Product Description
Amazon.ca
What was she thinking? Former Alta Moda and Infidels singer Molly Johnson opens her second solo album with "Summertime," the Gershwin standard covered so much it's practically a cliché. Johnson's version adds little to the canon except a cumbersome hip-hop beat. Moreover, it gives almost no indication of the pleasures to come--including the unobtrusive but complementary instrumentals that accompany the Torontonian's fine, smoky voice on subtly catchy tunes. Far better are the playful nightclub vibe on Marc Jordan's "I Must Have Left My Heart," the sweet melody of "He's Got My Heart" (written by Johnson's pianist Andrew Craig), the jumpy swing of "Red Cardinal," and the hazy, lazy mood of "Sleep in Late." Add an ambitious duet with Craig that combines the 1970 Five Stairsteps soul hit "Ooh Child" with Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" to end the disc, and "Summertime" seems even more like the result of sunstroke. --Shawn Conner
The Toronto Sun
"Johnson's warm, liquid voice lovingly embraces each song."

She's THE ONE!,
By
This review is from: Another Day (Audio CD)
Of course nobody knows her in the States (why doesn't that surprise), where anything "non-American", especially Canadian is met with suspicion, to say the least. But know this: Molly is the one! She has an amazing voice, full of nuances, a real interpreter, not just a singer. And I had the joy of seeing her live...simply delightful...and so funny, made me laugh all the time. If you're looking for a very personal, talented jazz singer, who's brave enough to be different from the rest, go for Molly. She does not play safe and, boy, ain't that exciting!

Miss Molly's Feeling Fine!,
By
This review is from: Another Day (Audio CD)
I've been listening to Molly Johnson for 2 years now, and have just returned from Ontario Canada from her dynamic performance! I was very concerned about the future of female jazz vocalists, with as of late stylized elevator music supported by much hype being passed off as jazz; it has in my opinion no fervor. Miss Molly on the other hand has style, talent, and damn it you can feel her love and respect of the music known as jazz in her soul! The sound of her smoky, sexy voice makes me want to sip vermouth, make love and/or cry. Most times however I'm satisfied with just listening at home or driving to work, and wondering what she'll come up with next. Canada's Best Kept Secret, but not for long-not if I have my way! I imagine Billy, Miss Ella, Sarah, Carmen and Betty must be smiling down on Molly from Heaven. In addition the band is absolutely phenomenal!! I have both CD's: "Molly" and "Another Day" and love them both.

5.0 out of 5 stars
very enjoyable music,
By Stephen Kaczkowski (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Another Day (Audio CD)
My wife and I listened to the album last night while talking and having drinks and we found the music to be wonderful for a quiet evening at home. We knew we enjoyed Molly's voice but we also enjoyed the music as well. I certainly recommend the album to anyone who is looking for an upbeat and enjoyable listen for a quietly fun evening.
