Our Take

Blossom Dearie, the effervescent jazz singer whose name sounds more like a character in a Beatrix Potter book than a music legend, has finally received the Hits treatment. This compilation, cleverly titled "24 Golden Tracks," showcases Dearie's unique blend of charm, wit, and musical talent that made her a beloved figure in the jazz world.

The Hits opens with the infectious "Peel Me A Grape," a playful tune that perfectly encapsulates Dearie's quirky persona. Her light, airy vocals dance effortlessly over the swinging melody, drawing listeners in from the very first note. As the album progresses, we are treated to classics such as "They Say It's Spring" and "I'm Hip," all of which showcase Dearie's impeccable vocal control and innate sense of style.

But what truly sets Dearie apart from her peers is her ability to infuse each song with a sense of joy and whimsy. Tracks like "Rhode Island Is Famous For You" and "Tea For Two" are delivered with a knowing wink and a smile, making them impossible to resist. Even on more melancholic tracks such as "Once Upon A Summertime," Dearie's optimism shines through, reminding us that even the darkest moments can be lifted by music.

Overall, The Hits is a delightful tribute to a true musical icon. Dearie's vocals are as captivating as ever, and her charisma shines through on every track. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to her music, this compilation is a must-listen for anyone in need of a little pick-me-up. Blooming marvellous!
