Empty Room

About the Artist
Even before Lissette opened her eyes to the world, she was hearing music. Her parents, Cuba BC (before Castro) singing legends Olga and Tony, were touring South America where in Lima, Peru, Lissette was born. Exposed to the colorful music of Los Andes and the contagious rhythms of the Caribbean, Lissette grew up in dressing rooms and television studios throughout Latin America. She had her very own first hit record in Cuba,at the age of five.

To avoid communist indoctrination in Cuban schools,her parents chose to send her to the United States as part of a program known as "Operation Pedro Pan," (Peter Pan) that placed Cuban children in various institutions and foster homes.

She experienced the hardships of life in exile, away from her country and family, at a very early age.

Her companion was an old guitar, with which she wrote her first songs. She was reunited with her family three years later and moved to Puerto Rico, where her parents were offered their own TV show. Soon after, she was contracted to do a television show of her own, along with her first recording contract. With that, a star was born. Lissette is credited with creating an era in Puerto Rico. Her fashion trends, hats and boots were known to all as the "Lissette look". Her music was sung by the young and the old alike. Her wedding as a teenager to singing idol Chucho Avellanet was televised live, paralyzing the country for an entire day.

Television has always been an important vehicle for Lissette. She starred in her own weekly series for the Telemundo Network, garnering top ratings and innumerable acknowledgements. Her American specials, "Ladies and Gentlemen: Lissette," with Michel Legrand and "Lissette and Some Very Special Friends," with Melissa Manchester and Liz Torres, won a total of 11 regional Emmy Awards.

With over twenty five albums and countless hits, (Eclipse Total Del Amor, Poema 20, Copacabana, Eva, Mal Sueño, Como Decirte, Apaga la Luz, Lo Voy A Dividir, among others), Lissette has consistently topped the Latin American charts over the years. Carnegie Hall, Trop World Atlantic City, El Centro de Bellas Artes San Juan, The James L. Knight Center Miami and New York's Madison Square Garden have been some of the stages where this showoman has received standing ovations from her loyal fans. Lissette sings in several languages and is known for her powerful and dynamic live presentations. A well respected performer by her industry peers for many years, Lissette's multi-faceted talents are to this day imitated by new and evolving artists. Lissette's most recent work, "Amor de Luna" (Sony Latin)received excellent reviews and was selected one of the best albums of the year by the Miami Herald.

Lissette performed a duet with her husband, salsa superstar Willy Chirino on his latest platinum album "Cuba Libre." (Sony Music) In October of 1999, Lissette made a triumphant return to the Puerto Rico stage with sold out concert performances at San Juan's Centro de Bellas Artes. The new millennium greeted Lissette with her greatest career challenge: starring in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical "Song and Dance" at Florida's renowned Coconut Grove Playhouse for a six week run. This production marked her American theater debut

Amazing!.......2007-03-23

I absolutely love this band; incredible vocals and music. My only Quam has nothing to do with the band at all. "Veda" is totally NOT their name! It's "Vedera"! I'm guessing it's a miss print, but the music is still AMAZING!

Hard hitting whithout being hard.......2006-07-02

("I love heavy stuff...yet I love them too!) They were an opener for Thrice(along with the Bled, Underoath, and maybe another band...can't remember...) at a show in SD. First off, seeing them live is better because you feel the drums loudness hit you and see the perfection of the vocals. They were the only low noise band at the show-they stil held the audiences attention... that says a lot... because if you've been to concerts with mixes of music you know how easy one "Booo" starts a revolt of kinds. Anyways, I love hearing the drums, actually. They're simple, yet strong and solid. However this CDs flaw is the lack of diversity. The band should mix up the sound from song to song or push the vocals to a yell, whisper, or anything different at times. Don't get me wrong...the girl has an AMAZING voice, yet with all that goes on in these songs...sometimes you find yourself bored. Each song is strong....overall feel needs work. Check out this band live.

Do not miss this one..........2006-06-26

One of the best CDs I've heard in a very long time.

I'll say wow twice.......2005-09-20

.I've seen Veda play live several, several times. I do believe I was at the very first show that they ever played, at a small venue, and I remember hearing Kristen May's voice from outside during sound checks. I fell in love.
.I believe that the reason Veda has made it as far as they have is because of Kristen's vocals. She has such control over her voice, and she really shows that on their first album. She encompasses a sort of beauty and creativity with the vocal lines that she wails. Not to mention her lyrics are touching and incredible as well. The lead guitar really adds to Kristen voice and rhythm guitar, making things a little more ambient, more complex. The music itself isn't really complex, the chord progressions are simple and clean, but in most all of the songs, each instrument stands out to make it's own. For instance, in "Moments Rewound", listen to the bass guitar. It really makes the song come together.
.This album as such an amazing sense of energy. It's the kind of album you pop in your car CD player and let it roll over and over again. Starting out with "Trade this Fear" was an excellent idea, since it's crammed with energy and Kristen is basically saying, "Yeah, you're gonna like this." Although, I do think that ending the album on an acoustic note was poor,
.I would strongly recommend purchasing this album. It's well worth the money and time spent listening.

