Isabel Rose has moxie--the kind that made multi-hyphenates such as Ann-Margret, Peggy Lee and Bette Midler so appealing in years past. Rose's never-say-never attitude has carried her through many an odd challenge over the course of her fascinating career. Whether writing and starring in a major motion picture, getting a mega-deal from Doubleday for her debut novel, or composing and starring in an Off-Broadway musical adaptation of that novel, she's always found a way to make big things happen. Already praised by critics as a writer and actress, she achieves the hat trick with Swingin' from the Hip, her debut CD, due out this fall.
Listeners will find their days brightened by Rose's inspired song selection--a jazz/pop/swing/Cabaret hybrid that includes a smoking version of Hit Me With Your Best Shot and a thrilling Aquarius. Such classics as I Enjoy Being A Girl and Ac-cen-tu-ate the Positive take on a refreshing sex appeal, while Rose's sultry I Only Wanna Be With You and her twangy Temptation recall Patsy Kline or Peggy Lee.
A natural performer, Rose has been praised as “vibrant" by Time Out New York and “Impressive" by The New York Times. Her recent show at Joe's Pub (5/10) sold out three weeks in advance.
Produced by Julian Fleisher, himself a popular figure in the New York nightclub scene, with arrangements by Jeff Klitz, Swingin' from the Hip is a cohesive and kicky collection that will take you by surprise and keep you smiling.
Track listing: Aquarius; Lovely Day; I Enjoy Being A Girl; Temptation; Hit Me With Your Best Shot; Haven't We Met; Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me; I Only Wanna Be With You; Boy Wanted; On The Street Where You Live; Thirteen Men; Ac-cent-tchu- ate the Positive; The Best Is Yet To Come.
