a legal settlement between female vocalist Suede and the Sony Corporation in 1996, London Suede is not legally allowed to trade in the USA using the Suede trademark owned by the vocalist, Suede

You have to love Suede.....
author: Janice Friedman
OK.... So, I play piano for her. I do that for a whole lot of people (even for myself). But, it's not everyone that I would write a little "Yay-rah" review for (without even being asked to!) My questions to anyone reading this are: Do you want to hear someone with pitch that is always right on? Do you want to hear someone that feels what she is singing and sends it with a love and an energy that just doesn't quit to absolutely everyone that is in hearing distance? Do you want someone that doesn't take herself so seriously that she can make you laugh out loud while still delivering the good sounds? Well, that's Suede. And, as you can probably tell, I'm not only her pianist, I'm one of her fans as well.

Fantastic musician with a voice to either heat up or melt your soul
author: Jan -SisterSound on KAOS Radio
This is a great recording and a nice combination of songs. Suede either recorded or in person is a woman with passion for music that shines through every song and note she plays on the trumpet.
