Little Annie & Paul Wallfisch, "Genderful"
April, 2010
UK CD Southern 28160

songs:

Tomorrow Will Be
Miss Annie Regrets
Suitcase Full of Secrets
Billy Martin Requiem
In the Bar Womb
Because You're Gone Song
Cutesy Bootsies
Sexy Zen Sage
Carried Away
The God Song
Adrianna

Annie (vocals)
Paul Wallfisch (piano)

from the press release:
Annie's latest work is Genderful, her second album with her piano muse, and co-conspirator, composer Paul Wallfisch. The duo somehow manage to perfectly mix soul songs and chansons, bluesy saloon singing and European cabaret styling into a gorgeous, new amalgam. In Mojo magazine's review of the album they call Annie "the female counterpart to the Lou Reed of 1982's Blue Mask - a voice full of pickled New York wisdom". And we're not going to argue! Genderful is a true New York blues album - even if Annie and Paul play around with the musical form (a bit of camp show-tune here, a dash of Bowery chanson there) - certainly in spirit. From the opening lines "Give me your tired, give me your poor" (a nod to the sonnet by Emma Lazarus engraved on the inside of the Statue of Liberty), through "Billy Martin Requiem" (a paean to the late, great, Yankees manager), the barbed salute to cookie-cutter urbanites in "Cutesy Bootsies", and the tender tributes to the lost street characters of "Carried Away" and Adrianna"... it's an album that has the salty sewers and half-empty bottles of champagne of New York running through its veins.
