Chantal Chamberland - Serendipity Street (CD)

User Rating: / 0
PoorBest 

With her smoky, late-night-at-the-club vocal presence, Chantal Chamberland is like a singer from a different era - one from the days when standards by Gershwin and Berlin were pop songs of the moment and vintage jazz was the height of fashion. SERENDIPITY STREET is a showcase for the artist’s passionate, velvety singing voice and her equally adept skills as a guitarist. Featured are a series of standards, pop covers and original pieces, which include soulful renditions of Billie Holiday’s classic “God Bless the Child,” Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” and Willie Nelson’s “Crazy.” With each of these timeless torch songs, Chamberland proves herself as a singer with the chops to go up against the best of today’s jazz innovators. You’ll definitely want to check out this album if you are a fan of Diana Krall. “ Chantal Chamberland’s latest CD, Serendipity Street, is a passionate labour of love... sweet, sassy, sultry and sad. Not only does it revisit the standards, it offers intimate originals, some penned by Chamberland herself, others written ascollaborative efforts. A native of St. Lambert, Quebec, Chantal Chamberland was raised in Montreal on the music of Edith Piaf, Ella Fitzgerald and Artie Shaw. Eventually, she moved to Ontario to pursue her own musical dreams and, of equal importance, to learn how to speak English.