Something Natural.......2005-08-30

Hey, guess what? I saw them open in front of Dredg too! Seems that this tour is doing them a lot of good. And that's great, because they deserve it.

What struck me about Veda is that there really is nothing to decipher about them. I can admire that as long as the music is good, and it is. Kristen isn't overpowering as a vocalist, but commands everyone's attention with it. The music hints at an urge to break out in to greatness just below the surface. During their live preformance, Brian wailed his guitar in a very U2/Coldplay fashion which was invigorating. Sadly, it all gets muted on the actual album.

If Veda could capture the blossoming power of their live act and put it in to their next album, they could easily be on their way to something great. Kristen, you have the voice! Use it! The only track that I felt you really had fun with your beauty was "It's All Happening on Broadway" (and subsequently is my favorite track on the album). You nearly get there with tracks like, "For a Friend" ("and we sing...") and "Trade this Fear" with your throaty growls. It's amazing what you can do, just showcase it. Test yourself more often and stretch your range as far as it can go.

And don't be afraid to let the music shine, too. Let the reverb on the guitar explore the studio space next time. Let the drums out of their cage and have some fun. Why not have a bass solo or let it follow in the footsteps of Kristen's voice? There's so much Veda could be doing (and is completely able to do) that could make them something really special.

Until that time, this is an admirable start for Veda. There is something completely natural about the music they make and I hope they get a chance to share that with as many people as possible. They'll be going back on tour soon with Thrice and I highly suggest you check them out. Love and Peace!

At a time when popular music has been micro-marketed to the far side of ad nauseam, Declan MacManus, a.k.a. Elvis Costello, has traded on his reputation as the brightest songwriter to emerge from the new wave era to foster any number of delightful, cross-genre/generation musical surprises, including soundtracks and collaborations with the Brodsky Quartet, Paul McCartney, jazz artist Roy Nathanson, and songwriting legend Burt Bacharach. The latest fruit of that generous, insatiably curious artistic spirit is this elegant partnership with Swedish mezzo-soprano Anne-Sofie von Otter. Though an admitted pop novice, Otter couldn't have picked a better confederate than Costello, an artist whose taste in songs has seldom been tainted by trend.

Together, they weave material from disparate sources--including a slate of compelling Costello material, a pair of Brian Wilson's evocative "Pet Sounds" confessionals, a Tom Waits song from Francis Ford Coppola's One from the Heart (oddly, though effectively, coupled in medley with McCartney's "Junk"), an Abba song, and the Beatles' "For No One"--into a musical tapestry of stately power and grace. Costello sparingly uses his voice as seasoning throughout, though his masterful touch is everywhere. Otter's novice pop singing reveals an easy knack for jazz phrasing that should tempt further explorations and a warmth that belies the rigidity that's so often a byproduct of classical training. Most gratifying of all, this album ultimately achieves what's become one of the loftiest plateaus in Pop music: common ground. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

Loved this CD .......2006-06-13

Who would pair Costello and an opera singer?? Elvis, and somehow it works. I really love the tone and moodiness of it and lyrics that talk about love and life, failure and success. It's soulful, in a contemplative way, music for those tucked away, rainy days .

I LOVE this CD!.......2005-09-01

Finally, an opera singer who knows how to channel her Classical training into a sound that is, as one critic aptly described it, "what pop singers would sound like if they could actually sing"! Although Elvis Costello does not join Ms. von Otter very often in the vocals, when he does they harmonize beautifully. With great melodies (some beautiful, some catchy) and sensitive (but not sappy) lyrics, this album makes a fine addition to any CD collection.

Costello Partners with Hubris and Yields Variable Results.......2005-05-08

Having just heard Elvis Costello's masterful collaboration with Burt Bacharach, "Painted from Memory", for the first time this past month, I had high hopes for this equally unusual partnership with mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter released in 2001. This time, however, Costello acts as arranger and producer, and it is von Otter who is front and center on vocals. She is among the most revered of singers on the opera and recital stages, and she has impressed me in the past, in particular, with her Dejanira in the 2002 Marc Minkowski-led performance of Handel's "Hercules", among many other roles she has embodied. Here she is called upon to be a pop chanteuse, and while the beauty of her voice is inarguable in any setting, her ability to interpret the diverse lyrics in these songs is far more debatable. This is where a Marianne Faithfull, a Blossom Dearie or even a Joni Mitchell could capture more of the underlying feeling with a fraction of the vocal power von Otter can provide but with twice the nuance. There is a rather sterile sameness to the performances here, somewhat jazz-inflected in a cocktail lounge manner at times and at other times, rather morose and dirge-like.

