"Carmen's opening song "Time Is Love" is a rousing, upbeat anthem of joyous soul!!
There are 2 versions of "Dindi" on this cd. The original version is very stylized and perfected. The alternate take comes quietly from inside her soul. Just listen to the longing in her voice as the arrangement glides behind her.
Carmen begins with a dramatic intro on "The Lamp Is Low", then there is a twist as a Latin-arrangement gently swings in the background to her cooking jazz vocal.
Lucky for us that we get to experience 2 versions of "Perfect Stranger" on this cd. Can you pick a favorite? The original version has the full orchestra/rousing vocal treatment. The alternate take swings with a jazz combo and Carmen's saucy vocal.
Such deep feelings stir in Carmen's original version of "Good Morning Kiss"! There is warm fluidity in the alternate take of this song.
"Show Me That You Love Me" is one of Carmen's original compositions and it is hot!! There are many moods and tempos to experience in this song.
"Love For Sale" is a very funky long version mix of vocal and instrumental jazz.
This cd is a must for jazz lovers and Carmen Lundy fans alike. Also looking for Carmen on You Tube and accessing her website will bring you the concert dvd which is a treat for all Carmen fans."

"Timeless music. Purchased the LP in grad school, then the CD. "Good Morning Kiss" does it for me. Beautiful."
