Linda Calise gets back to hear roots with an EP of co-written and classic covers. Her range of voice, style in execution is that of epic proportions. Calise, truly has the range, command and versatility to sing in any style, and many are exhibited in this delightful offering Happy To Be Loving You. It features Trombonist, Jeff Galindo (MD Esperanza Spalding) and on Trumpet, Doug Woolverton (Roomful of Blues) as well as the smooth vocals of Rhode Island based R&B singer Frank Rossi on the duet version of Suit & Tie. This delightfully smooth offering is a “SUN-sational” summer bump.
“Thankfully there are artists like Linda Calise who are still interested in doing a combination of their tunes and ones by other artists that they reinvent and put their own spin on. One such great artist of the past was Joe Cocker, he could take a song that was a hit by another artist and instantly with his golden voice make it uniquely his own. Calise similarly has the ability to create a fresh and creative version of a tune we already know and love, and she allows us to dig deeper and look in a captivating new way. Happy to Be Loving You is Linda Calise’s third album and she combines songs we know, with her originals.” -Amad Franaquer Hassan, All About Vocals
