MAYSA - SMOOTH SAILING - EXPANSION

MAYSA - WOMAN IN LOVE - CD - SHANACHIE - NEW - £13.99
This mix of originals, cover and standards gives Maysa room to show her vocal prowess and smoking soulfulness of that extraordinary voice. Her version of ‘Round Midnight’ is amazing almost mind blowing. ‘Send Some Time’ is a sparse backdrop for Maysa too and ‘Am I Wrong (For Lovin You)’ is a gorgeously warm groove. The slow duet with Will Downing ‘Love Theory’ is another delight as is the title song. Rod Temperton’s ‘The Lady In My Life’ is given an understated rendition that respects the song beauty. Her takes of ‘Willow Weep For Me’, ‘I Put A Spell On You’ and ‘What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life’ just underline how great a voice Maysa has and show she can sing just about anything including Billie Holiday, Ella and Nina Simone songs and make them her own.
