Sometimes it\u2019s the melody, sometimes it may be the words, other times it\u2019s a guitar solo, but every once in a while, it is all about the voice. And so we come to Lisa Mills.<\/p>\n
Mills does not have a perfect voice or the best voice, but it is memorable. She draws you in by her ability to emotionally emphasize each word and make you anticipate what is coming next. The Triangle <\/em>is not only her first album for Melody Place Music but is the label’s debut release as well.<\/p>\n At this point in her career, she is an interpreter of other people\u2019s songs. The 14 tracks that comprise the album are an eclectic mix ranging from the Great American Songbook, to straight pop, light jazz, and the blues.<\/p>\n Emblematic of her approach is a cover of the old standard, \u201cJust Walking In The Rain,\u201d recorded live at Sun studios in Memphis. Made a hit by Johnny Ray, Mills\u2019 version is more in tune with the original 1953 recording by the doo-wop group The Prisonaires. Her voice strains to carry the song but ultimately turns it into a smooth R&B type performance.<\/p>\n Cole Porter\u2019s \u201cSame Time Same Place\u201d and \u201cA Place Nobody Can Find\u201d are reimagined as a fusion of jazz and soul that would fit a smoky lounge late at night. \u201cGreenwood Mississippi\u201d and \u201cTell Mama\u201d are more blues-oriented and her vocals have a little more bite.<\/p>\n Mills is one of those artists who has the ability to take a song and make it fit her style, which makes her take unique. The Triangle <\/em>is her coming out party and is an excellent introductory journey through the style, mind, and voice of Lisa Mills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":34018,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[10493],"rating":[5617],"class_list":["post-45847","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-lisa-mills","rating-rating-b-plus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45847\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34018"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=45847"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=45847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
