Krall’s The Look Of Love Goes Platinum

  I  

Diana Krall’s fifth album, The Look Of Love (Verve Records), has been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Released on Sept. 18, 2001, the album has already shipped over 1 million units.

The album debuted at No. 9 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart, making it the first traditional jazz recording to debut in the Top 10. It remained in the Top 20 during its first four weeks on the chart. The Look of Love has remained in the No. 1 spot on the Traditional Jazz chart since its release.

The Look Of Love is the follow-up to Krall’s Grammy Award-winning, platinum-selling When I Look In Your Eyes. It was produced by Verve Music Group Chairman Tommy LiPuma.

The album has earned two Grammy nominations-one for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocals (“Love Letters,” Claus Ogerman/arranger) and one for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical (Al Schmitt/engineer).

“We are thrilled that Diana Krall’s The Look Of Love has been certified platinum within four months of release in the U.S.,” said Ron Goldstein, President and CEO of The Verve Music Group. “Working with Diana and her managers Steve Macklam and Sam Feldman has been an exceptionally rewarding partnership and experience.”
