Editorial review:While the cocktail lounge fad has seen more than a few musicians climb aboard as a career move, the members of Pink Martini are no bandwagon-riding aficionados. Fronted by pianist Thomas Lauderdale, Pink Martini is the real article--a band that approaches the music with unwavering seriousness yet never forgets the fun at the heart of it. Sympathique, the band's debut album reveals an incredibly diverse musical vocabulary on the part of frontman Lauderdale. And what singer China Forbes lacks in range and dynamics, she more than compensates for in attack, approach, and a clear understanding of the material. While most of the songs are upbeat, in the hands of Lauderdale and Forbes, "Qué será será," with its dark atmospherics should be rechristened "Qué será noir." --Wayne Pernu Customer reviews:Strangely exciting and so very good..I listened to Pink Martini's rendition of Brazil and I was sold. But there's so much more. All the sounds are rhythmically sensuous, at times wonderfully funky and performed with a style that can't be found anywhere else. Que' Sera Sera, is performed exquisitely. Wow! a new sound that's strangely exciting. love and marriagei love this album. i want to marry it and have little pink martini babies with it! UpliftingI have this cd and "Hang On Little Tomato" after seeing Pink Martini in concert this summer. They are truly dynamic and I love how they revel in singing songs from various cultures. Songs are touching, lively, passionate and uplifting! |
