One could never fault this remarkable vocalist for not daring to take chances with her music catalogue and expand her craft as a vocalist.
This impressive artist remains the true vocal barometer for all singers to measure themselves against.
With the release of her 63rd album, LOVE IS THE ANSWER, Barbra delivers an exquisite product that adds yet a new dimension to her illustrious career as a musical performer.
She now officially becomes the only artist to have achieved number 1 albums in five consecutive decades.
LOVE IS THE ANSWER is a sophisticated collection of ageless songs that offer fans a warm and intimate musical experience with a treasured American vocalist.
**** Be warned: this release is NOT Barbra showcasing herself as a "POP" artist from the "Guilty" era.***
It is a stylish jazz inspired platform that soothingly displays her natural gift for interpreting timeless musical lyrics.
The ambience is purposely set to be smooth and tranquil.
Her vocal technique on LOVE IS THE ANSWER is again above reproach while the song selection is ageless, mature and comfortable.
Ms. Krall deserves Grammy recognition for having produced an enchanting product that gracefully encourages Ms. Streisand to slightly moderate her vocal approach.
~~>> I would highly recommend owning the double version of this CD as it gifts you with two varied musical arrangements of the track listing plus a bonus song; YOU MUST BELIEVE IN SPRING - a beautiful composition from Michel Legrand and the Bergmans.
The product in its entirety is soft musical candy for your ears to enjoy.
You will want to become comfortable with this CD during snowy winter days and or rainy afternoons.
Soft, romantic, relaxed and purely Streisand!

Where Is Barbra???
Barbra has the best voice ever recorded. She can sing anything. But something happened on this recording. And I think it was Diana Krall's production. Read more

Some great cuts but some terrible ones too!
BBC Radio has previewed many of the songs on this CD. There are some gorgeous songs where Barbra's maturity and strength as an actress who sings really shines through. Read more
