The album opens on the impassioned Fever and the skedaddling Hello and they are followed by the sumptuous At Last, the heartfelt If Love Is Overrated, the languishing beauty within Not While I’m Around, and then we get both the staggered She’s Funny That Way and the rambunctiously joyful This Masquerade.
Along next is the more diligently formed If You Go Away and the majestically free flowing Empty Chairs and they are in turn backed by the low slung ballads Lush Life and Free Again, then comes the gentle finger-snapper Is That All There Is, the enraptured Here’s to Life, the album rounding out on the opulent This Is All I Ask, closing on the dutiful One Day.
