Dianne Reeves to Release When You Know April 15

  I  

Dianne Reeves is set to release When You Know (Blue Note) April 15. The album celebrates the different stages of love in a woman’s life. Reeves gives her interpretation of songs from the likes of The Temptations, Minnie Ripperton and Shawn Colvin.

Reeves inspiration for the disc came from an unexpected place.

“There is a Gustav Klimt painting I had seen at the Belvedere in Vienna of a young woman moving through life,” Reeves said. “I remember loving the various depictions of the phases of her life from innocence to increasing maturity. In a similar way, this album progresses through songs which celebrate different phases of love, in much the same way our notions of love change as we move through time.”

The album concludes with Reeves’ sole original offering, “Today Will Be A Good Day,” honoring her 83-year old mother, Vada. The lyrics to the song are her mother’s words of wisdom and how she lives her life.

    “There’s nothing quite like it,” Springs says of working with an orchestra. “It’s 60 people working in harmony in the moment. Singing with them is kind of empowering but also humbling at the same time.”
