Three years after the release of her successful Essentials II, jazz diva Karen Souza is back with her fourth studio album. Velvet Vault is the title of a collection that combine jazz standards with jazz reworks of pop classics plus two songs co-written by Karen herself. Japan's superstar Toku duets with Karen on the track "You Got That Something". Also part of the album are Amy Winehouse guitarist Robin Banerjee and the legendary Tom "Bones" Malone (Blues Brothers, Saturday Night Live Band). Vocals were recorded in New York at the Orchard studios and produced by Richard Gottehrer of Blondie, Richard Hell and Dr. Feelgood fame. Velvet Vault is without a doubt, Karen's most accomplished record to date and will definitely surpass the success of her previous efforts.
Velvet Vault
Kind of lazy voices Julie London for the 21st Century. The good part is the choice of covers. It proves that quality pop-rock songs of the 1980-90's can also becomes good jazzy stuff. Some other famale singers should take note instead of recording 3,147th cover of Cry me a River or Honeysuckle Rose. Favorite track: The Cure's In Between Days
