Close Your Eyes

Stacey Kent

A debut of remarkable restraint. Breathy, conversational vocals meet a warm tenor sax for an hour of unhurried, candlelit jazz standards.

September 16, 1997 · Candid

A quiet, romantic intimacy that feels like a whispered conversation in a candlelit room.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the tenor saxophone mirrors the vocal melody with a breathy, Stan Getz-inspired warmth on the title track.
The transition into the bridge of 'There's No You' where the piano drops into a sparse, contemplative rhythm.
The delicate interplay between the acoustic guitar and Kent's whispered delivery during the final minute of 'There's a Lull in My Life'.
