She's not one of my favorites so I approach everything she does with caution, but she seems to have the right attitude here:
Quote:
Although Lennox released an album of contemporary covers in 1995, Medusa, she insists that Nostalgia is not the same concept. "I think of it as interpretations of songs that are part of a classic songbook, so it's a very hallowed ground in a way. You don't go to these songs lightly."
I don't know if she has the gravitas to pull these off, especially the Billie Holiday numbers, but it should be at least interesting to hear what she can do with them.
