Lazy Afternoon

Barbra Streisand

A masterfully restrained collection of 70s pop standards. Streisand trades her usual theatrical power for a hazy, sun-drenched intimacy that feels like a long summer nap.

October 14, 1975 · CBS/Sony

Find on Amazon

A serene and sun-dappled meditation on memory and nature that feels like a private retreat.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the orchestration swells and then retreats like a tide on the title track, mimicking the 'grass as it grows'.
The jarring but effective transition into a disco-fied Four Tops cover that breaks the album's sleepy spell.
The meta-theatrical ending of 'Widescreen' where the music mimics the feeling of walking out of a dark cinema into blinding light.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
