Play 90 second soundbite of 'Don't Call Me Baby' @ 'CD quality'
'Don't Call Me Baby' opens with a great, somewhat muted horn intro before this gifted vocalist rips in with her warmly gravely tones that owe much to many of the jazz greats from across the years from whom Lana borrows subtle nuances and combines them with Latino influences to arrive at her distinctive, very classy sound. Lana makes jazz cool again and also tips the scales towards the Latin-esque and we all know what happens when Latin and jazz come face to face - think Cuban-esque, think Salsa, think danceability!! Two sexy beasts melded into one horny ride of a work - what more could one ask for?
Lana's rich warm voice combined with the subtle, sultry jazzy undertones, sexy Latino rhythms and the odd dash of modern dance makes a music that's completely 'now' yet quite unique and very brave. Lana sings from her soul, she sounds totally natural and right on the money. 'Don't Call Me Baby' is a compelling and wonderfully foot-tapping work that doesn't quite fit into any straight forward musical category. Lana strengthens her case further with the excellent 'Liar Liar'; more of the same sexy rhythms, and jazzy foundations here and that voice is once again the real deal and the main driving force - Lana is very individual, genre straddling and attention grabbing. Lana will win 'friends' with her brilliant vocal characteristics and she'll pull in more with her unique blending and bending of some of the most sexy musical influences out there. 'Don't Call Me Baby' is also presented here sung in Spanish as a 'Spanish Radio Edit' and all funked-up as the 'Dean James Remix' - great voice, great versatility, great value, and a great single that's oh so sexy, motivationally vibrant, lovingly moody and pretty damn irresistible!!
