Our Take

Ah, the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald, the Queen of Jazz herself. Dearly Beloved, her latest offering, is a delightful romp through the classic American Songbook that only Ella could have pulled off with such finesse.

From the opening track, "Blue Skies," Fitzgerald's effortlessly smooth vocals transport you to a bygone era of glamour and sophistication. The way she effortlessly glides through each phrase is nothing short of mesmerising, leaving you hanging on her every word.

The album's title track, "Dearly Beloved," is a tender ballad that showcases Fitzgerald's impeccable phrasing and emotional depth. You can feel every word she sings, as if she's sharing her most intimate thoughts with you alone.

But it's not all slow jams and heartache on Dearly Beloved. Tracks like "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" and "Cheek to Cheek" are pure joy - swinging and grooving in a way that only Ella can. Her scatting on these tracks is truly a sight (or a sound) to behold.

Overall, Dearly Beloved is a testament to Ella Fitzgerald's enduring talent and charm. She truly is a national treasure, and this album is a must-listen for fans of jazz and music alike. Go on, treat yourself to some Ella - you won't regret it.

Ella Fitzgerald, the First Lady of Song, is a jazz icon who needs no introduction. With a career spanning over six decades, Fitzgerald's mesmerising voice and improvisational skills have earned her a well-deserved spot in the music hall of fame. Born in 1917 in Virginia, Fitzgerald's talent was evident from a young age. Discovered at a Harlem talent show in the 1930s, she quickly rose to fame with her smooth, velvety vocals and impeccable scatting techniques. Known for her breathtaking range and pitch-perfect delivery, Fitzgerald's performances were always a sight to behold. Throughout her illustrious career, Fitzgerald collaborated with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Louis Armstrong. Her groundbreaking series of "songbook" albums, in which she covered the works of famous composers like Cole Porter and George Gershwin, cemented her status as a true musical genius. Fitzgerald's influence extends far beyond the realm of jazz. Her ability to inject emotion and soul into every note she sings has inspired countless artists across genres. From pop to rock to hip-hop, Fitzgerald's legacy lives on through the artists she has inspired. As a music reviewer, it is hard not to be in awe of Fitzgerald's unparalleled talent and impact on the music world. Her timeless voice continues to enchant listeners to this day, proving that true talent knows no bounds. Ella Fitzgerald may no longer be with us, but her music will live on forever.
