Cry Me A River - Cynthia BasinetFrom the artist best known for SANTA BABY comes a new single, CRY ME A RIVER. (In the studio)
Review:
The song, which speaks about sweet revenge, has been revived very successfully by Cynthia Basinet. While there are hints of the original Julie London version, Ms. Basinet's rendition is particularly bluesy, while being a bit more sensual. Accompanied by a sensitive rhythm section, the singer displays her beautiful voice on a version full of desire, regret, and quiet satisfaction at how the broken love affair turned out. The results are haunting and memorable. ~Scott Yanow, author of ten jazz books including The Jazz Singers, Jazz On Film and Jazz On Record 1917-76
