NEW VINYL LP ON STUNT 2011

180 GRAM VINYL.

Vocalist?a href="http://challenge.nl/product/1323864190">Kira Skov also fell under Billie’s spell: “I’ve been listening to?a href="http://challenge.nl/product/1323864190">Billie Holiday since my early teens. When I was around thirteen, I founda record in my local shopping center with that beautiful and magical?a href="http://challenge.nl/product/1323864190">portrait of Billie with the famous flower in her hair. She has been thesoundtrack to long periods of my life ever since.”Often, when we?a href="http://challenge.nl/product/1323864190">hear new versions of songs that Billie Holiday sang, we inadvertently?a href="http://challenge.nl/product/1323864190">compareThem with the original recordings. We can’t help ourselves.?a href="http://challenge.nl/product/1323864190">However, it quickly becomes apparent that Kira makes no attempt to sound?a href="http://challenge.nl/product/1323864190">like Billie Holiday. Kira sounds like Kira, and her personal and?a href="http://challenge.nl/product/1323864190">original interpretations bring these tunes from the 1930’s and 1940’s?a href="http://challenge.nl/product/1323864190">into the present. These songs have followed her, been important to her.?a href="http://challenge.nl/product/1323864190">Kira sings Them with feeling, atmosphere and a rare emotional depth.?a href="http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kira_Skov">http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kira_Skov
