SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 5:15 Min.
From her 2017 cover album, Turn Up the Quiet, Diana Krall revisits the 1933 jazz standard composed by Will Hudson, Irving Mills, and lyricist Eddie De Lange.
REVIEW:
To Diana Krall’s credit, she takes an intriguing approach to “Moonglow.” With her throaty vocals resembling a 1930’s chanteuse, this quiet rendition of the jazz classic benefits from a low-key acoustic approach. All in all, the sound is classy, but it’s also ponderously slow. Over the course of five minutes, Krall’s take on “Moonglow” is so excessively mellow that one might be nearly lulled to sleep. In that sense, this lingering “Moonglow” would make an ideal addition to relaxation and sleep aid playlists.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6 Stars
