Influences: DESSY DI LAURO'S "A STUDY OF A WOMAN'S SOUL" ALBUM REVIEWSSTRAIGHT NO CHASER MAGAZINE: Review by Dom ServiniThis mini-LP serves as a perfect introduction to the raw talent of Canadian soul/jazz vocalist Dessy Di Lauro. ‘A Study of a Woman’s Soul’ harks back to the early works of Alison Crokett and India Arie. No bad thing! The part Brazilian, Italian, Cuban vocalist’s subconscious exposure to these corners of the planet is much in evidence, especially in the Latin-tinged ‘When You Need Me’; and the gospel background of her youth also comes into play on the uplifting ‘Shout Out’. Having worked anyone from Kid Koala to Steve Skinner, Dessy seems to have finally found the outlet for her voice with keyboard wiz Ric’key Pageot. The latter provides magical Fender Rhodes and backing vocals on most tracks and produced the whole LP too! So it’s only fitting that the final cut on the album, ‘City High’, should be a low-fi keyboard workout, which allows Ric’key to show off his skills. A tricky LP to get a hold of at the moment, but expect this pair to be rising to the top real soon.http://www.SOULTRACKS.com: Review by Chris RizikA welcome introduction to the new talented team of Di Lauro and Pageot, A Study of a Woman's Soul is a real treat. The compositions are strong, and Pageot and the band provide a restrained but very effective backing behind Di Lauro's strong voice, which is sometimes jazzy and sometimes almost classical in its tone.The first single, "When You Need Me," is a great slice of midtempo Brazilian jazz with nice guitar work by Paolo Ramos. Perhaps even better is the second half of the disc, which has an intimate nightclub kind of feel on the fine ballads "My Inspiration" and "Dear Mama," before finishing with the Pageot instrumental, "City High."About the only bad thing I can say about A Study is that, as an EP, it simply ends too quickly. But Di Lauro and Pageot clearly make a great first impression on this intelligent, appealing disc and make me look forward to Di Lauro's full CD, scheduled for 2006. Highly recommended.ECHOES MAGAZINE: Review by Chris WellLooking for a new name to get excited about? Try Montreal-born Brazilian-Italo-Cuban singer/songwriter Dessy Di Lauro, who has a six-track CD-EP available at www.crazygluemusic.com. Her interesting heritage shines through both the rhythms and arrangements, putting Dessy over on soul's jazzier side - just where I like it. Some very lively grooves here, especially the opening cut, Shout Out, but after repeated in-car plays, the mesmeric, mid-speed ballad My Inspiration has grown into a real personal favourite. Wish it were longer. A lot longer.
