| Wendy Alane Wright: ’As I Am’ Wendy Alane Wright has released her first solo album, As I Am, which consists of 10 tracks of mid-tempo love songs flavored with pop, jazz and light r&b. Grammy-nominated songwriting team Allan Rich and Jud Friedman contributed the title track, Steven Cahil (Touched By An Angel) and Carol Hall (Best Little Whorehouse in Texas) contributed the acoustic piano track "Just A Miracle, " Laura Pallas wrote "I Believe" and the pop/rock "Angel No Heaven Can Hold." Wendy Alane Wright and her longtime songwriting partner Rene van Verseveld wrote the rest, including the jazzy tunes "Maybe This Time, " and "Meant To Be Together." The album was recorded in Amsterdam and Los Angeles and has a pop feel with big string arrangements, piano and sax. Wendy Alane Wright's mezzo soprano vocals are soulful and even angelic at times. She has tremendous command of her voice and a dynamic range. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
