Diana Krall will release her new album, The Girl In The Other Room, in late April on Verve. It is her eighth recording effort and the first to feature original music.
Of the album’s 12 tracks, six are original compositions co-written by Diana Krall and Elvis Costello. The remaining songs include interpretations of Mose Allison’s “Stop This World,” Tom Waits’ “Temptation,” Joni Mitchell’s “Black Crow,” and Costello’s “Almost Blue.”
“Love Me Like A Man,” a Chris Smither tune made famous by Bonnie Raitt, and “I’m Pulling Through,” an Arthur Herzog tune from Billie Holliday’s repertoire, make up the remaining two tracks.
Krall plays piano and sings on all the songs. Backup artists include guitarist Anthony Wilson, bassists Christian McBride and John Clayton, and drummers Peter Erskine, Jeff Hamilton and Terry Lyne Carrington. Krall and Tommy LiPuma co-produced the album.
Verve will release “Temptation” as a single in March.
