Songbirds review

Peter Wagenaar reviewed the 1999 re-release of Crazy in Love at Songbirds.

Wagenaar hears the unbridled sexiness in Trudy's voice:

She works some of Noel Coward’s more risqué lyrics into Let’s Do It and delivers them with goofy panache. (Coward, with Cole Porter’s permission, rewrote the song entirely for his 1950s nightclub act.) There’s no doubt what’s on her mind when she sings Do it Again: "Do it again…and again…and again…" she growls lasciviously. "Beware!" yells Richards, before launching into There’s Danger in Your Eyes, Cherie, even though she doesn’t seem unduly perturbed herself.


Read the review.
