Our Take

DORIS DAY - The Absolutely Essential

Doris Day, the iconic actress turned singer, is back with a triple dose of nostalgia on "The Absolutely Essential." This compilation album takes us on a delightful journey through Day's career, showcasing her signature smooth vocals and timeless charm.

From the playful melodies of "Que Sera, Sera" to the heartfelt ballads of "Secret Love," Day's versatility shines through on every track. It's like slipping into a cozy pair of slippers after a long day - familiar, comforting, and oh-so satisfying.

But don't be fooled by her sugary sweet image, Day's vocals pack a punch with their depth and emotion. She effortlessly switches from sultry to soaring, leaving us hanging on every note. Whether you're in the mood for a toe-tapping tune or a tearjerker, "The Absolutely Essential" has got you covered.

The production on this album is top-notch, with crisp instrumentation and lush arrangements that bring out the best in Day's vocals. Each song is like a little time capsule, transporting us back to a bygone era of glamour and sophistication.

In a world of auto-tuned pop stars and manufactured boy bands, Doris Day reminds us of a simpler time when music was pure and genuine. "The Absolutely Essential" is a love letter to a legendary artist, and a must-have for any fan of classic Hollywood glamour and timeless tunes. Long live Doris Day!
