Julia Fordham The Language of Love *

Reissue of this 2014 album by the British singer/songwriter, originally released in Japan. The Language Of Love is an impressive collection of cover versions given Fordham's sultry, jazzy treatment. 'Moon River' from Breakfast At Tiffany's, Blondie's 'Call Me', Eurythmics' 'Who's That Girl', and Janis Ian's 'Seventeen' rub shoulders with two new Fordham songs plus a re-working of her classic 'Happy Ever After'. Supported by an outstanding ensemble of leading Los Angeles musicians and Latin jazz aficionados, this seductive collection includes swing, bossa nova and traditional trio interpretations of familiar chart-toppers.
