According to the details I’ve been readin’ on the ol’ internet from my Google machine over here – it sounds like solo artist Sylvia Brooks has challenged herself to add a bit more into this particular record, her fourth since she first started releasing music professionally, called Signature. From what I gather, she’s spent a good deal of time covering the works of other musicians out there – and this time around, for the most part, her new album is stocked full of her own original tunes. Cleverly bookended though – she’s got a cover tune at the beginning & end, with Melody Gardot’s “Your Heart Is As Black As Night” kicking things off, and Leonard Cohen/Sharon Robinson’s “Boogie Street” closing it off for the finale.
