Our Take

Fresh off the presses comes Billie Holiday's "Body & Soul" on red vinyl, and let me tell you, this album is a real gem. As a renowned jazz icon, Holiday brings her signature soulful voice to each and every track, transporting listeners to a bygone era of class and sophistication.

From the opening notes of "Love for Sale" to the hauntingly beautiful "Solitude," Holiday's emotional depth and impeccable phrasing shine through on every track. The arrangements are lush and timeless, perfectly complementing Holiday's velvety vocals.

One standout track is "Strange Fruit," a haunting ballad that tackles the heavy subject of racial injustice. Holiday's delivery is spine-tingling, and the raw emotion she brings to the song is truly unparalleled. It's a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of her music.

Overall, "Body & Soul" is a must-have for any jazz aficionado or music lover looking to expand their horizons. The red vinyl adds a touch of nostalgia and flair to an already incredible album, making it a must-have for collectors and casual listeners alike. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of your favourite libation, and let Billie Holiday's enchanting voice wash over you. This album is a true classic that deserves a spot in everyone's vinyl collection.
