Karen Souza(born January 10, 1984) is
an Argentinian jazz and bossa nova singer, songwriter, and producer.
Velvet Vault is a studio album by Argentinian
jazz singer Karen Souza. The
album was recorded in Colombia, Japan, and Brazil and released on 1 December
2017 via Music Brokers label
Andy Hermann of DownBeat wrote
"Souza brings a timeless quality to the material, whether it’s a standard
like “I Fall In Love Too Easily”—rendered on Velvet Vault as a hat-tip to Chet
Baker’s iconic version, complete with muted trumpet—or a recent indie-rock hit
like MGMT’s “Kids,” which Souza,
who also produced Velvet Vault, stripped of its original electronic
instrumentation and cast as a ghostly piano ballad".
Ilana Kalish of Atwood Magazine noted "Since 2011, the vintage vixen has released 5 albums of
covers as a soloist and more with The Cooltrane Quartet. But, Ms. Karen is no one trick
vixen. Nestled in with the cornucopia of covers galore on her latest album
Velvet Vault (’17) are some very well interpreted jazz standards. Which proves
to an even broader, perhaps older generation of the music world that Ms.
Souza’s chops are legitimate, and her kudos well earned".
A reviewer of Broadway World stated
"Featuring several jazz standards, "Velvet Vault" is a more
mature and more subtle than Karen's previous efforts, and she truly feels is
her best album to date"
The very thought of
you makes my heart sing
Like an April breeze on the wings of spring
And you appear in all your splendor
My one and only love
The shadows fall and
spread their mystic charms
In the hush of night while you're in my arms
I feel your lips so warm and tender
My one and only love
The touch of your
hand is like heaven
A heaven that I've never known
The blush on your cheek
Whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own
You fill my eager
heart with such desire
Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love
The touch of your
hand is like heaven
A heaven that I've never known
The blush on your cheek
Whenever I speak
Tells me that you are
my own
You fill my eager heart with such desire
Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love.
