Jazz musician Andrea Superstein is known for her powerful voice and indie jazz sound. Her third album, Worlds Apart, is a meticulously arranged blend of reimagined classics, and electro-infused original songs. "The added layer of having composed and written a lot of the music and lyrics definitely gives me confidence," Superstein told Hot Air host Margaret Gallagher. The album's title comes from Superstein's relationship with her hometown, Montreal, and her current home, Vancouver. "Montreal still holds a strong place in my heart. Those two cities could not be any more different from each other … [it's] kind of reconciling my love for both places." All the original music on Worlds Apart was written in Vancouver, and every track was recorded in Montreal. Elizabeth Shepherd, an acclaimed jazz musician in her own right, produced the record. When Superstein was a little girl, she would rifle through her parents' basement looking for records. What she found were eight-track tapes of Simon & Garfunkel and Bob Dylan. Now on her new album, the jazz vocalist gives Dylan's Don't Think Twice, It's Alright the Superstein treatment. The tempo is restructured, with some magic jazz dust sprinkled on top. "What I like to do with other people's music is try to look at it from a totally different perspective. I think that's the way I can try to make somebody else's song new." Superstein says she has always been drawn to the doo-wop harmonies of 1950s and '60s music, jazz standards, and the harmonies and social messages of folk music of the '60s and '70s. All that influence pops up in Worlds Apart. ~ Laura Sciarpelletti https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/andrea-superstein-s-new-album-is-a-jazzy-blend-of-originals-and-reimagined-classics-1.4835022
