Shirley Bassey - her latest album
Posted by: Wiltshireman on 15 January 2015
Hi all, Is anyone else disappointed with her latest album, Hello Like Before? I have been a huge fan of Shirley and over the years have bought many of her albums and when this one was released boy was I excited. I even had my taste buds whetted with the tv doc that was shown recently but had to wait till now as it ended up as Xmas prezzy for a listen. I am not very impressed with the choice of songs but my main gripe is the poor mix, an up front Shirley which is boxy and a very distant orchestra that I presume is full of stunning musicians because occasionally there is the odd hint of what they were doing. A shame because this sh/could have been the album of the year! Perhaps in not too distant future she will get it remixed so we can really hear what it is capable of!
