Our Take

Australian jazz sensation Sarah McKenzie swoops onto the scene with her latest album, "Close Your Eyes," a velvety smooth collection of standards and originals that will make you want to curl up in a cozy armchair with a glass of fine whisky.

McKenzie's sultry vocals are a perfect match for the sophisticated arrangements on this album, which range from Latin-infused numbers to intimate ballads. Tracks like "Lost in the Stars" and "You Must Believe in Spring" showcase her skill at conveying emotion through her voice, while her piano playing shines on the playful "The Gypsy in My Soul."

The production on "Close Your Eyes" is top-notch, with every instrument given space to breathe and shine. The lush strings on "Moon River" add a touch of elegance, while the brass section on "Tea for Two" gives the track a lively, swingin' feel.

McKenzie's take on the title track, "Close Your Eyes," is a standout moment on the album, with her heartfelt delivery drawing you in and holding you captive until the very last note. It's a masterclass in storytelling through song.

Overall, "Close Your Eyes" is a sophisticated, charming album that showcases McKenzie's talent as a singer, pianist, and arranger. It's the perfect soundtrack for a romantic evening in, or a late-night cocktail party with friends. Close your eyes, sit back, and let Sarah McKenzie take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
