Album Notes & Community Reviews

Moving significantly away from the synth-heavy dance pop of their debut, Swing Out Sister embraced massive, orchestral lounge-pop on their sophomore effort. Featuring lavish string arrangements by legendary composer Jimmy Webb, the album is a cinematic, deeply romantic tribute to 1960s Burt Bacharach productions. It perfectly highlights Corinne Drewery鈥檚 smooth, sophisticated vocal delivery within a remarkably organic setting.
