Our Take

Peggy Lee, the Queen of Cool, is back with her latest album "If I Could Be With You", and let me tell you, this record is smoother than a freshly waxed dance floor. Lee's sultry vocals effortlessly glide over the lush jazz arrangements, creating a sound that is as intoxicating as a martini at happy hour.

From the opening track, "I'm in the Mood for Love", Lee sets the mood just right, with her honeyed tones luring you in like a siren of the sea. The album is a masterclass in restraint, with Lee never once overdoing it or resorting to gimmicks. Each note is carefully considered, each lyric delivered with a knowing wink.

Standout tracks include the title track, which sees Lee at her most vulnerable, yearning for a love that feels just out of reach. The stripped-down arrangement allows Lee's voice to shine, capturing that feeling of longing and desire with heartbreaking clarity.

Overall, "If I Could Be With You" is a triumph for Peggy Lee, showcasing her timeless talent and cementing her status as a true icon of jazz. So pour yourself a glass of the good stuff, dim the lights, and let Peggy Lee serenade you into the night. Cheers to the Queen of Cool!
