Diana Krall describes her first record in three years as intimate, sensual and erotic.
“I'm not coy single girl singing 'Peel Me a Grape.' I love that song but I don't love it for me any more," Krall says. “I feel more womanly, I guess, and I think this record is a love letter but very sensual, more on the erotic side. It's definitely late night."
Quiet Nights is due March 31 from Verve. The sultry jazz vocalist and pianist known for her crossover appeal had twin sons with husband Elvis Costello in 2006; they turned 2 Dec. 6. Krall said she's never been happier, and the record reflects that.
The ten songs include ballads, three recordings of songs by bossa nova legend Antonio Carlos Jobim, and standards such as “Walk On By" by Burt Bacharach. “It was just the greatest recording experience I've had to date," said Krall, who was inspired to make the record following a trip to Brazil last year.