Take, for example, her rendition of Brian Wilson's "Don't Ask (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)" from the legendary "Pet Sounds" album. It moves so glacially that it actually extricates the romantic subtext almost surgically. The same can be said for Jessie Mae Robinson's "The Other Woman", which has at least Magnus Persson's vibraphone to provide relief from the tedium. She's better on the other "Pet Sounds" classic, "You Still Believe in Me", where she cannily soars with the chorus, though Costello damages it by adding some odd, muffled rapping in the background. Ironically, it is on the Costello compositions where the recording most noticeably flails. The opener "No Wonder" starts as a "Greensleeves"-like madrigal and then turns into Beatlesque pop; "Baby Plays Around" seems to suffer from exhaustion by all parties; the two Fleshquartet collaborations, "Rope" and "Just a Curio", sound somewhat like extraterrestrial hymns done in a series of minor keys; and the closing title track, "For the Stars" includes peppy, Beach Boys-sounding harmonies which escape her grasp. In fact, "Just a Curio" would have been a more appropriate title for this entire recording.

On the other hand, the Gallic flavor of Benny Andersson's accordion effectively informs her rendition of Tom Waits' "Broken Bicycles", which melds perfectly with Costello's vocal on Paul McCartney's "Junk". Speaking of Andersson, a fellow Scandinavian, von Otter admirably covers a piano-led ABBA ballad, "Like an Angel Passing Through My Room". She also displays a meticulously casual bounce on Lennon-McCartney's "For No One", though it stops rather abruptly. Von Otter acquits herself surprisingly well on the jazzy "Shamed into Love", written by another unlikely duo, Costello and Rubén Blades, and performed as almost a smokier variation of Bacharach's "Alfie". And speaking of Bacharach, she does a nice turn on the lovely "This House Is Empty Now" from the 1998 Bacharach-Costello disc. Costello and von Otter are masters of their craft, but I think some of the collaborations reflect simply irreconcilable differences. While Costello seems to have an insatiable desire to expand musically, his hubris here appears to constrain the often preternatural vocal skill von Otter displays on the opera and recital stage. Consequently, what we have here is a nice album, a generous one with eighteen tracks, that doesn't seem to capitalize on either contributor's talent fully.

what's so funny about peace, love, and understanding?.......2004-04-22

Nothing's funny about this boring duo. I picked this up FREE at my library and it didn't take me too many tracks to see why it was donated. The musical arrangements are hapless and dull, and her voice is Dion without the Vegas power finale. Come to think of it, the lyrics remind me of Dion; they are as saccharine as anything Dion has ever sung. I wasted a blank CD on this limp, sleepy pairing of two otherwise good artists.

No life in her (pop) art.......2004-03-15

I am a big fan of both artists and wanted very much for this combination to work. It avoids the traditional trap of "oversinging" the pop material. But a few years after its release, in these American Idol era, is that really such a terror for pop music any more? So-called oversinging seems pretty popular these days!

The big problem is that von Otter has not found a way to communicate any emotion in this scaled-down form of singing. All her classical techniques are stripped away, and there's nothing to replace them. Sure, her voice is gorgeous, but it sounds exactly the same no matter what the lyrical content. The songs could have been made up of nonsense syllables for all the emotional life she communicates.

Deeply disappointing - but someone, somewhere, will figure out how to bring classically trained singers to the wonderful pop song repertoire that has been composed over the past 50 years. Elvis may very well be the person to do it, but not on this album.

OK, I'm on a Rita Marcotulli roll . . ........2004-01-17

. . . so I might as well milk it before all her records disappear. This one isn't really her gig--it's that great and underrecorded tenor sax player Sal Nistico's--but she's a huge presence on it.

Certainly worlds apart from what she went on to record on The Woman Next Door and Koine, with their ultra-sophisticated world-jazz vibe, this is pretty straight forward hard bop, although played at a very high level. If one moves toward more adventuresome music, it can never hurt, one suposes, to have something like this in one's resume, in case the jazz police come calling for one's bona fides.

Throughout Marcotulli demonstrates monster chops. Her first solo (and, interestingly, she's the first one to solo on the disc), coming on the Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer standard, "Come Rain or Come Shine," displays an architecture, melodicism, and rhythmic invention of the highest order, even somewhat eclipsing the leader's excellent effort which follows. Her approach bears a distinct resemblence to early Keith Jarrett, even so far as engaging in the same slightly annoying, barely on-mic vocalizing as she solos. And she comps brilliantly as well, constantly feeding Nistico sophisticated chords smartly voiced.

