Lovely Standards is the 4th album by singer-songwriter Amel Larrieux consisting of a collection of great American standards, on May 22.

Singer, songwriter Amel Larrieux and producer Laru Larrieux have handpicked a collection of songs. Their nuanced delivery once again exhibits this pair's versatility and devotion to their craft while defying stereotypes. Parlaying Amel's reputation for vulnerable yet intense interpretations of her own songs into an intimate and relevant portrait of classics ranging from Ellington to Rodgers and Hammerstein.

“I grew up watching musicals from the 40’s and 50’s, and my grandfather used to play standards on the piano while our family sang," explains Larrieux, "It was inevitable that I try my hand at interpreting these songs because they were surely as influential in shaping who I have become as an artist.”

I love Amel as an artist and a person, but her last album was so boring that I avoided driving while listening to it.

So soon? She's proving to be pretty consistent. Im a bit tired of cover albums but I'll definitely check it out.

I was NOT feeling that last album, either.
