... "Let Me Sing"

Lush orchestral pop and torch songs delivered with a signature raspy grit. A sophisticated 1963 pivot from rockabilly fire to mature, late-night sentiment.

It's Brenda Lee at her most sophisticated, trading the rock and roll fire for a glass of wine and a room full of strings.

A sophisticated, late-night collection of torch songs that balances lush romanticism with a weary, raspy soul.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The controlled rasp in the opening phrase of 'At Last' that sets it apart from more polished versions.
The way the strings swell and then recede during the bridge of 'Losing You', mirroring a sharp intake of breath.
The rhythmic, almost bossa-nova lean of 'Our Day Will Come' that briefly lightens the album's heavy romanticism.
