With Shade, Holly Has Another Winner
Aug 7 2003
Format:Audio CD
If you are not already a Holly Cole fan, but enjoy jazz, her latest album, "Shade", may be a good way to introduce yourself to her special artistry. If you are a fan, you will smile at her continued creativity. An eclectic but effective mix of songs unified by the common theme of having something to do with summer, the album starts off with an almost "smooth-jazz""-like mechanical-sounding percussion sequence that had me dreading what was to follow. But I listened beyond that intro and was intrigued by the blend of styles and influences she acknowledges in the instrumental accompaniments, while maintaining her own distinct imprint on the vocals. Her interpretations sound unlike any other you've heard of the same song, so some of them might take some getting used to if you are familiar with other more familiar covers. But after a couple of "listens", her versions not only sound original, they sound "right". This album is a real treat for any season!
My favourite Holly so far
July 16 2006
Format:Audio CD
I've been a Holly Cole fan from Girl Talk on, and find Shade has a different appeal from her other CDs. Each new CD seems to suit a mood, and Shade is my current summertime favourite.
I recently had to buy a new one as I loaned mine to a restaurant owner in Mexico, who played it to appreciative diners in his garden restaurant. As he didn't offer it back, I left it for other customers' enjoyment.
But I'm on track again now.
It's summertime and Holly is singing Hot! Hot! Hot!, and it is 30 C here, but I know I'll be cooling off soon when she gets to We Meet in the Shadows, her cool mellow tones, uniquely Holly, as refreshing as a soft rainfall.

My first Holly Cole CD and not a bit disappointed

I took a chance on this CD since I've been hearing great things about Holly Cole. I must say I love her crisp, clear, cool voice. It is so refreshing to listen to her and to her type of music.
