When Vancouver based jazz singer Eleanor Collins died in March, at 104, I was prompted to Google current Canadian jazz singers. Emilie Claire Barlow was one of the first names I noticed. I’m happy I did. And this cover of Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed’s 1934 jazz standard, All I Do Is Dream Of You, illustrates why. As in all of the songs she offers us, here you can understand every word even though her foot has the accelerator to the firewall throughout; no easy feat that. Her voice conveys the joy she obviously experiences while singing, in this excellent recording just as she does I much of her work. The first number I heard her sing was Hoagy Carmichael and Johnny Mercer’s beautiful Skylark, in a live video. I became an instant fan. I go back to that one frequently to hear her and, truth told, the guitar work of Reg Schwager; recommended. Cheers, --kg
Emilie Claire Barlow turns this 1934 Nacio Herb Brown--Arthur Freed composition into something new and a wondrous joy to hear. There isn't anything she can't sing into something worth a listen. This one generates smiles. Nicely done indeed!
Beautiful! Did you voice Courtney from total drama? If so! I love her. She is one of my favourite characters!! Keep on singing, your voice is amazing!! xx
