Album Notes & Community Reviews
Intentionally designed to promote the crime drama film in which the vocalist held a supporting acting role. The severely stripped-down session features her accompanied solely by pianist Paul Smith, creating an intensely intimate, torch-song atmosphere rarely heard in her highly orchestrated studio catalog.
Genres