Nistico himself was a fluid, masterful player, thoroughly familiar with both swing and bop vocabulary. It's often said that you can tell the quality of a jazz artist by how he or she plays a ballad. Nistico passes the test with flying colors, getting Strayhorn's "Lush Life" exactly right, with deep conviction, in a gorgeous fasion but without sentimentality, and tinged with melancholly.

The centerpiece, Joe Henderson's greatest tune, "Inner Urge," taken at breakneck speed, showcases both the band's deep and deft conversational abilities and their prowess as soloists, Nastico's hortatory and expressive, Marcotulli's impossibly fleet, deeply swinging, rhythmically charged. Near the end Nistico and drummer Roberto Gatto engage in a stunning passage of back-and-forth conversation.

"Empty Room," a mid-tempo ballad and Nistico original that seems to shift between 3/4 and 4/4, conjures a kind of wistful melloncholly that the band instantly picks up on and hands off to Nistico and Marcotulli for solo expressions of the mood.

Sammy Cahn's sly standard, "I Should Care," seems almost a jaunty, brave-smile-in-the-face-of-advercity commentary on the previous number: OK, you've gone and left me with an empty room, I should care--its sprightly, uptempo mood sustained for a full five minutes until a distinct sadness sets in as the tempo and mood slip back and forth between lento/somber and upbeat/cheerful, the latter prevailing.

Things close out with Charlie Parker's rousing "Hymn," a stirring bop statement of perseverance in the face of adversity, with appropriately expressionistic solos from the two leaders.

A note about the rhythm section, Roberto Gatto on drums and Marco Fratini on bass. These are two very fine players from the relatively unknown--at least in North America--Italian jazz scene. They don't get a lot of solo space, but when they do, the demonstrate prodigious chops--Gatto especially. And they always imbue the proceedings with a rock-solid foundation.

A marvelous--near classic--expression of a venerable strain of this mercurial, original North American music, jazz, seen through a Southern European lens.

NICE WORK!!!.......2005-12-22

I LOVE IT.THE SONGS ARE FUN AND UPLIFTING.ESPECIALLY THE TITLE TRACK THE MESSAGE IS PRECIOUS.I ALSO LOVE ''OBSSESION'' ''MAMA''AND ''THE PLEDGE''.

Decent work from a great artist!.......2000-08-26

It is always nice to have new product from Lissette even if the product she is dishing out here (Empty Rooms) is not new... It was recorded in the late 80s but never released until now.

As I listened to this CD I have to admit that I felt conflicting emotions... On one hand I love Lissette, her voice, her style... On the other hand I could not help feeling "uneasy" with the material she sings here.

Maybe I should clarify that there are two kinds of Lissette fans: #1 Group is happy wih anything she does and enjoys her work at face value... #2 Group, a vanishing species, firmly believes that Lissette is not only a singer but an "artist", the best Cuban popular interpreter of her generation. (Sorry Gloria). Needless to say I belong to the #2 Group and the problem with us is that we expect soooo much from this gifted lady... In a way is not our fault but Lissette's... For a long time her standards were so high that we got spoiled! We still tremble with emotion at her renditions of "Quiereme", "PorFavor", "Sola", "Nada", "Eclipse Total del Amor", "Dona Soledad", "A Veces", "Un Poco Mas"...et all..Simply unforgettable...

I am not sure that the material in "Empty Rooms" is in the same league as the mentioned gems, although I heard distant echos of Lissette's emotion in "I'm In Love" and of course in "Everytime I See Your Picture I Cry"...and she is lots of fun in "The Perfect Crime" and a couple others. Lissette has proven beyond doubt that she can hold her own in English. What I found really, really anoying was the mislabeling of the songs in the CD package. Somebody should've been a little more careful..pleeeease! In short, I accept that "Empty Rooms" is a decent product from a great artist and hope that it will be the lauching pad for better things in the future.

It is a "MUST HAVE"..........2000-08-23

Definitely, "Empty Room" is a must have for all of Lissette's followers. It is full of beautiful surprises and only demonstrates that Lissette has always been the Best of the Best!! Lissette, no matter how long, we will always wait for you-we know you will only give us your best...

EXCELLENT WORK.......2000-08-21

This is an amazing piece of work. Once more Lissette enchants us with music that is intoxicating. The album although not new material is exquisite. Her voice brings chills up and down my spine as she interpretes ballads with the most deepest emotions. This album is a must for fans and should be in the collection of lovers of latin music. Thanks Lissetee for bringing us continued musical excellence!!
