Local chanteuse Marianne D'Elia was the lucky winner of 99.1 Cool FM's Project Cool contest providing her with the funding to write and record this fabulous dozen tracker. It's obvious after only a few listens that D'Elia was the right choice, and it's refreshing to hear a local talent that has the both the vocal and songwriting chops to, hopefully, take her to the next level. It helps she has the spot-on talent of 'Peg City musical "wrecking crew" cats like Murray Pulver, Gilles Fournier, Daniel Roy, Leonard Shaw, Christian Dugas and Steve Broadhurst to help -- they are superb throughout. The album is a smooth adult-contemporary confection, full of D'Elia's smooth, lilting vocals that are at times a jazzier equivalent to Shania Twain. If staying another night means hearing more of this hot new talent then count me in.
