Our Take
Karen Souza's latest album, "Velvet Vault," is a sultry and sophisticated journey through the realms of jazz and bossa nova. As smooth as a fine glass of whiskey, Souza's vocals glide effortlessly over each track, painting a picture of a candlelit lounge with every note. The album kicks off with the infectious groove of "Bésame Mucho," setting the tone for what is to come. Souza's rendition of this classic track is nothing short of mesmerising, with her velvety voice weaving in and out of the Latin rhythms like a seasoned seductress. Tracks like "Creep" and "Corcovado" showcase Souza's versatility as a vocalist, effortlessly switching between haunting vulnerability and playful sensuality. The arrangements on these tracks are equally impressive, with lush strings and jazzy piano adding depth and texture to the overall sound. However, "Velvet Vault" is not without its missteps. Tracks like "I Will Always Love You" and "Tainted Love" lack the emotional depth and nuance that Souza brings to the rest of the album, feeling somewhat out of place amongst the more cohesive tracks. Overall, "Velvet Vault" is a solid effort from Karen Souza, showcasing her talents as both a vocalist and an interpreter of classics. While it may not be groundbreaking, it is certainly an enjoyable listen for fans of jazz and bossa nova alike. So grab a martini, sit back, and let Karen Souza serenade you into the night. Cheers!
