Lovely Standards is Amel Larrieux and producer Laru Larrieux’s first foray into the world of classic American standards. The handpicked collection of songs and their nuanced delivery once again exhibit her versatility and devotion to her craft while defying stereotypes.
Amel provides a stellar interpretation of songs ranging from Ellington to Rodgers and Hammerstein, once again proving her musical abilities have no boundaries.

Amel is coming out with a new album?!? This is strange. Just yesterday I was listening to her Bravebird album in the car and wondering when she was going to come out her follow-up to Morning. I guess I won't have to wait long.
I'll be picking this album up the first day it's released as this woman is nothing short of amazing.

I would've preferred a new album of original material but this will definitely suffice!

I'm anxious to pick up this album. I love Amel and I can't wait to see how she tackles "If I Were a Bell." She has the voice to truly make it her own.

I know it leaked. Does anybody have a good link, though? 2 people sent it to me but the .zip files were corrupted and it only gave me the 1st half of the album.
**YES, I'M BUYING THIS BUT I STILL WANNA HEAR IT**

MTV.com:
And lastly, coming in at #195, is the latest from R&B thrush Amel Larrieux, Lovely Standards, which sold 3,700 units in its first week on store shelves.

I knew this was gonna tank. But it was expected considering the genre, style, concept and her ongoing lack of promotion.
