The delicate voice of Kitt Lough is a perfect fit for Jazz, and on her album Orange Colored View she brings back timeless hits expressing love, sentimental thoughts and broken dreams. Her soft, rich voice and inventive styling and range allows Lough to communicate the depth and sincerity of emotion she feels in each song.
Lough displays an intense feeling of affection and a grander sense of desire as she covers the everlasting classic, "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm." Her technique is flawless by her grace and cadence. "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" opens with the weeping sound of a Spanish guitar that tells the tale of gigolos and gigolettes kissing and dancing on a street paved by their shabby aspirations. "Orange Colored Sky" depicts Lough's melodic scats and adds a touch of humor as she giggles at the end of the song.
Singing in tune proves to be difficult for most Jazz singers, or any singer for that matter, but this is not the case for Lough. She'll move you, swoon you and maybe put you in the mood to find love, or love the one you're with. The glory of Jazz is embodied in its colorful history, passion, and that Jazz singers today are inventive and not controlled by the materialistic ways of the recording industry. But the truth is whether you're in or out of love, Kitt Lough delivers a passionate message to you, as her elegant voice seals the deal with a kiss. |
