an engaging collection of songs. Self produced in Toronto at Doane Leblanc Studios, the
13 track album which releases on March 10 2009 (via her own Empress Music Group
imprint and KOCH distribution) is filled to the brim with musical conversations; some reflective,
some intimate and some cheeky.
Joined by a vibrant cast of Canadian musicians, the disc features Reg Schwager on guitar
Ross MacIntyre on bass, Dave Restivo on piano and Davide DiRenzo on drums.
What makes “Haven’t We Met?” a record of prominence is its simple beauty. Songs of
lust and longing sit side by side songs rushing with pure exhilarated joie de vivre. It’s a
collection that snapshots spontaneous dreamers who yearn to fall desperately in love.
Emilie-Claire’s dexterity in her pitch perfect rollercoaster vocalese is at its height, surely
inspired by an unlocked stream of consciousness that is almost apologetic in its truth.
There is a rare directness here enhanced by the superb clarity and warmth in
Emilie-Claire’s joyful confident singing and her imaginative arrangements that respect
and celebrate the songs and showcase marvelous musicians.
Emilie-Claire Barlow was named Female Vocalist of the Year at the National Jazz Awards
in 2008 for her work on her sixth album¸ The Very Thought Of You. The album, which critics
commented was a work which saw the singer come into her own, was also nominated
for a Juno Award. Her performance of Alex Kramer’s “There Ain’t Nobody Here But
Us Chickens “ at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala was also nominated for a Gemini
Award in the same year.

Underrated singer,
By Sly Swing (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Haven't We Met (Audio CD)
I saw Emilie-Claire sing with her father in a jazz festival a long time ago, and I was very impressed. A decade or so later, she's producing very good albums. I've got this one and the one before. She's got a bit of a Diana Krall style but with a better voice. This is a good solid vocal jazz album. And she deserves a larger following.

Another Excellent Album...,
By thenamegame - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Haven't We Met (Audio CD)
When I first listened to this album, I was instantly reminded of other notable Jazz vocalists like Diana Krall, Jane Monheit, and Stacy Kent. Simple, sweet and very much the sound of a jazz piano lounge on a Paris afternoon, a great album to listen to on a day to relax.Track Listing: 1. All I Do Is Dream Of You 2. C'est Merveilleux 3.

This review is from: Haven't We Met (Audio CD)
KD Lang, Norah Jones, Diana Krall move over while someone to look up to joins your group of ultimate contemporary female jazz performers...You'll find brilliance, extreme vivacious change of pace, amazing vocal resonance, all in one CD that you will not tire of- not today, next week or ever. Words can't do it, not this time; just get it and feast your ears, complete your CD collection with one that sets a new standard. Especially endearing are "Glad There is You" with resonance that will make your eardrums dance and "You're Driving Me Crazy" filled with energy, innovation and just adorable. Are we lucky to be entertained by this lady or what!!! Either listen closely, savoring each note being treated with loving brilliance or put it on for dinner music to complement your favorite meal. I have to mention her band- it perfectly compliments her art with a full jazz spectrum of sax, piano, bass, drums, trumpet, guitar. Treat yourself to something extraordinary, see for yourself if I'm exaggerating!! |
