Sounds Like: "Norwegian jazz chanteuse Camilla Susann Haug debuts with Sometimes Blue (Noen Ganger Blatt). Although she sings in her native tongue, her subtle shaded vocals recall Swiss-Dutch chanteuse, Susanne Abbuehl, but only at times. Camilla's vocals simmer with passion such as on the track, Wonder (under) where pianist Helge Lien goes to town and bassist Frode Berg and drummer Knut Aalefjaer hold down the fort. Andante recalls an art bar, with its shimmering piano and silky vocals, Berg's throaty bass gives In the Middle of the Night (Midt Pa natta) a Waitsian (Tom Waits) timbre and Rain (Regn) comes off as a jazz lullaby for adults and Ghost (Gjenferd) supplies us with a haunting grooviness. The song also possesses a cabaret appeal.I have already given this disc a few listens and find myself enjoying it more immensely each time. The music here warms up a late cold winter night with the hope of eternal spring waiting in the wings. Certainly Camilla is an artist worthy of our attention and the trio of musicians that embellish Camilla's rich vocal palette deserve some kudos as well. Sometimes Blue sparkles as a debut filled with friskiness and sensuality. You might wonder about that twinkle in Camilla's deep blue eyes, certainly she appears delighted. This album feels to uplifting to ever be mistaken for a blue mood. And perhaps some day this recording will be listed as a Norwegian jazz classic." (Cranky Crow whole music)
