Classic
jazz is not unfamiliar to Lourdes Duque Baron as her first album entitled
“Feeling Good At Any Age” contained classic cover songs with a contemporary
twist. But her debut single from her new upcoming EP My Spring In Paris is a
first glimpse at her original music talent. Teaming up again with producer
Andrew Lane, who also produced Baron’s last album and who also frequently
collaborates with jazz music royalty Ron Ellington Shy, Baron winds up with a
mellow, whimsical single that recalls the passionate late-night European
sophistication of traditional jazz mixed with a contemporary sound. Listen to
My Spring In Paris here.
“My
Spring In Paris” is a song Lane co-wrote a few years back with artist Maya
Tremblay and shelved until the right music artist came along to record it. He
chose this song for Baron because of “her worldliness and her deep vocal
sound.” Lane also happened to compose the arrangement. It's not just the sound,
it's the emotion and feel of the song…very '60s standards like Frank Sinatra’s
“We Just Couldn’t Say Goodbye" or Burt Bacharach's "Walk on By",
classic and romantic jazz songs.
If any
music could be called accessible it's this, with its warm intimacy and classic
good taste. Baron’s look and sound has been referred to as ‘timeless.’ This new
single is a masterpiece and could very well prove to be so. After all, some things
are timeless for a reason; they need no updating, only replicating. Time will
tell. "My Spring In Paris" is now available on iTunes, Amazon and
MTV.

In Heaven."
