Description
Surrender brings us two Jane Monheits for the price of one. One’s a virtuoso show singer, focusing on vowels and vibrato. The other lightens up, lingers over consonants and tunes into her inner Brazilian. Surrender may be Jane Monheit’s way of saying ‘adeus’ to heavily-arranged standards and show tunes, in favour of more contemporary material. If so, a world of new possibilities will open up for her. Watch this space. Kathryn Shackleton
