Diana Krall - 2004 - The Girl In The Other Room @320
With her latest album [written in 2004], The Girl in the Other Room, jazz singer and pianist Diana Krall covers new ground: it is not a jazz album. She works for the first time together with her husband Elvis Costello with whom, also for the first time, she has written six of the twelve songs. The result is Diana Krall’s most personal album so far.
The couple wrote half of the songs on the album. Does Costello’s personality overshadow Krall’s in these originals? No, not at all. The Canadian jazz pianist and singer covers new ground, becomes a composer and songwriter, and enlarges her repertoire to blues and other types of popular music, while preserving her unique style. Working with Elvis Costello has broadened her horizon and made her more daring musically. (Cosmopolis)
