Husky voiced 2010 X-Factor runner up Rebecca Ferguson takes on the legendary Billie Holiday’s ‘Lady Sings The Blues’ album, also adding a few big band covers into the mix. While not tearing up any trees, Ferguson handles the challenge well and the silky smooth delivery from the band ensure that the 17 tracks here have a classiness and high production quality to mark them out from the desperate and at times anguished quality of the originals. ‘Get Happy’ has less of the undercurrent angst of Holliday’s version, ‘I Thought About You’ demonstrates the range of Ferguson’s voice well, ‘Stormy Weather’ is a sultry, slinky ode to smooth while the ender ‘My Man’ sashays through just over 3 /12 minutes of Latin-esque easy listening.
