Noteably, singer Stephanie O'Brien has been replaced by Emma Smith. But the harmonies are still lush and gorgeous. The Puppini Sisters are in smashing form with their typically eclectic (to say the least) and fun selection of pop tunes.
You haven't lived until you hear these women cover ~ in swing-band style ~ "Supercalifragilistic," Carmen Miranda's '''Tico Tico," "Rapper's Delight/ Chandelier," Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and much more. The album kicks off with "Is This the Highlife?" and ends with "Hit the Road, Jack." The trio is backed by a three-piece band, except for on the finale, where they have a full orchestra background.
The album will be released in the USA this Friday, March 18. I ordered on cd but Marcella Puppini sent me a copy on-line, graciously, so I could review it. You can order it on Amazon or wherever fine music is sold.
Class with flash, campy and vampy. put High Life on your must have list.
Incidentally, I recently reviewed Marcella's solo album on this blog and did a Q&A with her as well. Busy lady! I'll be doing a Q&A with all three ladies very soon!
I just LOVE this group and have a couple of their cds. i do have to say that i am disappointed that Stephanie O'Brien did not return to group after their five year absence. But i am sure that New girl will do just fine. But i do have to listen some more tracks with her to give my opinion. BRAVO...PuppiniSisters glad to have you back...... I missed ya.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to love Emma! Her voice is so unique, rich and full of expression - she is made for this genre of music plus the harmonies sound so much tighter! Also Steph has a really good Solo career at the minute look up Stephanie O on YouTube and Soundcloud - she's doing phenonmenally well!
