Not some of the more inventive lyrics I have ever heard (when I could understand them) on this CD. Jane Siberry has a lovely voice, though. She has this kind of Torchy Cabaret Singer thing going on.
Maria is kind of reminescent of a Cabaret act, as a matter of fact. Siberry's smoky vocals, and the keyboard-laden instrumental conjure up a show at a hotel in Manhattan on a rainy night. She vamps her way through most of the tracks. All the while one can imagine her pouting her lips and emoting on a track like "Honey Bee".
Forget the K-Tel Romantic Moments CDs they have on Cable TV at 3am! Get this one for those candle lit dinners. It might prove amusing. After that date, your parents might like it!
