Jaana Narsipur’s latest release, The Re-Collection unfolds as an eclectic musical journey, with each track bringing its own mood and sound. Swing Out Sister’s “Breakout” launches the album with an upbeat pop-funk groove, driven by lively horns, a stylish trombone solo, and a poised, soulful vocal that blends precision with personality. Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes” follows with a compelling a cappella opening, then gradually opens into a textured, percussion-rich arrangement where layered harmonies create a mesmerizing atmosphere.

Jaana Narsipur’s vocal gifts seem unlimited. She flexes her flexibility from one track to the next with continually impressive phrasing. It makes for a listening experience that you wish could go on forever. Want to know how good this album is? Well, it has inspired me to open the pool a few weeks ahead of schedule. Jaana Narsipur and company have set bar for the summer soundtrack very high. Enjoy!
