a Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Canada's Wendy McNeill is no common singer. Her new record is a bit special, taking in a variety of styles and themes.
"Blue Skies" is a gentle, jazzy piece that recalls Jane Siberry.
"Black Angus" has McNeill dismissing an admirer to a jaunty tune.
"Cigarettes and You" has her singing of giving up on addictions, namely the smokes and a guy.
She sings a couple of verses of "La Vie en Rose" and follows it with a song of Edith Piaf. McNeill imbues the song with spirit and pathos as she recounts the singer's life in first person. McNeill quickly makes us understand what made Piaf tick.
Wendy McNeill is clearly very gifted and this is a strong record.
