NOT ALL ARE UNKNOWN GEMS December 4, 2008 Mr. C. E. Hebbron (South-West England) Most of these tunes are unknown to me, but 'Isn't it a Pity?' and 'Little Jazz Bird' are far from unknown ones, but are both worth another hearing!

Saw Victoria on 'This Morning' & liked the sound of it.Love the 30s & 40s so was interested in hearing how she sounded.Victorias' voice is pretty average.I could hear The Puppini Sisters & Bette Midler in my head giving the songs that sassy edge that they needed.After listening to the album a few times I was singing along,but found myself wanting to jazz it up a bit more.A pleasant enough creation.
Brilliant!! November 14, 2008 S. Croft 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Victoria Hart is amazing and this album is so good because it involves songs that a great and that I have never heard before! Her voice has improved so much since her last album and this album is definatley worth buying if you like the 1940s style swing music and this is Gershwin so you knwo you are getting quality. The standout tracks are I Won't Give Up, Innocent Lonesome Blue Baby (amazing arragement with revelation from last choir standing), Vodka, I Can't Be Bothered Now, My Sunday Fella. These are just a few as all the tracks are really good and with a great arragement of the strings. This is what you should buy if you want proper music and also a fantastic voice and all round performance from Victoria! BUY NOW!!!
Simply great! November 2, 2008 Danny Boy (London UK) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This album takes me back to my childhood and puts me in a 'happy place'. Victoria's vocals, as ever, are perfect and I love the duets. Her voice shows signs of maturing and her delivery / timing is faultless. Already on my Ipod and highly recommend the album as a must have, enjoy!
a happy find! November 2, 2008 abesdad (london uk) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
i loved Victoria's debut album, and this is even better. her voice really suits the 40s style music, and yet sounds contemporary at the same time. i didn't know these songs (and i'm glad they didn't go for the better known tunes) but already they're sounding like standards. i'm listening to the album on a a lazy sunday morning - perfect!
