Influences: REVIEWS: "...House Of Blue, her debut album, crosses language and genre. A woozy dreamscape, conjured by lush meshes of electronic sound, contrasts with Lupa’s pure voice and, indeed, with Graeme Hamilton and Bryan Corbett’s stark, beautiful trumpets. The glittering setting can’t altogether disguise the fact that Lupa’s desperate love songs – always treading the thin line between tenderness and torment – spring directly form the torch song tradition. She’s an accomplished actor and singer too, permanently on the brink yet never sacrificing control. Her breathy sensitivity and impressive scat singing proclaim a natural jazz singer. Mike Butler - Metro – Metro Life / Jazz - July 2007 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "This Italian-born singer treads a path that takes its cue from Jazz and Asian underground, as well as left-field pop... "Roger Trapp 'Jazz & Blues' THE FIVE BEST GIGS (n.4 Lupa) - The Independent Feb 2006 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"...dreamy on one level but with an underlying urgency too. Bjork and Kate Bush sound like Lupa's chief vocal influences, though her cover of Goodbye Pork Pie Hat shows her jazz and Joni Mitchell leanings too. There are some inventive touches on this debut disc, especially in choosing to give Brucia La Terra (The Godfather Love Theme) a setting of electric sitar from TJ Rehmi and grumbling '70s synth sounds along with heavy beat and atmospheric trumpet by Graeme Hamilton...House Of Blue occupies a pretty original niche in between pop and jazz..."
