"Something Wonderful"
Janet Villas
Review by: Len Rogers StoneWall
Society
More than aptly named, "Something Wonderful" delivers just that! Janet Villas' crisp, clean and powerful mastery of selections is an exciting addition to the sound of today. Proves the adage that classic can be and in this case is original. Villas makes each piece her own. Whether a Broadway/showtune fan or not, Janet Villas brings each song to present day life, and you will be very happy she did.
Sixteen classic songs, contemporary rock to show tunes complete Villas' "Something Wonderful". Starting with contemporary classic, "Downtown", Villas provides a fresh feel with professional prowess. The selected material weaves a musical portrait of Janet Villas' talent. A portrait which is compelling, demonstrative, and exemplary! Tongue in cheek humor with Villas' soulful rendition of "Maria" from "West Side Story" are mixed with the classic and superb delivery of "Summertime". "Janet Villas shines with her moving approach to "God Bless The Child", a classic and popular favorite.
"Something Wonderful" offers not just a catalogue of expertly executed classic material. Also offered is a fresh and current take on time honored classics. Revitalizing and rejuvenating, this is not your father's Broadway. This is Villas, in form and voice! That listeners is a good thing, a very good thing.
