the DIVA does it again
author: Ron "Ran" Waite
Suede is a self professed DIVA, and every one of her fans will swear that she is indeed. Suede is in top vocal form on "Dangerous Mood" and has offered us a titillating collection of covers. She excells with songs by Sammy Cahn, Tom Waits, Steven Schwartz, Randy Newman, George Gershwin, and Comden and Green. After to listening to Suede's versions--it's hard to believe that anyone else has sung these songs before her. My absolute favorites are the jazzy "Dangerous Mood," the witty lyrics of "I Like to Lead When I Dance," the wail of the trombone on "New Coat of Paint," the showstopping "Defying Gravity," and the clever "You Can Leave Your Hat On." I enjoyed the entire album, but these are destined to be classics! The liner notes of this CD state that "This CD is the realization of a longtime dream--to sing big band arrangement written especially for my voice and style." For all of us, it was worth the wait and then some. This is Suede at her sophisticated finest and even Christian Siriano would have to agree that she is just so "FIERCE!"
