Krazy Love (Sunnyside Records 2009)

Luba Mason

Luba Mason's resonance spins a calming influence on the romantic psyche. Sunnyside Records release of Krazy Love drains the strains of everyday complexities, out of the listener and escorts in tranquility. From the feathery poetry of "Lovely" to attraction of duet of (Ruben) Blades and Mason, the disk has legs.

Ms Mason performance on Krazy Love has a seductive sway, strolling through the coldest of hearts!

The execution of her tonality along with her rhythmical levitation of moods makes this disk a multi-spin jewel. Noting also, that the cast in studio shines with gifts such as Jimmy Haslip's (Yellowjackets) bass keeping the flow steady, along with Brazilian pianist Renato Neto keeping the sound crisp and music sheet smart.

An introduction to the angelic lyricism of Ms. Mason, introduces us to her writing side. A side which soon will capture great praise by many, for her insightful thought evokes many moments and mood driven chapters for many. However, her writing will never succeed her gift for vocalization. Ms. Mason has a voiced carved out of sensuality!

Avoiding the comparison plague, let's just state Ms. Mason's new release has the capacity to surprise and please even the most critical of egos. Her sweet voiced feel of "This House" is a finely framed template of an upbeat and clever tempo. Her idyllic performance expresses warmth to the spin. Ms Mason has the capacity, with vocals in hand, to deliver any emotion one desires.
