Our Take

Move over, chaps and chapettes, because Billie Holiday's "Songs for Distingue Lovers" is here to steal the show and your hearts. This reissue by Acoustic Sounds is a delightful trip down memory lane to a time when music was classy, suave, and oh-so-sophisticated.

From the moment the needle touches down on the vinyl, you're transported to a smoky jazz club in the heart of Soho, sipping on a martini and being serenaded by the one and only Lady Day. Her voice is like butter, smooth and silky, wrapping itself around each note with a seductive charm that is simply irresistible.

The arrangements on this album are top-notch, with each instrument blending seamlessly together to create a lush, luxurious sound that is as rich as a decadent chocolate soufflé. Tracks like "Day In, Day Out" and "But Beautiful" showcase Holiday's unparalleled vocal prowess, while the stripped-down simplicity of "I'll Be Around" allows her raw emotion to shine through.

Overall, "Songs for Distingue Lovers" is a timeless masterpiece that will have you reaching for your dancing shoes and feeling like a million bucks. So grab a glass of champagne, sit back, and let Billie Holiday whisk you away on a magical musical journey that you won't soon forget. Cheers, darling!
