Our Take

Billie Holiday's "Solitude" on solid blue vinyl is like diving into a cool pool on a hot summer's day. This reissue takes us back to a time when jazz ruled the airwaves and Holiday's voice reigned supreme.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're transported to a smoky, dimly lit jazz club in 1940s New York City. Holiday's velvety vocals on the title track "Solitude" are enough to make your heart ache with longing, while her rendition of "I Cried for You" will have you reaching for the tissues.

The arrangement of each track is pure perfection, with horns blaring, piano keys tinkling, and Holiday's voice soaring above it all like a jazz angel. "Eeny Meeny Miney Mo" is a standout track, full of playful whimsy and infectious energy that will have you tapping your feet and swinging your hips.

The sound quality of this vinyl reissue is top-notch, with every note and nuance coming through crystal clear. And the solid blue vinyl adds a touch of retro cool to your record collection that is bound to impress your friends.

So grab a glass of your favorite tipple, slip "Solitude" onto your turntable, and let Billie Holiday's timeless voice wash over you like a warm embrace. This reissue is a must-have for any jazz enthusiast or vinyl collector. Cheers to Billie Holiday and her enduring legacy!
