Listen to Let Me Know Your Heart
A veteran jazz vocalist who resides in New York City, even though Audrey Silver is fluent at both piano and cello, on Let Me Know Your Heart the songstress handles American flute duties.
“When I Look In Your Eyes” starts the listen with muffled trumpet before Silver’s graceful and expressive vocals set in, and the soft and sensual “Comes Love” follows and builds into a playful jazz stunner.
In the middle, “Ever Since The World Ended” uses strategic organs in the finger snappin’ fun as the tune unfolds into a fuller collaboration with strong percussion, while “Giraffe Song” flows with bouncy melody and light subject matter that can’t help but make you smile.
Deeper cuts offer us the soothing and agile “Some Day Tomorrow”, and “New Year’s Eve” yields a festive setting that’s lyrically relatable. “Can’t We Be Friends” ends the listen with dynamic interplay between the musicians on a frisky delivery with forthright subject matter about the downfalls of love.
Silver is in great company here, as her esteemed band help flesh out these 6 originals and 8 covers, and her flawless alto vocals sound better than ever as she continues her warm, creative prowess on this 4th album.
Travels well with: Diana Krall- Turn Up The Quiet; Aimee Mann- Charmer
