Relaxed and casual vocal/piano duets are delivered by the voice of Kalya Ramu and late night-sounding pianist Ewen Farncombe on this ep of originals. Some of the tunes, such as “The Swingin’ Rhythm” and “The Things I Do”, have a Tin Pan Alley feel, with rich stride work by Farncombe and winsome and lighthearted delivery from Ramu, even giving a bit of a “do ba do” for a cheery effect. Ramu is at her sandy-voiced best as she undulates to the rich chords on “Laugh It Off” and she’s most vulnerable on the personal and cozy “Comfort”. New standards?
