Our Take

Billie Holiday, the iconic Lady Day herself, graces us with her presence once again in this enchanting live recording from Basel in 1954. Ladylove exudes all the classic charm and charisma we have come to expect from the legendary jazz singer, with her velvet vocals weaving effortlessly through each track.

From the moment Holiday steps on stage, you're transported to a smoky, dimly-lit jazz club, where the music is sultry and the atmosphere electric. The palpable energy in the room is infectious, and Lady Day feeds off the crowd's energy, delivering stunning performances that will leave you in awe.

The band behind Holiday is as tight as ever, providing the perfect accompaniment to her soulful voice. The interplay between the musicians is seamless, with each note perfectly complementing Holiday's vocals. Standout tracks include the hauntingly beautiful "Strange Fruit" and the lively "All of Me", showcasing the sheer range of Holiday's talent.

Ladylove is a time capsule, capturing Billie Holiday at the peak of her powers. Her emotive delivery and impeccable phrasing are on full display, reminding us why she remains one of the greatest singers of all time. So pour yourself a glass of your favourite tipple, dim the lights, and let Billie Holiday serenade you into the night. You won't regret it.
