Free Music Notes for My Romance
Free Music Review: Sweet Romance
Hit: 5 Stars
From cassette to cd, and cd to i-pod, this gem has been a favorite of mine for nearly 18 years.
With Richard Simon as her father, Ms. Simon not only grew up with this music in her home, but around some of the artists who created it. She understands, and has a connection which is evident in her performance.
"Romance" is the rare album where every song is perfect. It lures you in with the lovely title track, and then hooks you with the hauntingly beautiful "By Myself/I See Your Face Before Me." Incredibly, it just gets better from there.
The arrangements and orchestration on the record are heavenly, ranging from elegantly sparse to decadently lush. Apparent is how "My Romance" was produced with the personality of the songs considered individually, rather than collectively. There are many torch/standards albums available where every song is flawlessly produced and performed, and entirely indistinct from the next.
Above all, the vocals make "My Romance" what it is. Ms. Simon has a uniquely wonderful voice. Somehow, she can sound strong yet vulnerable, lonely but desirable, even hurt and optimistic, all at once. With subtlety rather than vocal histrionics, Ms. Simon packs an emotional punch that will knock you out.
As Van Gogh painted so much more than stars in "Starry Night," Ms. Simon draws you deeper into the story of a song, making you feel you know just a bit more than everyone else, but not quite enough. Maybe if you listen again...
If you are curious about "Romance," ignore the silly comments and complaints of a few reviewers, and take a moment to discover for yourself. Try "When Your Lover Has Gone" for the understated arrangement or "Little Girl Blue" for the achingly sweet vocal performance.
I have numerous covers of most of the songs on "My Romance," but Ms. Simon sings with such honesty and emotion that her performances, without exception, are my favorite.
