‘Wallflower’ blooms with pop ballads
Print Edition
SINGER-PIANIST Diana Krall wants to make one thing clear about “Wallflower,” her new CD: It’s a pop album, not a jazz album.
For her 12th album, Krall enlisted fellow British Columbian David Foster, a 16-time Grammy winner. Foster did the arrangements and played most of the piano parts, freeing Krall to focus on her vocals.
Three Rock and Roll Hall of Famers provide background vocals on several tracks: Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Timothy B. Schmit of the Eagles (on his own “I Can’t Tell You Why”). Krall sings duets with fellow Canadians: Michael Buble on Gilbert O’Sullivan’s “Alone Again (Naturally)” and Bryan Adams on Randy Newman’s “Feels Like Home.”
It mostly includes pop ballads from the ‘60s and ‘70s, including The Mamas and the Papas’ “California Dreamin’;’’ The Eagles’ “Desperado” and Elton John’s “Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word.”
