Japan's Hiromi Kanda doesn't just sing the standards, she embodies them. On her new album, Hiromi in Love, and the sensational videos that accompany the recordings, the Japanese vocalist transforms each classic into a work of art. With an elegant visual style that matches the grandeur of the songs timeless Great American Songbook gems such as "That Old Feeling" "My Funny Valentine" and "Someone to Watch Over Me" Hiromi places this music back into the context in which it was created while breathing new life into it. And it's all a labor of love.
