Heart First by Halie Loren
A collection of songs about the heart... whether it be in the throes of romance, the broken aftermath, or somewhere in between, as seen through the lens of jazz standards, original compositions (including A Woman's Way and the title track), and re-imagined renditions of popular songs (such as Neil Young's "Lotta Love" and Bob Marley's "Waiting in Vain).
This critically acclaimed album was awarded the "Golden (top) Prize" for Best Vocal Jazz album in JazzCritique magazine (Japan, 2011).
