After making his debut in 2010 in the role of classical Coming (jazz singer from the Dark, Cowbell Music), the Danish Mette Juul started to prefer the intimate atmosphere of the ballad copyright, on Joni Mitchell model. The change peeked in the second disc (Moon on My Shoulder, Calibrated 2012), yet full of intense jazz versions of songs like "April in Paris," "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise" or "Hum Drum Blues." In this third album the choice is clear: Mette Juul presents itself in the role of songwriter who composed the lyrics and music of his songs, mostly ballads that pass slowly, she plays with delicate grace and conversational intimacy. The only exception is "Double Rainbow," where Rodney Green has the opportunity to express most rhythmic dynamism. As in previous works, his companions are first-rate: next to the drummer just mentioned, the guitarist Mike Moreno and the bassist Joe Sanders, we reconfirmed the trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire and the talented Danish pianist Nikolaj Hess. Equipped with a bright and clear tone exposure, Mette at times recalls Helen Merrill, although the repertoire the ranks of different sizes, the fact of Joni Mitchell, Ricky Lee Jones or Tracy Chapman, who represented his first vocal patterns. The singer is accompanied with acoustic guitar and his folk themes show a clear identity, which is maintained until the Akinmusire trumpet bends climate towards jazz. The combination is effective. The album is melodically elegant, harmonically sophisticated and has everything it takes to please a wide audience.
