I can’t get you out of my heart
Stevie Holland’s vivacious voice is well suited to
these romantic selections. Her smooth, sexy voice glides
effortlessly over the jazzy accompaniment by pianist Jesse Green
(son of jazz great Urbie Green).
Her voice has a delicate beauty that mingles with a sultry
side filled with emotion. You believe she means every word
because each inflection of her voice absolutely reflects the
meanings.
Standards like “Autumn in New York” have never come
across so beautifully and “Isn’t It a Pity” has never
sounded this sultry. The sheer urgency of passion in “Could It
Be Magic” is sexy and yet contemplative.
“The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you
and someday I’ll know that moment…
All that I want in all of this world is you.”
~All The Things You Are
All the songs on this CD were developed from Stevie’s
recent New York cabaret engagement at Danny's Skylight Room.
Stevie Holland has sold out shows at Westbank’s Laurie
Beechman Theatre and her previous recordings include “Do You
Ever Dream?” and “This Is America.”
There are two original love songs on this CD. “I Will
Remember You” was written by Stevie and her husband, composer
Gary William Friedman. “Errant Hero” is from DREAM MOUNTAIN,
a musical.
Once you hear this CD, it will be impossible to get the
memory of Stevie Holland’s voice out of your heart. The only
thing better than owning this CD would be seeing her sing in
person.
“Almost Like Being in Love” presents mood music with
meaningful lyrics to create a nostalgic environment for a dreamy
evening.
A Promising Musical Kiss of Rare Beauty.
