Amel definitely proved that she is a true jazz artist on this CD. I have to admit that I am...or was not a fan of jazz. After listening to Lovely Standards, I can see the influence jazz has had on her previous albums. (Listen to Lovely Standards, and then listen to "Infinite Possibilities"! I guarantee you'll appreciate her music more! This is a beautiful work of art! (As is all of her music)

I guess Amel's Neo Soul fan's are a bit astound by this very beatless jazz like CD. I however think it is not bad it's very nocturnal, autumnal it's all to do with the voice the piano and stick bass but that's what traditional jazz is about.

But all in all it's an intersting project, ... Read More

At first I found Amel's singing a bit raw and serious for my taste but with a few listening you realise that she has a very nice selection and different arrangements to certain songs heard a hundred times.
A fine voice(can't wait for her next R&B album) and you get a sense of pride listening to her as it feels like her heart is poured on to every track as she sings. Track number four is my favourite.

"Lovely standards" is Amel Larrieux's fourth release, following a trio of neo soul classics. As its name implies, it comprises covers of standards, most unknown by me. Stripped down to mainly piano, guitar, and some bass, the sound is slow and delicate, the perfect companion to a candle lit dinner. While her phrasing may not be like that of Ella or Billie (as many have pointed out), she does bring her touch to the songs with her breathless, airy delivery and stripped sound. I'm not surprised most do not ... Read More
