专辑简介
Got romance? Get swept away by Clairdee’s romantic voyage, DESTINATION MOON. With moonlit romance in her voice, she "delivers an exquisite reminder that classic tunes with their timeless beauty last forever," writes Dan Ouellette, Down Beat. Listeners will delight in Clairdee’s luminous and soulful approach to the lyric. "The songs I sing speak to my experience. They are personal vignettes," the San Francisco-based jazz vocalist says with a smile.
Influenced by the joyful storytelling of Nancy Wilson and the warm tones of Nat Cole, Clairdee’s rich contralto takes you on a sensuous expedition with such classics as "I’ve Got The World On A String," "Star Eyes," and "Moonglow." Most of the songs date from the 1930s and ‘40s, but Clairdee isn’t particularly interested in nostalgia. She says, "My arrangements often place familiar tunes in unfamiliar rhythmic settings. For example, we’ve decanted the Gershwin’s ‘They Can’t Take That Away From Me,’ and poured it into a new context with a contemporary rhythm while maintaining the classic swing elements."
Describing her unique approach to the American Songbook, Clairdee says, "I personalize these beautiful, durable songs without making them unrecognizable — telling each story in a setting that I believe today’s listeners can identify with. The wonderful truth is that the lyric has as much meaning today as seventy-five years ago."
With soothing, alluring vocals that become soft and whisper-like in pockets, Clairdee offers a sexy, come-hither request as she sings "When Lights Are Low." The title song, "Destination Moon," beckons an out-of-this-world trip for two, while "My Future Just Passed" recalls the thrill of love-at-first-sight. The disc concludes with "Beautiful Friendship," a tale of falling in love with a friend and the joyous discovery of reciprocal love.
So, light the candles, slip into something comfortable and get romanced with Clairdee and DESTINATION MOON.
