Our Take

BILLIE HOLIDAY's Solitude (Natural Vinyl) is like a vintage wine, perfectly aged and full of soulful flavours. The Queen of Jazz's timeless vocals transport you to a smoky, dimly-lit jazz club where every note feels like a whispered secret.

From the hauntingly beautiful "Strange Fruit" to the melancholic "Don't Explain," Holiday's emotive delivery tugs at your heartstrings and leaves you craving more. The raw vulnerability in her voice is both captivating and heart-wrenching, showcasing her unparalleled talent as a storyteller.

The lush, warm sound of the natural vinyl only enhances the classic vibes of the album, allowing Holiday's voice to shine through without any distractions. It's the kind of music that demands to be listened to in one sitting, with a glass of bourbon in hand and a heart full of emotions.

While Solitude may not be breaking any new ground musically, it reminds us why Billie Holiday remains a legend in the world of jazz. Her ability to convey pain, longing, and hope in every note is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

So sit back, relax, and let Billie Holiday's Solitude wash over you like a gentle wave. This album is a must-have for any jazz aficionado or anyone looking to be transported to a different era with just a simple spin of the record. Cheers to the Queen of Jazz and her everlasting legacy.
