Our Take

Keely Smith's "I Wish You Love / Swingin Pretty" is a deliciously retro throwback that transports listeners straight to the swinging days of the 1950s. Smith's velvety vocals ooze charm and sophistication, perfectly complementing the lush orchestrations and toe-tapping rhythms that define this double album.

On "I Wish You Love," Smith effortlessly croons her way through standards like the title track and "The Nearness of You," her voice shimmering with emotion and a touch of playful sass. Each track is like a glass of fine champagne - elegant, bubbly, and impossible to resist.

But it's on "Swingin Pretty" where Smith truly shines. From the buoyant brass on "You Go to My Head" to the smoky allure of "Fever," Smith proves she's more than just a pretty voice - she's a musical force to be reckoned with. And let's not forget the swinging arrangements that transport you straight to a smoky jazz club filled with cool cats and hip chicks.

So grab a cocktail, slip into your best vintage threads, and let Keely Smith whisk you away to a bygone era of glamour and romance. You won't regret it, darling. Cheers to Keely Smith, the queen of cool.
