Whatjd, you nailed it right on I think. I like EC's writing, so I enjoyed the disc. Actually I think Diana Krall sings the songs well, her voice fits them; it MUST be love :-)
New Krall /Costello/ SACD is very good...
The new Diana Krall SACD, The Girl In The Other Room", is very different from any of her past releases.
If you are a Costello fan(he co-wrote many of the cuts)..then this one will fit. However if you have liked her past ones..esp. the high water marks of "Love Scenes" and "All For You" (the Nat Cole tribute)...then this one could take a few listens to get there.
Cuts 3, 5 and 1 are good ways to start..but cut 12, which deals with aging, her Mom's death and the new life with a mate is a very open statement for her.
I was lucky enough to see her live for this release's tour, and it was just super.
