Product Description
Singer/Songwriter Niki Lee has brilliantly set the poetry of Dorothy Parker to pop music in this smart concept album. With a beautifully nuanced voice and sense of humor, Lee has placed the 80-year-old poems atop catchy hooks and hummable tunes, displaying Parker's work for what it is: timeless. From the haunting 'Triolets,' to the compelling 'Advice to the Little Peyton Girl,' Lee's tribute to Dorothy Parker is stellar.
