You can’t say that pop jazz artist Kathy Sanborn isn’t multi-talented.
She wrote the songs, produced the disc, sings, and plays most of the
instruments on this disc, including drum/loops programming. That just
might be the issue I have with it. Her voice is warm and inviting-the
problem is that the disc has that 80s synthetic feel to it. It feels
like she’s always singing along a pre-programmed karaoke track. While
her vocals have feel and emotions, the supporting instruments don’t.
Ambitious production, but maybe next time, have a few musician friends
over.
