Description:

Jane Olivor's songs of mature passion find an elegant home on Safe Return, featuring the chanteuse in concert with 27 songs about the seasons and varieties of love. Opening salvos "You," "Warm," and "Let's Make Some Memories" define Olivor's terrain as ardent ballads about old love renewed or deepened--not so much romantic as clearheaded about the rewards of commitment and the horrors of isolation. With lustrous, orchestral backing, Olivor turns John Denver's sweet waltz, "Annie's Song," into a sobering oath, mines the secrets of a woman's desire in "Daydreams," and haunts the pretty "Stay the Night" with overtones of loneliness. Olivor often emphasizes dramatic phrasing over melody, making some vocals chunky and tuneless. But she is full-throated and graceful on "Last Time I Felt Like This" (originally a duet with Johnny Mathis) and witty on the country-flavored "Sippin' Wine," and earns her diva stripes on the autobiographical "Brooklyn Roads." --Tom Keogh
