| Meryl Romer Sounds So Sure On New Release For Meryl Romer being sure of her abilities as a vocalist comes as second nature and on her debut release So Sure. The singer embodies that driving spirit and exudes confidence at every twist and turn on all 12 tracks. The CD will be released on Lady Pearl Music April 4, 2009. As comparisons to legends such as Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald are lavished upon her Ms. Romer takes it all in stride and delivers a career defining performance on So Sure. After years of study and training to bring forth her marvelous vocals, the Boulder, Colorado based Ms. Romer will be visiting the heart of jazz in New York City to promote So Sure. Meryl states: "The feelings these songs elicit from me conjure shapes and sounds that tell stories that resonate with my own. Songs are like trying on tailored dresses. Some are like jeweled gowns which tell my story and others allow me to embody imagined, dreamt of characters." Meryl Romer has completed her rites of passage into the jazz world by covering standards like "Lady Is A Tramp", "Big Spender", "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", as well as a beautiful interpretation of Bob Dylan's "You're A Big Boy (Girl) Now". Each composition is carefully handled with love and emotion, bringing you back to the time when they where first recorded. By accomplishing that difficult task, Meryl wins over your heart quickly with these timeless renditions of classic songs from the American Songbook and consequently So Sure quickly becomes a frequent resident in your stereo. Along with the standards, Meryl offers up three originals to make sure the listener understands the long wait and the road that helped her reach the ultimate goal of bringing her voice into your living room. Meryl's musical collaborators, Erik Deutsch, Bill Kopper, Jonti Siman, Marc Dalio, Brian McRae and Robert Kyle, brought an enthused and polished sensitivity throughout the recording, giving outstanding support as she brings life and devotion to every tune with her moving vocal style.
