René Marie - I Wanna Be Evil (With Love to Eartha Kitt) (2013) Hi-Res

A brilliantly entertaining tribute to the musical spirit of the divine Eartha Kitt as performed by René Marie, whose unique style incorporates elements of jazz, soul, blues and gospel. Her reputation as the most provocatively risk-taking of today's jazz divas makes her the perfect performer to deliver the first full-album tribute to Miss Kitt. 'I Wanna Be Evil' features both well-known and obscure gems of the Kitt repertoire including "C'est Si Bon", "Come On to My House", "Santa Baby" and more. "The voice is as stunning as always, her phrasing immaculate, her ability to pack emotional wallops equalled by very few." (JazzTimes)
